("DEAFusa," "we" "our" or "us") and you ("you," "your" or "yours"), and describe the terms under which you agree to use the DEAFusa communications protection programs which may be made available to you by us for which you have registered or enrolled or have been registered. In these Service Terms we may use the terms "Member" or "Affiliate" which refer to a customer that is enrolled in one of our fee-based Services. Collectively we will use the term "Customer" when referring to Members and Affiliates.

Both our Privacy Policy and our Website Terms of Use, which apply to our website (our "Site") and your use of our Site are incorporated by reference into these Service Terms.

FURTHER, IF YOU ENROLL IN OR USE OUR SERVICES, YOU ALSO REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO SO AS AN OWNER OF OR AGENT OF SIGNATORIES TO COVERED COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES.

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE SERVICE TERMS. WE MAY CHANGE, UPDATE, ADD OR REMOVE PROVISIONS OF THESE SERVICE TERMS AT ANY TIME BY POSTING THOSE CHANGES ON OUR SITE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICES AFTER SUCH POSTING SHALL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGES TO THESE SERVICE TERMS.

YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY MEMBER FOUND TO HAVE ENGAGED IN ANY ACTION WHICH UNDERMINES, ENDANGERS OR POTENTIALLY ENDANGERS THE PRIVACY OF DEAFUSA MEMBERS OR THE INTEGRITY OF DEAFUSA PRODUCTS OR THE COMPANY WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF SERVICES WITHOUT RECOURSE OR REFUND.

1. Enrolling in DEAFusa's Services - Members and Affiliates

Depending upon the Services you enroll in, register for, or otherwise sign up for or subscribe to use (collectively, "enroll"), we may permit you to be enrolled (i) on our Site, (ii) by some other method we expressly permit, or (iv) by a third party who is authorized to provide your Personal Information to enroll you on your behalf (collectively, the "Enrollment Process"). In order to enroll in, register for and receive one or more Services, you must provide us with the full and accurate Personal Information that we require for the applicable Services. You agree to keep all Personal Information updated and accurate. In the event we do not receive all the required Personal Information during your Enrollment Process, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, use our data base, the data base of our affiliates, or other resources to attempt to complete the required Personal Information on your behalf. If we are unable to obtain the required Personal Information or you fail to authenticate your identity as may be required, the Services for which you have enrolled or registered from us may be limited or unavailable. Upon completion of the Enrollment Process, and payment to us of any fees owed, you will become eligible to receive the Services for which you have enrolled or registered.

2. Changes to the Services

We reserve the right to modify, add to, discontinue, and/or retire any Service and/or any feature of a Service at any time.

We shall make reasonable attempts to provide you with notice of such modifications by posting them on the Site. We have no obligation to provide direct notice of any such changes. We have the right to define eligibility criteria for the Services, and make changes to those criteria at any time.

If we modify or update the Service Terms and/or Service(s), you have affirmatively agreed to such changes by continuing to use the Service(s) and Site.
