or "our"), an Internet website offered in cooperation with mtvU, a
business of MTV Networks On Campus Inc. and the mtvU Television Channel
(together, “mtvU”). mtvU and the Site (together “BMOC”) are
provided by MTV Networks On Campus, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Viacom
International Inc. (Viacom International Inc., together with other subsidiaries
and affiliates of Viacom International Inc., including, without limitation, MTV
Networks, a division of Viacom International Inc., are referred to as "Affiliates").
Overview: This Privacy Policy is intended to explain our privacy practices and
inform you as to:
-
The kinds of Personal Information we collect from users of the Site and how
that information is collected;
· How we use your Personal Information;
· The circumstances under which we disclose Personal Information to third
parties;
· How you can access, update or delete any Personal Information collected about
you by us; and
· The mechanisms we have implemented to protect your Personal Information.
This Site is offered and made available only to users 18 years of age or older who reside in the United States of America, its territories and possessions (“U.S.”) and certain features on this Site (including, but not limited to, user registration and newsletter signups) may be subject to heightened age and/or other eligibility requirements. If you are not yet 18 years old or the required greater age for certain features, or do not reside in the U.S., and/or do not meet any other eligibility requirements, please discontinue using the Site immediately, or if, for any reason, you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not participate in the features, activities and services that require you to provide your Personal Information. This Privacy Policy is a part of the terms and conditions which are set forth in our Terms of Use Agreement. Any terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning given in the Terms of Use Agreement (the “Agreement”). Both the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use Agreement are legally binding on all users. We reserve the right to revise this
Privacy Policy at any time by updating this posting without advance notice to
you. Such revisions shall be effective to you immediately upon posting. Notice
of material changes to either document will be posted on the Site's homepage.

of Use Agreement often for updates. We may also e-mail you, at our
discretion, about these changes.
We are committed to protecting our users' privacy. Keeping the Personal
Information you share with us on the Site secure and ensuring your
understanding of how we collect, use, disclose and maintain your Personal
Information is important to us. We maintain reasonable physical, electronic and
procedural safeguards to protect your information and while no data
transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we have used and
will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the protection
of your Personal Information.
YOUR
CALIFORNIA
PRIVACY RIGHTS
Residents of the State of
California, under the California Civil Code,
have the right to request from companies conducting business in
California
a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed Personal
Information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes.
Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that
gives either an opt-out (which we may sometimes refer to as “unsubscribe”)
or opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as
advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, the company may
instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice
options.
This Site qualifies for the alternative option; it has a comprehensive privacy
policy and provides you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to
the use of your Personal Information by third parties for direct marketing
purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the
third parties that received your Personal Information for marketing purposes
during the preceding year.
If you are a
California
resident and request information about how to exercise your third party
disclosure choices you must send a request to the following address with a
preference on how our response to your request should be sent (email or postal
mail). Send an email to the Privacy Administrator at
mtvi-admin@mtvn.com, or you may contact us via postal mail at:

All requests sent via postal mail must be labeled "Your
California
Privacy Rights" on the envelope or post card and clearly stated on the actual
request. For all requests, please include your name, street address,
city, state, and zip code. (Your street address is optional if you wish to
receive a response to your request via email. Please include your zip code for
our own recordkeeping.) We will not accept requests via the telephone or by
facsimile. We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or
sent properly, or do not have complete information.
To all other users of this Site, if you have other questions about this Privacy
Policy, please contact our Privacy Administrator at

GENERAL PRIVACY INFORMATION
This Site is designed and targeted to U.S. audiences and is governed by and
operated in accordance with the laws of the U.S. We make no representation that
this Site is operated in accordance with the laws or regulations of, or
governed by, other nations. By your participation in our Site activities, you
certify that you are at least 18 years of age and a resident of the
U.S.
If you are located in the European Union or elsewhere outside of the U.S. and
you participate in activities on this Site contrary to our policy that only
U.S. residents are eligible for certain activities, you do so at your own risk
and initiative, and you, not us, are responsible for compliance with any
applicable local and national laws. Please be aware that any Personal
Information you provide to us or we obtain as a result of your use of this Site
will be transferred to the U.S and subject to
U.S.
law. By using this Site, participating in any Site activities, and/or providing
us with your Personal Information, you consent to this transfer and processing
of Personal Information to and in the U.S., and in other countries that may not
have an equivalent level of protection or a level of data protection considered
adequate in the European Union or European Economic Area. Consequently, you
hereby waive any claims that may arise under the laws and regulations that may
apply to you in or of any other country or jurisdiction. All users of the Site
are required to provide true, current, complete and accurate Personal
Information when prompted and we will reject and delete any entry that we
believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent, or inconsistent with this
Privacy Policy.
Your continued participation on this Site indicates your acceptance of this
Privacy Policy and of the collection, use, disclosure, management and storage
of your Personal Information as described below. We may from time to time,
transfer or merge any Personal Information collected off-line to our online
databases or store off-line information in an electronic format. We may also
combine Personal Information we collect online with information available from
other sources, including information received from our Affiliates, marketing
companies, or Advertisers (as defined in the Terms of Use Agreement). This
Privacy Policy covers all such Personal Information and will remain in full
force and effect as long as you are a user of the Site or a participant in our
features and activities even if your use of or participation in any particular
service, feature, function or promotional activity terminates, expires, ceases,
or is suspended or deactivated for any reason.
1. Collection and Use of Personal Information: When we use the term
"Personal Information" we mean information such as your first/middle initial or
name and last name, street address, town or city, state, zip code, telephone
number, instant-messenger nickname, blog or other personal website URL, date of
birth, e-mail address and any other information that would allow someone to
identify you or contact you. Personal Information also includes information
about your personal preferences, survey responses and your transactions or
relationship with us, if you have been a customer or you have provided this
type of information to any of the MTVN family of companies. For example, if you
order any of our Products (as defined in our Terms of Use Agreement), in
addition to your name and contact information, we will also collect and
maintain your billing address, shipping address, Product selections, your
credit card or other payment instrument information, your order number, and
information about your computer's internet address and website which may have
referred or directed you to the Site (e.g., the referring URL). Your credit
card or debit card number is classified as Sensitive Personal Information and
is collected via a secure transmission.
We collect Personal Information about you when you visit the Site and input
information, whether you are registering to use the Site, enrolling or signing
up for features and functions, participating in Promotions (as defined in the
Terms of Use Agreement), ordering or purchasing Products or in the course of
any other exchanges of information, transactions and activities. We may use the
information we obtain from you, including Personal Information, to tailor your
experience on the Site, to display content we think may be of interest to you,
or to let us customize what you see when you visit the Site according to your
preferences.
It is your responsibility to give us current, complete, truthful and accurate
information and to keep the Personal Information that you provide to us up to
date. We cannot and will not be responsible for any problems or liability that
may arise if you do not give us accurate, truthful or complete information or
you fail to update the information you give us.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your
user name and password and for any charges, costs, expenses, damages,
liabilities and losses we incur or may suffer as a result of your failure to do
so. You, and not us, are solely responsible and liable for your activity,
behavior, use and conduct on the Site and for any use of the Site or any other
activity or conduct in connection with the Site, by any others who use your
user name or password, unless and until you notify us that your user name or
password may have been compromised, misappropriated or improperly taken or used
by another party. Bear in mind that when you submit information to us, it does
not guarantee that we will permit you to use any or all of the features or
functions of the Site.
a. Collection of Personal Information During Registration. To register
as a member of the Site, you are required to select a user name and password
(together, the “User ID”), plus email address, first and last name, and
date of birth. Additional Personal Information requested during the
registration process (but not required) may include, but is not limited to,
gender, zip code, cable/satellite provider, ethnic information, and annual
income. We will allow you to change your password, as well as certain Personal
Information or Sensitive Personal Information you have given us in order to
keep this information current. Among other things, this information helps us
securely identify you as a registered or permitted user of those features and
functions. Certain Personal Information, such as your user name and date of
birth, cannot be changed.
All member benefits are free. As a registered user of the Site,
from time to time, we may also provide you with certain options
to subscribe to a selection of free email newsletters and other
periodic information. You may select such options
by opting-in at the time of registration or by responding to an offer or
invitation at a later date. You will also have the right to opt-out
(unsubscribe) or change your preferences at any time by logging in with your
User ID and changing the settings in your account. You may also opt-out to
particular email communications by responding to that email and using the
“unsubscribe” or opt-out procedure included in that communication.
If you are a registered user, you acknowledge, understand and hereby agree that
you are giving us your consent to track your activities and your use of the
Site and its functions and features, in connection with your registration. You
also agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use Agreement.
b. Collection of Personal Information During Registration or In Connection with
Certain Features and Functions. During registration (and possibly at
certain other times to enable your use of other features or functions or for
security purposes), you will be required to provide us with certain information
about you in order for us to allow you to use the features and functions of the
Site, which may include chat rooms, message boards, electronic mail services,
messaging services, auctions, shopping, registration and member profile pages.
c. Collection of Personal Information In Connection with Promotions. Membership
in the Site is not always required to enter Promotions such as contests and
sweepstakes. There may be a separate registration process which will require
the submission of your first and last name, street address, city, state and zip
code, email address, telephone number and date of birth. Additional Personal
Information may be requested depending on the specific Promotion, but
submission of such information may be optional. The Promotion’s entry page
and/or Rules will provide the specific requirements. You may also have the
opportunity to opt-in to special Promotions or offers from our Advertisers in
connection with certain of these Promotions.
d. Use of Personal Information in Connection with Promotions and Offers - Opt
Out Procedures. We or our Affiliates may contact Site registered users or
others that have registered for or participated in various Site Promotions,
transactions or events, or send offers for the purchase of goods and/or
services that may of interest to users. You may opt out of receiving marketing
and promotional e-mails from us at any time by logging into the Site as a
registered user with your User ID and editing the preferences and selections
available to you and the information associated with your account. You can also
use the opt-out mechanism that is contained in the e-mails we or our Affiliates
send you. However, we or our Affiliates may continue to contact you via e-mail
for administrative or informational purposes, including follow-up messages
regarding the administration of your registration, any services, features or
functions you have enrolled or registered to use, any Promotions you have
participated in or have entered, goods or services you have ordered or other
transactions you have undertaken with the Site.
In the event that we or our Affiliates unknowingly send an e-mail or other
message to a minor (a person under the age of 18 years) who has registered with
the Site in violation of the Agreement, the minor or the minor's parent or
legal guardian always have the right to unsubscribe (opt-out) from receiving
future e-mails or text messages using the opt-out (e.g., unsubscribe) mechanism
contained in the e-mail or message, or to request termination of the minor's
registration and status as a registered user with the Site. Please see the
Section of this Privacy Policy below entitled "Review, Update, or Delete Your
Personal Information" for details.
e. Sharing of Aggregate Information with Third Parties. Some of the
aggregate customer data we collect may be shared with Advertisers, multiple
system cable operators and other business partners of the Site, BMOC or the
Affiliates, but we do not give any Personal Information to them as part of the
relationship except as described in this Privacy Policy. Use of their tracking
technology is subject to their own privacy policies.
f. Use of Communities. If you use any of the Communities' features and
functions made available on or through the Site, please remember that any
information disclosed in these venues is automatically made public. You should
exercise caution when disclosing any Personal Information in the Communities,
as you do not know who will access and use your Personal Information or for
what purposes. The Site is in no way responsible for the accuracy, use, or
misuse of any information that you disclose or receive through these venues and
you should assume that any disclosure you do make in these venues will be
available publicly, even without your knowledge or authorization.
2. Wireless Marketing Services and Promotional Opportunities: BMOC
provides its valued website users and viewers with the opportunity to register
for special promotions, services, news, programming and information delivered
via text messaging and other wireless devices such as mobile phones. Users are
required to provide their consent to receive such information from BMOC, either
by registering on this Site or via their wireless device. Such services and
promotional opportunities are provided by Affiliates for BMOC. The information
requested as part of the online registration process is a user's telephone
number or a wireless email address, but only if specifically requested, and the
carrier's name. Optional information may be requested for specific Promotions,
such as a user's preferences regarding goods or services, choices of music or
artists, or other similar survey information. Depending on the Promotion, we
may also collect an Internet email address or other information and, depending
on the information collected, the user may also be required to confirm his or
her agreement to the Site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
Agreement.
We caution that most wireless transmissions are not secured and there is a
greater risk of an unknown third party's interception of messages or a user's
Personal Information when using a wireless communications device.
Users that register for BMOC's wireless marketing services acknowledge,
understand and agree that they will be charged by the user's wireless carrier
for all messages sent to the user from BMOC. Standard messaging rates will
apply, unless noted otherwise. Under no circumstances will BMOC or the
Affiliates be responsible for any wireless email or text messaging charges
incurred by a user or by a person that has access to a user's wireless device,
telephone number, or email address.
a. Registration
There are two registration methods provided for BMOC's wireless marketing
services. Standard rate Promotions will be subject to either the "single
opt-in" or the "double-opt-in (Site/SMS)" method, at the discretion of BMOC
depending on the type of Promotion. Premium rate services will require the
"double opt-in" (Site/SMS or SMS/SMS) method.
1) Single Opt-in Method: In response to a print, radio, television,
Internet, or other promotional message, users will be directed to send a
specific word or code via a text message to a designated telephone number to
register for the service promoted. The user's voluntary submission of the
designated word or code to BMOC will mean that the user has freely and
affirmatively granted permission to BMOC to send text messages to him or her.
BMOC will thank the user for his or her registration by sending a "Thank you"
message. The user may terminate the service at any time by using the
unsubscribe command in any text message from BMOC or by sending a text message
to VH1 that says "STOP", "END", "CANCEL", "REMOVE", "UNSUBSCRIBE" or "QUIT".
2) Double Opt-in (Site/SMS) Method: In response to a print, radio,
television, Internet, or other promotional message, users will be directed to
this Site to start the registration process. The user must affirmatively
consent to BMOC's sending of wireless messages to his or her designated
wireless device by submitting a telephone number (or wireless email address,
only if requested by BMOC) and by clicking the consent statement on the Site's
registration page. The user must also agree to the Site's Privacy Policy and
Terms of Use Agreement before the online registration process is completed.
BMOC will then send a "Confirmation" message to the user's designated wireless
device and will request that the user confirm that he or she has agreed to
receive messages from BMOC to that particular telephone number (or wireless
domain name when appropriate). The user must respond to the "Confirmation"
message with a text message that states "YES" or "Y" that will indicate the
user's acceptance of BMOC's wireless marketing service. Until the user responds
to the "Confirmation" message, the user is not registered for the specific
wireless marketing service subject to the promotion. A user may respond to the
"Confirmation" message at any time provided that BMOC may choose to terminate
offering wireless marketing service at any time and the user's response to the
"Confirmation" is only valid if the response is received while BMOC continues
to offer the specific wireless marketing service.
3) Double Opt-in (SMS/SMS) Method: In response to a print, radio,
television, Internet, or other promotional message, users will be directed to
send a specific word or code via a text message to a designated telephone
number to register for the service promoted. BMOC will then send a
"Confirmation" message to the user's designated wireless device and will
request that the user confirm that he or she has agreed to receive messages
from BMOC to that particular telephone number (or wireless domain name when
appropriate). The user must respond to the "Confirmation" message with a text
message that states "YES" or "Y" that will indicate the user's acceptance of
BMOC's wireless marketing service. Until the user responds to the
"Confirmation" message, the user is not registered for the specific wireless
marketing service subject to the promotion. A user may respond to the
"Confirmation" message at any time provided that BMOC may choose to terminate
offering wireless marketing service at any time and the user's response to the
"Confirmation" is only valid if the response is received while BMOC continues
to offer the specific wireless marketing service.
b. Termination of Wireless Services by User
Regardless of which one of the above opt-in methods was used to register, users
may revoke their consent to receive messages from BMOC by the following
procedure:
A user may cancel one or more services via his or her wireless device at any
time by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided by BMOC at the time the
message is sent, or by sending a text message that says "STOP", "END",
"CANCEL", "REMOVE", "UNSUBSCRIBE" or "QUIT". BMOC will terminate the user's
registration for the most recent wireless service sent to the user. Any of
these words followed by the word "ALL" in the user's termination request will
cancel all of the user's registered wireless services with BMOC. If the user
unsubscribes from one or all of BMOC service(s) via his or her wireless device,
the service(s) will be terminated immediately and will cancel the user's
previous opt-in.
c. Termination of Wireless Services by BMOC
A user understands, acknowledges and agrees that BMOC may, at its sole
discretion and without liability to any user, terminate its offer of any
specific wireless marketing service or all wireless marketing services at any
time without advance notice. BMOC may provide notice of terminations or changes
in services on this Site.
d. Use of Information
BMOC will not use a wireless telephone number, wireless or conventional
Internet email address, or other information submitted for its wireless
marketing services for any other purpose but to provide the service requested,
unless we provide advance notice of any other use. We will not share this
Personal Information with Advertisers or other third party marketers unless you
opt-in to such disclosure. We will share this information with the operational
service providers that assist us in delivering these wireless services to you
and with corporate affiliates related to BMOC and MTVN.
3. Cookies and Similar Technology: We use 'cookie' technology to collect
data regarding your visits to the Site. This data is stored in aggregate form
and is not used to identify any particular user or individual. We use cookies
and similar tracking technologies in a variety of ways, including:
· Keeping count of your return visits to the Site or our Advertisers' or
partners' sites;
· Accumulating and reporting aggregate, statistical information in connection
with the Site;
· Determining which features users like best; and
· Saving your user name, your password or other information so you don't have
to re-enter it each time you visit the Site.
Although we may track the numbers of visitors to inform us on how best to
update the Site and enhance the experience for all visitors, Personal
Information is not extracted in this process. We use tracking information on an
aggregated basis to help us operate the Site, enhance and improve our service,
improve the look of the Site and display advertising and marketing information.
This Site may contain advertisements, references and links to other websites
and organizations. We may also use third parties to display or serve
advertising on the Site and our web-based newsletters or other communications
which you may choose to receive. Often these third party Advertisers employ
cookie and web bug technologies to measure advertising effectiveness. You
should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, use or
disclosure of your information by third parties in connection with their
advertisements, promotions and other websites you encounter on the Internet.
The use of such technology by these third parties is within their control and
not ours. Even if we have a relationship with the third party, we do not
control those sites or their policies and practices regarding your information. This
Privacy Policy does not cover any use of Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information that a third party Advertiser or ad server may collect
from you. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions directly of them in
this regard. Use of Advertisers’ tracking technology is subject to
their own privacy policies. For more information about these third party
servers and how to "opt out" of the ad-serving cookie, please click here.
4. Privacy of Your Postings: We respect the privacy of the contents of
any Personal Information related to or contained in a Posting, unless the
information is intended to be disclosed (such Personal Information, except as
intended to be disclosed, is called “Confidential Personal Information”).
However, we reserve the right to monitor, edit, and disclose your use of the
Site or Confidential Personal Information to a third party, if we believe such
action is required by law or is necessary to protect and defend our rights, to
enforce this Privacy Policy or the other terms of the Agreement, or to protect
the interests of our users, Advertisers, Parent Companies, Affiliates,
suppliers, operational service providers, and others. Please see the Terms of
Use Agreement for details regarding Postings.
5. Disclosure to Third Parties: We do not sell, rent, lease or disclose
your Personal Information to unaffiliated entities or entities that are not our
Advertisers, except in the limited circumstances listed below. As stated above,
we will disclose Personal Information related to or contained in a Posting in
connection with the display of and other services relating to such Posting as
such Personal Information is intended to be disclosed. When we plan to disclose
your Personal Information to Advertisers, we ask for you to opt in to do so, in
which case their use of your information is subject to the Advertisers’ own
privacy policies. We may disclose Personal Information to Affiliates for
marketing and/or administrative purposes and you will have the right to opt-out
of such disclosure for marketing purpose. (For opt-out procedures, please see
the section of this Privacy Policy above entitled “Use of Personal Information
in Connection with Promotions and Offers; Opt-Out Procedures”).
a. Co-Branded Services and Features.
The Site also offers co-branded services and features, such as events and/or
Promotions that we put together with another company of our Affiliates ("Co-Branded
Partner"). Such services and features may be hosted on the Site and/or
on our Co-Branded Partner’s website. We may share your Personal Information
with our Co-Branded Partner and your voluntary use of or participation in a
co-branded service or feature means that you opt-in and give your affirmative
consent to both BMOC and our Co-Branded Partner to collect and use your
Personal Information provided during the user registration process and/or in
connection with the specific co-branded feature or service for the fulfillment
of the feature or service and for marketing or administrative purposes. If you
wish to opt-out of a Co-Branded Partner's future use of your Personal
Information for marketing purposes, you will need to contact the Co-Branded
Partner directly.
The Co-Branded Partner will be identified on the co-branded feature or service.
b. User Uploads
Registered users that participate in certain services relating to Postings,
such as our content upload feature, agree to have certain Personal Information
posted on the Site and the Platforms (as defined in the Submission Agreement)
or, if such feature is offered in connection with a
Co-Branded Partner, on our Co-Branded Partner’s website in connection with the
display of the uploaded content and posted on any Platform that the uploaded
content may be posted. Registered users that upload content may also be
required to submit additional Personal Information.
c. Operational Service Providers
We also have the right to disclose your Personal Information to third parties
for the purpose of administering and maintaining Site services, features,
functions and operations. We will refer to these third parties as "operational
service providers" and we use operational service providers to efficiently
provide the full range of Content and the services, features and functions we
bring you and we request that our operational service providers also protect
your privacy and not disclose your Personal Information to third party
marketers that are not associated with the Site. Additionally, such operational
service providers are not permitted to use your Personal Information for their
own marketing or promotional purposes.
d. Other Non-Affiliated Third Parties
We will make your Personal Information available to non-affiliated third
parties in the following limited circumstances:
-
When we are compelled to do so by a
governmental agency, court or other entity (e.g., to respond to
subpoenas, court orders or legal process);
-
If we believe your actions violate any
law, regulation, the Agreement, including, without limitation,
this Privacy Policy, or any of our other terms and conditions,
offerings or any other services, features or functions of the
Site, or if you threaten the rights, property or safety of the
Site, BMOC, its Affiliates, or any of its or their service
providers, suppliers, Advertisers, customers, users, registered
users or any other party;
-
If, in our sole discretion, we believe
such disclosure to be necessary or appropriate to investigate or
resolve possible problems or inquiries, to protect our business
and assets, to defend our interests and/or to comply with our
legal and regulatory obligations; or
-
In the event of a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, transfer of control, joint
venture or other business combination involving us, or our Affiliates.
6. Security & Protection of Personal Information: We maintain
reasonable standards of security and confidentiality. However, for most
Internet sites, it is possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications over an unsecured transmission.
We conduct financial transactions via secured transmissions but may not always
secure other parts of the site. We also limit access to the Site by our own
employees to those individuals who are authorized for the proper handling of
such information and any employee found violating our standards of security and
confidentiality will be subject to our disciplinary processes. We request that
our operational service providers follow the same policy.
7. Phishing: Phishing attacks attempt to steal consumers’ personal
identity data and financial account credentials. “Phishers” use ‘spoofed’
e-mails to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients
into divulging Sensitive Personal Information such as credit card numbers,
account usernames, passwords, and social security numbers. WE DO NOT SEND EMAILS
ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE OR CONFIRM SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION OR YOUR
USERNAME OR PASSWORD! If you receive such email communication, please
forward it immediately to the Site’s Privacy Administrator at
mtvi-admin@mtvn.com, and then immediately delete the fraudulent email
from your computer.
8. Accuracy and Confidentiality: It is your responsibility to give us
current, complete, truthful and accurate information and to keep the Personal
Information that you provide to us up to date. We cannot and will not be
responsible for any problems or liability that may arise if you do not give us
accurate, truthful or complete information or you fail to update the
information you give us.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your
user name and password and for any charges, costs, expenses, damages,
liabilities and losses we incur or may suffer as a result of your failure to do
so. You, and not us, are solely responsible and liable for your activity,
behavior, use and conduct on the Site and for any use of the Site or any other
activity or conduct in connection with the Site, by any others who use your
user name or password, unless and until you notify us that your user name or
password may have been compromised, misappropriated or improperly taken or used
by another party.
Bear in mind that when you submit information to us, it does not guarantee that
we will permit you to use any or all of the features or functions of the Site.
9. Review, Update or Delete Your Personal Information: Generally,
you may review, update or delete your Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information collected by this Site. You may also correct factual
inaccuracies. However, Personal Information that is necessary to check
eligibility, such as date of birth or age, cannot be deleted and can only be
modified with sufficient verification of the correct information; certain
Personal Information, such as email address, cannot be deleted but can be
modified. Deletion of certain Personal Information, such as username, may
result in suspension of your account or termination of any registration you may
have made. To review, update or delete your Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information collected by the Site, please click "ACCOUNT" on
the homepage. Sign in to your Site account with your user name and password.
Then, click on "EDIT" to change, update, or delete your Personal Information.

certain entries are subject to corporate and regulatory recordkeeping
requirements and will not be deleted upon user's request unless the entrant is
a child under the age of 13 years old. Parents (including legal guardians) of
minors that registered on the site in violation of the Terms of Use Agreement
who wish to terminate their minor's membership must use their minor's user name
and password to gain direct access to the account and select "CLOSE YOUR
ACCOUNT", or alternatively, a parent must provide verifiable identification
that they are the parent of the membership-ineligible minor. Minors that are
unknowingly registered on the Site are in violation of this Agreement. We will
not allow direct access to a user's account and Personal Information by any
person without the account's user name and password. (Please see above for how
to change account preferences.) If a parent does not have his or her minor's
user name or password, the parent will be required to send an email to the
Privacy Administrator that includes the parent's name, address, telephone and
email address, in addition to the minor's name and email address as registered
on the Site, plus the minor's date of birth. BMOC will send a confirming email
to the parent via the email address provided to verify that the parent wishes
to terminate his or her minor's account. The parent must then confirm by
sending a reply email to the designated return address. BMOC will then
terminate the minor's account but will notify the minor of the termination
request via email and will identify the name, address and email address of the
person making the request.
We reserve the right to deny access, use and registration privileges to any
user, including without limitation a registered user of any services, features
or functions of the Site if we believe there is a question about the identity
of the person trying to access the user’s account or any services, features or
functions. And if the burden or expense of providing access to your Personal
Information is disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or if the
legitimate rights of others would be violated, we may decide not to provide
access to such information. In such cases, we will provide to you an
explanation of why access cannot be provided and a contact person for further
inquiries.
