1. Services.

1.1 Description of Services. The FasterAgent Service consists of a variety of products, computer programs, services and web site(s) hosted or made available by FasterAgent, which you may use for managing, organizing and completing broker price opinions on multiple computer and network platforms, now known or hereafter developed (collectively, the "Services"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number and features of the tools, services and features made available on the Site and the Services available may vary at FasterAgent's sole discretion, and FasterAgent does not make any representation that any particular tool, service or feature will be available at any given time.

1.2 Modification of the Site or Terms of Service. FasterAgent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, discontinue or terminate the Site and Services at any time, or modify these Terms of Service without notice. All modified terms and conditions will be effective after the new terms and conditions have been posted to the Site. If any modified terms and conditions are not acceptable to you, your sole remedy is to cease using the Site and Services, and if applicable, cancel your FasterAgent account. By continuing to access or use the Site and Services after we have posted the new terms and conditions on the site, you agree to be bound by such changes.

2. Content.

Certain types of content are made available through the Site. As used here, "Content" means the text, data, graphics, images, and other content made available through the Site, excluding Member-Provided Data. As used here, "Member-Provided Data" means the text, data, graphics, images, and other content and information which Members (as defined below) post, upload and otherwise submit to the Site, including without limitation in Member-created profile pages. FasterAgent reserves the right to remove and permanently delete any Content or Member-Provided Data from the Site without notice. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting publishing or otherwise making available any Member-Provided Data or other materials that are believed to violate these Terms of Service.

3. Registration.

In order to access and use certain features of the Site and Services, you must create a FasterAgent account and become a "Member". To become a Member you must be at least 13 years of age. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register to use our Services. When you register, you will be asked to choose a user name and a password. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You further agree that you will not share your user name and password with any third party. You agree that you will be solely responsible for any activities or actions taken under your password, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify FasterAgent of any unauthorized use of your password. You agree that the information that you provide to us upon registration, and at all other times will be true, accurate, current and complete. If you become a Member you consent to the use of: (a) electronic means to complete these Terms of Service and to provide you with any notices given pursuant to these Terms of Service; and (b) electronic records to store information related to these Terms of Service or your use of the Site and Services.

4. Termination; Cancellation

4.1 Account Termination. We may immediately terminate or suspend your access to the Site and Services and remove any material (including Member-Provided Data) from the Site or our servers, in the event that you breach these Terms of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we also reserve the right to terminate the Site, Services or your access thereto at any time and for any reason. After such a termination, you understand and acknowledge that we will have no further obligation to provide the Services. Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted to you by these Terms of Service will immediately cease.
