Web Measurement services B.V. / Webstats4U
GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE,
Webstats4U is a Website audience measurement software, owned and
produced by Web Measurement Services B.V.. and its subsidiary and affiliate
corporations, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as
"WMS"). By registering to be a member of WMS and to use any WMS
Service, you are agreeing to the following Terms of Service. In addition, there
are a variety of special Products and Services offered through WMS that can have
separate registration procedures and separate terms and conditions, terms of
service, user agreements, or similar legal agreement. When you are using any
WMS service or product that does not have a separate legal agreement, the Terms
of Service set forth here will apply. Additionally, even if another WMS
service or product has separate terms and conditions, terms of service, user
agreement, or similar legal agreement, these Terms and conditions will also
apply to the use of that service or product. WMS also may supplement the Terms
of Service with additional posted guidelines or rules. These Terms of Service
may be amended from time to time without any notice to yourself. You can view
the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time by visiting: webstats4U.com/terms.
Please review these Terms of Service from time to time so you will be apprised
of any changes.
WMS may also offer other services from time to time that may be governed
by the terms of service of the respective service partners.
Because the Terms of Service contain legal obligations, please read them
carefully. Failure to comply will result in account termination and will
subject you to further legal liability.
