If I joined that site as a surfer, I would sure as hell charge back. Yours is apparently precisely the type of site that makes surfers think all adult sites are out to scam them. Congrats.
What is a trial? Different meanings for different folks:

I argue that a trial is a membership done on a provisional basis in an attempt to determine if you want an actual membership. At least that's the way we look at it.

I don't know why the adult industry insists on cutting its own throat by conditioning the users to expect the world for $3.95. We don't plan on doing that, and I would suggest others not do it either.

We spend at least $100,000 per photo shoot (3-5 shoots/year), and we're sure as hell not going to recoup that cost $3.95 at a time. People want to see our content? Then let them pay.
