Blogger.com ("Blogger"), owned and operated by Pyra.com, Ltd. ("Pyra"), is provided to
you ("Member") under the terms and conditions of this Blogger Terms of Service (BTS)
and any operating rules or policies that may be published by Pyra. The BTS comprises
the entire agreement between Member and Blogger and supersedes all prior agreements
between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein. BY COMPLETING
THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, YOU ARE INDICATING YOUR AGREEMENT
TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BTS.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE Blogger provides Member with various publishing and
community services, including but not limited to the capability to post information to a
web page and participate in web-based discussions. Some of these services will be free of
charge, others may cost money or have other requirements. The requirements or fees for
any service or option will be clearly explained and separately agreed to when Member
implements those options, if any. Member must: (1) provide all equipment, including a
computer and modem, necessary to establish a connection to the World Wide Web; (2)
provide for own access to the World Wide Web and pay any telephone service fees
associated with such access.
3. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS OF SERVICE Pyra may change the terms and
conditions of the BTS from time to time. Upon major changes in the terms and conditions
of the BTS, Pyra will notify you by posting the changes as a start-up screen prior to your
subsequent use of the Service. If you agree to be bound by the changes, you must again
click the "I Accept" button that will follow the posted changes. If you do not click the "I
Accept" button, you may terminate your use of the Service at that time. Minor changes in
the terms and conditions of the BTS will be posted to Blogger News at

Member of the BTS and BTS modifications; and (2) agreement by Member to abide and
be bound by the BTS and BTS modifications.

5. PRIVACY POLICY All information entered into Blogger by Member is private to
Member except to the extent that he or she opts to share that information with other
Blogger members and/or the public, though Blogger or otherwise.
It is Pyra's policy to respect the privacy of Members. Therefore, Pyra will not disclose to
any third party Member's name or contact information. Pyra will also not monitor, edit, or
disclose the contents of a Member's information unless required to do so by law or in the

Pyra; or (3) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of BTS
members or the public; (4) fix or debug problems with the Blogger software/service.

infringement of third party intellectual property rights arising therefrom or any crime
facilitated thereby.

of the Service, you shall receive a password and an account. You are entirely responsible
if you do not maintain the confidentiality of your password and account. Furthermore,
you are entirely responsible for any and all activities which occur under your account.
You may change your password at any time (to do so, go to the team area of any blog you
are a member of, click on your name and then "edit profile"); you may also set up a new
account and close an old one at your convenience.
Member agrees to immediately notify Pyra of any unauthorized use of Member's account
or any other breach of security known to Member.

the express consent of Pyra. (Note: Setting up Blogger blogs for clients to update their
web pages and charging for your time is fine.)
11. STORAGE AND OTHER LIMITATIONS Pyra assumes no responsibility for the
deletion or failure to store information entered into Blogger.
Pyra has set no fixed upper limit on the number or posts Member may send or receive
through the Service or the amount of storage spaced used; however, Pyra retains the right,
at Pyra's sole discretion, to determine whether or not Member's conduct is consistent with
the letter and spirit of the BTS and may terminate Service if a Member's conduct is found
to be inconsistent with the BTS.
4. 12. MEMBER CONDUCT Member is solely responsible for the contents of his or her

applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations.
Member agrees: (1) to comply with US law regarding the transmission of technical data
exported from the United States through the Service; (2) not to use the Service for illegal
purposes; (3) not to interfere or disrupt networks connected to the Service; and (4) to
comply with all regulations, policies and procedures of networks connected to the
Service.
The Service makes use of the Internet to send and receive certain messages; therefore,
Member's conduct is subject to Internet regulations, policies and procedures. Member
will not use the Service for chain letters, junk mail, spamming or any use of distribution
lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a
process.
Member agrees not to transmit through the Service any unlawful, harassing, libelous,
abusive, threatening, or harmful material of any kind or nature. Member further agrees
not to transmit any material 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. Attempts to gain unauthorized access to other
computer systems are prohibited.
Member shall not interfere with another Member's use and enjoyment of the Service or
another entity's use and enjoyment of similar services.
Pyra may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate Service should Member's conduct
fail to conform with these terms and conditions of the BTS.
13. INDEMNIFICATION Member agrees to indemnify and hold Pyra, parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and employees, harmless from any claim or demand,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of
Member's use of the Service, the violation of this BTS by Member, or the infringement
by Member, or other user of the Service using Member's computer, of any intellectual
property or other right of any person or entity.
14. TERMINATION Either Member or Pyra may terminate the Service with or without
cause at any time and effective immediately. Pyra shall not be liable to Member or any
third party for termination of Service.
Should Member object to any terms and conditions of the BTS or any subsequent
modifications thereto or become dissatisfied with the Service in any way, Member's only
recourse is to immediately discontinue use of the Service.
5. Upon termination of the Service, Member's right to use the Service and Software
immediately ceases. Member shall have no right and Pyra will have no obligation
thereafter to forward any unread or unsent messages to Member or any third party.
15. NOTICE All notices to a party shall be in writing and shall be made either via email
or conventional mail. Pyra may broadcast notices or messages through the Service to
inform Member of changes to the BTS, the Service, or other matters of importance; such
broadcasts shall constitute notice to Member.
16. PARTICIPATION IN PROMOTIONS OF ADVERTISERS Member may enter into
correspondence with or participate in promotions of the Advertisers showing their
products on the Service. Any such correspondence or promotions, including the delivery
of and the payment for goods and services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or
representations associated with such correspondence or promotions, are solely between
the corresponding Member and the Advertiser. Pyra assumes no liability, obligation or
responsibility for any part of any such correspondence or promotion.
17. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS TO CONTENT Member acknowledges that content,
including but not limited to text, software, music, sound, photographs, video, graphics or
other material contained in either sponsor advertisements or email-distributed,
commercially produced information presented to Member by the Service ("Content") by
Pyra or Pyra's Advertisers, is protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents
or other proprietary rights and laws; therefore, Member is only permitted to use this
Content as expressly authorized by the Service or the Advertiser. Member may not copy,
reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from this Content without expressly
being authorized to do so by the Service or the Advertiser.
18. LAWS The BTS shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the state of California, excluding BTS conflict of law provisions.
Member and Pyra agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of
California. If any provision(s) of the BTS is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be contrary to law, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to
reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and
effect.
Pyra's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the BTS shall not constitute
a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Pyra in writing.
Member and Pyra agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to this Service
must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause
of action is permanently barred. The section titles in the BTS are solely used for the
convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.
Terms of Service for Blogspot.com
6. Blog*Spot is an optional hosting service for Blogger-powered blogs. If the Blog*Spot
option is selected, the following terms also apply:
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS Welcome to Pyra's BlogSpot. Pyra.com Ltd. ("Pyra")
provides the BlogSpot service to you, subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"),
which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you; provided that, we
will not alter Section 5 ("Content Submitted to BlogSpot") without prior notice to and
acceptance by you. You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time at:
http://www.blogspot.com/tos.html. Please note that other Pyra services (like Blogger) are
governed by a different Terms of Service.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE BlogSpot currently provides users with access to web
page hosting services, specifically for Blogger-powered web pages (the "Service").
(Blogger is a separate service of Pyra which does not require BlogSpot. BlogSpot is
provided simply as a convenience for Blogger users who don't already have a place to put
the Blogger-powered site.) Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that
augment or enhance the current Service, shall be subject to this TOS. Now, this next part
seems really damn obvious, but everyone else has it in their TOS's so someone's probably
gotten sued for not having it. So: In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to
the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content,
and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all
equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a
computer and modem or other access device.

information unless required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
Pyra; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Pyra; or (3) act under exigent
circumstances to protect the personal safety of Pyra service's users or the public; (4) fix
or debug problems with the BlogSpot servers/software/service.
4. MEMBER CONDUCT You understand that all information, data, text, software,
music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other materials ("Content"),

from which such Content originated. This means that you, and not Pyra, are entirely
responsible for all Content that you upload, post or otherwise transmit via the Service.

otherwise objectionable; (b) harm minors in any way; (c) impersonate any person or
7. entity, including, but not limited to, a Pyra official, forum leader, guide or host, or falsely
state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity; (d) upload, post or
otherwise transmit any Content that you do not have a right to transmit under any law or
under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and
confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or
under nondisclosure agreements); (e) upload, post or otherwise transmit any Content that
infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any
party; (f) upload, post or otherwise transmit any material that contains software viruses or
any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the

exchange, including, without limitation, the New York Stock Exchange, the American
Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ, and any regulations having the force of law; (i) "stalk"
or otherwise harass another; (j) collect or store personal data about other users; (k)
promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities, promote physical
harm or injury against any group or individual, or promote any act of cruelty to animals.
This may include, but is not limited to, providing instructions on how to assemble bombs,
grenades and other weapons, and creating "Crush" sites;
5. CONTENT SUBMITTED TO BlogSpot
Pyra does not claim ownership of the Content you place on your BlogSpot Site. Pyra may
quote or reproduce small portions of your content (if you have made it public) in order to
promote your BlogSpot site and/or the BlogSpot service, but only on a fair-use-type
basis.
You acknowledge that Pyra does not pre-screen Content, but that Pyra and its designees
shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or remove
any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Pyra and its
designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is
otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated

violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another.
7. NO RESALE OF SERVICE You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or
exploit any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service.

time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part
thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Pyra shall not be liable to you or to any
third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
9. TERMINATION You agree that Pyra, in its sole discretion, may terminate your
password, BlogSpot Site, use of the Service or use of any other Pyra service, and remove
and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation,
for lack of use or if Pyra believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the
letter or spirit of the TOS. Pyra may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue
providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any
termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this TOS may be
effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Pyra may immediately
deactivate or delete your BlogSpot Site and all related information and files in your
BlogSpot Site and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you
agree that Pyra shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your
access to the Service.
The following point (#10) does not apply if you opt for ad-free hosting, BlogSpot Plus 25
or Plus 100 service.
10. ADVERTISEMENTS AND PROMOTIONS Pyra runs advertisements and
promotions on BlogSpot Sites. By creating your BlogSpot Site, you agree that Pyra has
the right to run such advertisements and promotions. You also agree that you will not
attempt to block or otherwise interfere with advertisements displayed on your BlogSpot
site via JavaScript or any other means. Doing so is grounds for immediate termination of
service. The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Pyra on your BlogSpot Site is
subject to change. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in
promotions of, advertisers found on or through the Service, including payment and
delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or

necessary software used in connection with the Service ("Software") contain proprietary

and laws. Except as expressly authorized by Pyra or advertisers, you agree not to modify,
rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute or create derivative works based on the Service or the
Software, in whole or in part.
