You acknowledge that BigDates may or may not pre-screen Content, but that BigDates and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or move any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, BigDates 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.
You acknowledge, consent and agree that BigDates 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: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the TOS; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property or personal safety of BigDates its users and the public.

You may not attempt to override or circumvent any of the usage rules embedded into the Service. Any unauthorized reproduction, publication, further distribution or public exhibition of the materials provided on the Service, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.
ASP Client Account, Password and Security
You will receive a password and account designation upon providing all Registration Data. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under Your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify BigDates of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that You exit from your account at the end of each session. BigDates cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Your failure to comply with this Section.
Fees and Charges
Setup and monthly fees will be automatically charged to a valid credit card provided by You at registration. At the completion of registration the setup fee will be charged to the applicable credit card. If within thirty (30) days of the completion of registration and charge of the setup fee, You decide and notify BigDates that you do not want to continue to use the Service, for any reason, the full amount of the setup fee will be refunded to You. This thirty (30) day 100% money-back guarantee period ends on the first Billing Date subsequent to registration.
Each subsequent Billing Date, starting with the Billing Date in the first month subsequent to the month of registration, the applicable credit card will be charged a monthly fee equal to the number of Active Users as of that Billing Date times the published rate per Customer. Any amount owed to You by BigDates relating to sales of paper greeting cards or other revenue generating events managed by BigDates, if any, will be deducted from the monthly charge. If the monthly credit card charge is not approved Your account will automatically be suspended until the monthly fee owed is paid. If the fee is not paid within five business days Your account will be terminated.
Any additional fees incurred by You (e.g. technical support, customization of landing pages or email templates) will be charged immediately to the applicable credit card on file. If any additional fees owed are not paid (e.g., the credit card number on file is declined) Your account will be automatically suspended until the monthly fee owed is paid. If the fee is not paid within five business days Your account will be terminated.
Termination or Cancellation
You may terminate the Service at anytime. The Service provides a means for automatic termination. You do not need to directly notify BigDates.
You agree that BigDates may, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately terminate Your account, any associated email address and access to the Service. Cause for such termination shall include, but not be limited to, (a) breaches or violations of the TOS or other incorporated agreements or guidelines, (b) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (c) discontinuance or material modification to the Service (or any part thereof), (d) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, (e) extended periods of inactivity, (f) engagement by You in fraudulent or illegal activities, and/or (g) nonpayment of any fees owed by You in connection with the Services.
Upon termination, for whatever reason, Your applicable credit card will be automatically charged as if that date was the next Billing Date. There is no monthly proration of fees for the final billing, so it is to Your advantage to cancel just prior to your Billing Date.
Additionally, upon termination for whatever reason, all Active Users in your account will be notified that the Service has been terminated and no further reminders will be sent to them on Your behalf. The Active Users will be given a choice to unsubscribe from the Service, remain in the Service or transfer their account information to a BigDates affiliate. This will be done at the sole discretion of BigDates. If the Active User chooses to stay in the Service they will continue to receive reminders and have access to all the features of the Service and be bound by the TOS. However, gift suggestions will no longer contain Your product or services (unless an affiliate arrangement has been entered into with Us and You, solely at Our discretion), and no more fees will be owed by You or payable to You by BigDates with the exception of affiliate fees, if any.
Termination of your BigDates account includes (a) deletion of your password and all related information, files and Content associated with or inside Your account (or any part thereof) and (b) barring of further use of the Service. Further, you agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in BigDates sole discretion and that BigDates shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of Your account, any associated email address, or access to the Service.
