THE AOL MEMBER AGREEMENT
Welcome to AOL. By registering for AOL or using AOL services, software and products, you agree to be bound by this Member Agreement and the rules and policies published on AOL (including AOL's Community Guidelines and Privacy Policy). You also agree to transact electronically with AOL.
1. ABOUT THE AOL TERMS OF SERVICE
This Member Agreement, the Community Guidelines and the Privacy Policy collectively make up the AOL Terms of Service. The AOL Terms of Service govern your AOL membership and your use of the AOL Online Service and any of the AOL Services (as defined below). Certain features and services offered by AOL and its Suppliers (such as AOL Call Alert, AIM, and AOL Music Now) contain additional terms or guidelines that supplement this Member Agreement and will govern the use of those services. You will have an opportunity to review the additional terms before you sign up or use those services.
2. DEFINITIONS
AOL will use the following terms in this Member Agreement:
·	a. Account - The original account you open when you register for AOL membership through which you obtain access to the AOL Online Service and other AOL Services, and all sub-accounts or other accounts opened under your original account. 
·	b. AOL Online Service - The primary U.S. online information, entertainment, communications and transactions service, including all Software for accessing the AOL Online Service, which is offered under various subscription plans, including Internet connectivity subscription plans. 
·	c. AOL Services - The AOL Online Service and all other websites, software, services and products offered by AOL. 
·	d. Content - Information, software, games, communications, photos, video, graphics, music, sound and other materials provided by or through the AOL Services.

3. QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP
To use the AOL Services, you must be a U.S. resident and legally able to enter into contracts. AOL reserves the right to limit you to one free trial or promotion of a paid subscription plan that cannot be combined with other offers.
4. REGISTRATION FOR MEMBERSHIP
You must register in your own name and provide true and current information. AOL will open an Account for you when you complete your registration. You will select (or AOL will assign you) a primary screen name that will be identified with your Account for the life of your account. You can use this primary screen name to log on to AOL Services and to send e-mail. You will not be able to change your primary screen name; however, depending on your plan, you will have the opportunity to open sub-accounts by creating additional screen names. Screen names may not be vulgar, used by someone else, or impersonate someone else. AOL in its sole discretion may reject the use or assignment of a screen name. All AOL screen names affiliated with your Account are the property of AOL and, at AOL's sole discretion, expire upon the cancellation or termination of your Account. Please visit Keyword: Screen Names to review all guidelines regarding screen names. If you open a sub-account for a child under the age of 13, you certify that you are the child's parent or guardian and you agree to AOL's policies and practices in areas on the AOL Online Service created for children's screen names and others areas of AOL Services created for children. 
5. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT
You are responsible for all activity on your Account (including activities on any sub-accounts or any of the sub-accounts you may spin-off as a separate account). You must supervise the use of your Account by others, including minors and teen-agers. You and your Account may be subject to disciplinary action or termination if your Account is used inappropriately.
You agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding your membership and use of AOL Services. You agree to abide by the AOL Community Guidelines and you acknowledge that AOL has the right to enforce them in its sole discretion. AOL may take any action against your Account, ranging from a warning to termination, if you or anyone using your Account violates the AOL Community Guidelines or any other term of the AOL Terms of Service. AOL is not required to provide notice prior to terminating your Account.
You agree to keep confidential the passwords associated with your Account and passwords that you use with all other AOL Services. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AOL for losses incurred by AOL or another party due to someone else using your Account or password as a result of your failure to use reasonable care to keep your Account information confidential.
6. UNSOLICITED BULK COMMUNICATIONS
You may not use AOL's communication tools, such as e-mail, instant messaging, voice, fax and chat services to send unsolicited bulk communications, including through e-mail or instant messages. Similarly, you may not authorize others to use your Account or sub-accounts to send unsolicited bulk communications, or cause unsolicited bulk communications to be sent by someone else. You may not harvest or collect information about AOL users from AOL Services, including "screen names", and use that information for the purpose of sending unsolicited bulk communications. Any violation of these provisions may result in immediate termination of your Account and further legal action. You agree that AOL may take any legal and technical remedies to prevent unsolicited bulk communications from entering, utilizing or remaining within AOL's networks.
7. BILLING AND CHARGES
a. Information about charges and fees
AOL charges monthly, in advance, for certain AOL Online Service subscription plans and other AOL Services. Surcharges apply if you use certain payment methods (such as payment from your checking account) or use certain telephone numbers for Internet connectivity through the AOL Online Service. Additional fees may apply when you subscribe to other supplemental or enhanced services. All charges are nonrefundable unless provided otherwise in your subscription plan.
You can go to Keyword: Help, then selecting Accounts & Billing; go to AOL Keyword: My Account; or contact an AOL customer service representative at 1-800-827-6364 to get information about billing or to determine the status of your bill and the amount of any surcharge. AOL may, in its discretion, post charges to your payment method individually or may aggregate your charges with other purchases you make from AOL.
Any trial promotion for fee-based AOL Services (such as free trial time for a paid subscription plan to the AOL Online Service) must be used within the specified time of the trial. You must cancel your Account before the end of the trial period to avoid being charged a membership fee. Please note, however, that even during any free trial or other promotion, you will still be responsible for any purchases and surcharges incurred using your Account, sub-accounts, or any new accounts you open or "spin-off" for any of your sub-accounts.
b. Your payment responsibilities
You must select a payment method to pay AOL for any subscription fees and all purchases made from AOL. You must give AOL accurate billing and payment information and keep this information up-to-date through AOL Keyword: My Account. AOL will bill you through the payment method that is associated with your Account. You agree to pay AOL for all charges incurred under your Account, including all applicable taxes, fees and surcharges. You authorize AOL to charge your designated payment method for these charges and to retain information about the payment method associated with your Account. If AOL does not receive payment from your designated payment method, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by AOL.
Every time you use an AOL Service, you reaffirm that (i) AOL is authorized to charge your designated payment method; (ii) AOL may submit charges incurred under your Account for payment; and (iii) you will be responsible for such charges, even if your membership is canceled or terminated.
After 30 days from the date of any unpaid charges, your Account will be deemed delinquent and AOL may terminate or suspend your Account for nonpayment. AOL reserves the right to assess an additional 1.5 percent (or the highest amount allowed by law, whichever is lower) per month late charge if your payment is more than 30 days past due and to use alternate means to collect any unpaid charges. You are liable for any fees, including attorney and collection fees incurred by AOL in its efforts to collect any remaining balances from you.
You are responsible for all charges incurred under your Account, including applicable taxes, fees, surcharges and purchases made by you or anyone you allow to use your Account (including your children, family or friends).
You must notify AOL about any billing problems or discrepancies within 90 days after they first appear on your Account statement. If you do not bring them to AOL's attention within 90 days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies.
8. COMMUNICATIONS CHARGES
You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining at your expense all equipment and services needed to access AOL Services. If you are using AOL's dial-up Internet connectivity services, you are responsible for any telephone charges you may incur by accessing AOL Services. The use of any AOL dial-up Internet connectivity number is the same as making a telephone call to that number and thus may result in additional charges on your telephone bill depending on your location and calling plan. The locations and area codes listed in connection with these numbers are not necessarily indicative of whether a call will be local or toll free for you. You should select your AOL dial-up Internet connectivity numbers carefully. Please call your local phone company to ensure that the dial-up number(s) you select will be local calls for your calling plan. This is especially important if there have been changes in area code designations, in your telephone service providers, or in your calling plan. AOL has no information on whether your use of a particular dial-up Internet connectivity number will result in phone charges.
You are also responsible for any communications charges you may incur by accessing AOL Services through a third-party network, such as a cable or wireless carrier. Your carrier may charge service fees for alerts, text messaging (including receiving/sending instant messages and e-mail), web browsing and other services that require the use of airtime and wireless data services. Check with your carrier to verify the fees that may apply to you.
AOL also provides several surcharged 800 or 888 phone numbers to subscribers of its Internet connectivity services. These numbers are not toll-free. You agree to pay the applicable surcharge to AOL if you choose to use these surcharged numbers. Information on the amount of this surcharge and on available dial-up phone numbers is located at AOL Keyword: Access. Note that you can incur long-distance or toll charges or surcharges for 800 or 888 phone numbers even during your free trial.
9. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE
AOL in its sole discretion may change or discontinue any or all aspects of the AOL Services without notice, including access to support services, Content and other products or services ancillary to the AOL Services or an AOL membership.
AOL may modify the AOL Terms of Service, change its fees and change its billing methods at any time. AOL will provide you with notice of any change in pricing or material changes to the Terms of Service at least thirty (30) days in advance. If you disagree with any proposed change, your sole remedy is to cancel your membership before such change takes effect. Otherwise, you will be bound by the revised terms if you keep your membership. AOL will not refund any charges if you choose to cancel your membership for this reason.
For certain subscription plans, AOL reserves the right to log off accounts that are inactive for an extended period of time and you may not use tools that defeat AOL's automatic log-off feature. 
10. CONTENT
a. Your Use of Content as an AOL Member
AOL, its Suppliers and its members who lawfully post Content on AOL Services own the property rights to that Content. The Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, international treaties, laws and other proprietary rights, and also may have security components that protect digital information only as authorized by AOL or Supplier. You agree that you will not take any action to interfere with AOL's or its Suppliers' ownership of or rights in the Content and you will not attempt to circumvent any mechanisms for preventing the unauthorized reproduction or distribution of the Content.
You may use any Content available on the AOL Services, but only for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may be given the opportunity to download certain Content such as music and photos, but you may do so only to the extent as authorized for that particular Content and only for your personal use. You may not use the Content in a manner that exceeds the rights granted for your use of the Content, which includes unauthorized copying or distribution of the Content or creating an unauthorized derivative work.
b. Content You Post
You may only post Content that you created or which you have been given permission to post by the owner of the Content. You may not post or distribute Content that is illegal or that violates the AOL Community Guidelines. By posting or submitting Content on any AOL Service, you represent and warrant that (i) you own all the rights to this Content or are authorized to use and distribute this Content on the AOL Services and (ii) this Content does not and will not infringe any copyright or any other third-party right nor violate any applicable law or regulation.
Although you or the owner of the Content retain ownership of all right, title, and interest in Content that you post to any AOL Service, AOL owns all right, title, and interest in any compilation, collective work or other derivative work created by AOL using or incorporating this Content. In addition, by posting Content on an AOL Service, you grant AOL, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns, agents and licensees the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, adapt and promote this Content in any medium.
c. Content on the AOL Services or the Internet
AOL is not required to pre-screen Content available on the AOL Services, although AOL reserves the right to do so in its sole discretion. AOL is not liable for Content that is provided by others. AOL reserves the right to remove Content that, in its sole judgment, does not meet its standards or does not comply with the AOL Community Guidelines, but AOL is not responsible for any failure or delay in removing such material. AOL is not responsible for content available on the Internet, although AOL reserves the right to block access to any Internet area containing illegal or other harmful content being used for purposes that are unlawful or injurious to AOL or its members. You acknowledge that third-party sites on the Internet may have their own terms and conditions that govern your use of those sites.
d. Exporting of Content or Software
You agree to abide by U.S. and other applicable export control laws and not to transfer, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any Content or Software subject to restrictions under such laws to a national destination prohibited under such laws, or to any person or entity prohibited under such laws, without first obtaining, and then complying with, any requisite government authorization. You further agree not to upload to AOL any data or software that cannot be exported without prior written government authorization and notification of AOL, including, but not limited to, certain types of encryption software. This assurance and commitment shall survive termination of this Member Agreement.
11. LICENSE
AOL and the Suppliers grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to install the Software on any computer or device from which you wish to access the AOL Services and to use the Software to connect to and use the AOL Services in accordance with this Member Agreement. AOL occasionally will provide automatic Software and technology upgrades to improve your member experience, such as virus and spam screening technologies, although these upgrades may not be consistent across all platforms and devices. You agree to accept and to take no action to interfere with such automatic upgrades, scanning, and related services. Also, the Software may be subject to a license agreement that accompanies the Software.
You may only use the Software to access and use AOL Services. You may not copy the Software except to install it on your computer or other devices.

You agree to abide by all laws and regulations in effect regarding your use of the Software and the AOL Services. Finally, you may not authorize or assist any third party to do any of the things described in this paragraph.
The Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212.

12. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
YOUR USE OF AOL SERVICES, SOFTWARE AND THE INTERNET IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE AOL SERVICES AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" FOR YOUR USE, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, UNLESS SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LEGALLY INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION. SPECIFICALLY, AOL AND THE SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT THE AOL SERVICES AND SOFTWARE ARE MERCHANTABLE, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURATE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NEED, OR NON-INFRINGING. AOL AND THE SUPPLIERS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE OR AOL SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE OR AOL SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE OR AOL SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED. AOL AND THE SUPPLIERS DO NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE, AOL SERVICES, OR RELATED DOCUMENTATION IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY AOL OR AN AOL AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS WARRANTY. AOL PROVIDES THE AOL SERVICES AND SOFTWARE ON A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE BASIS AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS OR USE THE AOL SERVICES (EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY NETWORKS) AT TIMES OR LOCATIONS OF THEIR CHOOSING, OR THAT AOL WILL HAVE ADEQUATE CAPACITY FOR THE AOL SERVICES AS A WHOLE OR IN ANY SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHIC AREA.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
AOL'S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF ANY SOFTWARE PROVIDED OR USED BY AOL SHALL BE THE REPLACEMENT OF ANY AOL SOFTWARE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY OTHER DISPUTE WITH AOL IS THE CANCELLATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT AS DETAILED BELOW IN SECTION 15.

BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, AOL AND ITS SUPPLIER'S LIABILITY IN SUCH STATE OR JURISDICTION SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. EXCEPT FOR OFFERS EXPRESSLY MADE OR GUARANTEED BY AOL, AOL AND ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT ENDORSE, WARRANT OR GUARANTEE ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OFFERED THROUGH AOL AND WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
14. INDEMNIFICATION
Upon a request by AOL, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless AOL and its Suppliers from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorneys' fees, that arise from a breach of the AOL Terms of Service for which you are responsible or from the use of AOL Services or the Internet, or in connection with your transmission of any Content on AOL Services. AOL reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In that event, you shall have no further obligation to provide indemnification for AOL in that matter.
15. TERMINATION
Either you may cancel or AOL may terminate your membership or subscription to an AOL Service at any time. You can cancel a fee-based subscription plan for use of the AOL Online Service by calling, by sending a fax, or by sending a letter to AOL's Customer Service Department. Cancellation will take effect within 72 hours of receipt of your request. Complete information on AOL's cancellation procedures is available at AOL Keyword: Cancel. AOL will send you written confirmation of the cancellation of your fee-based subscription plan to the AOL Online Service. If you cancel near the end of your billing period and are inadvertently charged for the next month's fee, call AOL to have the charges reversed. If you signed up for certain supplemental or enhanced services for an extra fee (such as AOL Music Now), you should consult the specific cancellation policies and procedures for those services.  If your membership or subscription to AOL Services is canceled or terminated, including based on inactivity in your use of a free service, any data you have stored on such AOL Services may not be retrieved later.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 13 above, cancellation of your Account is your sole right and remedy with respect to any dispute with AOL. This includes, but is not limited to, any dispute related to, or arising out of: (1) any term of this Member Agreement or AOL's enforcement or application of this Member Agreement; (2) any policy or practice of AOL, including AOL's Community Guidelines and the AOL Privacy Policy, or AOL's enforcement or application of these policies; (3) the Content available on AOL Services or the Internet or any change in Content provided by AOL; (4) your ability to access and/or use the AOL Services; or (5) the amount or type of fees, surcharges, applicable taxes, billing methods, or any change to the fees, applicable taxes, surcharges or billing methods.
In the event that your Account is terminated or canceled, no online time or other credits will be credited to you or can be converted to cash or other form of reimbursement. You understand and agree that you no longer will have access to any of the AOL Services associated with your deactivated Screen Name or Account. AOL must give you express permission before it will reactivate you Account if AOL previously terminated your membership for violating the AOL Terms of Service (including its Community Guidelines) or due to an outstanding balance. Active AOL members may not allow former AOL members whose memberships have been terminated to use their Accounts. 
16. GENERAL LEGAL TERMS
