to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate,

to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any

safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children.
For this reason, parents of children under the age of

you will be asked to FAX a copy of such certification
to Hainesville. By adding a child to your Hainesville
Family Account, you also give your child permission
to access all of the Services including, email, message
boards, clubs, instant messages and chat (among others).
Please remember that the Service is designed to appeal
to a broad audience. Accordingly, as the legal guardian,
it is your responsibility to determine whether any of
the Services and/or Content (as defined in Section 6
below) is appropriate for your child. If you have agreed
to allow your minor child, or a child for whom you are
legal guardian (a “Minor”) to register as
a member of the Service, you agree that you shall be
solely responsible for: (a) the online conduct of such;
(b) monitoring such Minor’s access to and use
of the Service; and (c) the consequences of any use
of the Service by such Minor.

MISCELLANEOUS |
|
The validity, construction and enforceability
of this TOS shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, without regard
to its conflict of law provisions. You may not assign
any of your rights, obligations or privileges hereunder
without the prior written consent of Hainesville. Any
assignment other than as provided for in this Section
shall be null and void, ab initio. If any provision
of this TOS shall be unlawful, void or for any reason
unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable
from this TOS and shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions. The TOS
shall constitute the entire understanding between you
and Hainesville with respect to the subject matter,
superseding any prior and contemporaneous understandings,
whether express or implied, pertaining thereto and cannot
be modified, amended, superseded or rescinded, except
as agreed to in writing by both parties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, you also may be subject to additional
terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate
services, third party content or third party software.
The failure of Hainesville to exercise or enforce any
right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a
waiver of such right or provision. Headings in the TOS
are for reference purposes only and in no way define,
limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such
section.

29. |
ARBITRATION |
|
Any controversy or claim arising out
of or relating to this TOS or our Service, shall be
settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association. Any such controversy or claim shall be
arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be
consolidated in any arbitration with any controversy
or claim of any other party. The arbitration shall be
conducted in Los Angeles, California, and judgment of
the arbitration award may be entered into any court
having jurisdiction thereof. Either you or Hainesville
may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court
of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles, California
necessary to protect the rights or property of you or
Hainesville pending the completion of the arbitration.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to
the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out
of or related to use of the Service or the TOS must
