I originally semi posted this in the donator section. However I thought I might as well post it in general discussion as well.

Never sign up to usenet.nl. If you somehow manage to get onto it, get off the website haha.

Their "Free Trials" actually charge you £1, although their invoice says £0.
Their not even located in europe let alone the Netherlands.
If you sign up for a free trial, there is no cancel subscription button, they advise that you contact their non responsive support and in 7 days you'll be charged $99.99.
If you cancel the direct debit through paypal or your bank, they will send you a nice letter through the door eventually asking for $99.99 + additional fees + an additional £30 for sending you a letter and threaten with legal action.
They cannot be sued because their outside of europe and I assume some offshore location.
Their service is also slow, highly limited and almost unusable.

Unfortunately I fell for this and well im now in debt. So this is just a word of warning before signing up to usenet.nl.

If they cannot be sued, you are also not in debt. It is a coin with two sides ;). No one with such illegal activity is going to take additional actions. If you are offering subscription as a online seller you need to provide cancelation always, if not, that would be punishable. (I study law and I know that for sure).

Ok, so, what they do is illegal, they actually won't take any action if you don't pay.
My friend was in the same situation before.
