You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time at: GiblerFamily.com Terms and conditions of use (TOS). By accessing and using the The Family Services, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of the TOS. In addition, when using particular The Family owned or operated services, you and The Family shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services, which may be posted and modified from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. DESCRIPTION OF The Family SERVICES
The Family provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including without limitation various communications tools, forums, search services, personalized content and branded programming through its network of properties which may be accessed through any various medium or device now known or hereafter developed ("The Family Services"). You also understand and agree that the The Family Services may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for The Family to provide the The Family Services. You also understand and agree that the The Family Services may include certain communications from The Family, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the The Family Newsletter, and that these communications are considered part of The Family membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current The Family Services, including the release of new The Family properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the The Family Services is provided "AS-IS" and that The Family assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the The Family Services, and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the The Family Services.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the The Family Services, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.
YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

In consideration of your use of the The Family Services, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving the The Family Services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the The Family Service's registration form (the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or The Family has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, The Family has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the The Family Services (or any portion thereof). The Family is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, parents of children under the age of 13 who wish to allow their children access to the The Family Services must create a The Family Account. When you create a The Family Account and add your child to the account, you certify that you are at least 18 years old and that you are the legal guardian of the child/children listed on the The Family Family Account. By adding a child to your The Family Family Account, you also give your child permission to access many areas of the The Family Services, including, email, message boards and instant messaging (among others). Please remember that the The Family Services is designed to appeal to a broad audience. Accordingly, as the legal guardian, it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the The Family Services areas and/or Content (as defined in Section 6 below) are appropriate for your child.
The Family PRIVACY POLICY

Registration Data and certain other information about you are subject to our applicable privacy policy. For more information, see the full The Family Privacy Policy at http://giblerfamily.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73:privacy-policy&catid=38:member-publish

Without limiting the foregoing, The Family and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by The Family or submitted to The Family, including without limitation information in The Family Message Boards and in all other parts of the The Family Services.

You acknowledge, consent and agree that The Family may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce the TOS; (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; (iv) respond to your requests for customer service; or (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of The Family, its users and the public.

You understand that the The Family Services and software embodied within the The Family Services may include security components that permit digital materials to be protected, and that use of these materials is subject to usage rules set by The Family and/or content providers who provide content to the The Family Services.

Any unauthorized reproduction, publication, further distribution or public exhibition of the materials provided on the The Family Services, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.

When you register with The Family, you acknowledge that in using the The Family Services to send electronic communications (including but not limited to email, search queries, sending messages to The Family Chat or The Family Groups, uploading photos and files to Flickr, and other Internet activities), you will be causing communications to be sent through The Family's computer networks, portions of which are located in California, Texas, Virginia, and other locations in the United States and portions of which are located abroad. As a result, and also as a result of The Family's network architecture and business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the transmission of interstate communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to this TOS, you acknowledge that use of the service results in interstate data transmissions.
