  • MY.COM Terms of Service
    Welcome to MY.COM, an online community that connects people through communicating, sharing, and making new friends. The MY.COM services are operated by My Acquisition Corporation, a New York corporation. By using the MY.COM website ("the Website"), you agree to be bound by these terms of service. In addition, if you wish to become a MY.COM Member, and access MY.COM Member services ("the Services"), you must read the Agreement ("the Agreement"), and indicate your acceptance of the terms of the Agreement by following the instructions on the registration page, and checking the box on that page indicating that you have read the Agreement, and agree to its terms.

    Some sections of the Agreement modify very important rights. In those sections, the text is written in all capital letters. As you review the Agreement, please pay particular attention to those sections in all capital letters.
    1. This Agreement
    The following sections describe the basic parameters of the Agreement, including requirements for eligibility to use the Website and the Services, modification of the Agreement, termination of the Agreement, and how MY.COM gives notice of changes to the Agreement. The Agreement was last modified on March 25, 2008.
    1.1. The Agreement
    This Terms of Service Agreement ("the Agreement") sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of the Website and the Services. By using the Website, you agree to be bound by the Agreement, whether you are a "Visitor", which means that you are simply viewing the Website with an internet browser or other software, or you are a "Member", meaning you have registered with MY.COM for one or more of the Services. The term "User" shall refer to both Visitors and Members. You are only authorized to use the Website, whether such use is intentional or not, if you agree to abide by the Agreement and all other applicable laws. Please read the Agreement carefully and save it. If you do not agree with it, you should leave the Website immediately, and discontinue use of it.
    1.2. Eligibility
    You must be eighteen (18) years old or older to use the Website, register as a Member, or access any of the Services. Use of the Website, and Membership in the MY.COM service, is void where it is prohibited. By agreeing to these terms, you represent that you are eighteen (18) years old or older, have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into the Agreement, and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
    1.3. Modification of the Agreement
    MY.COM may modify the Agreement from time to time and such modification will be effective upon posting on the Website. You agree to be bound to any changes to the Agreement when you use the Website after any such modification is posted. It is important that you review the Agreement regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes. The current version of the Agreement can always be viewed and printed at http://www.my.com/cms/terms
    1.4. Termination of the Agreement
    You agree that MY.COM may, without prior notice and at MY.COM's sole discretion, immediately terminate your MY.COM account and access to the Website. Cause for such termination may include, but is not limited to:

    (a) breaches or violations of the Agreement or other incorporated agreements or guidelines;
    (b) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies;
    (c) at your request;
    (d) discontinuance or material modification to the Website or any portion thereof;
    (e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems;
    (f) extended periods of account inactivity;
    (g) your engagement in fraudulent or illegal activities, whether related to your use of the Website or not; or
    (h) nonpayment of any fees owed by you in connection with the Website or the Services.

    If MY.COM terminates your Membership, MY.COM may take the following actions:

    (a) removal of access to all offerings within the Website or the Services;
    (b) deletion of your password and all related information, files and Content
          associated with or inside your account; and
    (c) barring of further use of the Website or the Services.

    MY.COM's failure to take one of these actions is not a waiver of its right to terminate your account and does not constitute a decision that your account is not terminated. Further, you agree that MY.COM will make the decision to terminate your account at MY.COM's sole discretion, and that MY.COM will not be liable to you or to any third party for any damages resulting from termination of your account, or loss of access to the Website.
    1.5. Notices
    MY.COM may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Agreement, at MY.COM's sole discretion, in any manner MY.COM decides, including, but not limited to, posting to the Website, email or regular mail.
    2. Your Obligations

By using the Website, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into the Agreement and will abide by the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

    To the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate MY.COM's intellectual property rights, however, MY.COM may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the state of Virginia, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

    The arbitration will be held in Virginia before one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a dispute as a class action. You also expressly waive your right to a jury trial. You may select one of the following arbitration organizations and its applicable rules: the National Arbitration Forum, Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405-0191 (www.arb-forum.com), or JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center Suite 1100 San Francisco, CA 94111 (www.jamsadr.com).

    If you fail to select an arbitration organization within 30 days after notice from MY.COM, MY.COM may select the organization. You may obtain a copy of the rules of each organization by contacting the organization. In the event that any Claim cannot be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of any such organization, such event shall not affect the enforceability of this clause so long as the Claim may be submitted to binding arbitration with one of the organizations. You and MY.COM shall agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration and the arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless such fees are awarded by the arbitrator to the prevailing party.
    10.2. Arbitration Final
    The arbitrator's award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. $1 et seq.), and not any state law concerning arbitration, governs all arbitration under this clause. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. If any part of this clause, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the waiver of class action rights contained herein is not enforceable as to any person or persons, the provisions of Section 11.2 of these Terms of Service shall apply to such person or persons only, and all other persons shall continue to be governed by the Arbitration Clause.
    10.3. No Class Action
    These Terms of Service provide that all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court or by jury trial. IF A CLAIM IS ARBITRATED, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE COMPANY INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES GIVING UP YOUR RIGHTS TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS SET FORTH IN ANY STATE STATUTE.
    11. Governance
    This section includes several important clauses governing the interpretation of the contract, where and under what law disputes may be adjudicated, and other important aspect of the governance of the Agreement.
    11.1. Entire Agreement
    This Agreement constitutes the final agreement between you and MY.COM. It is the complete and exclusive expression of your agreement on the matters contained herein. All prior and contemporaneous negotiations and agreements between you and MY.COM on matters contained in the Agreement are expressly merged into and superseded by the Agreement. The provisions of the Agreement may not be explained, supplemented or qualified through evidence of trade usage or a prior course of dealings. In entering into the Agreement, neither you nor MY.COM has relied upon any statement, representation, warranty or agreement of the other party except for those expressly contained in the Agreement. THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
    11.2. Choice of Law, Forum, and Venue
    THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES, GOVERN ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS IT CONTEMPLETES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, AND ENFORCEMENT.

    You have agreed in Section 10 to submit to binding arbitration. However, if Section 10 is found not to have legal affect by any court with jurisdiction over the Agreement, jurisdiction over actions arising out of or related to the Agreement, and jurisdiction over MY.COM, then if you bring a legal action or proceeding against MY.COM arising out of or related to the Agreement, you agree that you may only bring such action or proceeding in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, or in any court of the Commonwealth of Virginia sitting in Fairfax County, Arlington County, or the City of Alexandria.
    11.3. Severability and Waiver
    MY.COM's failure to exercise or enforce any right granted in the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

    If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you nonetheless agree that such court should endeavor to give full effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in such provision, and you agree that other provisions of the Agreement remain in full effect.
    11.4. No Agency
    This Agreement creates no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship between you and MY.COM, and intends no such relationship.
    11.5. Survival
    Sections 9, 10, and 11 will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.
    11.6. Claim Time Limitation
    You agree that regardless of any law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Website, or the Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arises or be forever barred.
    11.7. Captions Not Binding
    The captions and numbering of the Agreement are a convenience only and have no legal effect.
