content or applications offered from time to time by Fanadu in connection
with the Fanadu Website (the “Services”).
By using the Fanadu Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement,

The term “User” refers to a Member or Visitor. You are authorized
to use the Fanadu Services only if you abide by the terms of this Agreement
and all applicable law. You should read this Agreement carefully and save
a copy of it. If you do not agree to the terms set forth in this Agreement,
you should leave the Website site and discontinue use of the Fanadu Services
immediately. If you wish to become a Member of Fanadu.com, you must read
this Agreement and indicate your acceptance of the terms of this Agreement.
Customer will be responsible for obtaining, at Customer's sole expense,
all equipment or other software, if any, required to use Fanadu Services.
This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of the
Website and your membership in the Services and includes Fanadu’s
policy for acceptable use of the Services, your rights, obligations and
restrictions regarding your use of the Services and Fanadu’s Privacy
Policy. Fanadu may modify this Agreement from time to time and such modification
shall be effective upon posting by Fanadu on the Website. You agree to
be bound by any changes to this Agreement when you use the Services after
any such modification is posted. It is important that you review this
Agreement regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes. This Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect for so long as Customer is a registered
user of the Fanadu Services, and may be terminated only in accordance
with the termination provisions of this Agreement.
Fanadu reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, refuse
to post or remove any posting (including private messages) by you, or
to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the
Fanadu Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior
notice, and without liability.
For access to the Services and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Customer
agrees as follows.

does not violate any applicable law or regulation. Your profile may
be deleted and your membership may be terminated without warning, if
we believe that you are under 18 years of age. FAILURE OF CUSTOMER TO
UPDATE CONTACT INFORMATION MAY DELAY OR PREVENT CUSTOMER FROM RECEIVING
IMPORTANT NOTICES AND AMENDMENTS TO THIS AGREEMENT. NOTICE SHALL BE
DEEMED DELIVERED WHEN FANADU SENDS AN EMAIL TRANSMISSION, FAX TRANSMISSION,
OR MAIL USING THE CONTACT INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE CURRENT CONTACT
INFORMATION, WHICHEVER METHOD IS CHOSEN BY FANADU, AT FANADU’S
SOLE DISCRETION.

a password when you sign up to become a Member. You are responsible
for maintaining the privacy of your password. You agree not to use the
membership account, username or password of another Member at any time
or disclose your password to any other person. You agree to notify Fanadu
immediately if you suspect unauthorized use of your membership account
or password. You are solely responsible for all use of your membership
account.
- Term. This Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect while you use the Fanadu Services or are a Member.
You may terminate your membership at any time, for any reason, by contacting

reserves the right to charge for the Services and to change its fees
from time to time in its discretion although currently it is a free

you will not be entitled to the refund of any unused portion of membership
fees. Failure to pay any fees imposed or to authorize payment of such
fees from a Customer account or bank within thirty (30) days of the
imposition or increase in such fees gives Fanadu the right to terminate
access, and to delete Customer content, immediately. Customer is not
entitled to any refund for denial of access for any reason. Fanadu will
