Effective Date: August 15, 2008
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY THESE TERMS OF USE BEFORE USING GIVZY’S SERVICE, JOINING GIVZY’S WEB SITE OR SENDING OR FORWARDING AN EMAIL THAT CONTAINS A GIVZY LINK. USE OF THE GIVZY SERVICE OR SENDING OR FORWARDING AN EMAIL CONTAINING A GIVZY LINK INDICATES THAT PARTICIPANT ACCEPTS THIS AGREEMENT. IF PARTICIPANT DOES NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, PARTICIPANT SHOULD NOT USE ANY GIVZY SERVICE AND SHOULD NOT SEND OR FORWARD ANY EMAIL WITH A GIVZY LINK. IN SUCH CASE, YOU AGREE TO DELETE ALL GIVZY LINKS FROM ANY EMAIL BEFORE SENDING OR FORWARDING TO ANY PERSON.
 
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.

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.
