The Publisher makes certain services available to users of the Site who register as members (“Members”). A user can become a Member by logging on and providing a User name and password on the login form available on the Site. The Member must accept these Terms of Service in order to successfully log-on. A Member will remain a Member until the Publisher receives notification of the Member’s intention to terminate the membership. The Member warrants that the Member has provided complete and accurate information at log-on or on the Member’s profiles.

Account Passwords Storefront.com accounts may be accessed only by use of a unique User ID and password. The use of a password does not restrict access by Storefront.com and its service providers to the password-protected materials.

For security reasons, if you are issued a User ID and password you must keep them confidential and not disclose them to any person or permit any other person to use them. Also, passwords must be non-obvious, hard-to-guess, confidential and changed on a regular basis, and Storefront.com Members must log-out at the end of each session.

You are solely responsible for any use and misuse of your ID and password and for all activities that occur under your User ID and password or under any album password that you may provide to others so that they may access materials you have posted or submitted to the Storefront.com System. You must ensure that the use of your account complies with this Agreement.

You must immediately notify Storefront.com of any unauthorized use of your User ID or password you have provided to other persons, or if you know or suspect that those passwords have been lost or stolen or become known to any other person.

All User IDs and passwords remain the property of Storefront.com, and may be cancelled or suspended at any time by Storefront.com without any prior notice or any liability to you or any other person. Storefront.com is not under any obligation to verify the actual identity or authority of the User of any User ID or password. If Storefront.com, in its sole discretion, considers a password to be insecure, then Storefront.com may cancel the password.

You must respond promptly to all email and other correspondence from Storefront.com including without limitation email and correspondence concerning complaints or concerns regarding your use of the Storefront.com Site and the use of your account.

The security and privacy provided by passwords is not complete, and can be circumvented. Your use of passwords is at your own risk.

Changes due to Errors Storefront.com endeavors to provide current and accurate information on the Site. Nevertheless, misprints or other errors may occur. Accordingly, Storefront.com reserves the right to change the prices, fees and charges associated with the Site and the goods and services available through the Site at any time and from time to time without any notice or any liability to you or any other person. Also, due to the popularity of some goods and services, Storefront.com cannot guarantee that goods or services advertised on the Site will be available when ordered or thereafter. Your use of the Site after such a change has been made constitutes your acceptance to the change.

Termination of Services You may cancel your membership at any time by directing your intentions to cancellations@Storefront.com. Notice is deemed to have been received by the Publisher upon receipt by you of Storefront.com’s express acknowledgement of receipt of email transmissions. You agree that your only remedy with respect to any dissatisfaction with any of the terms and conditions, policies, practices of the Publisher, Site content available through membership or otherwise is to cancel your membership.

Storefront.com may, in its sole discretion, change, suspend, or terminate, temporarily or permanently, the Site or any part of it at any time, for any reason, without any notice to you and without any liability to you or any other person.

Storefront.com and its service providers are not required to assess or otherwise determine the validity or legitimacy of any complaints or demands that they may receive regarding any materials that you may use or allow others to use in connection with the Site (including materials posted or submitted to the Site) before Storefront.com and its service providers take any remedial action that they consider, in their sole discretion, to be appropriate.

If this Agreement is terminated by you or by Storefront.com for any reason, then: (a) this Agreement will continue to apply and be binding upon you in respect of your prior use of the Site; (b) Storefront.com may immediately remove from the Site and permanently delete and destroy any materials that you or others may have posted or submitted to the Site without any prior notice or any liability to you or any other person; and (c) any fees and charges previously paid by you for unused services will not be refunded.
