AMGLive.net Terms of Use Agreement
March 1, 2008
AMGLive, Inc (“AMGLive” or “we”) operates AMGLive.net, which is a social
networking service that allows Members to create unique personal profiles online
in order to find and communicate with old and new friends. The services offered
by AMGLive include any AMGLive-branded URL (the "AMGLive Websites"), the AMGLive
instant messaging service, the AMGLive application developer service and other
features (for example, music and video embedded players), AMGLive mobile
services, and any other features, content, or applications offered from time to
time by AMGLive in connection with AMGLive’s business (collectively, the
"AMGLive Services"). The AMGLive Services are hosted in the United States.
This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the legally binding terms
for your use of the AMGLive Services. By using the AMGLive Services, you agree
to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a "Visitor" (which means that you
simply browse the AMGLive Website, including through a mobile device, or
otherwise use the AMGLive Services without being registered) or you are a
"Member" (which means that you have registered with AMGLive). The term "User"
refers to a Visitor or a Member. You are only authorized to use the AMGLive
Services (regardless of whether your access or use is intended) if you agree to
abide by all applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement. Please read this
Agreement and save it. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement and to
follow all applicable laws, you should leave the AMGLive Website and discontinue
use of the AMGLive Services immediately. If you wish to become a Member,
communicate with other Members and/or make use of the AMGLive Services, you must
read this Agreement and indicate your acceptance during the registration
process.
This Agreement includes AMGLive's policy for acceptable use of the AMGLive
Services and Content (as defined in Section 6.1 below) posted on or through the
AMGLive Services and your rights, obligations and restrictions regarding your
use of the AMGLive Services and Content posted on or through the AMGLive
Services. In order to participate in certain AMGLive Services, you may be
notified that you are required to download software or content and/or agree to
additional terms and conditions from AMGLive. Unless otherwise provided by the
additional terms and conditions applicable to the AMGLive Services in which you
choose to participate, those additional terms are hereby incorporated into this
Agreement. You may receive a copy of this Agreement by emailing us at:
privacy@AMGLive.net, Subject: Terms of Use Agreement.
AMGLive may modify this Agreement from time to time and such modification shall
be effective upon posting by AMGLive on the AMGLive Website. Your continued use
of the AMGLive Services after AMGLive posts a revised Agreement signifies your
acceptance of the revised Agreement. It is therefore important that you review
this Agreement regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes.
Please choose carefully the information you post on or through the AMGLive
Services and that you provide to other Users. Your AMGLive profile may not
include any form of Prohibited Content, as outlined in Section 8 below. Despite
this prohibition, information, materials, products or services provided by other
AMGLive Members (for instance, in their profile) may, in whole or in part, be
unauthorized, impermissible or otherwise violate this Agreement, and AMGLive
assumes no responsibility or liability for this material. If you become aware
of misuse of the AMGLive Services by any person, please click on the "Contact
AMGLive” or the “Report Abuse” link at the bottom of the AMGLive Website pages.
AMGLive reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or
remove any posting (including private messages) by you, or to deny, restrict,
suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the AMGLive Services at
any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice or explanation, and
without liability. AMGLive expressly reserves the right to remove your profile
and/or deny, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of
the AMGLive Services if AMGLive determines, in its sole discretion, that you
have violated this Agreement or pose a threat to AMGLive and/or its Users.

Use by Members.
The AMGLive Services are for the personal use of Members and may be used for
promotional purposes as well, but direct commercial endeavors may only be used
if they are specifically endorsed or authorized by AMGLive. AMGLive reserves the
right to remove commercial content in its sole discretion. Illegal and/or
unauthorized use of the AMGLive Services, including collecting usernames, user
id numbers, and/or email addresses of Members by electronic or other means for
the purpose of sending unsolicited email or unauthorized framing of or linking
to the AMGLive Website, or employing third party promotional sites or software
to promote profiles for money, is prohibited. Commercial advertisements,
affiliate links, and other forms of unauthorized solicitation may be removed
from Member profiles without notice or explanation and may result in termination
of Membership privileges. AMGLive reserves the right to take appropriate legal
action for any illegal or unauthorized use of the AMGLive Services.
6.
Proprietary Rights

AMGLive does not claim

Content to the AMGLive Services, you continue to retain any such rights that you
may have in your Content, subject to the limited license herein. By displaying

hereby grant to AMGLive a limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to,
publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content
solely on or through the AMGLive Services, including without limitation
distributing part or all of the AMGLive Website in any media formats and through
any media channels, except Content marked “private” will not be distributed
outside the AMGLive Website. This limited license does not grant AMGLive the
right to sell or otherwise distribute your Content outside of the AMGLive
Services. After you remove your Content from the AMGLive Website we will cease
distribution as soon as practicable, and at such time when distribution ceases,
the license will terminate. If after we have distributed your Content outside
the AMGLive Website you change the Content’s privacy setting to “private,” we
will cease distribution of such “private” Content outside the AMGLive Website as
soon as practicable after you make the change.
6.2
The license you grant
to AMGLive is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Content to
anyone else in addition to AMGLive), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that
AMGLive is not required to pay you for the use on the AMGLive Services of the
Content that you post), sub-licensable (so that AMGLive is able to use its
affiliates, subcontractors and other partners such as Internet content delivery
networks and wireless carriers to provide the AMGLive Services), and worldwide
(because the Internet and the AMGLive Services are global in reach).
6.3
You represent and
warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on or through the AMGLive
Services or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this
Section 6, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the AMGLive
Services does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights,
contract rights or any other rights of any person or entity. You agree to pay
for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person or entity by
reason of any Content posted by you on or through the AMGLive Services.

and display the AMGLive Content (excluding any software code) solely for your
personal use in connection with viewing the AMGLive Website and using the
AMGLive Services.

for monitoring the AMGLive Services for inappropriate Content or conduct. If at
