Welcome to FIFAworldcup.com. Yahoo! UK Limited ("Yahoo!") and Federation Intérnationalé de Football Association ("FIFA"; Yahoo! and FIFA are collectively referred to as "Provider") provide this service to you on these Terms of Service ("TOS"). Particular parts of the Provider’s services may have additional guidelines, terms and rules posted by Provider at any time. If you use these parts of the services then these guides and rules will apply as part of the TOS. In most cases the guides and rules are specific to a particular part of the Service and will assist you in applying the TOS to that part. Where there is any inconsistency between the TOS and any guide or rule, the TOS will prevail.

Provider may vary the TOS. We may need to do this to reflect changes to the Service or the laws that we operate under. Where Provider wishes to make a change, we will notify you by posting details of changes on this url, on other pages of fifaworldcup.com or by email. Please look at this site regularly to check for changes. If you do not want to continue to receive the Service after any such change, you may choose not to return to fifaworldcup.com.

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Provider’s service currently provides users with access to a rich collection of on-line resources, including, without limitation, specialized content and activities, shopping services and branded programming through FIFAworldcup.com (the "Service"). A key element of the Services is that it will change to allow new features to augment or enhance the current Service. The Service is provided "AS IS" and the Service does not include a guarantee of the timeliness, accuracy, deletion or failure of the Content or Service.

There are limits on the capacity of the Services which are set out in paragraph 11 below.

2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNET ACCESS
In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service and/or telephony fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device.

3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS AND SUPERVISING CHILDREN
Certain areas of the Service will require registration. In consideration of your use of these areas of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form (such information being the "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 Provider has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Provider has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of all or any part of the Service. Provider is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, parents who wish to allow their children access to the Service should assist them in setting up any relevant accounts and supervise their access to the Service. By allowing your child access to the Service, he or she will be able to access all of the Service, which may now or in the future include public and private communication tools as well as other features that may not be appropriate for use by children unsupervised. 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 in Section 6 below) are appropriate for your child.
