All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service. iTrackz may also offer other services that are governed by different Terms of Service.
BEFORE USING THE iTrackz BLOG, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF SERVICE. BY REGISTERING FOR AND/OR ACCESSING, BROWSING, AND USING THE iTrackz BLOG, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS, INCLUDING ANY ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES, AND ANY FUTURE MODIFICATIONS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "TOS").

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
iTrackz is a search engine that allows users to locate digital music files made freely available for streaming on Internet websites. If you are a registered user, the website will also allow you, in accordance with this Agreement, to perform various activities, including creating a profile for yourself, uploading photos, creating blog posts, submitting reviews of content, and communicating with other registered members. The website and any service made available via the website is referred to in this Agreement as the "Service." As of the date stated above, the Service is provided to you for free, but iTrackz reserves the right to implement fees for any portion of the Service at any time.
3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
In consideration for your use of the Service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the 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 iTrackz has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, iTrackz has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).
4. YOUR OBLIGATIONS WHEN EMBEDDING A FLASH MUSIC PLAYER ON YOUR WEBSITE
The iTrackz music player consists of web page code that calls to a copy of the Adobe Flash Player that is already installed on an end user's computer (the "Player"). You may embed the unmodified code for the Player on your website, your Myspace or other social networking site profile, or any other website. The Player must at all times display the following:
(a) The images and associated text under the Player, as iTrackz may update from time to time. Currently these are "create an iTrackz", "Get This Ringtone", and "launch standalone player". The images and text come standard with the code for the Player provided by iTrackz;
(b) The song title and artist, if available, while streaming the music file using the iTrackz. This is required because a primary goal of iTrackz is to provide exposure for music artists and facilitate legal purchase of the artist's music while allowing fans to enjoy the music. This feature comes standard with the code for the Player provided by iTrackz; and
(c) Any iTrackz branding included with the Player.
If you modify the Player in any way, you may lose the ability to embed the Player without warning.
5. MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the Service registration process. 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 iTrackz 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. iTrackz WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY SAFEGUARD YOUR PASSWORD OR FOR ANY ACTIONS OCCURRING UNDER YOUR PASSWORD.
6. MEMBER CONDUCT AS TO COPYRIGHT POLICIES
a. Music Copyright Policy: iTrackz is an information location tool intended to help you find and enjoy music that has been legally posted by others on the Internet for promotional or other legal purposes.

b. User Compliance with Copyright Policy: As a user of the Service, you acknowledge and agree that you will not violate the iTrackz copyright policy by (i) adding links to the iTrackz search index when you know that the links are to music files that have not been posted by the copyright owner for promotional or other legal purposes, (ii) uploading music files to a site and then adding the URL to the iTrackz search index unless you are the owner of the copyright in the music, or (iii) representing that you are the owner of a copyright in a music file for the purpose of adding that file to the iTrackz search index when you are not the owner.
