It is a contract in electronic form between you ("you," "your," and "yourself") and Action America, Inc. and its parent(s), successors, subsidiaries, affiliates, and family of brands ("Action America," "we," "us," and "our"). By using the Services or registering with us, you are agreeing to the TOS and may use our Services as long as you comply with the TOS.

Registering a Username and Keeping Your Account Active

You may need a username to use our Services. A username is a unique identifier selected or supplied by you or provided by us and is used to identify you on our Services. To register a username and create an account, you must be a United States resident and be at least 13 years of age unless the Service expressly indicates otherwise. You must give us true and accurate information about yourself and keep that information up to date. You may be able to use an e-mail address or other online identifier provided to you by someone other than us as a username. You are responsible for maintaining security and control over any e-mail address or online identifier provided to us as a username. If you fail to maintain security or control over such an e-mail address or other online identifier, you are responsible for any consequences and may lose access to your personal information and any data stored on our Services. Also, we are not responsible for the release or loss of any information that is identified with that address or identifier.

If you or we terminate or deactivate your account for any reason, we have no obligation to retain, store, or provide you with any data, information, e-mail, or other content that you uploaded, stored, transferred, sent, mailed, received, forwarded, posted or otherwise provide to us (collectively "posted" or "post") on the Services and may allow another user to register and use the username. We also have no obligation to remove any public data, content, or other information that you posted or reactivate your account.
