MyAuditions also may offer other services from time to time that are governed by the terms
of service of the respective service partners.

terminated or suspended if a user fails to sign-in to MyAudition for an extended period of

6. LICENSE TO MEMBER WEB PAGES AND OTHER USER CONTENT

above following the duration of any applicable promotional activities ongoing at the time

9. REMOVAL OF LINKS
MyAuditions occasionally receives requests from people to remove links from
MyAuditions. Although MyAuditions reserves the right to address such requests
individually, the general approach that MyAuditions takes reflects the following
principles: The catalogs and databases used in connection with MyAuditions search services
consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated
process with no advance review by human beings. Given the enormous volume of web site
information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, MyAuditions cannot and does
not screen anything made available through MyAuditions search services' catalogs and
databases. In other instances, MyAuditions makes available directories, indices, and
references consisting of content that has been identified, indexed, and compiled by
humans. Furthermore, some of the catalogs and databases that can be searched in
MyAuditions are compiled by third parties through automated processes. For each web site
reflected in MyAuditions search services' catalogs and databases, if either (i) a site
owner restricts access to his or her web site or (ii) a site is taken down from the web,
then, upon receipt of a request by the site owner in the first instance, and either the
site owner or a third party in the second instance, MyAuditions would remove the link to
that site the catalogs and databases or will pass the request along to any third party
compiler of the catalog or database However, if the operator of the site does not take
steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create the catalogs and databases
are likely to find it and index it again in a relatively short amount of time.
10. DISCLAIMER REGARDING THIRD PARTY CONTENT
MyAuditions offers access to numerous third party web pages and content available
over the Internet. In overwhelming majority instances, including, but not limited to,
sites displayed as search results or contained within a directory of links, MyAuditions
has no control whatsoever over the content of such sites. In other instances, including,
but not limited to, web pages hosted on MyAuditions or provided to MyAuditions by third
parties, MyAuditions may set guidelines for what may appear on such web pages and may
engage in certain screening, but generally exercises no control over the content of such
web pages and is unable to police all such content. Third party content accessible through
MyAuditions from such sources is developed by people over whom MyAuditions exercises no
control. The search results that appear from the catalogs indexed by MyAuditions spiders
or web robots are automated, and MyAuditions cannot and does not screen the sites before
including them in the catalogs from which such automated search results are gathered.
Similarly, web pages hosted by MyAuditions are posted by third parties, and, with the
exception of certain automated screening functions, MyAuditions cannot and does not screen
such web pages before they are made accessible to other users of MyAuditions. Accordingly,
MyAuditions assumes no responsibility for the content of any site included in any search
results or otherwise linked to MyAuditions web sites or in any web page hosted for a third
party within MyAuditions. In instances where MyAuditions does review the sites that are
displayed in directories, indices, and/or references, or where MyAuditions makes available
directories, indices, and/or references of sites compiled by third parties, the content
located at such sites was developed third parties, and review of such sites by
MyAuditions, if any, is narrowly limited to that which is necessary for compiling the
particular set of links.
11. MYAUDITIONS AND MYAUDITIONS MEMBERSHIP
MyAuditions offers MyAuditions members web page hosting and other services.

costs and expenses incurred by MyAuditions. If a Premium Member does not pay to renew its
Premium Membership, the Premium Member's web page will be deleted.

include, but are not limited to, email messages, chat, web pages, message boards, calendar
