Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Mania Entertainment properties, shall be subject to the TOU. You understand and agree that the Service is provided 'AS-IS' and that Mania Entertainment assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service and that access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service. Please be aware that Mania Entertainment has created certain areas on the Service that contain adult or mature content. You must be at least 18 years of age to access and view such areas. 3. YOUR REGISTRATION 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 Mania Entertainment has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Mania Entertainment 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). Mania Entertainment 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 Mania Entertainment Family Account. When you create a Mania Entertainment 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 Mania Entertainment Family Account. By adding a child to your Mania Entertainment 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).
