This is a legal agreement between Pixton Comics Inc. ("we" or "us" or "PCI"), of P.O. Box 238, Parksville, British Columbia, Canada, and the entity named on the sign-up form that was submitted to PCI before you accepted this agreement ("you" or the "Member") regarding your use of the Pixton.com website ("Pixton") and the services described below.

If the individual who accepts this Agreement does not have the authority to do so on behalf of the Member, then that individual will be the Member and will be personally bound by this Agreement.

If you do not accept these terms, you must not use Pixton or PCI's services.

Agreement

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which each party acknowledges, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Membership. You do not have to be a member of Pixton to enjoy some of the features of Pixton. In particular, Pixton users who are non-members may view some of the content on Pixton, as long as they comply with this agreement and our policies. However, members receive additional benefits, subject to our policies and rules from time-to-time. Currently the membership options and benefits are as follows:
   1. Basic Membership, also referred to as "Pixton Membership". Basic members can create, remix, publicly post, share, embed, rate comics; comment on comics and send private messages to other members (subject to privacy settings and parental controls); participate in contests; create a basic profile page; purchase and spend Pixton Credits; earn badges, points, levels, and Pixton Reward Credits; activate a content filter; plot fellow members on a world map; buy Pixton merchandise and custom merchandise. See http://pixton.com/fi/basic for further information.
   2. Pixton+ Membership. Pixton+ members get the same options and benefits as basic members, and in addition can: use the fully-loaded comic creator; create private comics; specify who is allowed to remix a comic; receive a discount on certain virtual items; create an enhanced profile page and banner; use the pixture-selector; track fame with comic statistics; use activated rating power. See http://pixton.com/fi/plus for further information.
   3. Business Membership: Business members can use their comics for specified commercial purposes, and are additionally bound by PCI's Commercial Terms of Service agreement. See http://pixton.com/fi/business/overview for further information.
   We may change the benefits and features of membership from time-to-time by sending you an email or by posting the changes on Pixton. Our provision of the above benefits to you, including the services we provide on Pixton, are collectively the "Services". PCI may use third parties to provide some or all of the Services. The Services may be provided using servers and other equipment located in any country including Canada, the United States and elsewhere.
2. Eligibility. By submitting a membership application and accepting the terms of this agreement, you represent and warrant to us that:
   1. you are an individual who can form a legally binding contract at law; and
   2. you are at least 19 years old, and of the age of majority in the jurisdiction from which you access Pixton.
3. Pixton Account, User Name and Password.
   1. You may establish no more than one personal / education account and one business account with Pixton.
   2. You must select a unique user name and password for your account. You must not use a user name or password that is, in our sole discretion, vulgar, offensive, defamatory, obscene, hateful or otherwise unlawful or objectionable. You must keep your password secure and confidential.
   3. You are the only one who can access and use your user name, password and account. You must not allow anyone else to access or use your user name, password or account. You are solely responsible and liable for all activity conducted through your account. If you become aware of or reasonably suspect any security breach, including any loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of your password, you must immediately report the actual or suspected security breach to us.
   4. You must give us all "required information" we ask for on our registration form. All information you provide to us must be true, complete and current, and you must update this information as necessary to keep it true, complete and current.
4. Use of Services. You may only use the Services for your own personal purposes. You must not resell, transfer or otherwise provide any of the Services to any third party.

5. Credits and Virtual Items. Credits can be used on Pixton to acquire virtual items or pay-per-use features, subject to our policies. There are currently two types of credits available on Pixton: Paid Credits and Reward Credits. Paid Credits can be purchased (subject to any daily, weekly or other limitations), and automatically expire one year after they are issued. Reward Credits can be earned, and automatically expire one month after they are issued. Regardless of the type of credit, the credits have no cash value, cannot be transferred or sold, and are not refundable or convertible into cash. As between you and PCI, all credits and virtual items (and any intellectual property therein) are owned solely by PCI. You have no ownership or other rights in the credits or virtual items, other than a licence to use them in accordance with this agreement and PCI's policies, as those policies are amended from time-to-time.

   PCI may suspend, terminate or reverse any credit transaction (whether proposed, pending or past) if PCI suspects or believes there has been any fraudulent activity, any violation of this agreement or any of our policies or any applicable laws in connection with that transaction.

   PCI will have no liability if your account is hacked or if any of your credits or virtual items are lost, deleted, destroyed or used without your permission, and we will have no obligation to replace those credits or items, or compensate you for them. Pixton reserves the right, without prior notification, to limit the order quantity on any credit or virtual item and to refuse to provide you with any credit or virtual item, or to verify certain information before providing you with a credit or virtual item. Price and availability of the virtual items are subject to change without notice.

6. Payment. You will pay PCI the prices set on PCI's website from time-to-time plus all applicable taxes for the membership option, credits, virtual items or other products or services you purchase from PCI. Payments must be made in advance. PCI may change the fees from time-to-time.
7. Payment Options. You may pay PCI through the third-party payment processors made available on Pixton. You must comply with the terms of all agreements between you and them, and if you have any disputes regarding the processing of your payment you must deal directly with those third parties to resolve the disputes. If PCI allows you to pay PCI directly via credit card, then you authorize PCI to charge all amounts to the credit card number you provide to PCI. If your credit card payment is rejected or refused you will immediately pay PCI the amount due and provide PCI with an alternative credit card number for future payments. You represent and warrant to PCI that each credit card you use for payment to PCI either belongs to you, and you have the right to charge all such payments on the credit card(s). All payments, regardless of how they were made, are non-refundable.
8. Interest. You will pay PCI simple interest on all overdue amounts at a rate of 18% per year, calculated from the date payment was due until the date payment (including accrued interest thereon) is made in full.
9. Rules. Whenever you access, use or otherwise deal with the Services, you must comply with all:
   1. applicable laws;
   2. acceptable-use policies and other policies implemented by PCI with respect to the Pixton or the Services from time-to-time, as posted on PCI's website; and
   3. other rules, policies and procedures PCI communicates to you from time-to-time.
10. Privacy. Without limiting anything in this Agreement, you must comply with all applicable privacy laws and must not collect, use, retain or disclose any third party's personal information without their consent unless otherwise permitted by law to do so.
11. Your Privacy Consent. We and our representatives will collect personal information about you including your name, contact information, birth date, gender, numerical identifiers, personal preferences and other information.

    2. if you check the applicable box in the registration form, to provide you with information about our services,
    3. to customize the advertising and content that is presented to you on Pixton,
    4. to contact you regarding any orders you place through Pixton, and to help process, deliver and take payment for those orders,
    5. to verify your personal information, and
    6. as described in our Privacy Policy, which is currently available at http://pixton.com/fi/privacy or from our privacy officer at privacy_at_pixton.com.

    We may disclose your personal information electronically or in writing to our delivery and other service providers. We may use aggregate, non-identifiable information about Pixton members for promotional and advertising purposes. We will not sell your personal information to third parties.
