The Blogware Terms of Service ("TOS") and Conditions Agreement is between you ("Publisher") and FullScaleCommerce.com Inc of Jamestown Rhode Island 02835 ("FSC") ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

FSC provides the Blogware service (the "Service"). As a Blogware account holder ("Publisher"), your use of the Service is subject to these Terms of Service ("TOS"). FSC reserves the right to update and change the TOS from time to time without notice or acceptance by you. You will also be subject to any posted guidelines or policies which may be posted from time to time and are hereby incorporated by reference.

FSC provides each Publisher with a web site Internet ("Blogware"). Each Blog Site has a limited disk space based on the type of account purchased. The Service also includes tools that enable Publishers to create a business news page, upload photos, expert articles, comment, receive and syndicate newsfeeds etc. The type and number of tools you may use depend on the type of account you have as a Publisher. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the TOS. In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device. You understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from FSC, such as service announcements and administrative messages and that these communications are considered part of FSC's membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interfaces that are provided for use in accessing the Service. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "as-is" and that FSC assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications.

Please be aware that certain areas on the Service may contain adult or mature content. You must be of legal majority to access and view such areas.

In order to use the Service, you must have a valid account ID. To be a Publisher with your own Blogware account, you must provide FSC with a credit card and other any other information it considers pertinent to establish an account ("Registration Data"). Publishers will choose a password and account designation for their Blogware during the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to

1. immediately notify FSC of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and
2. ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session.

1. provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form, and
2. maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

If you cancel the Service before the end of the term, your cancellation will take effect immediately. After cancellation, you will no longer have access to your account and all information or content associated with your account may be deleted. FSC accepts no liability for such deleted information or content.

If your credit card is invalid for any reason, the Service may be cancelled and all the information contained within deleted permanently. FSC accepts no liability for information that is deleted due to an invalid credit card.

In addition, FSC may immediately terminate the Service for your failure to follow the Agreement. Such termination of the Service may result in the deactivation or deletion of your Blogware, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content on your Blogware.

You agree that FSC may, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately terminate your access to the Service and your Blogware. Cause for such termination shall include, but not be limited to,

FSC does not claim ownership of the Content you place on your Blogware. Publishers retain the rights to any copyrighted material posted on a particular Blogware. By submitting Content to FSC for inclusion on your Blogware, you grant FSC a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your Blogware on FSC's Internet properties. This license exists only for as long as you continue to be a FSC customer and shall be terminated at the time your Blogware is terminated.
