DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Yahoo!
provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including various communications tools, forums, shopping
services, search services, personalized content and branded programming through its network of properties which may be
accessed through any various medium or device now known or hereafter developed (the “Service”). You also understand and
agree that the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for
Yahoo!
to provide the
Service. You also understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from
Yahoo!
, such as service
announcements, administrative messages and the
Yahoo!
Newsletter, and that these communications are considered part of
Yahoo!
membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features
that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new
Yahoo!
properties, shall be subject to the TOS.
You understand and agree that the Service is provided “AS-IS” and that
Yahoo!
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.

(a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form
(the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and

(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 Service areas and/or Content (as defined in Section 6 below)
are appropriate for your child.
