These Terms of Use, which incorporate the Givzy Privacy Policy and
Givzy Conduct Policy, (collectively, the "Agreement"), reflect a
binding and valid legal agreement between, on the one hand, the
entity or individual submitting the member form completed on Givzy’s
Web site to access the Givzy Service or any individual who receives
an email from a person that contains a Link (as defined below)
referring these terms (each a "Participant"), and, on the other
hand, Givzy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Givzy”), for
Participant’s use of the Givzy.com Web site and/or Givzy’s online
proprietary technology, functionality and content linking service as
well as other services, newsletters and programs offered through or
in connection with the Givzy.com Web site (collectively, “Givzy
Service”). “Participant" includes any affiliated persons, agents
and/or any agency or network acting on its (or their) behalf, which
shall also be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Part of the Givzy Service includes inserting Links into emails and/or Web pages
owned, controlled, generated or chosen by Participant (each a
"Participant Communication" and collectively, “Participant
Communications”). These Links may result in serving one or more
advertisements and related content (collectively “Advertisements”)
from one or more advertisers (“Advertisers”) in Participant
Communications. These Links may also take users, viewers and
recipients of Participant Communications to publicly available
content (“Publicly Displayed Content”) hosted by hosting companies
unrelated to Givzy (“Third Party Hosting Entities”), which such
content is owned or otherwise provided by persons unrelated to Givzy
(“Third Party Content Providers”). Participant should not use the Givzy Service or send or forward any email containing a Link unless
Participant understands that such email contains Advertisements and
Links to Publicly Displayed Content hosted by Third Party Hosting
Entities and provided by Third Party Content Providers. 1. Legal
Agreement. The description of the Givzy Service on Givzy’s Web site
under Frequently Asked Questions (http://www.Givzy.com/faq.asp) is
hereby incorporated by this reference and made a part of this
Agreement. Any registration terms contained on Givzy’s Web site are
also incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this
Agreement. Membership to the Givzy.com Web Site and use of the Givzy
Service is subject to Participant’s continued compliance with the
Participant Policies ("Participant Policies"), including the Privacy
Policy and the Conduct Policy, all of which can be located at
http://www.Givzy.com/conductpolicy.asp , or such other URL as Givzy may
provide from time to time. Givzy reserves the right to refuse
participation to any participant at any time in its sole discretion.
By using the Givzy Service, Participant represents that Participant
is at least 18 years of age, a USA resident and agrees that Givzy
may serve Advertisements and provide related or embedded links
(collectively, “Links”) within or otherwise in connection with the
Participant Communications. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof. Any modifications to this Agreement must be made in writing
executed by both parties, by Participant’s online acceptance of
updated terms, or by Participant’s use or continued use of the Givzy
Service (including without limitation sending or forwarding any
emails with Links provided by Givzy and referencing these Terms of
Use) after such terms have been updated by Givzy.
2. Obligations of Parties. Participant agrees not to modify any
Advertisements or Links, except that Participant may delete any
Advertisement or Link at any time from any Participant
Communication. Participant acknowledges and agrees that (a)
Participant sends and forwards emails to numerous persons without
regard to Givzy or Givzy Service, (b) Givzy is solely a service to
facilitate Participant in communicating with others regarding
subject matters that Participant believes is relevant or would be
otherwise welcomed by recipients of Participant Communications, (c)
all content made available through Links, unless otherwise
identified as Givzy content, is hosted by Third Party Hosting
Entities and provided by Third Party Content Providers and not
provided by Givzy, and (d) that Givzy, Advertisers, Third Party
Hosting Entities and Third Party Content Providers may rely upon the
foregoing acknowledgements and agreements. Notwithstanding that
Advertisements and Links may display or connect persons to content
provided by Advertisers, Third Party Hosting Entities, and Third
Party Content Providers, Participant is solely responsible for its
Participant Communications in their entirety, including all other
content and materials, the sending of any Participant Communications
to any person, and adherence to the terms of this Agreement and the
Participant Policies. Participant will refrain from including any
Advertisements or Links in any Participant Communications that fail
to comply with the Participant Policies. Givzy reserves the right to
investigate, at its own discretion, any activity that may violate
this Agreement or any of the Participant Policies. Givzy is not
responsible for anything related to any Participant Communication,
including without limitation the transmission of a Participant
Communication (e.g., email sending), transmission of any
Advertisements, Links or data between Participant Communication and
Givzy, or any content provided by Advertisers, Third Party Hosting
Entities and Third Party Content Providers. In addition, Givzy shall
not be obligated to provide notice to Participant in the event that
any Advertisement or Link is not working or is not being displayed
properly to end users or recipients of any Participant
Communication. Participant’s email service must be compatible with
any technical specifications necessary from time to time in order to
enable proper delivery, display, tracking, and reporting of
Advertisements and Links in connection with a Participant
Communication.

Service. Participant agrees not to (directly or indirectly) take any
action to generate a profit or other commercial purpose in

that any attempted participation or violation of any of the
foregoing is a material breach of this Agreement and that Givzy may
pursue any and all applicable legal and equitable remedies against
Participant, including an immediate suspension of Participant’s

graphics, pictures, designs, music, sound, video, information, and
other content, items and Publicly Displayed Content belonging to,

appropriateness, or completeness by Givzy, and Givzy is not
responsible for any Third Party Sites accessed through the Givzy
Service, any Advertisement, Link or any Third Party Content posted
on, available through the Givzy Service, including without

reliability, privacy practices, or other policies contained in or
provided by the Third Party Sites or in the Third Party Content.
Inclusion of, serving of, linking to or embedding a Link to any
Third Party Site or any Third Party Content does not imply approval
or endorsement thereof by Givzy. In addition, when Givzy places
links and logos of third party sites, this does not imply
endorsement of Givzy or the Givzy Service by these third party
sites. Accessing any Third Party Sites or using or forwarding any
Third Party Content is done at Participant’s own risk. Givzy is
providing these links to you only as a convenience. For avoidance of

responsibility of Participant. The views expressed on Givzy.com or

and Givzy does not support or endorse advertising or user submitted
content posted, submitted by or emailed by Participant or other
person, as the case may be.

for the articles, photos, Web site addresses, text, information,

post, transmit or share any Participant Content that Participant
does not have the legal authority to do so or otherwise violates
Paragraph 5 above. While Givzy has no obligation to review the
Participant Content, Givzy may delete, make unavailable or remove
any Participant Content (to the extent directly possible by Givzy),
in its sole discretion, without notice, and for any reason.
Participant grants to Givzy a royalty-free, unrestricted,
world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully
