TERMS OF USE OF BELLSOUTH WEB SITE(S)

1. DESCRIPTION OF OUR SITE
   
   Welcome to BellSouth. We provide users with access to a collection of on-line resources, which may include general and personalized content, communication tools, online directories, administrative services, purchasing services, download areas, games and information (all of which, together with this and other BellSouth Web sites through which they may be accessed or delivered, are collectively called our "Site"). We do this both through our Site and by linking to Web sites of companies with which we work as well as by linking to other sites we think may be useful to you or your business. Such sites may have their own terms of use or applicable policies. BellSouth has also contracted with certain third party suppliers to enable BellSouth to provide our Site to you. The term "BellSouth" (or "we", "our" and "us") includes all of the subsidiaries and affiliates of BellSouth Corporation, as well as their successors and assigns.
   
   
2. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
   
   BellSouth provides our Site to you subject to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). By using our Site in any way you are agreeing to comply with these Terms, which we may update from time to time without notice. All amended Terms shall automatically be effective when they are initially posted on our Site. Your continued use of our Site after any changes in these Terms shall constitute your consent to such changes. Certain services available through our Site, especially services for which you are asked to subscribe or pay money, may have their own additional terms and conditions that will apply to your purchase or use of that particular service and which will control in the event of any conflict with these Terms. These Terms govern the use of our Site by viewers and other users (visitors); if we have entered into a separate contract with a party for the insertion or other placement of content, advertising or other materials on any of our Sites (including but not limited to Yellow Pages listings), then the terms of such separate agreements will govern our relationship with such parties.
   
   
3. REGISTRATION, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
   
   Whenever you provide us information on our Site, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information and (b) maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the information is, untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, BellSouth or its third party suppliers may suspend or terminate your access to our Site and refuse any and all current or future use of our Site (or any portion thereof).
   
   If any portion of our Site requires you to register or open an account you may also be asked to choose a password and a user name. Please select a password that would not be obvious to someone trying to guess your password, and change it regularly as an added precaution. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account identification. You agree to immediately notify BellSouth of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. BellSouth will not be liable for any loss or damage that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. You may not use anyone else's account at any time, without the permission of the account holder.
   
   BellSouth intends to take certain industry-accepted precautions from time to time to secure our Site or portions thereof, and some portions of the Site may be labeled as "secure" in accordance with industry practice in connection with the use of such precautions. However, you understand and agree that such precautions do not guarantee that use of the Site is invulnerable to all security breaches, and that BellSouth makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation that use of our Site is protected from all viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.
   
   
4. PRIVACY POLICY; USE BY CHILDREN

Please view our comprehensive Privacy Policy relating to the collection and use of your information through or in connection with our Site. When you enter into transactions with or provide information to other companies providing content or services in connection with our Site, you will be subject to their privacy policies rather than ours.
