  1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS.

    HKdotCom Ltd. (“HK.Com”) provides its MailMe@HKdotCOM service (“Service”) to you, subject to the following Terms of Service (“TOS”), which may be changed by us from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time at the Site: http://www.mailme.hk.com. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new properties shall be subject to the TOS. Continued access to or use of the Services after any such change shall constitute your consent and acceptance of any such change. You understand and agree that the Service is provided on an “AS-IS” and “As Available” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. In particular, HK.Com assumes no responsibility for the timelines, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personal settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service. You understand that access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges) and you accept responsibility for those fees, including fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service. By clicking the “Accept” button, you are agreeing to be bound by the TOS (as may be changed from time to time).
  1. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS.

    In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form (such information being 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 HK.Com has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, HK.Com has the right to suspend or terminate your account without prior notice and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). In case of such a termination, HK.Com assumes no responsibility to you or to any third party for any loss or damages arising from such a termination.
