Thank you for your interest in Mobber.com, LLC ("MOBBER"). The following terms and conditions govern your registration and use of MOBBER.


You Must Agree to these Terms of Service to Use MOBBER Products
By using or registering for a MOBBER Product (defined below), you agree to these terms and conditions ("Terms of Service") and the MOBBER Privacy Policy. You agree to accept notices electronically. Each time you use a MOBBER Product, you reaffirm your acceptance of the then-current Terms of Service. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms of Service, you may discontinue using the MOBBER Products. You cannot use or sign up for MOBBER Products until you have accepted these Terms of Service.


MOBBER Products
For purposes of these Terms of Service, the term "MOBBER Products" shall mean MOBBER software (whether preinstalled, on a medium or offered by download), MOBBER services, MOBBER websites (including, without limitation, MOBBER.COM and any other interface where MOBBER products apprear) and all other software, features, tools, web sites and services provided by or through MOBBER and third-party vendors.


Additional Terms and Conditions for other Services or Products
You agree and understand that certain MOBBER Products, features and other premium services offered by or through MOBBER may be subject to additional terms and conditions or registration requirements. You agree to abide by these additional terms and you further agree that a violation of those terms while you are accessing those products with your MOBBER Screen Name or through a MOBBER Product shall constitute a breach of these Terms of Service.


Modifications to the Terms of Service
MOBBER may change the Terms of Service at any time and in its sole discretion. The modified Terms of Service will be effective immediately upon posting and you agree to the new posted Terms of Service by continuing your use of the MOBBER Products. MOBBER will provide at least 30-days' notice before any material changes take effect. If you do not agree with the modified Terms of Service, your only remedy is to discontinue using the MOBBER Products and cancel your registration.


Requirements for Use or Registration of MOBBER Products
The MOBBER Products are intended for general audiences. You represent and warrant that you have adequate legal capacity to enter into binding agreements such as these Terms of Service. Some MOBBER Products may require the user to register and provide information to MOBBER, such as name, e-mail address, gender, date of birth, zip code (the "Registration Information"). If you register for any MOBBER Product, you agree to provide accurate and complete Registration Information and you agree to keep such information current.

You will need a valid form of identification to use MOBBER Products, such as a valid screen name issued by MOBBER or such other forms of user identification authorized by MOBBER (collectively, "Screen Name"). You may not (1) select or use a Screen Name of another person with the intention of impersonating that person, (2) use a Screen Name of anyone else without authorization, (3) use a Screen Name in violation of the intellectual property rights of any person or (4) use a Screen Name that MOBBER considers in its sole discretion as being inappropriate.


Inactive Status
You must use your Screen Names on a regular basis (e.g., log into a MOBBER Product) to keep your Screen Names and registration active. MOBBER may cancel the registration and Screen Names and delete any e-mail or data any MOBBER Product of any registered user who MOBBER has determined in its sole discretion has not used such Screen Name for a period of ninety (90) days. If your Screen Name is canceled, you will need to re-register for a MOBBER Product and obtain a new Screen Name to gain access to registration-based features and tools. You agree that MOBBER may delete any messages, emails, communication history, or other content associated with canceled Screen Names. If the Screen Name that you previously used and which was canceled has not been taken by another registered user of MOBBER or any affiliated service, you may re-register with your canceled Screen Name.


Registered User Information
The MOBBER Privacy Policy explains how MOBBER collects and uses information and the choices you have with that information. You consent to MOBBER using your registration information and other information collected by MOBBER under the terms of the MOBBER Privacy Policy.

By registering with or using MOBBER Products, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information and the transfer of this information to the United States or other countries for the processing and storage by MOBBER. Additionally, you agree that MOBBER may use the Screen Name or other similar technologies, to authenticate you on MOBBER, help store your registration and transaction-related information, and enable you to take advantage of offerings from MOBBER and its affiliated providers.


Your Responsibility
You are responsible for all activity made by you or anyone you allow to use your MOBBER account and Screen Name, including your family or friends. You agree to keep confidential the passwords associated with your account. You may not use MOBBER while driving, operating hazardous equipment, or engaging in other forms of hazardous activities. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MOBBER for losses incurred by MOBBER or another party due to someone else using your account or password as a result of your failure to use reasonable care to keep your account information confidential or as a result of your failure to use reasonable care while using MOBBER Products.

You are responsible for any materials you post or make available on or through the MOBBER Products, including message board posts, chat participation and profile pages.

Any telephone or other communications charges incurred by you to access MOBBER are your responsibility. If you are accessing MOBBER through a telephone line, please call your local phone company to determine if the access numbers you select are subject to long distance or other toll charges at your location. Also, your carrier, such as a wireless carrier, may charge service fees for alerts, text messaging (including receiving/sending instant messages and e-mail), web browsing and other services that require the use of airtime and wireless data services. Check with your carrier to verify the fees that may apply to you.

You may use MOBBER Products for lawful purposes only. You may not post on or transmit through community areas (e.g., the MOBBER slider, message boards, chat, e-mail, private messages, profile pages, calendars, instant messaging products) or other means any material that (1) violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others, (2) is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane, indecent or otherwise objectionable, (3) encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, (4) gives rise to civil liability, (5) violates any policies posted in any community areas or (6) otherwise violates any law.

You agree that MOBBER may take any legal and technical remedies to prevent unsolicited bulk communications from entering, utilizing or remaining within MOBBER's networks.

MOBBER, its vendors and MOBBER users who lawfully post content such as information, software, games, communications, photos, video, graphics, music, sound and other materials ("Content") on MOBBER Products own the property rights to that Content. The Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, international treaties, laws and other proprietary rights, and also may have security components that protect digital information only as authorized by MOBBER or its vendors.

Content You Post to Public Areas
As explained in detail in the MOBBER Privacy Policy, MOBBER does not read your private online communications when you use any of the communication tools on MOBBER Products.

You or the owner of the Content retain ownership of all right, title and interest in Content that you post to public areas of any MOBBER Product. However, by submitting or posting Content to public areas of MOBBER Products (for example, posting a message on a message board or submitting your picture for the "Rate-A-Mobber" feature), you grant MOBBER, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns, agents and licensees the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, adapt and promote this Content in any medium.

MOBBER may from time to time give you the opportunity to purchase or subscribe to products and premium services on MOBBER (collectively, "Premium Services"). You agree that your purchase or subscription of any Premium Service will be subject to additional terms and conditions that will supplement this agreement.

You can go to "My Profile" on the MOBBER Product to get information about billing or to determine the status of your bill and the amount of any surcharge.

Any trial promotion (such as free trial time or trial access to a Premium Service) must be used within the specified time of the trial. You must cancel your account before the end of the trial period to avoid being charged a membership fee. Please note, however, that even during any free trial or other promotion, you will still be responsible for any purchases and surcharges incurred using your account and that you remain responsible for any telecommunications charges or internet access charges that you may incur while you use a Premium Service.


Your Payment Responsibilities
You must select a payment method to pay for your fees for any Premium Service and for all purchases made from MOBBER Products. You must give MOBBER accurate billing and payment information and keep this information up-to-date through the "My Account" area on MOBBER Today. You agree to pay MOBBER for all charges incurred under your account, including all applicable taxes, fees and surcharges. You authorize MOBBER to charge your designated payment method for these charges. If MOBBER does not receive payment from your designated payment method, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by MOBBER or its operators.

Every time you use a MOBBER Product, you reaffirm that (i) MOBBER (or its designated vendor acting as MOBBER's billing agent) is authorized to charge your designated payment method; (ii) MOBBER may submit charges incurred under your account for payment; and (iii) you will be responsible for such charges, even if your membership is canceled or terminated.

You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account, including applicable taxes, fees, surcharges and purchases made by you or anyone on your account.

You must notify MOBBER's customer service about any billing problems or discrepancies within 90 days after they first appear on your Account statement. If you do not bring them to MOBBER's attention within 90 days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies.


Subscription Plans
Fees charged for subscription plans are nonrefundable and due in advance unless provided otherwise in your subscription plan. Under most monthly plans, your payment method will be charged automatically every month until such time that you cancel your subscription or MOBBER otherwise terminates your subscription. Also, under most subscription plans, MOBBER will automatically renew your subscription and charge your payment method until such time that you cancel your subscription or MOBBER otherwise terminates your subscription.

Your only method of withdrawing consent to receive Notices electronically is to terminate any subscriptions, services or other products provided under these Terms of Service.


Miscellaneous
  1. The provisions of these Terms of Service addressing disclaimers of representations and warranties, limitation of liability, indemnity obligations, intellectual property, Premium Services and governing law shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service, your Premium Services and your registration with the MOBBER Products.

  2. These Terms of Service and any operating rules for any areas of functionality of the MOBBER Products established by MOBBER constitute the entire agreement between MOBBER and you regarding the subject matter of these Terms of Service, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Service and any such other terms of use or operating rules of a specific MOBBER Product, these Terms of Service will supersede such other terms of service or operating rules. The Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute under the Terms of Service and or your use of the MOBBER Products resides in the courts located in the State of California, and you further expressly agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action. The foregoing provision may not apply to you depending on the laws of your jurisdiction. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.
