The term "you" or "your" includes any of your subsidiaries, affiliates, employees and parent or legal guardian.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY.  By accessing or using our Site in any way you are agreeing to comply with these Terms of Use, including any documents, policies and guidelines incorporated by reference (referred to collectively as the "Terms"). Certain services available through our Site, especially services for which you are asked to subscribe or pay money, may have their own terms and conditions that apply to your purchase or use of that particular service. The Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any of these other written or online terms and conditions or agreements you may have or will have with Cricket, including any other website terms of use with an Cricket affiliate. To the extent that there is any conflict between these Terms and any terms and conditions or agreements relating to services you have purchased or online tools you use or to which you subscribe, those other terms and conditions or agreements will govern.

2.  AUTHORITY

Persons who are at least 13 years of age but under the age of 18 may only use our Sites with legal parental or guardian consent.  Accordingly, you agree that you are at least 18 years of age or older or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, representations and warranties set forth in the Terms; otherwise, please exit the Site.  Cricket suggests that you take advantage of any access controls offered through the Site or third-party sites, which are designed to assist you in limiting or blocking access to certain types of web content you may feel are harmful to or inappropriate for minors.

3.  CHANGES TO THE TERMS OR SITE

We may change or modify the Terms from time to time without notice other than posting the amended Terms on the Site.  The amended Terms will automatically be effective when posted on our Site.  Your continued use of our Site after any changes in these Terms shall constitute your consent to such changes.  We reserve the right to change, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Site (or any portion of the Site), including any and all content contained on the Site, at any time without notice. You agree that Cricket shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Site (or any portion thereof).

4.  REGISTRATION, PASSWORD AND SECURITY

Whenever you provide us information on our Site, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information and (b) maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.  If you provide any information that is, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the information is, untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Cricket may without notice suspend or terminate your access to our Site and refuse any and all current or future use of our Site (or any portion of the Site).

If any portion of our Site requires you to register or open an account you may also be asked to choose a password and a user name.  Please select a password that would not be obvious to someone trying to guess your password, and change it regularly as an added precaution.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account identification.  You agree to immediately notify Cricket of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security.  Without limiting any rights which Cricket may otherwise have, Cricket reserves the right to take any and all action, as it deems necessary or reasonable, to ensure the security of the Sites and your account, including without limitation terminating your account, changing your password, or requesting additional information to authorize transactions on your account. Notwithstanding the above, Cricket may rely on the authority of anyone accessing your account or using your password and in no event and under no circumstances shall Cricket be held liable to you for any liabilities or damages resulting from or arising out of (i) any action or inaction of Cricket under this provision, (ii) any compromise of the confidentiality of your account or password and (iii) any unauthorized access to your account or use of your password. You may not use anyone else's account at any time, without the permission of the account holder.

The security of your personally identifying information is important to us. While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, we will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of your personally identifying information. However, you understand and agree that such steps do not guarantee that use of the Site is invulnerable to all security breaches, and that Cricket makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation that use of any of our Site is protected from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.
