applicable to use of HLTNC, governing the use of certain specific material
contained in HLTNC, sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to
use of HLTNC by Subscriber. By using HLTNC (other

comply with all of the terms and conditions hereof. The right to use
HLTNC is personal to Subscriber and is not transferable to
any other person or entity. Subscriber is responsible for all use of

of this Agreement. Subscriber shall be responsible for protecting the
confidentiality of Subscriber's password(s), if any.

Changed Terms
HairlossTalk.com shall have the right at any time to change or modify the terms and
conditions applicable to Subscriber's use of HLTNC, or any
part thereof, or to impose new conditions, including, but not limited
to, adding fees and charges for use. Such changes, modifications, additions
or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which
may be given by means including, but not limited to, posting on HLTNC, or by electronic or conventional mail, or by any other
means by which Subscriber obtains notice thereof. Any use of HLTNC
by Subscriber after such notice shall be deemed to constitute acceptance
by Subscriber of such changes, modifications or additions.

Subscriber Conduct
(A) Subscriber shall use HLTNC for lawful purposes only.
Subscriber shall not post or transmit through HLTNC any material
which violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others, which
is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or
publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable,
which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give
rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any law, or which, without
HairlossTalk.com's express prior approval, contains advertising or any solicitation
with respect to products or services. Any conduct by a Subscriber that
in HairlossTalk.com's discretion restricts or inhibits any other Subscriber from
using or enjoying HLTNC will not be permitted. Subscriber
shall not use HLTNC to advertise or perform any commercial
solicitation, including, but not limited to, the solicitation of users
to become subscribers of other on-line information services competitive
with HLTNC.

In the event of any permitted copying, redistribution or publication
of copyrighted material, no changes in or deletion of author attribution,
trademark legend or copyright notice shall be made. Subscriber acknowledges
that it does not acquire any ownership rights by downloading copyrighted
material.
(C) Subscriber shall not upload, post or otherwise make available on
HLTNC any material protected by copyright, trademark or other
proprietary right without the express permission of the owner of the

that any material is not protected by copyright rests with Subscriber.
Subscriber shall be solely liable for any damage resulting from any
infringement of copyrights, proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting
from such a submission. By submitting material to any public area of
HLTNC, Subscriber automatically grants, or warrants that the
owner of such material has expressly granted HairlossTalk.com the royalty-free, perpetual,
irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify,

any other Subscriber to access, view, store or reproduce the material
for that Subscriber's personal use. Subscriber hereby grants HairlossTalk.com the
right to edit, copy, publish and distribute any material made available
on HLTNC by Subscriber.
