You agree that your use of our services, whether from mobile devices, the Applications or the Internet, are governed by the terms located at http://legal.aol.com/terms-of-service/full-terms/. By using these services, you agree to the terms.
8. ACCESS. You must provide at your own expense the equipment, Internet connections and wireless devices or wireless services to access and use the Applications and the products associated with such Applications. We do not guarantee that the Applications will work with all wireless devices or wireless service plans, at all times, or in all geographic locations. When you use the Applications, you may incur certain charges from your wireless carrier according to the terms of your carrier agreement, including without limitation, standard fees for data, messaging and wireless access, SMS and MMS messaging services. Please check with your carrier to verify whether there are any such fees that may apply to you. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COSTS YOU INCUR TO ACCESS OR USE THE APPLICATIONS THROUGH YOUR WIRELESS DEVICE.
You acknowledge that the Applications may provide features that include instant messaging, status updates of your contacts, posts, alerts, reminders, updates, instant messaging preferences, messaging communications and location. You authorize us to communicate with you regarding the Applications using SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your device. You acknowledge and agree that information about your usage of the Applications may be communicated to us by third parties, including without limitation your wireless carrier. You agree to receive messages from the Applications on any or all configured devices. When you access the Applications on your device, we may obtain information from your wireless carrier about the type of device you are using. We may use this information to notify you concerning the types of features and products from the Applications that may be available to you on your device. Certain features of the Applications may require our collection of the phone number of your device. We may associate that phone number to the mobile device identification information; however, we will not use that number for telemarketing. Some wireless carriers in the USA and other jurisdictions may be required to operate a system that will pinpoint the physical location of devices that use their service. Depending on the provider, we may automatically receive this information and you consent to any such disclosure.
If you
elect to use certain location or pinpoint based services (such as, GPS assisted
navigation instruction, wireless tower location, triangulation or other
available location technologies), we must periodically receive your location in
order to provide such location-based services to you. By using the
Applications’ location based services, you authorize us to: (a) locate your
hardware; (b) record, compile and display your location; and (c) publish your
location to third parties designated by you by means of location publication
controls available within the Applications (e.g., settings, user
preferences). As part of the Applications, we may also collect and store
certain information about our users, such as, users' wireless mobile subscriber
ISDN and/or IMEI numbers (as applicable) and users' network access identifier
information. This information will be used to provide you the services accessed
through the Applications. We may use third party providers to help provide
services through mobile systems and such providers may use the information in
accordance with our Privacy Policy located at: http://privacy.aol.com/privacy-policy/.
Certain services offered through the Applications may allow you to adjust your
privacy settings; please review any information or FAQ area that accompanies
such application for more details and instructions.
9. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. You are responsible for:
(a) All activities that occur as a result of the use of the Applications through your User ID and devices;
(b) Maintaining the confidentiality of any User ID, passwords or log-in credentials;
(c) Taking reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to confidential information stored in your mobile phone wireless device, or other device; and
(d) Complying with this Agreement and with any and all applicable laws.
In addition, you are solely responsible for the Content that you upload, transfer, send, mail, forward, submit, share, post or otherwise provide to us (collectively referred to as “post”) using the Applications and for the consequences of posting Content where others and the general public may see the Content. This includes any personal information, such as your home address, the home address of others, or your current location in any location-based services of the Applications. Once you have posted information about yourself, your family members, friends, or anyone else, such as the location where you or others live or work, it may be difficult or impossible to control the misuse of such information by others or remove the information from the Applications or from the services of other entities if the Content is syndicated or cross-posted to other services. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RELEASE OF PRIVATE INFORMATION IN CONTENT YOU POST TO THE APPLICATIONS. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONTACT, INTERACTION, LOSS OF PRIVACY, OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY OCCUR BETWEEN YOU AND ANY OTHER USER OF THE APPLICATIONS AND OUR SERVICES OR A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC AND THAT THE ENTIRE RISK IS WITH YOU.
We reserve the right to remove, at our sole discretion, any Content posted on our products and services.
You must notify your wireless carrier immediately if your mobile phone is lost or stolen. We cannot be responsible for what happens if your account information (such as stored User IDs and passwords) becomes known to someone else.
10. SUGGESTIONS. You agree that we may, without limitation and for no compensation, use in any manner all comments, suggestions, complaints and other feedback you provide relating to the Applications.
11. YOUR REPRESENTATIONS. You represent and warrant that you have adequate legal capacity to enter into this Agreement, that you will use the Applications only for lawful purposes, that you will not violate the rights of others or the terms of this Agreement.
12. AUTOMATED UPDATES. We may, but we are under no obligation to, provide updates, patches and fixes (collectively, “Updates”). You may be given the opportunity to choose whether you want all Updates delivered automatically or if you would prefer to be notified when a new Update is ready to be installed, or when we make such Updates available for download. You authorize us to deliver automatically any Update if we believe it is necessary to provide for the continued functionality of the Applications. Your use of the Updates will be governed by this Agreement unless you are asked to agree to new or additional terms at the time of download or installation.
13. PERFORMANCE AND USAGE INFORMATION.
(a) TECHNICAL INFORMATION. Most of the Applications are configured to report back information automatically relating to computer errors arising in connection with use of the Applications, without notice to you. Information on your Applications’ configuration settings may be included. We use these data to diagnose and improve the Applications.
(b) FEATURE USAGE INFORMATION. The Applications may also provide us with anonymous information about use of the Applications’ features. We use this information in the aggregate to improve the Applications and determine which Application features and buttons are most popular and useful to its users.
(c) PERSONALIZATION. You may be asked to provide us with certain information so that we can personalize content presented to you through the Applications. For example, you may be asked for your zip code, which could be used to provide you with relevant local weather and/or news reports.
14. THIRD PARTY OFFERINGS. Your use of any third-party plug-in applications is at your own risk. We assume no responsibility for your use of such plug-ins, and we have no obligation to correct errors or provide Updates for third party applications.
15. TERMINATION. This Agreement automatically terminates if you fail to comply with any of its terms. We may terminate this Agreement and/or the License granted to you under this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion. You may discontinue use of the Applications at your discretion. Upon termination, you must stop all use of the Applications and must destroy all copies of the Applications that are in your possession. All provisions of this Agreement, except for the license grant in Section 3 above, survive the termination of this Agreement.
16. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. You agree that your breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will cause us irreparable injury for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate and that we, therefore, may obtain timely injunctive relief to protect our rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all other remedies available to us at law or in equity.
17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
WE AND OUR DISTRIBUTORS PROVIDE THE APPLICATIONS “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. WE AND OUR DISTRIBUTORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATIONS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR WILL BE ERROR-FREE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY, EFFORT AND COST OF ANY SERVICE AND REPAIR IS WITH YOU.
WE, OUR SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INTERFERENCE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ACCURACY, UNLESS SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LEGALLY INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION.
NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY US SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF ANY WARRANTY THAT CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. WE, OUR SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATIONS.
IF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY NOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THEN SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ACQUIRED THE APPLICATIONS FROM US OR OUR AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR.
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR ANY CORPORATE PARENT, SUCCESSORS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AGENTS OR DISTRIBUTORS (COLLECTIVELY, "AOL ") BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED. IN ANY CASE, OUR ENTIRE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE THE SUM OF THE FEES YOU PAID FOR THIS LICENSE (IF ANY) AND REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE MEDIA OR PROVISION OF A REASONABLY SIMILAR PRODUCT, AS DETERMINED AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS THE LIMITATION OF DAMAGES IN SUCH CASES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. AOL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF CONTENT PROVIDED BY YOU OR A THIRD PARTY THAT IS ACCESSED THROUGH THE APPLICATIONS AND/OR ANY MATERIAL LINKED THROUGH SUCH CONTENT.
19. NO SUPPORT OR UPGRADE OBLIGATIONS. You agree that you are not entitled to any support, telephone assistance, corrections, Updates, upgrades, bug fixes and/or enhancements of the Applications from us or our distributors.

YOU AGREE THAT THE AOL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE APPLICATIONS IN SUCH HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES.
22. U.S. GOVERNMENT END-USERS. The Applications are a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212 (Sept. 1995) and 48 C.F.R. § 227.7202 (June 1995).
