"Jaiza" is the interactive on-line service operated
by Jaiza.com ("Jaiza") on the World Wide Web of the
Internet, consisting of information services and content
provided by JAIZA, affiliates of JAIZA and other third
parties. "Subscriber" means each person who establishes
or accesses a connection ("Account") for access to and
use of Jaiza.
2. General.
(A) This Agreement, which incorporates by reference
other provisions applicable to use of Jaiza, including,
but not limited to, supplemental terms and conditions
set forth in paragraph 14 hereof ("Supplemental Terms")
governing the use of certain specific material contained
in Jaiza, sets forth the terms and conditions that apply
to use of Jaiza by Subscriber. By using Jaiza (other
than to read this Agreement for the first time), Subscriber
agrees to comply with all of the terms and conditions
hereof. The right to use Jaiza is personal to Subscriber
and is not transferable to any other person or entity.
Subscriber is responsible for all use of Subscriber's
Account (under any screen name or password) and for
ensuring that all use of Subscriber's Account complies
fully with the provisions of this Agreement. Subscriber
shall be responsible for protecting the confidentiality
of Subscriber's password(s), if any.

or discontinue any aspect or feature of Jaiza, including,
but not limited to, content, hours of availability,
and equipment needed for access or use.
3. Changed Terms.
JAIZA shall have the right at any time to change or
modify the terms and conditions applicable to Subscriber's
use of Jaiza, or any part thereof, or to impose new
conditions, including, but not limited to, adding fees
and charges for use. Such changes, modifications, additions
or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice
thereof, which may be given by means including, but
not limited to, posting on Jaiza, or by electronic or
conventional mail, or by any other means by which Subscriber
obtains notice thereof. Any use of Jaiza by Subscriber
after such notice shall be deemed to constitute acceptance
by Subscriber of such changes, modifications or additions.

all telephone, computer hardware and other equipment
needed for access to and use of Jaiza and all charges
related thereto.
5. Subscriber Conduct.
(A) Subscriber shall use Jaiza for lawful purposes only.

any material which violates or infringes in any way
upon the rights of others, which is unlawful, threatening,
abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity
rights, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable,
which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal
offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate
any law, or which, without JAIZA's express prior approval,
contains advertising or any solicitation with respect
to products or services. Any conduct by a Subscriber
that in JAIZA's discretion restricts or inhibits any
other Subscriber from using or enjoying Jaiza will not
be permitted. Subscriber shall not use Jaiza to advertise
or perform any commercial solicitation, including, but
not limited to, the solicitation of users to become
subscribers of other on-line information services competitive

as in the content original to it. Subscriber may not
modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer
or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit,
any of the content, in whole or in part. Subscriber

permitted copying, redistribution or publication of
copyrighted material, no changes in or deletion of author
attribution, trademark legend or copyright notice shall
be made. Subscriber acknowledges that it does not acquire
any ownership rights by downloading copyrighted material.
(C) Subscriber shall not upload, post or otherwise make
available on Jaiza any material protected by copyright,
trademark or other proprietary right without the express
permission of the owner of the copyright, trademark

with Subscriber. Subscriber shall be solely liable for
any damage resulting from any infringement of copyrights,
proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting from
such a submission. By submitting material to any public
area of Jaiza, Subscriber automatically grants, or warrants
that the owner of such material has expressly granted

or reproduce the material for that Subscriber's personal
use. Subscriber hereby grants JAIZA the right to edit,
copy, publish and distribute any material made available
on Jaiza by Subscriber.

Third Party Content.
JAIZA is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content
supplied by third parties and Subscribers. Accordingly,

than does a public library, bookstore, or newsstand.
Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers,
or other information or content expressed or made available
by third parties, including information providers, Subscribers
or any other user of Jaiza, are those of the respective
author(s) or distributor(s) and not of JAIZA. Neither
JAIZA nor any third-party provider of information guarantees
the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content,
nor its merchantability or fitness for any particular
purpose. (Refer to Section 6 above for the complete
provisions governing limitation of liabilities and disclaimers
of warranty.)
In
many instances, the content available through Jaiza
represents the opinions and judgments of the respective
information provider, guests, Subscriber, or other user
not under contract with JAIZA. JAIZA neither endorses
nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of
any opinion, advice or statement made on Jaiza by anyone
other than authorized JAIZA employee spokespersons while
acting in their official capacities. Under no circumstances
will JAIZA be liable for any loss or damage caused by
a Subscriber's reliance on information obtained through
Jaiza. It is the responsibility of Subscriber to evaluate
the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information,
opinion, advice or other content available through Jaiza.
Please seek the advice of professionals, as appropriate,
regarding the evaluation of any specific information,
opinion, advice or other content.
12. Miscellaneous.
This Agreement and any operating rules for Jaiza established
by JAIZA constitute the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede
all previous written or oral agreements between the
parties with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of
laws rules. No waiver by either party of any breach
or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver
of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The
section headings used herein are for convenience only
and shall not be given any legal import.
