1. Definitions.
"NASCAR.COM" is the interactive on-line service operated by Turner Sports Interactive, Inc. ("TSI") on behalf of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc. ("NASCAR") on the World Wide Web of the Internet, consisting of information services and content provided by TSI, NASCAR, affiliates of TSI and NASCAR and other third parties. "Subscriber" means each person who establishes or accesses a connection ("Account") for access to and use of NASCAR.COM.

2. General.
(A) This Agreement, which incorporates by reference other provisions applicable to use of NASCAR.COM, 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 NASCAR.COM, sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to use of NASCAR.COM by Subscriber. By using NASCAR.COM (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 NASCAR.COM 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.

(B) TSI and NASCAR shall have the right at any time to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of NASCAR.COM, including, but not limited to, content, hours of availability, and equipment needed for access or use.

3. Changed Terms.
TSI and NASCAR shall have the right at any time to change or modify the terms and conditions applicable to Subscriber's use of NASCAR.COM, 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 NASCAR.COM, or by electronic or conventional mail, or by any other means by which Subscriber obtains notice thereof. Any use of NASCAR.COM by Subscriber after such notice shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by Subscriber of such changes, modifications or additions.

5. Subscriber Conduct.
(A) Subscriber shall use NASCAR.COM for lawful purposes only. Subscriber shall not post or transmit through NASCAR.COM 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 TSI's express prior approval, contains advertising or any solicitation with respect to products or services. Any conduct by a Subscriber that in TSI's discretion restricts or inhibits any other Subscriber from using or enjoying NASCAR.COM will not be permitted. Subscriber shall not use NASCAR.COM 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 with NASCAR.COM.

(B) NASCAR.COM contains copyrighted material, trademarks and other proprietary information, including, but not limited to, text, software, photos, video, graphics, music and sound, and the entire contents of NASCAR.COM are copyrighted as a collective work under the United States copyright laws. NASCAR and TSI own a copyright in the selection, coordination, arrangement and enhancement of such content, as well 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 may download copyrighted material for Subscriber's personal use only. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under copyright law, no copying, redistribution, retransmission, publication or commercial exploitation of downloaded material will be permitted without the express permission of TSI and the copyright owner. In the event of any 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 NASCAR.COM any material protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary right without the express permission of the owner of the copyright, trademark or other proprietary right and the burden of determining that any material is not protected by copyright rests 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 NASCAR.COM, Subscriber automatically grants, or warrants that the owner of such material has expressly granted TSI and NASCAR the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate and distribute such material (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media or technology now known or hereafter developed for the full term of any copyright that may exist in such material. Subscriber also permits any other Subscriber to access, view, store or reproduce the material for that Subscriber's personal use. Subscriber hereby grants TSI and NASCAR the right to edit, copy, publish and distribute any material made available on NASCAR.COM by Subscriber.

(D) The foregoing provisions of Section 5 are for the benefit of TSI, NASCAR and each of their respective subsidiaries, parent companies, affiliates and third party content providers and licensors and each shall have the right to assert and enforce such provisions directly or on its own behalf.

11. Third Party Content.
TSI is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content supplied by third parties and Subscribers. Accordingly, TSI has no more editorial control over such content 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 NASCAR.COM, are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of TSI. Neither TSI 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 NASCAR.COM represents the opinions and judgments of the respective information provider, Subscriber, or other user not under contract with TSI. TSI or NASCAR neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice or statement made on NASCAR.COM by anyone other than authorized TSI or NASCAR employee spokespersons while acting in their official capacities. Under no circumstances will TSI or NASCAR be liable for any loss or damage caused by a Subscriber's reliance on information obtained through NASCAR.COM. It is the responsibility of Subscriber to evaluate the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice or other content available through NASCAR.COM. 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 NASCAR.COM established by TSI and NASCAR 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.

13. Copyrights and Copyright Agent.
TSI and NASCAR respect the rights of all copyright holders and in this regard, TSI and NASCAR have adopted and implemented a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and account holders who infringe the rights of copyright holders.
