He can change the rules for NEW memberships from Friday last week sure, and have a new annual fee for new accounts, but that's moving forward. He is not in a position to place this new rule retrospectively.
I have had their website and the documentation in my possession (from membership date) checked via a very close friend (senior level Victoria Police Fraud Squad yesterday), he is actioning this matter via his US links for legal & criminal action.
As I state this isn't a negotiation, don't just fall over on this one, he's in breach of contract and deserves a broadside.
In the meantime I have a rcommendation for you all - "Boycott Astromart" !!

He may deserve a broadside, and I agree with this. However, he still isn't in breach of contract if you read all the rules. It can be changed at any time, however, you should have been notified first, according to the sites own terms. Besides, how much did you pay, probably not much, so it is moot.
I wasn't informed first, but then I only had an annual subscription, so I just don't give a toss, because I don't support anyone that changes the rules.
