All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. Yahoo! may also offer other services that are governed by different Terms of Service.

You understand and agree that the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for Yahoo! to provide the Service. You understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from Yahoo!, such as service announcements and administrative messages that are considered part of the Yahoo! Membership, and that you cannot opt out of receiving them.

You are responsible for those fees, including 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.

Please be aware that Yahoo! has created certain areas on the Service that contain adult or mature content. You must have attained the age of majority in the province or territory in which you live to access such areas on the Service.

3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

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 Canada or other applicable jurisdictions. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's 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.

8. CONTENT SUBMITTED OR MADE AVAILABLE FOR INCLUSION ON THE SERVICE

Yahoo! does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant Yahoo! the following world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive license(s), as applicable:

  • With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of Yahoo! Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purposes of providing and promoting the specific Yahoo! Group to which such Content was submitted or made available. This licence exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Yahoo! removes such Content from the Service.

  • With respect to photos, graphics, audio, or video you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service other than Yahoo! Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purpose for which such Content was submitted or made available. This licence exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Yahoo! removes such Content from the Service.

  • With respect to Content other than photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service other than Yahoo! Groups, the perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other works in any format or medium now known or later developed.

"Publicly accessible" areas of the Service are those areas of the Yahoo! network of properties that are intended by Yahoo! to be available to the general public. By way of example, publicly accessible areas of the Service would include Yahoo! Message Boards and portions of Yahoo! Groups, Photos and Briefcase that are open to both members and visitors. However, publicly accessible areas of the Service would not include portions of Yahoo! Groups, Photos, and Briefcase that are limited to members or visitors, Yahoo! services intended for private communication such as Yahoo! Mail or Yahoo! Messenger, or areas off of the Yahoo! network of properties such as portions of World Wide Web sites that are accessible through hypertext or other links but are not hosted or served by Yahoo!.

9. INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold Yahoo! and its affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or 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.

10. NO RESALE OF SERVICE

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service (including the Yahoo! I.D. associated with your account), use of the Service, or access to the Service.

11. GENERAL PRACTICES REGARDING USE AND STORAGE

You acknowledge that Yahoo! may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation the maximum number of days that email messages, message board postings or other uploaded Content will be retained by the Service, the maximum number of email messages that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, the maximum size of any email message that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, the maximum disk space that will be allotted on Yahoo!'s 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 Yahoo! has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any messages and other communications or other Content maintained or transmitted by the Service. You acknowledge that Yahoo! reserves the right to log off accounts that are inactive for a certain period of time as determined by Yahoo!. You further acknowledge that Yahoo! reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice.

Yahoo! Messenger, including any web-based versions, will allow you and the people with whom you communicate to save your conversations in your Yahoo! accounts located on Yahoo! servers. This means you can access and search your message history from any computer with access to the internet. Whether or not you use this feature, other users may choose to use it to save conversations with you in their account on Yahoo! too. Your agreement to this TOS constitutes your consent to allow Yahoo! to store these communications on its servers.

12. MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE

Yahoo! reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Yahoo! will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

13. TERMINATION AND RECYCLING OF ACCOUNTS

You agree that Yahoo!, in its sole discretion, may terminate your account or any part thereof, including any associated email address or your use of the Service, and remove and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, (a) lack of use, (b) if Yahoo! believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS, (c) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (d) a request by you (self-initiated account deletions), (e) discontinuance or material modification to the Service (or any part thereof), (f) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, (g) in compliance with legal process; (h) if you have or we believe you have engaged in illegal activities, including without limitation, fraud, and/or (i) nonpayment of any fees owed by you in connection with the Services. Yahoo! may also, in its sole discretion and at any time, discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You acknowledge and agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this TOS may be effected without prior notice and that Yahoo! may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related Content (including without limitation email messages and photos)) associated with or stored in your account and/or bar any further access to such Content or the Service. Further, you agree that Yahoo! is not liable to you or any third-party for termination of your account (including any associated email address), or termination of your access to the Service.

As Yahoo! IDs and the related email addresses are the property of Yahoo!, upon termination of your account the Yahoo! I.D. or email address previously associated with your account will become available to other Yahoo! users to select as their Yahoo! I.D. While Yahoo! will take reasonable steps as described in our Privacy Policy to secure the information provided by you prior to the termination of your account, you understand and agree that it is solely your responsibility and obligation to notify others that you no longer can be contacted at a particular terminated Yahoo! I.D. or email address. You expressly acknowledge and agree that you, and not Yahoo!, are solely responsible for the receipt of correspondence erroneously directed to you at your terminated Yahoo! I.D. or email address that may now belong to another Yahoo! user.

15. LINKS

The Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other World Wide Web sites or resources. Because Yahoo! has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that Yahoo! is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. You further acknowledge and agree that Yahoo! is not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such Content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.

16. YAHOO! PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
