of Agreement ("TOA"). Your use of the Services in whole or in part
constitutes your binding acceptance of these TOA. If you do not agree to these
TOA, you should not use the Services.
Some Services may be subject to additional posted rules, policies and terms.

additional conditions, which are incorporated by reference into these TOA (and,
consequently, form part of your agreement with us). Other Services may be

users of our Event Square Internet site). In the event of an inconsistency
between these TOA and any additional posted conditions or separate usage terms,
the provisions of the additional conditions and/or separate usage terms shall
prevail.
Because we may modify all or any part of these TOA from time to time without
notice to you, you should check back often so you are aware of your current
rights and responsibilities. Your continued use of a given Service after
changes to the TOA have been published on that Service constitutes your binding
acceptance of the updated TOA. If at any time the TOA are no longer acceptable
to you, you should immediately cease all use of the Services.
