TutorABC Corporation ("TutorABC") is committed to providing you with an
effective and enjoyable online learning environment, and we have
established these Terms of Use to govern the use of our software, web
sites, message boards, bulletin boards, chat rooms, email, technology,
content, and other services (collectively, the "Service"). Please be
advised that certain special features of the Service offered through
TutorABC may have separate registration procedures and separate terms and
conditions, terms of service, user agreement, or similar legal agreement.
When you are using any Service provided by TutorABC that does not have a
separate legal agreement, then the Terms of Use set forth here shall
apply. By using the Service, you agree, without limitation or
qualification, to be bound by, and to comply with following Terms of Use:
(a) Reservation of Rights.
By using the Service, you agree that this software and all images, audio,
text, video, and other information are made available for your use
pursuant to the TutorABC License Agreement and/or Service Agreement that
you agreed to when registering and/or subscribing with TutorABC (the
"TutorABC Agreements"). Your continued right to use the Service will be
subject to and restricted by these Terms of Use and the TutorABC
Agreements.
TutorABC reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use from time to
time, without notice. You are bound by any revisions made to these Terms
of Use and, therefore, you should periodically review these Terms of Use
so that you will be kept apprised of any changes.
Please Note: You may not copy, transmit, or redistribute the Service, or
any portion of the content or software (including photographs, learning
activities, articles, or reference materials), or use the content or
software separate from the Service; nor may you allow other persons to
access or use the Service unless specifically authorized by TutorABC as
part of the Service. Any rights not expressly granted in these Terms of
Use or the TutorABC Agreements are reserved by TutorABC.
(b) Fees and Payments
You can always find the current prices on the TutorABC website, following
links for "Purchase Products". The prices listed do not include any VAT or
other applicable taxes; you will be responsible for paying any such taxes.
You agree that we may include some or all of such taxes in your credit
card charges. TutorABC may change the subscription fees then in effect
without notice. You may receive phone charges on your telephone bill,
depending on your location and telephone calling plan, even during the
trial period. You are responsible for all use of the Service accessed
through your password.
(c) General Terms of Use.

provided TutorABC with false registration information, if you violate the
Terms of Use or the TutorABC Agreements, or if you fail to pay us for
amounts you owe under your payment terms. TutorABC may modify its Service
with or without notice to you, and without liability to you or any third
party.
(iii) Please remember that you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of your account number and/or password and that you are responsible for
all uses of your account. You agree to immediately notify TutorABC (and

only. TutorABC does not control such web sites; you agree that TutorABC is
not responsible for their availability or their content. TutorABC's links
to such web sites do not imply any endorsement of the material on such web
sites or any association with their operators, goods, or services.
(d) Message Board, Bulletin Board, Email, and Chat Room Conduct.

solicitations (commercial or non-commercial). You also agree not to send
any message or material that is unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive,
threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise objectionable or that

remove any messaging content which it deems harmful, offensive, or
otherwise in violation of the Terms of Use or any rules we may have in
place at the time. TutorABC may choose to monitor some, all, or no areas
of the Messaging Services for adherence to the Terms of Use or other rules
that may be given to users.
(iii) You understand that all message board, bulletin board, and chat
communications are public and not private communications. Users are
