PMBUZZ.com (PMBUZZ) welcomes you. PMBUZZ provides its service to you subject
to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us from time
to time without notice to you. In addition, when using particular PMBUZZ owned
or operated services, you and PMBUZZ shall be subject to any posted guidelines
or rules applicable to such services, which may be posted from time to time. All
such guidelines or rules (including but not limited to our Spam Policy) are
hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. Your use of PMBUZZ constitutes
your binding acceptance of these Terms of Use as well as your acceptance of
PMBUZZs Privacy Policy.
PMBUZZ is a social networking site, which allows you to upload, view and
publicly display your content through the PMBUZZ website(s) (the Web Site)
solely for your personal, non-commercial use, for entertainment purposes only
(the "Service"). You also understand and agree that the Service may include
advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for PMBUZZ to provide
the Service. You also understand and agree that the Service may include certain
communications from PMBUZZ, such as service announcements, administrative
messages, or newsletters, and that these communications are considered part of
PMBUZZs membership. You will be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless
explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the
current Service, including the release of new PMBUZZ properties, shall be
subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided
"AS-IS" and that PMBUZZ assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion,
mis-delivery or failure to store any user files. You are responsible for
obtaining access to the Service, and that access may involve third-party fees
(such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for
those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of
advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all
equipment necessary to access the Service.
In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of
legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving
services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction.
You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information
about yourself as prompted by the Service's upload and/or registration form
(Registration Data) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data
to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information
that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or PMBUZZ has reasonable
grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or
incomplete, PMBUZZ has the right to suspend or terminate your account, remove
your uploaded content, and refuse any and all current or future use of the
Service (or any portion thereof). The Service is available to anyone 21 years of
age or older who truthfully and accurately enters all required information
(including date of birth and a legitimate email address). PMBUZZ is not intended
as a service for children and therefore persons under the age of 21 may not
become a member.
Certain other information about you is subject to our Privacy Policy. For
more information, see our full privacy policy at PRIVACY POLICY. You understand
that through your use of the Service you consent to the collection and use (as
set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of
this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage,
processing and use by PMBUZZ and its affiliates.
You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the
Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all
activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a)
immediately notify PMBUZZ of any unauthorized use of your password or account or
any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at
the end of each session. PMBUZZ cannot and will not be liable for any loss or
damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.
You understand that all information, data, text, photographs, audio or music
files, video, graphics, or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted
or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from whom
such Content originated. This means that you, and not PMBUZZ, are entirely
responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise
make available via the Service. Although PMBUZZ maintains the right to review,
edit and remove Content from the Website in our sole discretion, PMBUZZ does not
control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the
accuracy, ownership, content, integrity or quality of such Content. You
understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is
offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will PMBUZZ be
liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or
omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result
of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made
available via the Service.
You agree to not use the Service to:
You acknowledge that PMBUZZ may or may not pre-screen Content, but that
PMBUZZ and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their
sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or move any Content that is available via
the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, PMBUZZ and its designees shall have
the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise
objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated
with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy,
completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge

material or obtain any such material using the Service: (a) Content involving
nudity, including nudity or partial nudity of children of any age; (b) Content
that exploits children or minors or that discloses any personally identifying
information beyond a first PMBUZZ about persons under the age of 21; (c) content
that disseminates personal information about another individual for malevolent

is or may be deemed to be grossly offensive to the online community, including
but not limited to, blatant expressions of bigotry, prejudice, racism, hatred
and profanity; (e) Content promoting or providing instructional information

your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property or
personal safety of PMBUZZ, its users and the public.

including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and
(b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting

You understand that the Service and software embodied within the Service may
include security components that permit digital materials to be protected, and
that use of these materials is subject to usage rules set by PMBUZZ and/or
content providers who provide content to the Service. You may not attempt to
override or circumvent any of the usage rules embedded into the Service. Any
unauthorized reproduction, publication, further distribution or public

strictly prohibited.
When you register with PMBUZZ, you acknowledge that in using PMBUZZ services to
send electronic communications (including but not limited to sending photo
announcements, uploading photos and text to PMBUZZ, and other Internet
activities), you will be causing communications to be sent through PMBUZZ's
computer networks, portions of which are located in locations in the United
States outside your state of residence. As a result, and also as a result of
PMBUZZs service and the nature of electronic communications, even
communications that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the
transmission of interstate communications regardless of where you are physically
located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to this Terms of
Service, you acknowledge that use of the service results in interstate data
transmissions.
Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all
local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Specifically, you
agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical
data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.
By posting Content to PMBUZZ you grant PMBUZZ, its affiliates and partners a
worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, nonexclusive, sub licensable license to
use, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform,
publicly display, transfer, transmit, distribute and publish that Content for
the purposes of displaying that Content by PMBUZZ. In addition, when you post
Content to PMBUZZ, you also grant us a license to distribute that Content,
either electronically or via other media, to users seeking to download or view
it through the Service or for purposes of other services provided by PMBUZZ and
to display such Content on PMBUZZ affiliated sites. This license shall apply to
the distribution and the storage of your Content in any form, medium, or
technology now known or later developed. You may remove Content you have posted
on PMBUZZ at any time. When you do remove your Content, the license described
above will automatically expire.
You agree to indemnify and hold PMBUZZ and its subsidiaries, affiliates,
officers, agents, employees, partners and licensors harmless from any claim or
demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or
arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make available
through the Service, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service,
your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell or exploit
for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or
access to the Service.
You acknowledge that PMBUZZ may establish general practices and limits
concerning use of the Service, including without limitation the maximum number
of days that uploaded Content will be retained by the Service, the maximum
number of links that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service,
the maximum size of any file that may be uploaded by an account on the Service,
the maximum disk space that will be allotted on PMBUZZs servers on your behalf,
and the maximum number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may
access the Service in a given period of time. You agree that PMBUZZ has no
responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any files or
other Content maintained or transmitted by the Service. You acknowledge that

any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or

endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the
provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
