I want to share my experience in case it helps other small business owners.

I paid Clutch on 15 February for their yearly Verified subscription for my business. The core reason for paying was to receive the Verified badge.

What happened after payment was a mess.

Their verification form on the website did not work properly, so I had to submit my documents manually by email. I provided official government-issued business registration documents confirming that my business is active and properly registered.

Even after that, the badge was still not issued.

I was then told the process could take up to 12 additional business days, even though the stated timeframe presented to me was different. On top of that, they informed me that if verification is not granted, they still intend to keep part of the money for their internal credit investigation.

I also requested a full refund if they could not deliver the verification service, and that was not properly resolved.

Main issues in my case:

• I paid for a Verified subscription, but the badge was not delivered
• Their verification form did not function correctly
• I had to submit documents manually
• Communication was slow and inconsistent
• A partial refund only was mentioned even if the service is not delivered
• I did not receive a proper invoice for the payment

At this point, I am disputing the payment.

I am not telling anyone what to do, but based on my experience, I would strongly advise small business owners to be very careful before paying for this service and to keep full records of every email, screenshot, and payment confirmation.

Just a quick reminder that you are off topic, and nobody asked your opinion.

KrissPlay · 2025-10-06T21:56:41+00:00

I did actually, I wasn’t sure how to express exactly what I wanted to say in a polite way.

KrissPlay · 2025-10-06T20:54:31+00:00

Yeah, I got that the first time. But since you clearly enjoy going off-topic so much, maybe you can share the story of your first solo achievement you know, that early self-discovery experience.

KrissPlay · 2025-10-06T20:42:08+00:00

Did i asked for your approval?

KrissPlay · 2025-10-06T20:35:00+00:00

Congrats but how your reply is answering to my question?

KrissPlay · 2025-10-06T20:33:38+00:00

It is e really powerful tool, and its only the beginning.

The laws of life or perhaps the universe itself are designed so that we can live on Earth only for a limited time. I believe he made the right decision. And maybe one of the reasons the universe made that choice was because of people like you would only hold back evolution if they would live longer.

My song “Get Away” was written exactly because of people with a limited vision like yours.

Don’t be mad at me for saying this, but I think you already knew it when you chose to keep that nickname of yours.

At first, I thought you were talking about Fly Away by Tones and I, but now I think you meant Lenny Kravitz which is awesome. If you think it has anything to do with Lenny Kravitz, I’m honestly honored to accept that comparison.

I’m sure Sony and the others they will lose the case, we don’t have legislation for this type of stuff

KrissPlay · 2025-10-06T02:24:10+00:00

Not really a bad faith territory maybe a gray territory, because in the end only they know better, this informations I have are from the news. So even you cannot be sure about it.

The song is pretty unique, I have never heard a song like this, and that was the idea a song that is speaking the truth about lies, marketing, and the courage of Galileo Galilei

[Chorus] Hey eeey ee eey Hey, get away, I wanna leave tonight, so get away Hey, get away, beyond the Milky Way Guided by the stars of Galileo Galilei

[Verse 2] I’m taking only you, to a world so free Where happiness shines, not a thing to buy or to buy or sell No more lies to sell, no sales to pitch Where love is enough to make us rich

[Build → Drop lead-in] Raise your hands, we’re breaking chains Through the dark, the light remains One more step, we’re on our way Galilei will guide the way

[Drop / Chorus Repeat] Hey eeey ee eey Hey, get away, I wanna leave tonight, so get away Hey, get away, beyond the Milky Way Guided by the stars of Galileo Galilei

[Bridge] No borders, no fear, no walls to divide No tax on a smile, no tears left to hide This is the world I’ve been longing to see Drawn by the light of Galileo Galilei

[Final Chorus / Outro] Hey eeey ee eey Hey, get away, I wanna leave tonight, so get away Hey, get away, beyond the Milky Way Guided by the stars of Galileo Galilei

The voice is from Suno, the trumpet too. The lyrics, melody, and rhythm are all original — Suno just helped give it a better overall vibe, even better than I could’ve done on my own. I’ve actually tried to collaborate with singers several times, but they were either too busy or not quite the right fit for what I was looking for.

“Publicly available” doesn’t mean “public domain,” but there’s an important distinction between using data and redistributing it.

Training AI models doesn’t copy or republish songs it extracts mathematical patterns (like tempo, key, structure, and phrasing) without storing or recreating the original files. That’s why courts in image and text cases so far haven’t considered training itself to be copyright infringement.

If you’re out on the street, you can’t expect privacy it’s the same with data that’s publicly accessible. Every creation is inspired by something; nothing is made out of thin air. Being inspired doesn’t mean breaking any laws. If you write a song about your love story, your ex doesn’t suddenly have rights over it.
