DISCONTINUATION

Viba Fima may modify or discontinue the Vibary and related web sites with or without notice to you and without liability to you or any third party.


ACCEPTANCE OF PERSONAL MEMBERSHIP USE

Submitting your username and password subsequent to your membership registration, is indication of your agreement to be bound by the terms of this ToU, including later modifications to the ToU as they occur from time to time.

Personal membership allows you to save listings such as coupons or jobs into your personal portfolios maintained online by the Vibary. It does not allow you publish on the Vibary for others to see. For this, you need the Community Membership.

PRIVACY FOR PERSONAL MEMBERSHIP

Registering for Vibary membership requires you to provide the following private information: (1) your email address. You will also be asked to select a username and password that will be associated with your membership. For information on how we treat the privacy of your information, please read our Privacy Policy.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR USERNAME and PASSWORD

You agree that you will not use inappropriate name (s) of any kind when requesting your Vibary membership.

As a Vibary member, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. If you use a shared computer to sign in to the Vibary, you must use the log-off facility in order to prevent unauthorized access to your membership by others that use the same computer. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your membership and will immediately notify the Vibary of any unauthorized use of your membership.

AGE POLICY

Viba Fima does not encourage, solicit, nor extend Vibary membership to persons under the age of 13 years. A Vibary member must submit an email address, which can be viewed as PRIVATE information. The collection of such private information may be prohibited under federal or state laws without the explicit consent of a parent or guardian. Acquiring such consent is beyond the capability of the Vibary Network.

YOUR RIGHT TO TERMINATE MEMBERSHIP

You have the right to terminate your Vibary membership at any time. Please read Membership Cancellation.

OUR REMEDIES FOR YOUR BREACH OF TERMS

ACCEPTANCE OF COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP USE

As a Community membership, you can publish on the Vibary for others to see. (On the other hand, the Personal membership only allows you to "publish" saved contents into your Vibary portfolios for you to see only.) Publication includes such acts as contributing to the discussion forums, creating classified ads, writing reviews, among other similar activities.

You agree that you are responsible for the content of your publications, and the consequences of any such publications. The Vibary only acts as a conduit for your publications and does not review them beforehand.

You further agree not to use the Vibary to publish any material that is unlawful, harassing, libelous, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, racially offensive, knowingly inaccurate, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature or that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation, or encourage the use of controlled substances. Viba Fima reserves the right (but not the obligation) to delete any such material from the Vibary but does not regularly review posted content.

You agree that you will not impersonate any other person or entity, whether actual or fictitious, including impersonating an employee or consultant of Viba Fima, you also may not use false e-mail addresses, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of messages or other content.

You agree that you will not use the Vibary subscriber base for distributing chain letters, spreading viruses, junk mailings, 'spamming' attacks, mass solicitations (commercial or non-commercial) or unauthorized bulk communications of any kind including but not limited to distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a list. Use by you for these unauthorized communication purposes is prohibited and shall be deemed a violation of these Terms of Usage.

You agree that you will not post or use the Vibary to distribute or send any illegal material of any kind, including but not limited to, illegal material in the form of text, graphics, video, programs or audio. Posting content or participating in any form of discussion with the intention to commit any illegal activity is strictly prohibited. Viba Fima will cooperate fully with any law enforcement officials and/or agencies in the investigation of any person or persons who violate these Terms of Usage.

RIGHT TO PUBLISH THIRD-PARTY CONTENTS

You acknowledge that (i) some content is protected by copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual and proprietary rights ("Rights"); (ii) you may not publish to the Vibary, copy, reproduce, retransmit, distribute, publish, commercially exploit or otherwise transfer any material subject to any Rights. You have the burden of determining that any information, software, images or any other content transferred to the Vibary is not protected by Rights. You represent and warrant that you either own or otherwise control all of the Rights to the content that you publish; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity. You also warrant that the holder of any Rights, including moral rights in such content, has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly and irrevocably granted to you the right to grant the license stated above.

You agree that you will indemnify Viba Fima or its affiliates for all claims resulting from Rights to content you supply.

You also permit any subscriber to access, display, view, store and reproduce such content for personal use. Subject to the foregoing, the owner of such content placed on the Vibary retains any and all Rights that may exist in such content.
