SUBMISSIONS
We are pleased to hear from our visitors and welcome your comments regarding
our products and services. Unfortunately, however, our long-standing company
policy does not allow us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or
materials other than those that we have specifically requested. We hope you
will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility
of future misunderstandings when projects developed by our professional staff
might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Please do not
send us any unsolicited original creative materials such as stories or ideas,
screenplays, or original artwork. While we do value your feedback on our
services and products, we request that you be specific in your comments on
those services and products, and not submit any creative ideas, suggestions, or
materials (unless specifically requested by us).
If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions (e.g., postings to
all media including phone, chat, boards, or contests) or, despite our request,
you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other
information (collectively, the "Submissions"), the Submissions shall be deemed,
and shall remain, our property. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any
obligation of confidence on our part and we shall not be liable for any use or
disclosure of any Submissions. Without limitation of the foregoing, we shall
exclusively own all now-known or hereafter existing rights to the Submissions
of every kind and nature throughout the universe and shall be entitled to
unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or
otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions.

Web Sites or content linked to our Web Site. Users are prohibited from posting
or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, scandalous,

It is our policy to respect the privacy of all customers. Therefore, in
addition to the privacy of Registration data (see our Privacy Policy), we will
not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a customer's e-mail unless (a)
you authorize us to do so, (b) we must do so in order to resolve technical
problems on any iPing Site; or (c) unless required to do so by law or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or
comply with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or
property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect the safety of our customers or
the public. Customers shall remain solely responsible for the content of their
messages.
We reserve the right to remove or edit content from any Forum at any time and
for any reason.
By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us, you
automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such materials expressly
granted) us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and
license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform
and display, create derivative works from and distribute such materials or
incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology now known or
later developed throughout the universe. In addition, you warrant that all
so-called "moral rights" in those materials have been waived.
When participating in a Forum, never assume that people are who they say they
are, know what they say they know, or are affiliated with whom they say they
are affiliated with in any chat room, phone chat room, message board, or other
user- generated content area. Information obtained in a Forum may not be
reliable, and it is not a good idea to trade or make any investment decisions
based solely or largely on information you cannot confirm. We cannot be
responsible for the content or accuracy of any information, and shall not be
responsible for any trading or investment decisions made based on such
information.
CONTENT LINKED TO ANY IPING SITE
Please exercise discretion while browsing the Internet using any iPing Site.
You should be aware that when you are on a iPing Site, you could be directed to
other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from
iPing pages that take you outside of our service. For example, if you click on
a banner advertisement, the click may take you off the iPing Site. This
includes links from advertisers, sponsors, and content partners that may use
our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send
their own cookies to users, collect data, solicit personal information, or
contain information that you may find inappropriate or offensive. In addition,
advertisers on iPing Sites may send cookies to users that we do not control.
We reserve the right to disable links from third-party sites to any iPing Site.
We make no representations concerning the content of sites listed in any of our
directories. Consequently, we cannot be held responsible for the accuracy,
relevancy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in
sites listed in our search results or otherwise linked to a iPing Site.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information using iPing
services --- for example, via message boards or chat --- that information can
be collected and used by people you don't know. While iPing strives to protect
your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any
information you disclose online or on the phone; you make such disclosures at
your own risk.
PROMOTION
You give iPing the right to promote products, services and special events to
you via the email address that you provide to iPing.
If you are using iPing products and/or services for your company, you give
iPing the right to refer to your company as an iPing client. You give iPing the
right to use your company name and/or logo in iPing promotional materials and
corporate documents.
DISCLAIMER
THE MATERIALS IN THIS IPING SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT
TO APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE
MATERIALS ON ANY IPING SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS
WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY IPING SITE OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE SUCH
MATERIALS AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT
WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE
OF THE MATERIALS ON ANY IPING SITE IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY,
RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
We explicitly disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy, content, or
availability of information found on sites that link to or from any iPing Site.
We cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that
you purchase from a third-party site that links to or from any iPing Site or
third-party content on our sites. We do not endorse any of the merchandise, nor
have we taken any steps to confirm the accuracy or reliability of, any of the
information contained in such third-party sites or content. We do not make any
representations or warranties as to the security of any information (including,
without limitation, credit card and other personal information) you might be
requested to give any third-party, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim
against us with respect to such sites and third-party content. We strongly
encourage you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate
before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these
third parties.
Search and Directory are free services that may be offered by iPing. Because
the Web changes constantly, no search engine technology can possibly have all
accessible sites at any given time. Thus, we explicitly disclaim any
responsibility for the content or availability of information contained in our
search index or directories.
CREDIT CARDS
iPing takes the issue of your privacy seriously. We provide your credit card
number, billing and shipping information to participating merchants from whom
you buy goods or services. The merchants are solely responsible for how they
use that information and any other information they independently acquire from
you or about you. Otherwise, we do not share your credit card information with
anyone else. For more information, please read our Privacy Policy.
To protect the security of your credit card information, we employ the
industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. We also encrypt your
credit card number when we store your order and whenever we transfer that
information to participating merchants.
SUBSCRIPTIONS/BILLING
We reserve the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any
fees or charges for services we provide, and to institute new fees, charges, or
terms effective upon prior notice to customers via this web site. We reserve
the right to terminate your account at any time for any reason.
Some services offered on iPing Sites are subscription-based services. If you
open a subscription-based account with any of our sites, you hereby agree to
pay all charges to your account, including and not limited to applicable taxes
and charges for the use of additional service features that are not included in
your subscription package. You will be charged in accordance with billing terms
in effect at the time the fee or charge becomes payable. For subscription-based
services, your charge remains for each subscription period no matter if you
make several calls or zero (0) calls during any subscription period. For greater
certainty, IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SERVICE, THE OBLIGATION REMAINS TO PAY THE
SUBSCRIPTION FEE UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. For more
information regarding canceling your subscription see the "CANCELLATION"
section below. Please Note: Your Subscription will be automatically renewed and
your credit card account will be charged as follows:
The renewal charge shall be equal to the original customer signup price, unless
otherwise notified in advance by the iPing site. Customer's Subscription will
be automatically renewed and Customer's credit card account will be charged 30
days after Customer's initial Sign Up charge date. For example, if Customer
signs up on January 25th, the Customer's first renewal charge may take place on
February 25th. Without notice, iPing may adjust Customer's renewal date in
future subsequent months. This will be reflected by charging the Customer's
account on a pro-rated basis according to the number of days that have passed
since the date of the Customer's latest renewal charge.
Customer's right to use the Service is subject to any limits established by
iPing or by Customer's credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to
Customer's credit card or Customer's charge is returned for any reason,
including charge back, iPing reserves the right to either suspend or terminate
Customer's access and account, thereby terminating this Agreement and all
obligations of iPing hereunder.
If Customer has reason to believe that Customer's account is no longer secure
(for example, in the event of a loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use
of Customer's ID, password, or any credit, debit or charge card number stored
on the iPing site) Customer must notify iPing immediately of the problem to
avoid Customer's possible liability for any unauthorized charges to Customer's
account.
CANCELLATION
iPing agrees that it will terminate your account upon notice via email.
If you cancel an iPing account after signing up or a subscription renewal for a
service, no refund for unused time on such service will be made. If you have a
balance due on any iPing account, you agree that iPing can charge these unpaid
fees to your credit card.
YOU HAVE TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO NOT BE CHARGED FOR YOUR
SUBSCRIPTION. iPing WILL NOT ISSUE A REFUND FOR DATES PRIOR TO YOUR
CANCELLATION. For subscription-based services, your charge remains for
each subscription period no matter if you make several calls or zero (0) calls
during any subscription period. For greater certainty, IF YOU DO NOT USE THE
SERVICE THE OBLIGATION REMAINS TO PAY THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE UNTIL YOU CANCEL
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.
iPing's sign up page states the following:
"Your Credit Card will be debited monthly according to your chosen Subscription
Package. You may cancel your Subscription at any time."
See iPing's sign up page for more information:

If you would like cancel your subscription service, please send an email to
techsupport@iping.com with "Cancel My Subscription" as
the subject of the email.
For security reasons you MUST INCLUDE the following when canceling your
subscription:
-
1) login name
-
2) full name you used to purchase your subscription
-
3) the last 6 numbers of the credit card that you used to purchase your
subscription
We need to "find" your account in order to cancel it for you!
INDEMNIFICATION
You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your
Password and account and for all activities that occur under your account. You
hereby indemnify, defend, and hold us and our affiliates and our officers,
directors, owners, agents, information providers, affiliates, licensors, and
licensees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against
any and all liabilities and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees')
incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of
any breach by you of this Agreement or claims arising from your account. You
shall use your best efforts to cooperate with us in the defense of any claim.
We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and
control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, ANY IPING SITE OR

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR
EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL
LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT [INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE], OR OTHERWISE)
EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING ANY IPING SITE.

TERMINATION
These terms are effective until terminated by either party. You may terminate
these terms at any time by discontinuing use of all iPing Sites and destroying
all materials obtained from any and all such sites and all related

jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. If
any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason
unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms
and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining
provisions. This is the entire agreement between us relating to the subject
matter herein and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by both
parties.
