************************************************************************

1. Impermissible Conduct.
You may not engage in conduct or communication while using BYF which is unlawful or which restricts or inhibits any other user from using or enjoying BYF. You agree to use BYF only for lawful purposes. BYF reserves the right to terminate your membership if it determines in its sole discretion that you have engaged in any impermissible conduct. Set forth below are some common examples of impermissible conduct. This list is not exhaustive. BYF reserves the right, but does not assume the responsibility, to restrict conduct which BYF deems in its discretion to be harmful to individual Members, damaging to the communities which use BYF, or in violation of BYF's or any third party's rights. You acknowledge, however, that communication over BYF often occurs in real-time, or may be posted on one of BYF's message boards or libraries, and BYF cannot, and does not intend to, screen communication in advance.

You may not post or use BYF to: (1) harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress, unwanted attention or discomfort upon another user of BYF or other person or entity, (2) post or transmit sexually explicit images or other content which is deemed by BYF to be offensive, (3) transmit any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, deEULAmatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable Content, (4) cause the screen to "scroll" EULAster than other users are able to type to it or carry out any action with a similar disruptive effect, (5) impersonate any person, including but not limited to, an BYF official or employee, an ICP or ICP official or employee, or a moderator, forum leader, guide or host, or communicate under a EULAlse name or a name that you are not entitled or authorized to use, (6) disrupt the normal flow of dialogue in a chat room or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users, individuals or entities, (7) post or transmit chain letters or pyramid schemes, (8) post or transmit any unsolicited advertising, promotional materials, or other forms of solicitation to other Members, individuals or entities, except in those areas that are designated for such a purpose, (9) violate any operating rule, policy or guideline of any other interactive service, (10) intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation, or (11) modify any files which BYF does not specifically authorize you to modify.

Some of the foregoing types of impermissible behavior are discussed in more detail below:

(i) Offensive Communication. BYF is a community-oriented service composed of many different communities of people. Please remember that there may be children online. If you use vulgar or abusive language online, even if masked by symbols or other characters, or engage in other impermissible behavior, you may either receive a warning, or be temporarily or permanently excluded from one or more chat or game rooms or other activities, or your Membership may be terminated immediately and you may be subject to civil liability and/or investigation and prosecution by law enforcement.

(ii) Harassment. Harassment occurs when a Member targets another individual or entity to cause distress, embarrassment, unwanted attention, or other discomfort. BYF does not condone harassment in any form and may suspend or terminate the accounts of any Member who harasses others. You may have a disagreement with someone's point of view, but personal attacks, or attacks based on a person's race, national origin, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disablement or other such affiliation, are prohibited. If you have a disagreement with someone's point of view, address the subject, not the person. This provision shall not be construed to prohibit actions against fictional characters or other fictional entities in the context of normal game play.

(iii) Graphic Files. BYF prohibits the transfer or posting on BYF of sexually explicit images or other content deemed offensive by BYF.

(iv) Scrolling. "Scrolling" means repeatedly causing the screen to roll EULAster than users are able to type to it. It is caused by a user entering a set of random characters or by repeatedly entering a carriage return or taking any action with a similar disruptive effect. Scrolling is an expressly prohibited form of disruption.

(v) Impersonation. This can involve the portrayal of another person or entity, such as the impersonation of BYF or BYF staff, or communication under a EULAlse name or a name that you are not authorized to use. Members must avoid the portrayal of BYF or BYF staff or other persons in all forms of online communication, including, but not limited to, Member names, Member profiles, voice, text or graphic chat and message postings.

(vi) Room Disruption. This includes purposefully interfering with the normal flow of dialogue in a chat room or lobby. Disruption may occur by repeatedly interrupting conversation between Members, by acting in such a way as to antagonize, harass or create hostility in a chat room or lobby, or by making commercial postings, solicitations or advertisements and hacking attempts.

(vii) Chain Letters and Pyramid Schemes. Transmission of chain letters and pyramid schemes of any kind is not allowed on BYF. This material places an unnecessary load on BYF and is considered a nuisance by many Members. Certain chain letters and pyramid schemes are illegal. Letters or messages that offer a product or service based on the structure of a chain letter are a waste of resources and are not permitted on BYF.

(viii) Advertising and Solicitation. You may not use BYF to send unsolicited advertising, promotional material, or other forms of solicitation to other Members. You may not use BYF to collect or "harvest" Member names without the express prior permission of those Members. BYF reserves the right to block or filter mass email solicitations on or through BYF.

(ix) Improper Use of Proprietary Materials. Use of material which is subject to the Rights of any person or entity without the express permission of the Rights holder is prohibited and will result in the termination of your membership and possible civil and/or criminal liability.

If you witness any conduct that violates BYF's usage guidelines, you may contact BYF Customer Service through any means described on the Web Site. BYF will handle information you provide in its sole discretion, and may decide to take no action.

2. Use of Personal Publishing Tools.
BYF may provide Members with personal publishing tools to enable Members to create personal home pages or other Content. Use of such publishing tools will be subject to this MA. BYF reserves the right to require the removal of links or other content on or through Members' home pages or personal Internet sites if providing such content or links causes undue load or other problems on BYF.

3. Third Party Products and Services.
BYF does not endorse, warrant or guarantee any product or service offered through BYF by any third party, will not be a party to or in any way monitor any transaction between you and third-party providers of products or services, and will not bear any responsibility for their products, services, policies or actions. Members using any such products and services may be subject to additional terms and conditions relating to the use of such third party content, software or services and EULAilure to abide by those additional terms and conditions may result in termination of membership.

4. Member Lists.
From time to time, BYF Service may make its Member list available to select companies that offer products and/or information that BYF believes might be of interest to its Members. If you do not want your name released to these companies, please contact BYF Customer Service by email at support@BYF.com.
