New Media ("TINM"), Pathfinder and the Forums (as defined below). The right to use Pathfinder Personal Edition, Pathfinder, the Forums and any other product or service offered by TINM is personal to you and is not transferable to any other person or entity. 1. Definitions. "Pathfinder Personal Edition" is the personalized online news and information service operated by TINM on the World Wide Web of the Internet (the "Service"). "Pathfinder" is the interactive online service operated by TINM on the World Wide Web of the Internet consisting of information services and content provided by TINM, affiliates of TINM and third parties. The Service and Pathfinder are referred to collectively as the "Online Services". "Forums" shall mean the bulletin boards, chat rooms and/or other interactive areas on either or both of the Online Services. "Subscriber" means each person who establishes an account for access to the Service. "Member" means each person who registers to use any of the Forums or any other product or service, or feature thereof, made available on Pathfinder for which registration is required or requested. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all terms applicable to Subscribers of the Service shall also apply with equal effect to subscribers of any other subscription product or service offered for sale by TINM. 2. General. TINM shall have the right at any time to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Service, Pathfinder or the Forums, including, but not limited to, content, hours of availability, and equipment needed for access or use. 3. Subscription Terms. (Applicable only to Subscribers) Subscription will continue until TINM receives notification of termination from Subscriber as described in Section 10. Subscriber authorizes TINM to charge to the credit card account designated during the registration process the current fees and charges for each term according to the subscription plan chosen by the Subscriber. If Subscriber accepted an offer that included a free trial period, Subscriber's credit card account will not be charged until after the end of the free trial period. A Subscriber ordering in response to a free trial period offer may cancel the subscription and avoid a charge to his/her credit card account by going to the Subscription Summary accessible from the Smart Statement and following the directions listed. Subscribers to a term of one year or more will be notified by TINM before the account designated by Subscriber is charged after the first term.

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 the Service and/or the Forums a revised version of this Agreement, notification by electronic or conventional mail. If any such change is unacceptable to Subscriber, Subscriber may terminate its membership account as provided in Section 10 below. Any use of the Service by the Subscriber and/or any use of the Forums by the Member after such notice (other than to terminate Subscriber's subscription or Member's membership pursuant to Section 10) shall conclusively be deemed to constitute acceptance by Subscriber or member of such changes, modifications, additions or deletions. Subscriber and Member each agrees to review the terms and conditions periodically to be aware of such revisions. Subscriber may also be subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by third party content providers in connection with third party content, software or servoces. 5.

The Forums shall not be used to solicit other Online Service users to become users of competitive online information services. Advertising or commercial solicitation may be posted on or transmitted through the Forums subject to TINM's express prior approval and solely in accordance with the terms and conditions imposed by TINM with respect thereto.
