provided for free or for a recurring subscription fee. You will be

before signing up for any portion of the Service for which a recurring
subscription fee is charged. You will have to manifest your consent to
obtain fee-based services by clicking an Accept button on the Website.
Once you click Accept, you will be subject to the recurring
subscription fee that you have accepted for the period of time
selected, and you agree to pay in full such amount.
6.2 Taxes. All recurring subscription fees are
exclusive of any applicable taxes (value added taxes, sales, use, etc.)
unless otherwise stated, and you are solely responsible for the payment
of any applicable taxes that may be imposed upon you for use of the
Service.
6.3 Free Trial Period. Certain fee-based portions of
the Service may be available for a one-time free trial period (a 'Trial
Period'). The duration of a Trial Period will be identified for you
when you register for the Trial Period. In order to register for a
Trial Period, you will be required to provide credit card information
in accordance with Section 6.4 and create a User account. When you
create a user account that is subject to a Trial Period, you will be
notified of the length of the trial period and the date by which you
must cancel to avoid having your credit card charged. Unless you
terminate your Trial Period prior to the end of such Trial Period, your
credit card will be charged the recurring subscription fee applicable
at the time you signed up for the Trial Period. If at any time you wish
to know how much time is remaining in your trial period, this
information is available under the 'Account' tab from within the
application. We will send a notice to the e-mail account you used to
register for the Trial Period at least 5 days prior to the end of the
Trial Period to remind you of the pending expiration of the Trial
Period and the fact that you will be subject to fees after termination
of the Trial Period unless you terminate your User account. You may
cancel your account at any time during the Trial Period by clicking the

User account, you will lose all access to the Service and any and all
data or information associated with your User account.

make a charge. InnerGraphics may seek pre-authorization of your credit
card prior to permitting you to register for a fee-based aspect of the
Service to verify the validity of your credit card. Your credit card
provider may reduce your available balance by any amount pre-authorized
against your credit card. You should speak with your credit card
provider to understand their pre-authorization policies. You must
maintain a valid credit card on file with InnerGraphics while receiving
fee-based Services. If any charge to your credit card is rejected for
any reason, then you agree to provide updated credit card information
upon request by InnerGraphics and to pay any balances due.
InnerGraphics reserves the right to block access to your User account
until such time as a valid credit card is provided to cover all charges
incurred by you. You are solely responsible for any late fees or other
charges incurred by you as a result of your use of a credit card to pay
a subscription fee.
6.5 Monthly and Annual Subscriptions.
(a) Payment Frequency. InnerGraphics may offer
fee-based services on a monthly or annual subscription basis. Both
options are auto-renewal, meaning that once you sign up for either the
monthly or annual subscription, your credit card will be charged the
renewal fee at the end of the period for which you have registered for
a subsequent renewal period. The renewal fee charged to your account
will be the fee then in effect for the period for which you are
renewing. Renewal notices willnotbe sent to you if you elect a monthly
subscription but a renewal notice will be sent to you approximately 30
days prior to the renewal of an annual subscription. If you fail to
terminate your account prior to any periodic renewal, then your credit
card will be charged the full amount for the renewal period.

change subscription fees at any time and from time to time. You will be
notified of any price changes either via e-mail or through a pop-up

following a price change constitutes your acceptance of the applicable
price change. If you object to any price changes adopted by

Service and terminate your account prior to your credit card being
charged a recurring subscription fee at the changed rate. The
provisions of this paragraph are subject to all applicable local laws.

offered by InnerGraphics at any time by clicking on the 'Account' tab
in the web application. However, all payments are final and thereare no

20.2 Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between
you and InnerGraphics, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and
cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you
and InnerGraphics agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy
at law or equity that arises out of these Terms (a 'Claim') in
accordance with one of the subsections below or as InnerGraphics and
you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives,
we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a
resolution. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute
through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or
arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.
(a) Choice of Law; Forum. These Terms shall be
governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York and the
United States of America. You agree that any claim or dispute you may
have against InnerGraphics must be resolved by a court located in
Suffolk County, Massachusetts, except as otherwise agreed by you and
InnerGraphics or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph
below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal
and state courts located within Suffolk County, Massachussetts for the
purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes, and hereby waive any
claims or defenses that such courts are an inconvenient forum.
(b) Arbitration Option. For any claim (excluding
claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount
of the award sought is less than $5,000, the party requesting relief
may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through
binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects
arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an
established alternative dispute resolution ('ADR') provider mutually
agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must
comply with the following rules: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted
by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the
specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the
arbitration; (ii) the arbitration shall not involve any personal
appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed
by the parties; and (iii) any judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any
ADR provider chosen under this Section 20.2(b) must be located in an
office based in, or be a permanent resident of, Manhattan County, New
York.
(c) Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring
against InnerGraphics must be resolved in accordance with this Section
20.2 (Dispute Resolution).
All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section
20.2 (Dispute Resolution) shall be considered improperly filed. Should
you file a claim contrary to this Section 20.2 (Dispute Resolution),
InnerGraphics may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $5,000,
provided that InnerGraphics has notified you in writing of the
improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the
claim.
20.3 Waiver. A provision of these Terms may be
waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to
the benefit of such provision. The failure of InnerGraphics to exercise
or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a
waiver of such right or provision.
20.4 Severability. In the event that the application
of any provision of these Terms to any particular facts or
circumstances shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable under the
law hereof, then: (a) such provision shall be reformed without further
action by the Parties to the extent strictly necessary to render such
provision valid and enforceable when applied to such particular facts
or circumstances; and (b) the validity and enforceability of such
provision as applied to any other particular facts or circumstances,
and the validity and enforceability of all of the other provisions of
these Terms, shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.
20.5 Assignment. The Terms and related Guidelines
(if any), and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be
transferred or assigned by you, whether by sale, merger, operation of
law, or otherwise, without InnerGraphics's prior written consent, but
may be assigned by InnerGraphics without restriction. Any assignment
attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void. These
Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto, and their permitted successors, heirs, and assigns.
20.6 No Agency. You agree that no joint venture,
partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and
InnerGraphics as a result of these Terms or use of the InnerGraphics
Properties.
20.7 Survival. Sections 7 ('Ownership; Proprietary
Rights'), 10.2 ('Password'), 14 ('Indemnification; Hold Harmless'), 15
('Disclaimers; No Warranties'), 16 ('Limitation of Liability and
Damages'), 17 ('Limitations by Applicable Law; Basis of the Bargain'),
and 19 ('Miscellaneous') will survive any termination of these Terms.
20.8 Headings. The heading references herein are for
convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of these Terms, and
shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
20.9 Entire Agreement. This is the entire agreement
between you and InnerGraphics relating to the subject matter herein and
supersedes all previous communications, representations,
understandings, and agreements, either oral or written, between the
parties with respect to said subject matter. These Terms shall not be
