or a Member. You are only authorized to use the CareerQuestions service
(regardless of whether your access or use is intended) if you agree

We reserve the right, at our

Terms of Use at any time without further notice. If we do this, we will
post the changes to these Terms of Use on this page and will indicate

Access to the Services
Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, Studio 2.0 may offer to provide certain services
and content, as described more fully on the Site, and which are selected
by User through the process provided on the Site ("Services").
Services shall include, but not be limited to, any services Studio 2.0
performs for User, as well as the offering of any materials displayed
or performed on the Site (including, but not limited to diagrams, text,
graphics, news articles, photographs, images, illustrations, audio clips
and video clips, also known as the "Content") on the Site.
Studio 2.0 may change, suspend or discontinue the Services including
any Content for any reason, at any time, including the availability
of any feature, database, or content. Studio 2.0 may also impose limits
on certain features and services or restrict User's access to parts
or all of the Services without notice or liability.
User certifies to Studio 2.0
that if User is an individual (i.e., not a corporation or institution)
User is of legal age to form a binding contract. User also certifies
that it is legally permitted to use the Services and access the Site,
and takes full responsibility for the selection and use of the Services
and access of the Site. Without limiting the foregoing, if User is under
the age of 13, User is not allowed to use the Services. This Agreement
is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Site is
revoked in such jurisdictions.
Site Content
The Site is protected by copyright
as a collective work and/or compilation, pursuant to U.S. copyright
laws, international conventions, and other copyright laws. User may
not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of,
reproduce (except as provided in this section of the Agreement), create
derivative works based on, distribute, perform, display, or in any way
exploit, any of the Content, software, materials, or Services in whole
or in part. User shall abide by all copyright notices, information,
and restrictions contained in any Content accessed through the Services.
Studio 2.0 does not claim ownership
rights in any Content that User chooses to post to the Site or send
using the Services. After posting Content to the Site or sending Content
using the Services, User continues to retain all ownership or license
rights in such Content.

found on www.CareerQuestions.com has necessarily been reviewed by professionals
with the expertise necessary to provide you with complete, accurate
or reliable information.

Studio 2.0 may remove any Content
and terminate User's account at any time for any reason (including,
but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third
parties or authorities relating to such Content), or for no reason at
all. User, not Studio 2.0, remains solely responsible for all Content
that User uploads, posts, e-mails, transmits, or otherwise disseminates
using, or in connection with, the Services. User acknowledges that all
Content that User accesses using the Services is at User's own risk
and User will be solely responsible for any damage to any party resulting
therefrom.
Restrictions
User is responsible for all
of its activity in connection with the Services and accessing the Site.
User may not post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted,
any communication or solicitation designed or intended to obtain password,
account, or private information from any Studio 2.0 user. User shall
not use any part of the Site or Services to violate the security of
any computer network, crack passwords or security encryption codes,
transfer or store material that is deemed threatening or obscene, or
engage in any kind of illegal activity. User will not run any form of
auto-responder, or "spam" on the Site, or any processes that
run or are activated while User is not logged in to the Site and/or
Service.
Warranty Disclaimer

User may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content. User

acquired Content through the Site or Services. The Site or Services

copyright compliance, legality or decency of material contained in or
accessed through the Site or Services. The services, content, site and
any software are provided on an "as is" basis, without warranties
of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation,
implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose
or non-infringement. Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to
user.
Registration and Security
In order to access some features
of CareerQuestions, you will have to create an account. You may never
use another's account without permission. When creating your account,
you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible
for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your

harmless, including costs and attorneys' fees, from any claim or demand
made by any third party due to or arising out of User's access to the
Site, use of the Services, the violation of this Agreement by User,
or the infringement by User, or any third party using User's account,
of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Studio 2.0
be liable with respect to the site or the services (i) for any amount
in excess of the aggregate fees paid by user for such services; or (ii)
for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages of
any kind whatsoever, substitute goods or services. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to user.
Termination
Either party may terminate
the Services at any time by notifying the other party by any means.
Studio 2.0 may also terminate or suspend any and all Services and access
to the Site immediately, without prior notice or liability, if User

of User's account, User's right to use the Services, access the Site
and any Content will immediately cease. All provisions of this Agreement
which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination,
including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers,
indemnification and limitations of liability.
Miscellaneous
The failure of either party
to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be
deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Studio 2.0 shall not
be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where
such failure results from any cause beyond Studio 2.0’s reasonable
control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications
failure or degradation. If any provision of this Agreement is found
to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated
to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise
remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not
assignable, transferable or sublicensable by User except with Studio
2.0’s prior written consent. Studio 2.0 may transfer, assign or delegate
this Agreement and its rights and obligations without consent. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of Canada without regard to the conflict of laws
provisions thereof. Both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete
and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and
supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications
and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement,
and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties,
except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture,
or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and User does
not have any authority of any kind to bind Studio 2.0 in any respect
whatsoever.
