Mo'Blast, Inc. ("Mo'Blast") provides users with access to a collection of location-based services, including various branded applications through its network of properties (including but not limited to Fon11), which may be accessed through various media or devices now known or hereafter developed (collectively, the "Mo'Blast Services").
This Terms of Service Agreement ("TOS") sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of Fon11. By using Fon11, you agree to be bound by this TOS. You are only authorized to use Fon11 if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and to this TOS. If you wish to become a User, communicate with other Users and make use of Fon11, you must read this TOS and indicate your acceptance during the registration process. If you do not agree with it, you should discontinue use of Fon11 immediately.
By accepting the terms of this TOS and using Fon11, you also understand and agree that Fon11 may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for Mo'Blast to provide Fon11. You also understand and agree that Fon11 may include certain communications from Mo'Blast, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the Mo'Blast Blogs and Forums, and that these communications are considered part of Fon11 User membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance Fon11, including the release of new Mo'Blast properties, shall be subject to the TOS.
You understand and agree that Fon11 is provided “AS IS” and that Mo'Blast assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any User communications, Content or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to Fon11, and you understand that such 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 Fon11.
Mo'Blast may modify this TOS from time to time and such modification shall be effective upon posting by Mo'Blast on Fon11's website. You agree to be bound to any changes to this TOS when you use Fon11 after any such modification is posted. It is therefore important that you review the TOS regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes.
1. Your Registration Obligations.
By using Fon11, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or not current, or Mo'Blast has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or not current, or if Mo'Blast believes that you are under 13 years of age, Mo'Blast has the right to suspend or terminate your account without warning and refuse any and all current or future use of Fon11 or any other Mo'Blast Services (or any portion thereof) to you.
2. Term.
This TOS (as may be modified by Mo'Blast from time to time) shall remain in full force and effect while you use Fon11. You may terminate your User membership at any time, for any reason. Mo'Blast may terminate your User membership at any time, without warning. Even after use or User membership is terminated, this TOS (as modified by Mo'Blast from time to time) will remain in effect.
