We reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify these Terms of Service at any time by posting revised Terms of Service on the Network and by providing notice via e-mail, where possible, or on the Network.

Reasonable steps will be taken by us to minimize such disruption where it is within our reasonable control.
You agree that neither We nor the Network will be liable in any event to You or any other party for any suspension, modification, discontinuance or lack of availability of the Network, the service, any User Content, or other Content.

7. Registration and security
As a condition to using Services, Subscriber may be required to register with Us and select a password and profile name.

Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, which may result in immediate termination of Subscriber's account. Subscriber may not (a) select or use as a profile name a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; or (b) use as a profile name a name subject to any rights of a person other than Subscriber without appropriate authorization. We reserve the right to refuse registration of, or cancel a profile name in its discretion. Subscriber shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Subscriber's password. Subscriber is solely responsible for any use of or action taken under Subscriber's password and accepts full responsibility for all activity conducted through Subscriber's account and agrees to and hereby releases the Network and Us from any and all liability concerning such activity.
