     to these Terms. If any of these Terms are unacceptable to you, you must
     stop using the Service. For those users who do not complete the
     registration process, your access to the Service may be limited.
     
     f.If you access the Service under a group subscription agreement (e.g.,
     corporations, organizations, institutions, etc.), then your access and use
     are also governed by that particular agreement between Reuters and your
     group. You agree that you are bound by and consent to all of these Terms;
     however if there is any inconsistency or dispute between these Terms and
     the group subscription agreement, then the terms of the relevant group
     subscription agreement will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency or
     dispute.
     
     g.If you access (or download) the Service through any third party platform
     or service, the applicable terms and conditions for such third party
     platform or service may apply in addition to these Terms and you agree that

     Terms.

 2.  Age Requirement
     
     By using the Service, you agree that you are at least 18 years old.

 3.  Changes to Terms
     
     From time to time, we may revise these Terms without giving prior notice.
     If we do make such revisions, we will post an updated version on this site
     (and update the “Last updated on _____” reference above). By continuing to
     use the Service after the updated version has been posted, you agree that
     you accept any changes to these Terms. If you do not accept these changes,
     please stop using the Service.

 4.  Changes to Digital Products
     
     From time to time, we may make changes to the Service without prior notice,
     which could include modifying, discontinuing, or disabling the Service, or
     modifying the registration options available to users. For example, we may
     automatically update or upgrade the version of the Service you may be using
     on your mobile device. You agree to any such changes and agree that these
     Terms will apply to all such changes.

 5.  Privacy

 9.  User-Generated Material
     
     a.The Service may have certain features that allow you or other users to

     (e.g., information, graphics, videos, images). We’ll refer to that material

     well as any additional guidelines or rules that are posted on the parts of
     the Service where you can provide User Material.

     loss, injury claim, liability, or damage of any kind resulting or related
     to your access, use, or the unavailability of the Service (or any part
     thereof).

 13. Our Financial Responsibility to You

     special, incidental, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not
     limited to lost profits, lost savings, and lost revenues, whether in
     negligence, tort, contract, or any other theory of liability, even if we
     have been advised of the possibility of such damages or could have foreseen
     any such damages. The limitations of liability in these Terms shall apply
     for the benefit of our officers, directors, employees, agents, or any
     company to whom we may transfer our rights and obligations to in accordance
     with these Terms.

     conflicts of law. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you
     hereby agree that any disputes arising under or in connection with these
     Terms or the Service shall be submitted for resolution to federal and state
     courts in New York County in the State of New York, and you hereby waive
     any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
     
     b.Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the
     Service or these Terms must be filed within one year after such claim or
     cause of action arose or be forever barred. Any claim by you that may arise

     you will in no event be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief.
     You also hereby expressly waive any right to resort to any form of class
     action.

     and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions will remain and
     not otherwise be affected.
     
     c.If we do not enforce any provision of the Terms, that will not constitute
     or be construed as a waiver of such a provision or our right to enforce it.
     
     d.The United National Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall
     not apply to the Terms, the Service, or any Content.
