Certain portions, components, content and features

A. You agree to pay, using a valid credit card
(or other form of payment which we may accept
from time to time), the fixed and periodic charges
and fees (including prepayment plan fees for multiple
periods) set forth on this Website (such as the
fixed Sign Up Fee and the recurring Monthly Fee),
applicable taxes, and other charges and fees incurred
in order to access our Fee-Based Products. We
reserve the right to increase charges and fees,
or to institute new charges or fees at any time,
upon reasonable advance notice communicated to

other means as we may deem appropriate from time
to time (including electronic mail or conventional

card or other account at the start of the standard
or multiple-period prepayment plan billing period
and at the start of each renewal period, unless
you terminate or cancel your subscription before
the relevant renewal period begins. Except in
the case of a multiple-period prepayment plan
or if you were eligible for a discounted rate
but are no longer eligible for that rate, the
renewal charge will be the same as the prior periods
charge, unless we notify you in advance at the
time of sign up or prior to the beginning of the
renewal period as described above. Each time you
use our Fee-Based Products you reaffirm your agreement
that we may charge your credit card (or other
form of payment, if applicable). In the event
we cannot charge your account, we reserve the
right to terminate your access to our Fee-Based
Products. If you purchased a multiple- period
prepayment plan or you were eligible for a discounted
rate but are no long eligible for that rate, your
subscription will automatically be renewed at
our standard subscription rates and for our standard
period (usually monthly) at the start of the renewal
period. If you wish to purchase another prepayment
plan for multiple periods and we are currently
offering prepayment plans at such time, you must
notify us prior to the termination of your current
prepayment plan.
B. In addition to the fees and charges set forth
above, you are responsible for all charges and
fees associated with connecting to our Website
and our Fee-Based Products, including without
limitation all telephone access lines (including
long-distance charges, when applicable), internet
service provider fees, telephone and computer
equipment, sales taxes and any other fees and
charges necessary to access our Fee-Based Products.
C. For purposes of your use of our Fee-Based
Products including identification and billing,
you agree to provide us with true, accurate and
complete information as required by the subscription
or sign up process to our Fee-Based Products (Subscription
Data), including your legal name, address,
telephone number, email address and applicable
billing information (e.g., credit card number
and expiration date), and to allow us to share
your Subscription Data with third parties for
the purpose of verifying the information you provide
and billing your credit card or otherwise charging
your account. You agree to maintain and promptly
update the Subscription Data and any other information
you provide to us to keep it accurate. Without
limiting any other provision of this Agreement,
if you provide any information that is untrue,
inaccurate, or incomplete, or we have reasonable
grounds to suspect that such is the case, we reserve
the right to suspend or terminate your user account
or subscription and refuse any and all current
or future use by you of our Website (or any portion
thereof) or any of our Fee-Based Products. You
are obligated to check the Account Settings
feature of our Website to determine whether your
Subscription Data is current and accurate, and,
if not, to correct or update your Subscription
Data including your billing information. You agree

account, create an account on behalf of someone
else, or create a false or misleading identity
on this Website.
If your registration or subscription is revoked
for any reason, you agree not to register or subscribe
again with our Website using another user name
or through any other means. If we have reason
to suspect, in our sole discretion, that your
account has previously been terminated, we reserve
the right to terminate any new accounts you have
registered without any notice to you, or to exercise
any other remedies available to us under this
Subscription Agreement or by law.
D. You are entirely responsible for maintaining
the confidentiality of your password and user
account information. You must notify us immediately
in the event of any known or suspected unauthorized
use of your user account, or any known or suspected
breach of security, including loss, theft, or
unauthorized disclosure of your or anyone elses
password or credit card information. In the event
of a breach of security by you, you will remain
liable for any unauthorized use of your subscription
until you update your Subscription Data. If your

under your user account. You are responsible for
paying any amounts billed to your credit card
by a third party which were not authorized by

your failure to satisfy limitations we set based
on demographic, geographic, or other similar criteria,
or if we terminate your subscription to one of
our Fee-Based Products prior to the end of the
applicable period, you agree that all fees and
charges assessed by us are nonrefundable. Nonrefundable
fees include the full Monthly Fee for any month
(or portion thereof) elapsed (regardless of whether
you logged onto our Website or used the Fee-Based
Product during that month). If your cancellation
of your subscription to one of our Fee-Based Products
is due to your failure to satisfy limitations
we set based on demographic, geographic, or other
similar criteria prior to the end of a period
for which you have incurred a charge, with the
exception of any fixed upfront fee (such as any
Sign Up Fee), we will refund any fees in accordance
with the refund policy we have in effect at such
time. If we cancel or terminate your subscription
to one of our Fee-Based Products (as opposed to
you canceling your subscription) prior to the
end of a period for which you have incurred a
charge, with the exception of any fixed upfront
fee (such as the Sign Up Fee), there will be no
refunds.

immediately deactivate your user account and all
related information and/or files in your user
account and/or bar any further access to such
information and/or files, our Website (or part
thereof) and/or our Fee-Based Products, except
as we may otherwise provide from time to time.

We reserve the right to collect fees, surcharges,
