keep it current, complete and accurate. All information that we request and you provide on original sign-up, and
all updates thereto, are referred to in these Terms of Service as "Registration Data."
You acknowledge that some of the Services and Content are provided by third party suppliers and not by the
Company.
The Company reserves the right to take any and all action, as it deems necessary or reasonable to maintain the
security of the Website and your account, including without limitation, terminating your account, changing your
password or requesting information to authorize transactions on your account.
WE EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
THIS SECTION.
5.2 Eligibility. The Company does not permit the Services to be used by
temporarily or indefinitely suspended users. In addition, the Company does not permit use of the Services by
residents (a) of any jurisdiction that may prohibit our Services or (b) of any country that is prohibited by
law, regulation, treaty or administrative act from entering into trade relations with the United States or its
citizens. Such countries may include, without limitation, Afghanistan, Burma, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North
Korea, Serbia, Syria and Sudan. If you do not qualify, do not use the Services.
5.3 User Registration Data. Upon registration, including your provision of
Registration Data, you will receive a Company identification ("ID") and a password. You are entirely responsible
if you do not maintain the confidentiality of your ID and password. You are responsible for all uses of your
account, whether or not actually or expressly authorized by you. You may change your password by following
instructions on the Website. You agree that your account, ID and password may not be transferred or sold to

Services, or (iii) violated the Terms.
6. FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS
6.1 Payment. You agree to pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance
with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. You must
provide the Company with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) or PayPal
account ("Payment Provider") as a condition to signing up for any of the Personalized Services. Your
Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card or PayPal account, and you must refer
to that agreement and not the Terms to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing the Company with your
credit card number or PayPal account and associated payment information, you agree that the Company is
authorized to immediately invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to the Company hereunder
and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify the Company of any change

any time to change our prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Company Properties or
by e-mail delivery to you.
6.2 Taxes. The Company's fees are net of any applicable Sales Tax. For purposes
of this section, "Sales Tax" shall mean any sales or use tax, and any other tax measured by sales
proceeds, that the Company is permitted to pass to its customers, that is the functional equivalent of a sales
tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax. If any Services, or
payments for any Personalized Services, under the Terms are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you
have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to the Company, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales
Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify the Company for
any liability or expense we may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon our request, you will provide us
with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all
applicable taxes.

for any reason or for no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that we shall have no obligation or liability to
you for failure to do so or for doing so in any particular manner; and/or (d) disclose any Content, and the
circumstances surrounding its transmission, to any third party in order to operate the Website; to protect the
Company and the Website's users and visitors; to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests; to
enforce this Agreement; or for any other reason or purpose.
8. UPDATES TO THE COMPANY PROPERTIES
You understand that the Company Properties are evolving. We may make improvements and/or changes to the Website,

from time to time in order to use the Company Properties. We do not warrant that information on the Website is
accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusions and
disclaimers of certain implied warranties, so some of the provisions of this section may not apply to you.

third parties ("Third Party Ads"). When you click on a link to a Third Party Site or Third Party Ad, we
will not warn you that you have left the Company Properties and are subject to the terms and conditions
(including privacy policies) of another website or destination.
Such Third Party Sites, Third Party Content, and Third Party Ads are not investigated, monitored or checked for
accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by us, and we are not responsible for any Third Party Sites accessed

Properties, including without limitation the content, validity, truthfulness, completeness, usefulness accuracy,
offensiveness, opinions, reliability or policies of or contained in the Third Party Sites, Third Party Content,
or Third Party Ads, or other Content on our Website other than from an authorized Company representative acting
in his or her official capacity. Any information, statements, opinions or other Content provided by third
parties and made available on our Website are those of the respective author(s) and not the Company.
9.2 Links To Third Party Sites or Third Party Content. Inclusion of or linking to

other materials posted by visitors to our Social Media Pages do not necessarily reflect the opinions or ideas of
the Company. All visitors to our Social Media Pages must comply with the respective social media website's Terms
of Use. We review some but not all postings to our Social Media Pages, and may remove postings that we determine
are inappropriate or offensive.
9.4 App Stores. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the
Application(s) and associated Services depend on the third party from which you received the Application
license, e.g., the Apple iPhone or Android app stores ("App Store"). You acknowledge that the Terms are
between you and the Company and not with the App Store. The Company, not the App Store, is solely responsible
for the Company Properties, including the Applications, the content thereof, and addressing any claims relating
thereto. In order to use an Application, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all
fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection
with the Company Properties, including the Application(s). You agree to comply with, and your license to use the
Application(s) is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third-party terms of agreement (e.g.,
the App Store's terms and policies) when using the Company Properties, including the Application(s). You
acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and will have
the right to enforce them.
