:)SMILIE.COM TERMS OF SERVICE - Last Updated 30/05/01


:)SmilieGames, an online game service and a collection of game specific websites dedicated to :)Smilie's and its affiliates' games (":)SmilieGames" or the "Service"), is offered by :)Smilie Limited, a division of :)Smilie. Three documents make up :)Smilie's Terms of Service ("TOS"): the Rules of Play, the Privacy Policy, and the Membership Agreement.

Your use of :)Smilie is subject at all times to our Rules of Play and our Privacy Policy. Your use of :)Smilie constitutes your acceptance of these terms. You may also become a Member of :)Smilie by registering on our site. To be a Member, you must accept all of the terms and conditions of the Membership Agreement.

:)Smilie TOS: Rules of Play
The Rules of Play tell you what you can expect on :)Smilie, and the kind of online behavior we expect of you. It also contains the terms on which we make the Service and any software available. Our player community is always evolving, so it's important that you periodically check here (as well as the rules and instructions in your favorite game areas) for updates and new information. All of our games, activities and other services, regardless of when they are added to :)Smilie are governed by our Terms of Service.

Appropriate Online Content.
By "Content," we mean the software, communications, images, sounds, and all the material and information you see on our Service. :)Smilie, our Members, our affiliates, and our independent content providers provide most of the Content on :)Smilie. :)Smilie does not pre-screen all Content available on our Service. :)Smilie does not assume any responsibility or liability for Content that is provided by Members or other guests on :)Smilie. :)Smilie does not endorse, approve, or prescreen any Content that you or other users communicate on the Service. We reserve the right to remove Content that is objectionable to us for any reason. Neither :)Smilie nor its affiliates assume any liability for any failure to remove, or any delay in removing, Content. You bear the entire risk of the completeness, accuracy or usefulness of Content found on our Service.

Members and other guests may generate Content in chat rooms, message boards, and in chat during games, etc. This kind of Content must reflect our standards, and we may remove it if, in our best judgment, it does not meet those standards. When we do, if you are a Member, you may receive a warning from us if your Account (described in the Membership Agreement) was responsible for posting the offensive Content. If it's a serious offense or you've violated our rules before, we may ban you from participating on :)Smilie and terminate your Member Account.

Content standards may vary depending on where you are on :)Smilie, the type of game you are playing and the expectations of the community. Some game play and chat rooms may involve use of stronger language than others, including mild expletives. Strong vulgar language, crude or explicit sexual references, discussions of illegal drugs, and hate speech are offensive and always inappropriate Content for :)Smilie. In other cases, there may be "gray areas". Always use your best judgment. If you would not say something in a room full of people you have never met, or in the workplace, please don't post it on our message boards or chat. :)Smilie makes the final determination about whether Content is objectionable or not. This determination is in our sole discretion, and is final.

:)Smilie representatives may monitor your communications on :)Smilie. But, because we cannot monitor all of the Content on :)Smilie, and we do not attempt to do so, you might encounter something you don't want to see. You can report it to the game support or complaint e-mail address for the area in which the incident occurred. Some of the areas on :)Smilie allow you to filter the chat you see. You can use this feature to reduce your exposure to words you do not wish to see. Reading the game help documents, or asking our :)Smilie staff members or other players in the game is a great way to learn how to use these tools. (Remember: :)Smilie staff members will not ask you for your password or account information.) Your good judgment in making reports, particularly about the opinions of others, is important and appreciated. :)Smilie does not endorse or oppose the opinions of any Member or guest, but we may take issue with the manner in which an opinion is expressed.

Online Conduct.
You agree that you will be personally responsible for your use of the Service and for all of your communication and activity on the Service, including any Content you contribute, and that you will indemnify and hold harmless :)Smilie Limited, its parent, affiliates, employees, officers, and directors from any liability or damages arising from your conduct on :)Smilie, including any Content that you contribute. Online conduct should be guided by common sense and basic etiquette. You will violate the Terms of Service if you (or others using your Account) do any of the following:

· Post, transmit, promote, or distribute Content that is illegal.
· Harass, threaten, embarrass, or do anything else to another Member or guest that is unwanted. This means: don't say bad things about them, don't keep sending them unwanted messages, don't attack their race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. If you disagree with someone, respond to the subject, not the person.
· Transmit or facilitate distribution of Content that is harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, vulgar, sexually explicit, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, or in a reasonable person's view, objectionable. Hate speech is not tolerated.
· Disrupt the flow of chat in chat rooms with vulgar language, abusiveness, hitting the Return key repeatedly or inputting large images so the screen goes by too fast to read, use of excessive shouting [all caps] in an attempt to disturb other users, or flooding [posting repetitive text]. This is online vandalism, and it ruins the experience for others.
· You may not impersonate another person (including celebrities), indicate that you are an :)SMILIE employee or a representative of :)SMILIE, or attempt to mislead users by indicating that you represent :)Smilie Limited or any of :)Smilie's partners or affiliates.
· Attempt to get a password, other account information, or other private information from a Member or any other user on :)Smilie. Remember: :)Smilie employees will NEVER ask for your password. Don't give your password, reminder words, or billing information out to anyone.
· Upload any software or Content that you do not own or have permission to freely distribute.
· Promote or encourage any illegal activity including hacking, cracking or distribution of counterfeit software;
· Upload files that contain a virus or corrupted data;
· Post messages for any purpose other than personal communication, or transmit advertising, promotional materials, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or make any commercial use of our Service.
· Improperly use the in game support or complaint buttons or make false reports to :)Smilie staff members.

2. CHARGES, BILLING AND FREE TRIALS
You may be a Member of :)Smilie without paying :)Smilie to participate in a game or other activity. However, :)Smilie will charge monthly subscription fees to access certain areas of the Service, play certain premium games and participate in related activities on :)Smilie. You must be a member of :)Smilie and pay the subscription or other fees to participate in these activities. If you must pay a subscription fee to access part of our Service or play a particular game, this information will be posted :)Smilie. You will be given the option to subscribe to the game by providing us with a valid credit card number and billing information.

When you subscribe to play certain games you may need to read and agree to a service or membership agreement that is specific to that game, and which may have terms that are slightly different than the ones that are found here. Your subscription to that game, and play of that game, is subject to those specific terms.

A. Payment by Credit Card.
You must use a credit card to pay for your subscription(s). When you provide credit card information to :)Smilie Limited, you represent to :)Smilie that you are the authorized user of the credit card that is used to pay subscription or other fees. Each month that you use :)Smilie, you agree and reaffirm that :)Smilie is authorized to charge your credit card for the subscription fee. You agree to promptly notify :)Smilie of any changes to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address, and you agree to promptly notify :)Smilie if your credit card expires or is canceled for any reason.

B. Charges to Your Credit Card.
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE AND ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART. :)Smilie reserves the right to change our fees or billing methods at any time and :)Smilie will provide notice of any such change at least thirty (30) days advance. All changes will be posted on :)Smilie and you are responsible for reviewing the billing section of :)Smilie to obtain timely notice of such changes. Your continued use of the Service of thirty (30) days after posting of the changes on :)Smilie means that you accept such changes. If any change is unacceptable to you, you may cancel your Membership or a particular subscription at any time, but :)Smilie will not refund any fees that may have accrued to your Account before cancellation of your Membership or subscription, and we will not prorate fees for any subscription. If your use of the Service is subject to use or sales tax, then :)Smilie may also charge you for any such taxes, in addition to the subscription or other fees published in the billing section of :)Smilie. For further information please refer to the Billing and Subscription FAQ.

As the Account holder, you are responsible for all charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by you or anyone that uses your Account, including your family or friends. This means that, unless your Account or credit card information is obtained unlawfully or fraudulently by someone other than those authorized by you to use your Account, you will be responsible for all usage and purchases on your Account.

C. Trial Subscriptions.
For some games and activities, we may offer a free trial subscription. If you accept a free trial subscription, we will begin to bill your Account for that game or activity when the free trial subscription expires, unless you cancel your subscription before that time. You are always responsible for any Internet service provider, telephone, and other connection fees that you may incur when using :)Smilie, even when we offer a free trial subscription.

D. Other Sites.
We may provide links to other websites. Some of these websites may charge separate fees, which are not included in any subscription or other fees that you may pay to :)Smilie. :)Smilie may also provide access to third-party vendors, who provide content, goods and or services on :)Smilie or the Internet. Any separate charges or obligations you incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility.

3. ONLINE CONDUCT AND CONTENT
Please refer to the Rules of Play. If you, or anyone using your Account, violate our online conduct or Content standards, :)Smilie may take action against your Account. We may issue you a warning about the violation, or we may choose to immediately terminate your Account.
