CAMFROG USERS TERMS OF SERVICE

Introduction

Camshare LC (Camfrog) offers an innovative Internet communications service which allows you to see, hear, and chat with people all over the world. We at Camfrog (also sometimes "we," "us" or "our") want to make sure this is a great place for users to have fun and interact using this new technology. With any communications system it's important that everyone abide by some basic rules to make sure the service continues to be a fun place for people to participate. These rules and regulations are the Camfrog Users Terms of Service.

Please remember that the information, photos, and content in this Camfrog Video Chat directory are provided by individuals and/or entities unrelated to Camfrog. Please use discretion and monitoring when appropriate. We do not monitor or supervise every use of this directory or service, and WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF OTHER PERSONS OR ENTITIES. Please be cautious when accepting messages, video calls, or sending messages, or making video calls to people you don't know. NOT EVERYONE IN THE DIRECTORY IS WHO HE OR SHE CLAIMS TO BE, AND NOT EVERYONE HAS THE INTENTIONS STATED IN THEIR CAMFROG PROFILES, OR VIDEO CHAT ROOMS. THEREFORE, YOU ARE USING CAMFROG VIDEO CHAT SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Please use good judgment when using the Camfrog Video Chat software and site related services and follow these Terms of Service rules.

Any users who we believe are breaking the Camfrog Users Terms of Service or license and/or agreement will have their accounts frozen or revoked with no notice from Camfrog. Camfrog reserves the right to cancel any account for any reason at any time. You may also have your account frozen or revoked if you know of a violation of the Camfrog Terms of Service and you fail to notify us of the violation or if you fail to send us an inappropriate content report as provided in the Terms. If your account is cancelled for violating the Camfrog Users Terms of Service, failing to report a violations by another user, or for violating the license and/or agreement you will not be given a refund or credit of any kind.

By using the Camfrog Video Chat software and/or site related services, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions:

5. You may not make threats. Making threats against others or encouraging bodily harm or destruction of property is absolutely forbidden.

30. Violation Of Terms And Liquidated Damages.

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

You understand and agree that, because damages are often difficult to quantify, if it becomes necessary for Camfrog to pursue legal action to enforce these Terms, you will be liable to pay Camfrog the following amounts as liquidated damages, which you accept as reasonable estimates of Camfrogs' damages for the specified breaches of these Terms:

a. If you use Camfrog trademarks (including Camfrog, Camshare, Camfrog icons, the Camfrog logo, or any other copyrighted Camfrog graphics) without our permission you agree to pay Camfrog one thousand dollars ($ 1,000) for each instance of such unauthorized use, and $1,000 for each day of unauthorized use after being notified that your use is unauthorized.

b. If you broadcast, post, or instant message spam; post spam in a Camfrog profile comments; or spam other users with spam videos, you agree to pay Camfrog one hundred dollars ($100) for each instance of prohibited spam.

c. If Camfrog terminates your access to use of the service you agree to no longer use our service. If you continue to use our service you agree to pay Camfrog $100 per day for each day you access Camfrog after your account is terminated.

d. If you publish any form of image or user ID of another Camfrog user in violation of these Terms, you agree to pay Camfrog $100 for the first instance discovered by Camfrog, and $100 per day for every day the image or ID remains published after your receipt of notice from Camfrog regarding the violation of these Terms.

Otherwise, you agree to pay Camfrog's actual damages, to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably calculated. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, Camfrog retains the right to seek the remedy of specific performance of any term contained in these Terms, or a preliminary or permanent injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in these Terms, or any combination thereof.

31. These Terms of Service will be interpreted and governed by the laws of the State of Texas. You agree that any legal dispute involving Camfrog software and/or site related services must take place in State or Federal courts in Travis County, Texas. You agree to waive any objection to personal jurisdiction, and agree that venue shall be in Travis County, Texas.
