IX. Membership
A. Registration
You are responsible for providing all equipment and the computer
necessary to access the Sites. You may access the non-public portion of any
Site only by being a member in good standing to that Site. You may become a
member of a Site by completing an online registration form. Upon submission of
the online registration form, The Web Site Operator or its authorized agent
will process the application. In connection with completing the online registration
form, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete
information about yourself as prompted by the registration form (such
information being the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update
the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete at all
times while you are a member. You must promptly inform The Web Site Operator of
all changes, including, but not limited to, changes in your address and changes
in your credit card used in connection with billing for the Sites. If you
provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete,
or The Web Site Operator or any of its authorized agents have reasonable
grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or
incomplete, The Web Site Operator has the right to suspend or terminate your
account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site or Sites.
B. Member Account, Password and Security
As part of the registration process, you will select a unique user
name and password which you must provide in order to gain access to the
non-public portion of a Site. You represent and warrant that you will not
disclose to any other person your unique user name and password and that you
will not provide access to any Site to anyone who is below the age of majority
in your state. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality
of your user name and password and are fully responsible for all activities
that occur under your user name and password. The Web Site Operator will not
release your password for security reasons. You agree to (a) immediately notify
The Web Site Operator of any unauthorized use of your user name and password or
any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at
the end of each session. You are liable and responsible for any unauthorized
use of the Sites until you notify The Web Site Operator by email regarding that
unauthorized use. Unauthorized access to the Sites is illegal and a breach of
this Agreement. You may obtain access to your billing records regarding charges
of your use of the Sites upon request.
C. Fees
You agree to pay all membership fees when due according to the
billing terms. The Web Site Operator posts the current membership fees for each
Site as part of the registration process. The Web Site Operator reserves the
right to change any Site’s membership fees at any time, with or without prior
notice to you. At the time of registration, you must select a payment method. The
Web Site Operator reserves the right to contract with a third party to process
all payments. Such third party may impose additional terms and conditions
governing payment processing. Your account will be deemed past due if it is not
paid in full by the payment due date. If your account becomes past due, you
agree to pay interest on the past due amount at a monthly rate of 1.5%, or the
highest amount allowed by law, whichever is lower, compounded daily, plus any
additional collection costs, credits, charge backs and attorney’s fees. Your
card issuer agreement may contain additional terms with respect to your rights
and liabilities as a card holder. You are responsible for reimbursing The Web
Site Operator for all credit card charge backs, dishonored checks and any related
charges. You authorize The Web Site Operator and its agents to make payments
for the services provided to you through the Sites by automatic check debit and
credit card on your behalf. You hereby agree not to falsely report the credit
card or check card lost or stolen, without good reason that it is lost or
stolen, that you have used for payment of The Web Site Operator’ goods or
services, including subscriptions. Such fraudulent reporting to avoid payment
for goods or services that you or anyone under your authority has made to The
Web Site Operator or the Sites when you have an outstanding charge to The Web
Site Operator shall make you liable to The Web Site Operator for $25,000 in
liquidated damages. This liability for liquidated damages is in addition to any
other liability you may incur for breaches of any other Terms and Conditions in
this Agreement.
D. Billing Errors
If you believe that you have been erroneously billed, please notify
us immediately of such error. If we do not hear from you within thirty (30)
days after such billing error first appears on any account statement, such fee
will be deemed acceptable by you for all purposes, including resolution of
inquiries made by your credit card issuer.
E. Refund Policy
The Web Site Operator does not provide cash refunds. We do, however,
grant credits in the form of free monthly memberships to resolve customer
service issues. The billing system used by The Web Site Operator or our
authorized agents provides extensive credit card fraud protection measures and
our Sites include many features to protect users from accidental charges.
Therefore, refunds to your credit card will be provided only under the rarest
of circumstances such as persistent technical problems originating with our
equipment.
F. Download Limit
As a member in good standing, you may download up to 500MB
(500,000,000 bytes) of data each day. Upon reaching this limit, you may be
denied access to download any additional data until the beginning of the next
day.
X. Termination
You may cancel your membership at any time through the third party
who is processing your fees. Links to these third party processors are located
in the customer service area within the non-public portion of the website.
Otherwise you may cancel your membership by providing: (a) our customer service
department with a notice of your intent to cancel the membership at least 48
hours before the renewal date along with your user name and password; and (b)
any outstanding fees owed for your membership. You hereby agree to be
personally liable for any and all charges made by you for goods or services
through your use of the Sites. This Agreement’s provisions shall survive its
termination, unless otherwise stated. Upon our processing of your request to
cancel your membership, you will no longer have access to the non-public areas
of the Site or Sites to which you were a member.
The Web Site Operator may terminate your access to a Site at any
time, with or without advance notice, if: (a) The Web Site Operator believes
that you have breached any material term of these Terms and Conditions, (b) if
you fail to pay any amount due by the payment due date; or (c) The Web Site
Operator decides to cease operations or to otherwise discontinue any of the
Sites. Further, you agree that neither The Web Site Operator nor any third
party acting on our behalf shall be liable to you for any termination of your
membership or access to any of the Sites. You agree that if your account is
terminated by The Web Site Operator, you will not attempt to re-register as a
member without prior written consent from The Web Site Operator.

Provisions

of the state and federal courts of the State of that state, which is exclusive
venue for any litigation or arbitration permitted under this Agreement. Moreover, you agree that any dispute arising
from your use of the Web Site(s) will be resolved exclusively by arbitration in
the county and state in which we have our principal offices. You further agree that the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically
excluded from application to these Terms and Conditions.
B. Rights to Injunctive Relief
Both parties acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to
provide an aggrieved party with full compensation in the event of the other
party’s breach, and that an aggrieved party shall therefore be entitled to seek
injunctive relief in the event of any such breach, in addition to seeking all
other remedies available at law or in equity.
C. Binding Arbitration
If there is a dispute between the parties arising out of or
otherwise relating to these Terms and Conditions, the parties shall meet and negotiate
in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute. Arbitral Claims shall include,
but are not limited to, contract and tort claims of all kinds, and all claims
based on any federal, state or local law, statute, or regulation, excepting
only claims under applicable worker’s compensation law and unemployment
insurance claims. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through
direct negotiations, then, except as otherwise provided herein, either party
may submit the issue to binding arbitration in accordance with the
then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association. The arbitration shall be conducted in the county and state where
we have our home offices, and conducted by a single arbitrator, knowledgeable
in Internet and e-Commerce. The party bringing the action shall be responsible
for paying all costs for arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fees. Each
party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees (except if the matter is for the
collection of a debt owed in which case the prevailing party shall be awarded
its attorneys fees, all arbitration costs and the arbitrator fees (if
applicable), in addition to all other applicable remedies). The arbitrator
shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages; certify a
class action; add any parties; vary or ignore the provisions of these Terms and
Conditions; and shall be bound by governing and applicable law. The arbitrator
shall render a written opinion setting forth all material facts and the basis
of his or her decision within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the
arbitration proceeding. This Section shall not apply to any breach (or any
allegation which if true would constitute a breach) of any matter relating to
intellectual property. THE PARTIES HEREBY
WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRAL CLAIMS.
Either party may seek interim
injunctive relief prior to arbitration if it is warranted. However, permanent injunctive relief is the
exclusive decision of the arbitrator.
D. Assignment
The rights and liabilities of the parties hereto will bind and inure
to the benefit of their respective assignees, successors, executors, and
administrators, as the case may be. Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any
rights granted hereunder may be sold, leased, assigned or otherwise
transferred, in whole or in part by you.
E. Severability
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator
finds any provision of these Terms and Conditions, or any portion thereof, to
be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent
permissible and the remainder of these Terms and Conditions will continue in
full force and effect.
G. No Waiver
No waiver of The Web Site Operator shall be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent default of the same provision of these Terms and Conditions. If any
term, clause or provision hereof is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or
operation of any other term, clause or provision and such invalid term, clause
or provision shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms and Conditions.
