Legal Authority. If you are an individual, you must be an adult of at least 18 years of age to enroll in the Service as a Member Account holder; and by accepting these TOS as a Member Account holder, you confirm you are an adult of at least 18 years of age. If you are an entity, by accepting these TOS as a Member Account holder, you confirm (through your duly authorized representative) that you are a corporation, partnership or other legal entity duly formed (and incorporated if applicable) in good standing where required to do business with all legal authority and power to accept these TOS; and you are also confirming that these TOS constitute a valid and binding obligation of yours.

Updates. These TOS may be updated from time to time. If EZRA Publications modifies these TOS and that change has a material impact on the Service, you will be provided notice of that change. Your continued use of the Service following such notice constitutes your acceptance of those changes. Please note that these TOS apply to you whether you pay a service fee directly to EZRA Publications or you receive the Service as part of an agreement between you and a third-party authorized to distribute or resell all or a portion of the Service.

Membership. When you accept these TOS and complete the registration process for the Service, you become the "Member Account" holder. You will be asked to choose a unique name for that account (your "Member ID"). You may optionally purchase up to five "Sub Accounts" (each of which will have a separate password and Member ID) under your Member Account for others in your household or business. Each Sub Account will also be required to accept these TOS and complete the registration process for Sub Accounts to become a Sub Account holder of the Service. Member Account holders are responsible for all activity on your Member Account and on any of the Sub Accounts. Violations of these TOS in a Member Account or in a Sub Account can result in termination of the Member Account and all associated Sub Accounts.

Additional Terms. When using particular services on the EZRAWeb™ site, including certain premium services, you will be subject to posted guidelines or additional terms applicable to those services. In addition, certain services offered by EZRA Publications may governed by additional agreements. The posted guidelines, additional terms or additional agreements (as applicable) will be provided to you when you use, sign up for or register for those particular services. Unless otherwise expressly noted, the services provided by EZRA Publications are consumer services.

Premium Services Defined. "Core Premium Services" are those premium services that are included as part of your membership in the Service, including those premium services you may select during registration. "A La Carte Premium Services" are those premium services that you may optionally purchase over and above your Core Premium Services and are provisioned under your Member ID.

Termination of Premium Services and Benefits. Core Premium Services, any discounts that are provided to Members of the Service on the purchase of certain additional A La Carte Premium Services, or any other benefits provided as part of the Service will terminate upon termination or discontinuance of your membership with the Service.

2. Description of Service

Description. The Service includes a rich collection of resources provided by EZRA Publications, including various communications tools, forums, shopping services, personalized content and branded programming that EZRA provides through its network of properties. Included with your basic membership fee, you receive certain premium services and content.

Core Premium Service Choices. While registering for the Service, you may select for the Member Account Core Premium Services. You may change your selection of Core Premium Service from each of these two categories three months after the date of your initial selection, and no more than once each three months thereafter. Sub Accounts do not receive access to these Core Premium Service choices. Core Premium Services are subject to change or discontinuance at any time without notice. Therefore, a premium service that was previously available as part of the Service may no longer be available at the time you wish to change your selection. Your files and/or configurations associated with your selection of a Core Premium Service will no longer be available after you change your selection of that Core Premium Service. You may experience a delay in availability of a Core Premium Service you have selected while your selection is being processed. Certain Core Premium Services also may require you to download and install software.

Registration Discounts. Your Service may also include discounts on premium services not included with your basic membership fee. Those discounts must be used within one year from the date that EZRA Publications (or its affiliate) first activates the Service on its network and can only be used by the Member Account and not by any of the Sub Accounts. If you do not use the discounts within this one year period, you will not receive a rebate, credit or refund for the value of such discounts. Such discounts are only for premium services properly ordered from the discount order page and cannot be applied to any premium services not ordered through that page, including premium services purchased or ordered prior to registration for the Service. The list of premium services for which a discount is available may be changed from time to time. If such a discount is for a premium service that is delivered on a subscription basis, the discount will only be applied for the continuous time specified. All discounts terminate upon the termination or cancellation of the Service and are non-transferable. EZRA Publications will not notify you when the discount terminates or expires.

User Discretion Advised. Please be aware that, while EZRA Publications and its affiliates strive to maintain an 'all ages appropriate' site, there may be certain areas on the Service that are designated for persons over 18 years of age. Care should be taken to prevent access by members of your household who are under that age.

3. Connection to EZRAWeb™

Equipment & Software. Other than all software provided to you by EZRA Publications and any revised version thereof that you choose to use, you must provide all equipment, devices and software necessary to receive the Service. Due to the infinite number of possible combinations of hardware and software, you are responsible for the compatibility of your system with the Service.

Operational Limits. Provisioning of the Service is subject to the availability and the operational limitations of the requisite equipment and associated facilities. You understand and agree that temporary interruptions of the Service may occur as normal events in the provision of the Service and that EZRA Publications is not liable for such interruptions. You further understand and agree that EZRA Publications has no control over third party networks you may access in the course of your use of the Service, and therefore, delays and disruptions of other network transmissions are beyond the control of EZRA Publications.

4. Your Registration Obligations

All information that you provide to EZRA Publications must be accurate, including your name, address, credit or charge card numbers and expiration dates and any Service payment information ("Registration Data"). You are responsible for keeping such information up-to-date and must provide changes promptly to EZRA Publications by updating your account profile as provided by Service.

Certain premium services may require additional registration. You will be prompted to complete the registration process before you can be provided those premium services.

5. Children

Adult Supervision. EZRA Publications is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, children under the age of 13 will not be permitted to access the Service unless added as a Sub Account by a Member Account holder who is their legal guardians. When you add your child to your Member Account, in addition to certifying that you are least 18 years old, you are certifying that you are the legal guardian of the child/children you wish to add to your Member Account. By adding a child to your Member Account, you give your child permission to access all services accessible through the Service by children under 13 years of age with parental consent, including email, message boards, clubs, and instant messages (among others). Please remember that the Service is designed to appeal to a broad audience. Accordingly, as the legal guardian, it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the services and/or Content (as defined below) provided through the Service are appropriate for a minor. Minors who access the Service are assumed to have parental or guardian consent before accessing the Service.

Access Controls. EZRA Publications suggests that you take advantage of the access controls offered through the Service, which allow you, as the Member Account holder, to block access to certain types of web content you may feel are inappropriate for minors through either your Member Account or your Sub Accounts. However, EZRA also recommends that you remain diligent in the supervision of any minors in their use of the Service and the Internet. Access controls provided through the Service are intended as a guide only. Neither EZRA Publications nor their licensors can be responsible for any content accessed by you or minors, whether or not you take advantage of the access controls provided through the Service. In addition, neither EZRA Publications nor their licensors guarantee the accuracy of such access controls, and you agree that you will not hold EZRA Publications liable for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of such access controls.

Communications with Strangers. If you allow minors to access EZRA Publications features, please remind them of the dangers involved when corresponding or communicating with strangers or new acquaintances on the Internet (especially in Chat and Newsgroup rooms as well as when using email). It may also be wise to carefully note all Internet pen pals with whom minors frequently correspond.

Community. EZRA Publications provides the Service to you as an individual as well as to the community of Service Members. In order to provide an accessible network for all, Members are expected to act as part of that community. High levels of activity on the Service reflect uses not in keeping with community objectives. Inappropriate uses of the Service include but are not limited to the use of the Service on an inactive basis, that is keeping your account active and online with EZRA (or its affiliate's) network without your actual interaction with or use of the Web browsing, interactive features, or email services provided by or through EZRA; continuous and sustained excessive account activity; and the use of methods or automated programs to defeat systems that limit inactivity. Due to violations of community objectives through such or other inappropriate uses, EZRA Publications may do one or all of the following: seek a clarification of your activity patterns; automatically disconnect your session for such violations or for a period of inactivity, which period will be within EZRA's sole discretion; or cancel your Member Account.

You further acknowledge that EZRA reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time without advance notice.

Unsolicited Email. You are expressly prohibited from sending the same or substantially similar unsolicited electronic mail message, whether commercial or not, to one hundred (100) or more recipients, and from posting to a newsgroup, bulletin board, or message board, the same or substantially similar unsolicited note, whether commercial or not, ten or more times per day through the use of the Service, EZRA's equipment, or in connection with any EZRA email address, EZRA domain name, or any EZRA trademark or service mark. For each day that this provision is violated, EZRA Publications may assess a charge of $50.00 per day for unintentional violations and $500.00 per day for deliberate or repeated violations. Neither EZRA’s demand, nor payment of these charges, will prevent EZRA Publications from terminating your Member Account (or any Sub Account connected to your Member Account) or pursuing other legal remedies EZRA may have at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a lawsuit for monetary damages or obtaining an injunction or other forms of equitable relief. EZRA Publications will not be liable for its failure to enforce this restriction. Further, failure to enforce this restriction in one or more instances will not constitute a waiver of any or all of EZRA's rights to enforce this restriction with respect to subsequent violations.
