6th August 2007
TheSGL.com is a social networking service that allows Members to create unique personal profiles online in order to find and communicate with old and new friends. The services offered by TheSGL.com ("TheSGL.com" or "we") include the TheSGL.com website ("TheSGL Website"), the TheSGL.com Internet messaging service, and any other features, content, or applications offered from time to time by TheSGL.com in connection with the TheSGL Website (collectively, "TheSGL Services"). The TheSGL Services are hosted in the U.K.
This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of the TheSGL Services. By using the TheSGL Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a "Visitor" (which means that you simply browse the TheSGL Website) or you are a "Member" (which means that you have registered with TheSGL.com). The term "User" refers to a Visitor or a Member. You are only authorized to use the TheSGL Services (regardless of whether your access or use is intended) if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and to this Agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully and save it. If you do not agree with it, you should leave the TheSGL Website and discontinue use of the TheSGL Services immediately. If you wish to become a Member, communicate with other Members and make use of the TheSGL Services, you must read this Agreement and indicate your acceptance during the Registration process.
This Agreement includes TheSGL.com's policy for acceptable use of the TheSGL Services and Content posted on the TheSGL Website, your rights, obligations and restrictions regarding your use of the TheSGL Services and TheSGL.com's Privacy Policy. In order to participate in certain TheSGL Services, you may be notified that you are required to download software or content and/or agree to additional terms and conditions. Unless otherwise provided by the additional terms and conditions applicable to the TheSGL Services in which you choose to participate, those additional terms are hereby incorporated into this Agreement. You may receive a copy of this Agreement by emailing us at: privacy@TheSGL.com, Subject: Terms of Use Agreement.
TheSGL.com may modify this Agreement from time to time and such modification shall be effective upon posting by TheSGL.com on the TheSGL Website. You agree to be bound to any changes to this Agreement when you use the TheSGL Services after any such modification is posted. It is therefore important that you review this Agreement regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes.
Please choose carefully the information you post on TheSGL.com and that you provide to other Users. Your TheSGL.com profile may not include the following items: telephone numbers, street addresses, last names, and any photographs containing nudity, or obscene, lewd, excessively violent, harassing, sexually explicit or otherwise objectionable subject matter. Despite this prohibition, information provided by other TheSGL.com Members (for instance, in their Profile) may contain inaccurate, inappropriate, offensive or sexually explicit material, products or services, and TheSGL.com assumes no responsibility or liability for this material. If you become aware of misuse of the TheSGL Services by any person, please contact TheSGL or click on the "Report Inappropriate Content" link at the bottom of any TheSGL.com page.
TheSGL.com reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any posting (including private messages) by you, or to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the TheSGL Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice, and without liability.
1. Eligibility. Use of and Membership in the TheSGL Services is void where prohibited. By using the TheSGL Services, you represent and warrant that (a) all registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (c) you are 14 years of age or older; and (d) your use of the TheSGL Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation. Your profile may be deleted and your Membership may be terminated without warning, if we believe that you are under 14 years of age.
2. Term. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while you use the TheSGL Services or are a Member. You may terminate your Membership at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Member's Account Settings page. TheSGL.com may terminate your Membership at any time, without warning. Even after Membership is terminated, this Agreement will remain in effect, including sections 5-17.
3. Fees. You acknowledge that TheSGL.com reserves the right to charge for the TheSGL Services and to change its fees from time to time in its discretion. If TheSGL.com terminates your Membership because you have breached the Agreement, you shall not be entitled to the refund of any unused portion of subscription fees.
4. Password. When you sign up to become a Member, you will also be asked to choose a password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You agree not to use the account, username, or password of another Member at any time or to disclose your password to any third party. You agree to notify TheSGL.com immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or access to your password. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your account.
5. Non-commercial Use by Members. The TheSGL Services are for the personal use of Members only and may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors except those that are specifically endorsed or approved by TheSGL.com. Illegal and/or unauthorized use of the TheSGL Services, including collecting usernames and/or email addresses of Members by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited email or unauthorized framing of or linking to the TheSGL Website is prohibited. Commercial advertisements, affiliate links, and other forms of solicitation may be removed from Member profiles without notice and may result in termination of Membership privileges. Appropriate legal action will be taken for any illegal or unauthorized use of the TheSGL Services.
6. Proprietary Rights in Content on TheSGL.com.
1. TheSGL.com does not claim any ownership rights in the text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, musical works, works of authorship, or any other materials (collectively, "Content") that you post to the TheSGL Services. After posting your Content to the TheSGL Services, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Content, and you continue to have the right to use your Content in any way you choose. By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content on or through the TheSGL Services, you hereby grant to TheSGL.com a limited license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely on and through the TheSGL Services.
Without this license, TheSGL.com would be unable to provide the TheSGL Services. For example, without the right to modify Member Content, TheSGL.com would not be able to digitally compress music files that Members submit or otherwise format Content to satisfy technical requirements, and without the right to publicly perform Member Content, TheSGL.com could not allow Users to listen to music posted by Members. The license you grant to TheSGL.com is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Content to anyone else in addition to TheSGL.com), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that TheSGL.com is not required to pay you for the use on the TheSGL Services of the Content that you post), sublicensable (so that TheSGL.com is able to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as Internet content delivery networks to provide the TheSGL Services), and worldwide (because the Internet and the TheSGL Services are global in reach). This license will terminate at the time you remove your Content from the TheSGL Services. The license does not grant TheSGL.com the right to sell your Content, nor does the license grant TheSGL.com the right to distribute your Content outside of the TheSGL Services.
2. You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on or through the TheSGL Services or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the TheSGL Services does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of any Content posted by you to or through the TheSGL Services.
3. The TheSGL Services contain Content of TheSGL.com ("TheSGL.com Content"). TheSGL.com Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and TheSGL.com owns and retains all rights in the TheSGL.com Content and the TheSGL Services. TheSGL.com hereby grants you a limited, revocable, nonsublicensable license to reproduce and display the TheSGL.com Content (excluding any software code) solely for your personal use in connection with viewing the TheSGL Website and using the TheSGL Services.
4. The TheSGL Services contain Content of Users and other TheSGL.com licensors. Except for Content posted by you, you may not copy, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, display, or sell any Content appearing on or through the TheSGL Services.

If at any time TheSGL.com chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the TheSGL Services, TheSGL.com nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the Content, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Content, and no responsibility for the conduct of the User submitting any such Content.

12. using the TheSGL Services in a manner inconsistent with any and all applicable laws and regulations.
