Please frequently visit this page and review any changes in the terms and conditions of Membership.

1. Description of Service. Ipiya currently provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including, banner exchange program, site booster program, and web based FTP program (the "Service"). You also understand and agree that the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for Ipiya to provide the Service. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Ipiya properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that Ipiya assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

2. Membership Criteria & Obligations. In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Ipiya has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Ipiya has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). Ipiya is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, parents of children under the age of 13 who wish to allow their children access to the Service must create a Ipiya Family Account. When you create a Ipiya Family Account and add your child to the account, you certify that you are at least 18 years old and that you are the legal guardian of the child/children listed on the Ipiya Family Account. By adding a child to your Ipiya 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) are appropriate for your child.

3. Member Account, Password, and Security. You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the Service's registration process.

Ipiya cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 3.
