This Agreement may be amended at any time by us from time to time without specific notice to you. The latest Agreement will be posted on the Site, and you should review this Agreement prior to using the Site.

2. Copyright The content, organization, graphics, design, compilation, magnetic translation, digital conversion and other matters related to the Site are protected under applicable copyrights, trademarks and other proprietary (including but not limited to intellectual property) rights. The copying, redistribution, use or publication by you of any such matters or any part of the Site, except as allowed by Section 4, is strictly prohibited. You do not acquire ownership rights to any content, document or other materials viewed through the Site.

All Rights Reserved. gOFFICE.com is owned and operated by Silveroffice, Inc.

3. Trademarks Silveroffice, gOFFICE and others are either trademarks or registered trademarks of Silveroffice, Inc. Other product and company names mentioned on the Site may be trademarks of their respective owners.

4. Limited Right to Use The viewing, printing or downloading of any content, graphic, form or document from the Site grants you only a limited, nonexclusive license for use solely by you for your own personal use and not for republication, distribution, assignment, sublicense, sale, preparation of derivative works or other use.

If you use the text in our sample text library, you do so at your own risk. We are not providing legal advice or any other kind of advice. You should assume the samples are wrong until you independently prove to yourself that they are acceptable. The text in the sample text library is for the most part not written by us - we license some of it, but from parties that offer no certification that the material is correct or current. Other sample text is simply donated to us by anonymous strangers, and posted on the site immediately with no review or editing. This is similar to a Use Net newsgroup in that all the burden is on you to be sure the material is OK to use. If you are uncomfortable with any of this risk, please do not use our sample text library.

5. Editing, Deleting and Modification We reserve the right in our sole discretion to edit or delete any documents, information or other content appearing on the Site.

6. Indemnification You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us and our partners, attorneys, staff and affiliates (collectively, "Affiliated Parties") harmless from any liability, loss, claim and expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, related to your violation of this Agreement or use of the Site.

7. Nontransferable Your right to use the Site is not transferable. Any password or right given to you to obtain information or documents is not transferable, with the exception that if you create a PDF document and assign a document number to it, and choose to require a password to retrieve that document text, you may distribute that password to others. Note that this password is not the password to your account with us. This is a separate password that you may optionally assign to each document that you create.

These statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are subject to significant uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. When used on our Site, words like "anticipates," "expects," "believes," "estimates," "seeks," "plans," "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements designed to fall within securities law safe harbors for forward-looking statements.

If you decide to leave our Site and access these third-party sites, you do so at your own risk.

16. Copyrights and Copryright Agents We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask you to do the same.

17. Refund Policy We have a no refund policy, since we allow you to try out much of the site without charge before you sign up as a paying customer. We do not demand that you enter a long term contract, and you can cancel at any time. However, if you are desperately unhappy and plan to lodge a complaint with your credit card company, please contact us, and we will probably refund your money, since a chargeback to our merchant account will cost us more than a refund to you of the small amount we charge. This Section 17 sets forth your sole and exclusive right to refund and return.

18. Information and Press Releases The Site contains information and press releases about us. While this information was believed to be accurate as of the date prepared, we disclaim any duty or obligation to update this information or any press releases. Information about companies other than ours contained in the press release or otherwise, should not be relied upon as being provided or endorsed by us.

19. Miscellaneous This Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in San Francisco, California USA and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA (without regard to conflict of law principles). Any cause of action by you with respect to the Site (and/or any information, products or services related thereto) must be instituted within one (1) year after the cause of action arose or be forever waived and barred. All actions shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 and Section 10. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted as to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party. All legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought solely in San Francisco, California, USA. You expressly submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of said courts and consents to extra-territorial service of process. Should any part of this Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent that anything in or associated with the Site is in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement, this Agreement shall take precedence. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision.

20. Age You must be at least 18 years old to become a paid customer of this website.

21. Items To Be Incorporated Above Do not type your US Social Security Number, your US Drivers License or Indentification Card number, or your credit card number anywhere on this site, unless specifically requested to do so. For example, do not compose a letter where you type the non-permitted information. We use SSL encryption when we solicit your username, password and credit card details, but not for other interactions, so do not type extraordinarily information into this site. Note that certain features of this site rely on regular Internet email. For example, when you ask us to e-mail, fax or print and send by postal mail a document or presentation, your document will travel by regular Internet email. All the security risks inherent in e-mail apply. We use a third party company to fax from this site, and we get the files to them by regular email. That third party site may have the technical ability to read your documents, but is in the business of sending numerous faxes for numerous customers. We have the right to review your use of this site, including but not limited to studying your usage patterns and reviewing your documents and other material you may prepare with this site. We do this with significant care and sensitivity, and anyone that reviews any client text does so only under a written confidentiality agreement. Forms and Documents. The forms, documents, checklists, presentations, agreements and publications thereof (collectively, the "Forms") contained on this site are samples only, and may not be appropriate under the circumstances for any particular transaction. The Forms may contain bugs, errors, problems, or other limitations. The specifics of a given situation may require provisions not contemplated in the Forms. Requirements for the validity of a Form may also vary greatly from state to state and country to country. Laws change rapidly and may be interpreted differently in various jurisdictions. No representations, warranties or guarantees whatsoever are made as to the accuracy, currentness, completeness, adequacy, reliability, suitability, or applicability of any Form to a particular situation. Each Form should be treated as a starting point and should not substitute for professional legal analysis. This site is provided and each Form is licensed with the understanding and agreement that Silveroffice, Inc. and the Authors are not engaged in rendering legal, accounting or other professional services. If legal or other expert assistance is required, the services of a competent professional should be sought. You assume all responsibility and obligation with respect to any decisions or advice made or given as a result of the use of any Form and for the selection of a Form to achieve your intended result. All responsibility or liability for any damages caused by viruses contained within the electronic file containing the Forms is disclaimed.

This statement will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and our customers' needs.

1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide

Email Information

In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners, if you choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.

2. Web Site Use Information

Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. Some of this information is associated with you as an individual.

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?

Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you product and service offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers’ personal information. You may notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s Web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized. This website is largely non-functional without cookies, and if you choose to turn off cookies, then you are not permitted to use this website.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?

We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server logs to gather information about our Web site users’ browsing activities, in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. This information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers.

Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our Web site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site’s visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you without your knowledge, although they do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses to you.

Sharing Information with Affiliates

From time to time you may notice offers from outside companies advertised on our Web site. We take measures to select product or service providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers. However, we cannot make any representations about the practices and policies of these companies.

Notice of New Services and Changes

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our client, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking on a response box when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email request at optout@goffice.com.

How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?

 When you send confidential personal credit card information to us on our Web site, a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it

reaches our Web site. Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

Information Security. We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.

Evaluation of Information Protection Practices.

Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our information.

Employee Access, Training and Expectations.

Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of customer information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.

How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?

You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing correctpersonaldata@goffice.com .

Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?

We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, Web site traffic patterns and related Web site information to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information will not include personally identifying data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.

What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?

We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.

What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.

Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

Your Consent

By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
