PARENTAL CONSENT
Under the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), parental consent is required for the online collection, use and/or disclosure of personal information obtained from a child under the age of thirteen (13).
As part of the registration process for the Website, and in compliance with the regulations set out by COPPA, if you are under 13, We ask you to provide Us with the e-mail address of a parent or legal guardian for notification purposes.
Please refer to Our Privacy Policy for further information.
PARENTAL NOTICE
It is important to talk with your child about using the Internet safely. Here are just a few things to keep in mind:
- Remind your child to never give out his or her full name, address or phone number or any other information that would enable someone to locate, contact or identify him or her, without your permission. Help your child make up creative and unique user names and passwords and advise him or her to keep all passwords secret.
- Tell your child to let you know if he or she feels uncomfortable about something another user has said or done.
- Impress upon your child the importance of never engaging in a communication or activity that would put him or her at risk.
ACCESS AND SECURITY
To access this Website or some of the services it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Website that all the information you provide will be correct, current and complete. If We believe the information you have provided is not correct, current or complete, We have the right to refuse you access to this Website or any of its services, and to terminate or suspend your access at any time.
As part of the registration process, you will select a Password and a User Name, to create a new user account (the "Account"). You may not (a) select or use a User Name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (b) use a name that someone else owns without having the right to use it; or (c) use a User Name that We think is inappropriate or offensive. When you create a User Name, DO NOT use your real name or any other information that may allow someone to contact, locate or identify you. Try to think of something special and different to use for your User Name and Password.
You must notify Us if you know of or suspect any unauthorized use(s) of your Account, or if you know of or suspect any breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your Password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Password. We reserve the right to terminate your Account immediately if We believe that there has been any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity regarding your Account, and We may report that kind of activity to appropriate law-enforcement agencies.
If you have reason to believe that your Account is no longer secure (for example, if there has been a loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of your User Name, or Password), you must change your Password as soon as possible and tell Us about the problem.
CANCELLATION
You may notify Us that you wish to cancel your Account at any time.
If, at any time, We believe that you have violated any of these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy or the Code of Conduct, We have the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Website and your Account without notice. If We do that, We will not have any further obligation to you and you will not be able to access the Website. We reserve the right to suspend any Account that has been inactive for six (6) months or more. If your account has been suspended for inactivity, you may reactivate it.
