MyNGE.com Terms of Use Agreement

February 28, 2008

MyNGE, (“MyNGE” or “we”) operates MyNGE.com, which is a social networking service that allows Members to create unique personal profiles online in order to find and communicate with old and new friends.  The services offered by MyNGE include any MyNGE-branded URL (the "MyNGE Website"), the MyNGE instant messaging service, the MyNGE application developer service and other features (for example, music and video embedded players), MyNGE mobile services, and any other features, content, or applications offered from time to time by MyNGE in connection with MyNGE’s business (collectively, the "MyNGE Services").  The MyNGE Services are hosted in the United States.

This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of the MyNGE Services.  By using the MyNGE Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a "Visitor" (which means that you simply browse the MyNGE Website, including through a mobile device, or otherwise use the MyNGE Services without being registered) or you are a "Member" (which means that you have registered with MyNGE).  The term "User" refers to a Visitor or a Member. You are only authorized to use the MyNGE Services (regardless of whether your access or use is intended) if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement. Please read this Agreement and save it.  If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement and to follow all applicable laws, you should leave the MyNGE Website and discontinue use of the MyNGE Services immediately.  If you wish to become a Member, communicate with other Members and/or make use of the MyNGE Services, you must read this Agreement and indicate your acceptance during the registration process.

This Agreement includes MyNGE's policy for acceptable use of the MyNGE Services and Content (as defined in Section 6.1 below) posted on or through the MyNGE Services and your rights, obligations and restrictions regarding your use of the MyNGE Services and Content posted on or through the MyNGE Services.  In order to participate in certain MyNGE Services, you may be notified that you are required to download software or content and/or agree to additional terms and conditions from MyNGE.  Unless otherwise provided by the additional terms and conditions applicable to the MyNGE Services in which you choose to participate, those additional terms are hereby incorporated into this Agreement.  You may receive a copy of this Agreement by emailing us at: admin@MyNGE.com, Subject: Terms of Use Agreement.

MyNGE may modify this Agreement from time to time and such modification shall be effective upon posting by MyNGE on the MyNGE Website.  Your continued use of the MyNGE Services after MyNGE posts a revised Agreement signifies your acceptance of the revised Agreement.  It is therefore important that you review this Agreement regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes.

Please choose carefully the information you post on or through the MyNGE Services and that you provide to other Users.  Your MyNGE profile may not include any form of Prohibited Content, as outlined in Section 8 below.  Despite this prohibition, information, materials, products or services provided by other MyNGE Members (for instance, in their profile) may, in whole or in part, be unauthorized, impermissible or otherwise violate this Agreement, and MyNGE assumes no responsibility or liability for this material.  If you become aware of misuse of the MyNGE Services by any person, please click on the "Contact MyNGE” or the “Report Abuse” link at the bottom of the MyNGE Website pages.

MyNGE reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any posting (including private messages) by you, or to deny, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the MyNGE Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice or explanation, and without liability.  MyNGE expressly reserves the right to remove your profile and/or deny, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the MyNGE Services if MyNGE determines, in its sole discretion, that you have violated this Agreement or pose a threat to MyNGE and/or its Users.

2.   Term. This Agreement, and any posted revision to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect while you use the MyNGE Services or are a Member.  You may terminate your Membership at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Member's Account Settings page.  MyNGE may terminate your Membership at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice or explanation, and without liability.  Even after Membership is terminated, this Agreement will remain in effect, including Sections 5-17.
