By using the Site, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at Privacy Policy. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must exit the Site.
You must be 18 or older, or be 13 or older and have parent or guardian consent to access the Site. We reserve the right to request evidence of parental consent at any time. You are responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Site through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use, and that they comply with them. To access the Site or some of the resources it offers, you may have to provide certain registration information. It is a condition of your use of the Site that all the information you provide is correct, current and complete. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Site, or the entire Site, to users, including registered users. We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Site is unavailable at any time or for any period.
As you use our Site, if you choose, or if you are provided with a user name, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
We have the right to disable any user name, identification code or password, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time for any or no reason, including, if in our opinion, you have failed to comply with any provision of these Terms of Use. At any time, we have right to withdraw or amend the Site, and any service or material we provide on the Site.
