        JuniorNet ChildrenÆs Service

                   Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using or allowing
your child or children to use the JuniorNet ChildrenÆs Service (the "Service").
By using and allowing your children to use the Service, you are assenting to
these Terms of Service.  You and the children under your supervision
(hereinafter referred to as "your children," whether or not you are their parent,
or legal guardian or teacher or institution acting with permission of the
parent or legal guardian) cannot become members of the Service until you
accept these Terms of Service.  If you do not agree with these Terms of
Service, please do not click the "Accept" button and do not use the Service.


1.  Welcome!

Welcome to the JuniorNet ChildrenÆs Service (the "Service"), brought to
you by JuniorNet Corporation ("JuniorNet").  The document which follows
(the "Terms of Service") is a legal document that details your and your
childrenÆs rights and obligations as Service members.  These Terms of
Service are designed to ensure that all of our users have a positive, safe
and enjoyable experience while using the Service.  The parent, guardian or
other responsible adult or institution who installs and sets up the service (the
"Master Account Holder"), should review the Terms of Service carefully, and
then should review the JuniorNet KidsÆ Code with the children who will be
using the Service.  By completing the registration process and entering
personal information about a child, such as name, address and age, you
are acknowledging that you are the parent or legal guardian of the children
listed on your account.  If you are not the parent or legal guardian of the child
but are a teacher or institution, you can register for the Service but you must
be acting with the express permission of the parent or legal guardian of the
child. By completing the registration process, you are also acknowledging
that you are accepting a non-exclusive, non-assignable right and license to
use the Service, thereby indicating your agreement to be bound by these
Terms of Service as such terms may be modified from time to time by
JuniorNet.  JuniorNet reserves the right to change these Terms of Service at
any time.  If JuniorNet makes material changes or revisions to the Terms of
Service, we will provide 14 days advance notice to you through prominent
disclosure in the Account Manager Area (see Section 3 (d)),
the www.juniornet.com web site, by email to the Master Account Holder, or by
pop-up screen.

These Terms of Service govern your use and your children's use of the
Service and all other services which JuniorNet may provide to you and your
children in connection with the Service.  JuniorNet shall not be liable to you
for any breach of these Terms of Service by another user.  The Terms of
Service will be prominently displayed during the installation and registration
process and will be available through the Service in the InformationBooth as
well as on the JuniorNet web site at www.juniornet.com. JuniorNet advises
that you check one of these areas from time to time before using the Service
to determine whether the Terms of Service has been modified.  If you do not
agree to the changes in the Terms of Service as they may occur, please
arrange to terminate your registration with the Service immediately by
(i) notifying JuniorNet of your unwillingness to accept the changes to the
Terms of Service and canceling your JuniorNet account by contacting
Customer Service at 1-800-JUNIORNET; and by (ii) discontinuing both your
and your childrenÆs use of the Service.  Your continued membership to or
use of the Service will signify your acceptance of any change in the Terms
of Service.

JuniorNet may, from time to time, have special events or content available
on the Service which will be subject to additional terms pertaining to such
content or events.  In addition, special terms may apply to the use of the
Service outside the United States.  All such additional terms are referred to
hereafter as "Additional Terms".  These Additional Terms may be placed
on the Service.  You understand and agree that such Additional Terms are
hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service and that you
and your children will abide by such terms.

JuniorNet is committed to the safe enjoyment of the Service by all
participants.  These Terms of Service contain many provisions that address
safety, appropriate conduct, privacy and special aspects of the Service.


2.  Introduction to the Service

JuniorNet is an online service specifically designed for children. Using
hybrid CD-ROM/online technology to create a bounded environment and to
minimize delays, JuniorNet provides children with an interactive learning
experience full of content from top brand names in children's publishing and
family entertainment.  The Service is sold on a monthly membership basis
and is free of advertising.  Adults who are Master Account Holders are
welcome to look around and are encouraged to explore the Service, but only
while accompanying their children.  It is a violation of these Terms of Service
to impersonate a child on the JuniorNet ChildrenÆs Service.  JuniorNet
requires that initial registration be completed by an individual who is 18 years
of age or older.  The Service is supported by a companion web site for adults
at www.juniornet.com.  Neither the JuniorNet web site, nor any other web site,
is accessible from the Service.  The www.juniornet.com web site may contain
advertisements and online commerce areas that are not directed at children.


3.  How to Use JuniorNet

a)  System Requirements

JuniorNet is designed to run optimally on computers which meet the
following minimum system requirements:

    PC Compatible
    Operating System - Windows 95 or 98
    Processor - 133 mHz Pentium or better
    Random-Access Memory (RAM) - 32 MB or better
    Hard Drive Space - at least 60 MB available
    CD-ROM Drive Speed - 8x CD-ROM drive or faster
    Modem - 28.8 modem or better
    Sound Card - Sound Blaster or compatible sound card

You will need to access JuniorNet using your own Internet Service Provider
(ISP), and you are responsible for all telephone charges related to using
your ISP service.

b)  Installation, Registration and Technical Support

The installation and registration of JuniorNet typically takes about 20
minutes but can take longer, depending on how many of the applications
that the Service requires are pre-installed on your computer.  Simply install
the CD-ROM and follow the onscreen instructions.  If you have any
questions during this process, please call Technical Support at
1-800-952-7709.

c)  Selection of Screen Names

When you complete the registration process and accept the Terms of
Service, you become the Master Account Holder, and JuniorNet provides
you with a limited, non-exclusive license during the term of your account to
use up to four (4) separate sub-accounts or screen names, which will serve
as your childrenÆs online identity.  The screen names must be chosen at the
conclusion of the JuniorNet registration process and can consist of any
combination of up to 16 letters and numbers, except that (i) any screen name
that contains a userÆs last name will be automatically rejected, to limit
personally-identifiable information on the Service (ii) your children may not
use a screen name that is being used by someone else (if another Master
Account Holder has already picked a proposed screen name, the user will
be prompted to try another) and (iii) your childrenÆs screen names may not
be vulgar or be used in any way that violates these Terms of Service (all
screen names will be reviewed and may be rejected for using inappropriate
words).  PLEASE NOTE THAT (I) ONCE A CHILDÆS SCREEN NAME IS
PICKED AND ACCEPTED BY JUNIORNET, IT CANNOT BE CHANGED;
(II) IF A CHILD POSTS ANYTHING TO THE SERVICE, AND THE
POSTING IS ACCEPTED BY JUNIORNET, THE CHILDÆS SCREEN
NAME, AGE AND STATE WILL BE VISIBLE TO ALL JUNIORNET
MEMBERS; (III) THE SCREEN NAME FOLLOWED BY
@JUNIORNET.NET WILL BE THE BASIS FOR THE CHILDÆS EMAIL
ADDRESS AND (IV) IT IS A VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF
SERVICE FOR AN ADULT TO CREATE A SCREEN NAME AND USE
THE SERVICE AS IF HE OR SHE WERE A CHILD.

d)  Adult Controls

           Account Manager

The Account Manager Program (the "Account Manager") is a password-
controlled area that can be accessed by the parent or adult who installs
the JuniorNet software.  The Account Manager controls the childÆs level of
email access and, if applicable, allows the adult to add or delete email
addresses with which the child can communicate.  It can be reached by
clicking the Start Button in Windows, selecting Programs and then the file
within the JuniorNet program group entitled "Account Manager".  After
picking a user identification name and password during installation, the
Master Account Holder will be asked for their password each time he or
she enters this area, and only after entering this password can the Master
Account Holder access the Account Manager and change settings within
the Service.  If you have any questions about Account Manager controls,
please call Customer Service at 1-800-JUNIORNET.

        The www.juniornet.com web site

JuniorNet also operates a web site which offers corporate information,
member support, billing and credit card information, technical support,
frequently asked questions (FAQÆs) and content for parents and other
adults at www.juniornet.com.  There is an area for Master Account Holders
accessible from www.juniornet.com which is password protected and is
designed solely for the use of Master Account Holders.  The password to
access the web site is the same as that used to access the Account
Manager.

To ensure that both areas remain secure and that children do not modify
their email or the credit card or other settings without your knowledge, we
strongly recommend that you protect your password and do not permit
child users to access or enter the Account Manager or the Member Support
area of the www.juniornet.com web site.  JuniorNet also recommends
changing your password every three to six months. JuniorNet hereby
disclaims any and all liability for any circumstances arising from the
unauthorized use of a Master Account HolderÆs password. You are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you
will be responsible for all uses of your password, whether or not authorized
by you.  If you have reason to believe that someone is using your password
without authorization, including a child user, you agree to notify JuniorNet
immediately of the unauthorized use of your password and to change the
password using the Account Manager.


4.  Billing Policies

a)  Automatic Billing

Following an introductory free period, if any is applicable, the JuniorNet
billing system will bill your designated credit card automatically on a
monthly basis. You may terminate the billing to your credit card or select a
different credit card for billing by either accessing your file through the
JuniorNet web site or by calling Customer Service at 1-800-JUNIORNET.
Your right to use the Service is subject to any limits established by
JuniorNet or by your credit card issuer.  If payment cannot be charged to
your credit card or your charge is returned to JuniorNet for any reason,
including chargeback, JuniorNet reserves the right to either suspend or
terminate your access and account, thereby terminating this Agreement
and all obligations of JuniorNet hereunder, and thereafter to collect any
amount due.

b)  Fees

JuniorNet reserves the right to change the amount of, or basis for
determining, any fees or charges for the Service, and to institute new fees
or charges effective upon prior notice to Master Account Holders, by posting
such changes on its web site and/or in the Account Manager program or by
sending emails to Master Account Holders.

c)  Payment Choices

JuniorNet accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.

d)  Billing Security

JuniorNet uses Secure Sockets Layer technology that sends your credit
card data to our computers in encrypted code.

e)  Checking Your Bill Online

Adults will be able to check their bill online and to change or update
information regarding their credit cards at www.juniornet.com.


5.  Safety

a)  Online Safety

JuniorNet was created in response to parents' demands for a child friendly
online experience. While logged on to JuniorNet, a child is not able to
access the World Wide Web.  JuniorNet achieves its high level of security
by providing the user with proprietary client software that is designed and
built to communicate only with servers and locations that we control and
know to be part of our network. To create the safest atmosphere possible,
but still allow the level of communication necessary to achieve the
community-like aspects of the Internet, JuniorNet creates a "client-side
firewall" on the user's system.  This "client-side firewall" is designed to
serve as a barrier between the JuniorNet network and the Internet.

b)  Email Access Options

The email functions available to children on the Service embody the
benefits and fun of email while permitting adults to choose the level of
access for their children with which they are comfortable. Adults can
choose one of two access options for each of their children during the
sign-up process, as follows:

Level 1:    Totally Restricted - When JuniorNet is set up and installed, all
    non-internal, non-administrative mail functions are defaulted
    to "off".
    Only email from JuniorNet or its content providers will be
    allowed to reach the childÆs mailbox.  The child will also be able
    to send email to JuniorNet, but will not be able to send email to
    or receive email from other JuniorNet users or any other Internet
    email addresses.
    JuniorNetÆs content providers will be instructed to follow the
    guidelines established by JuniorNet for communicating with
    members but JuniorNet cannot be held liable for their words or
    actions.

Level 2:    Restricted Correspondence - The second level of email access
    will allow correspondence only with email addresses
    pre-approved by Master Account Holders.  The parent or Master
    Account Holder can add approved email addresses, including
    those of individuals who are not members of JuniorNet, to the list
    from which the child can receive     and to which the child can send
    email.  Any email coming to the child from outside of the childÆs
    approved list of email correspondents will be blocked and a
    message will be sent to the Master Account HolderÆs Account
    Manager requesting further action.  Please check the Account
    Manager on a regular basis for such messages.  If the Master
    Account Holder approves the email correspondent, the email
    can be forwarded to the child and the sender will be added to
    the childÆs approved list of correspondents.

    BY CHOOSING THIS OPTION, YOU ARE HEREBY
    ACKNOWLEDGING THAT JUNIORNET IS NOT
    RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY EMAIL TO OR FROM YOUR
    CHILDREN, THAT JUNIORNET DOES NOT SCREEN OR
    SEE THE CONTENT IN EMAILS, AND THAT JUNIORNET
    BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY EMAIL
    CORRESPONDENCE OF ITS USERS.


6.  Rules Regarding the Community Areas

Bulletin boards, forums, question and answer areas and the email
program comprise the Community Areas of the Service.  You shall not allow
your children to upload to, distribute through or otherwise publish through
the Service any content which is libelous, defamatory, obscene,
pornographic, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive,
illegal, that would constitute or encourage a criminal offense, violate the
rights of any party or that would otherwise give rise to liability or violate any
applicable law or is otherwise objectionable or inconsistent with the goals
of the JuniorNet Service.

The Community Areas shall be used only in a noncommercial manner.
You shall not permit your children to distribute or otherwise publish any
material containing any solicitation of funds, promotion, advertising or
solicitation for goods or services.  JuniorNet reserves the right to suspend
or terminate any screen name it reasonably believes is being used by an
adult, or is being used for commercial purposes or is otherwise in violation
of these Terms of Service.

JuniorNet offers children the ability to post to bulletin boards and question
and answer areas.  JuniorNetÆs trained chaperones (and in some cases
those of its content providers) will make reasonable efforts to review
posted information and not allow posts that violate these Terms of Service
to reach the Community Areas.  JuniorNetÆs content providersÆ will be
instructed to follow the guidelines established by JuniorNet for the
monitoring and management of posts, but JuniorNet shall not be held liable
for such content providers' actions or decisions.


7.  The JuniorNet KidsÆ Code

Appendix A to these Terms of Service is a document entitled "The JuniorNet
KidsÆ Code".  These rules have been written specifically for our child member
audience, and will be emailed to each child after completion of the
registration process.  They will also be posted in the Information Booth area
of the Service.  By accepting these Terms of Service, you hereby
acknowledge that you are responsible for ensuring that your children follow
The JuniorNet KidsÆ Code, and you acknowledge that any failure by your
children to follow these guidelines could result in suspension or termination
of your JuniorNet account which decision shall be made in JuniorNetÆs sole
discretion.


8.  Privacy Policy

Appendix B of this Agreement is JuniorNetÆs Privacy Policy.  You
acknowledge that although JuniorNet agrees to use its best efforts to
comply with and to ensure that its users, content providers, distributors and
licensees comply with this policy, JuniorNet cannot be held responsible for
the actions of third parties who violate its policies.


9.  JuniorNet Software License

JuniorNet grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to
use JuniorNet's software to connect with JuniorNet and to allow your
children to use the Service in accordance with these Terms of Service.
This license is subject to the restriction that you may not translate, reverse-
engineer or reverse-compile or de-compile, disassemble or make
derivative works from JuniorNet software or otherwise reduce the software
to human-perceivable form.  You may not modify JuniorNet software or use
it in any way not expressly authorized by this Agreement.  The installation
on separate computers and simultaneous use of a unique account and
screen name by separate individuals is a violation of these Terms of
Service.


10.  Restrictions on Downloading, Printing or Copying of Proprietary
        Information

Much of the content available on our service is owned by third parties
and/or is protected by copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual
property rights held by us or by such third parties.  JuniorNet is able to
provide a wide variety of content for the benefit of all users by entering into
license agreements with third party providers of branded content, through
its own creative efforts, and through work for hire agreements with third
parties.  You hereby agree to abide by all copyright notices, information
or restrictions contained in any content on the Service.

The Service and software used to operate the Service is protected under
U.S. copyright laws and is owned by JuniorNet Corporation.  Subject to the
specific terms and conditions in JuniorNetÆs agreements with each of its
content providers, all content as originally provided by either JuniorNet or
such content providers and the intellectual property and other rights thereto
are owned by JuniorNet and/or JuniorNetÆs content providers (as the case
may be).

You may not download, copy, reproduce, republish, transmit or print copies
of any content available on the Service at any time other than a single copy
for your own non-commercial use.  Using our content for any other purpose
is a violation of our copyright and other proprietary rights.

You hereby grant to JuniorNet on behalf of yourself and on behalf of your
children the non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license, with
the right to sublicense, to store or use in any way and through any media
any ideas or materials which you or your children may submit to or post in
a public area of JuniorNet or the Service.  All rights owned by JuniorNet
remain the property of JuniorNet, and all rights owned by JuniorNetÆs
content providers remain the property of those content providers.


11.  Export Controls

The Service is owned and operated by JuniorNet Corporation from its
offices in Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of
America.
JuniorNet makes no representation that materials on the Service are
appropriate or available for use in other countries. Those who choose to
access the Service from other locations do so on their own initiative and
are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local
laws are applicable.
JuniorNet's software is further subject to United States export controls. No
Service software may be exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or
resident of) Cuba, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Iran, Syria, or any other country
to which the U.S. has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S.
Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S.
Commerce Department's Table of Deny Orders. By using the Service
software, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the
control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.


12. Termination

Either you or JuniorNet may terminate your account at any time.  You
understand and agree that cancellation of your account is your sole right
and remedy with respect to any dispute you may have with JuniorNet.
JuniorNet also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately,
without notice, suspend or terminate your or your child's membership in
and/or ability to access the Service, specific sections of the Service
and/or any other Service provided by JuniorNet.  You can cancel your
childrenÆs membership and terminate your account by calling Customer
Service at 1-800-JUNIORNET.  In the event that your account is terminated
during a monthly billing period, no refund or reimbursement will be granted
for that period of the month in which you are no longer holding an account
with JuniorNet.

Holder shall use his, her or its best efforts to and ensure that all children
on their account will cooperate with JuniorNet in the defense of any claim

18.  Miscellaneous

In the event that any provision of the Terms of Service conflicts with the
law under which the Terms of Service are to be construed or if any such
provisions are held invalid by a court with jurisdiction over the parties to
the Terms of Service, such provision will be deemed to be restated to
reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in
accordance with applicable law, and the remainder of these Terms of
Service will remain in full force and effect.

The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by
the other party of any provision of the Terms of Service or to exercise any
right under the Terms of Service will not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment to any extent of such partyÆs right to assert or rely upon any
such provision or right in that or any other instance, rather, the same will be
and remain in full force and effect.

JuniorNet may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms of
Service and upon such assignment JuniorNet may be relieved of any

    APPENDIX A:  THE JUNIORNET KIDSÆ CODE

Welcome to JuniorNet!  Before you get started, we want you to know about
the JuniorNet KidsÆ Code, which is designed to help keep JuniorNet safe
and fun for everyone.  Make sure you talk about these rules with an adult in
your family before using JuniorNet for the first time.  You might want to print
them out and post them near your computer.

1.  Be safe.  Never give out or post your first or last name, street address,
web address, phone number, or school name. DonÆt ask anyone else for
this private information.

2.  Be kind to others.  ItÆs terrific to post your thoughts or feelings, ask a
question, or send email to a friend on JuniorNet.  Just make sure that you
donÆt swear and don't be mean to others. Also, donÆt use all CAPITAL
LETTERS - thatÆs like shouting at someone!

3.  DonÆt litter on JuniorNet.  If you post a message, be sure to stick to the
topic. (If the topic is "Caring for your Pet," only send messages about
animal care.) Be sure your messages make sense and be careful not to
send the same message over and over.

4.  DonÆt take anything that isnÆt yours. Some of the pictures, stories and
other writing on JuniorNet come from other people, and JuniorNet had to
ask them to use it.
You need to get permission to change, copy, or send anything you find on
JuniorNet. You can print a copy for yourself.

5.  Send only pictures and writing that you create. You should always get
permission before sending or posting anything you didnÆt make yourself.

6.  You give JuniorNet the right to use anything posted on the Service.
When you send something to JuniorNet, you are giving us the right to use
it on the Service or elsewhere and you understand that we will not return it
to you.

7.  DonÆt ask other kids to join or buy anything.  We donÆt have
commercials on JuniorNet, so itÆs not fair to ask other kids to buy anything
or to join anything, except for joining in the fun activities on JuniorNet.

8.  Your posts may not appear. Sometimes when you post a message to
JuniorNet, it may not show up right away on the service. Sometimes it wonÆt
show up at all.  Remember, if you post something that breaks the rules,
JuniorNet may reject it before it gets posted. We want JuniorNet to be a
safe place for everyone, so we try to read all postings before we put them
up.

9.  And the most important rule of all: Have fun on JuniorNet!

Note: Kids who break the rules may be asked to stay out of JuniorNet.
You must follow these rules. If you don't, you may be suspended or asked
to leave JuniorNet.



    APPENDIX B - PRIVACY POLICY

JuniorNet respects the privacy of every individual child using the JuniorNet
Service and of every parent or legal guardian who becomes a Master
Account Holder and recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of
personal information collected.  JuniorNet intends that the JuniorNet
Privacy Policy shall be consistent with federal and state laws and
regulations that relate to the protection of childrenÆs privacy.  Our Privacy
Policy has been carefully crafted to take your privacy concerns into
consideration and to comply with privacy guidelines published by the
Federal Trade Commission and other respected online privacy advocacy
groups.  By accepting the Terms of Service, you agree to abide by the
terms of this Privacy Policy.


1. Information About the Account

By establishing an account with the Service, Master Account Holders give
JuniorNet personal information including the Master Account HolderÆs name,
address, telephone number and credit card number, and their childrenÆs
names and ages.  This information will be used by JuniorNet for (1) billing
purposes; (2) to resolve problems reported by the Master Account Holder
with the Service; (3) to investigate or refer to the proper authorities a
perceived threat to a child, and (4) to investigate or to prevent activity that
violates the Terms of Service or is otherwise illegal, or to comply with
applicable laws or cooperate in legal proceedings where such information
is relevant.  From time to time, JuniorNet may communicate by email with
parents or other adults who are the Master Account Holders.  JuniorNet may
also, from time to time, make marketing offers solely to parents or Master
Account Holders, unless you tell us not to.


2. Individual ChildrenÆs Information

No personally-identifiable information (e.g. name, address, phone number)
from users we understand to be children under the age of 18 will be shared
with any third parties under any circumstances. Our Agreement is designed
to ensure that our collection of information from children we know to be under
the age of 18 has been consented to by their parent or legal guardian.


3.  Safeguards Against Posting Personal Information

JuniorNet offers children the ability to post to bulletin boards and question
and answer areas.  However, we realize that many children do not
understand the privacy issues that are important to their parents or legal
guardians. Therefore, JuniorNetÆs trained chaperones will make reasonable
efforts to review posted information and delete posts that include any of the
personal information covered by the JuniorNet KidsÆ Code before it reaches
the Service or as soon as practicable.


4.  Gathering Information in the Aggregate

JuniorNet tracks the time spent by children in each area of the Service for
the purpose of tailoring the Service to better meet parentsÆ and childrenÆs
needs. JuniorNet will track usage patterns based on sex, gender,
geography or other individually anonymous demographic categories in
order to analyze the popularity of specific content with our users. JuniorNet
does not provide any information that reveals or is likely to reveal
personally identifiable information regarding any of its members to any
third party.  In the event that JuniorNet desires to obtain the Master Account
HolderÆs consent to track or disclose any personal information about the
child to any third party, JuniorNet shall send an email to the Master Account
Holder which explains the circumstances and requests the consent from the
parent or legal guardian, without which no information will be released.


5.  Secure Technology and Restrictions on Employee Access

JuniorNet uses Secure Sockets Layer technology that sends your credit
card data to our computers in encrypted code.  Only authorized personnel
see a Master Account HolderÆs personal information on a "need-to-know"
basis.  For example, if a Master Account Holder calls Customer Service
with a question or comment, the customer service representative has a
need to know who is talking to them and will receive basic account
information.


6.  Changes to Personal Information and EMail Controls

After Master Account Holders have installed JuniorNet and provided the
company with personal and credit card information as outlined above,
JuniorNet will allow changes to such information through a
password-controlled adultsÆ area at www.juniornet.com or through the
Account Manager within the Program area of the Windows menu of your
computer.  The JuniorNet web site will also allow the Master Account
Holder to access the email controls for each child registered on the
service.


7.  Changes to this Privacy Policy

JuniorNet reserves the right to change this policy at any time. We may
modify these policies from time to time to better address your concerns or
to make other additions, deletions or changes that JuniorNet determines
to be appropriate.
