Welcome!
Welcome to the ever-growing community of Netscape AOL Instant Messenger users!
This exciting and easy-to-use instant communications service allows you to see
when your Instant Messenger buddies are online and then communicate with them
instantly -- no matter how they access the Internet.
When an Netscape AOL Instant Messenger buddy sends you an instant message,
youÆll get the message on a small pop-up screen, and you can respond instantly.
ItÆs that easy. But, just like any terrific communications service -- the
telephone, for example -- there are bound to be pranksters who may try to contact
and bother you. And, because AOL wants your Instant Messenger experience to be
the best it can be, we have designed a special feature for you to use against
such pranksters. In the event you do get a crank instant message, you can use
our "Neighborhood Watch" feature to "hang up." This feature empowers you to
prevent the crank instant messenger from contacting you again for a period of
time and also to warn others about him. This way, you can control with whom you
communicate on Netscape AOL Instant Messenger. For your information, AOL
doesnÆt monitor the service or read, record or retain any messages, so if you
want AOL to know about a crank instant message, youÆll need to save and send the
message to AOL. While AOL expects that Neighborhood Watch will empower you
against most crank instant messengers, AOL may also decide to terminate serious
offenders.
Now that weÆve explained how the Netscape AOL Instant Messenger service works,
letÆs get you registered. Read the registration agreement below, and when youÆve
agreed to it, youÆll be all set to join the Netscape AOL Instant Messenger
Community!
Registration Agreement
By clicking below, you warrant that you are eighteen years or older and agree to
use the Netscape AOL Instant Messenger(TM) software ("Software") and service
("Service") as provided in this Registration Agreement.
AOL may, in its sole discretion and at any time, modify or discontinue the
Service; limit, terminate or suspend your use of the Service; and/or with 30 days
advance notice, introduce charges for the use of the Service or make changes to
this Registration Agreement. To terminate your registration, simply discontinue
using the Service.
You understand that you use the Service at your own risk and, that in general,
AOL provides no assistance other than the information posted on the AOL Web site
(including an AOL contact number) located at http://www.aol.com/aim/help.html.
AOL and its suppliers are in no way liable for any claims arising from your use
of the Service.
The Service contains a Neighborhood Watch feature which allows Service users from
the Internet, in their sole discretion, to assess "warnings" against other Service
users. These "warnings" may limit your use of the Service. AOL and its suppliers
are not responsible for the imposition of "warnings," or for the availability to
other Service users of such warnings and information about your Service session
length or tenure on the Service. You understand that Service users from AOL may
have other or additional Netscape AOL Instant Messenger features that are not
available to Service users from the Internet, e.g., a doorbell tool that allows
them to decide whether to accept a message from other AIM users.
AOL grants to you a non-exclusive, limited license to use the Software, pursuant
to the terms hereof, to connect to the Service only, and you may not modify,
reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software.
THE SERVICE AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, UNLESS SUCH WARRANTIES
ARE LEGALLY INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION. AOLÆS ENTIRE LIABILITY AND
YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO USE OF THE SERVICE AND THE
SOFTWARE SHALL BE THE REPLACEMENT OF ANY SOFTWARE FOUND TO BE
DEFECTIVE. NEITHER AOL, ITS EMPLOYEES, DISTRIBUTORS, SUPPLIERS,
DIRECTORS, NOR AGENTS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IN THE EVENT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED
AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES
OR JURISDICTIONS, AOLÆS AND ITS SUPPLIERSÆ LIABILITY SHALL BE
LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
If any part of the Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall
be construed to reflect, the partiesÆ original intent, and the remaining portions
remain in full force and effect. The laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
excluding its conflicts-of-law rules, govern the Agreement and your registration,
and you expressly agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute
arising from the use of the Service or Software resides in the courts of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
