Terms and Conditions

SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT AND TERMS OF USE

The following terms govern your use of World Tea News Web site and, unless other terms and conditions expressly govern, any other electronic services from World Tea News and World Tea Media that may be made available from time to time (each, “Service”; collectively, “Services”).

If you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, you should click on the "I AGREE" button following this Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, you should click "I DISAGREE." If you click "I DISAGREE," you will not be able to proceed with the registration process for the respective service and become a subscriber. To the extent you have access to, or are using, a service without having completed our registration process or clicked on an "I AGREE" button, you are hereby notified that your continued use of the service is subject to many of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1. Changes to Subscriber Agreement. We may change the terms of this Agreement at any time by notifying you of the change in writing or electronically (including, without limitation, by email or by posting a notice on the Service that the terms have been updated). The changes also will appear in this document, which you can access at any time by going to http://www.worldteanews.com/XXXXX. You signify that you agree to be bound by such changes by using a Service after changes are made to this Agreement.

2. Privacy and Your Account. Registration data and other information about you are subject to our Privacy Policy. For the full policy, click here {insert link}.

3. Fees and Payments. You agree to pay the subscription fees and any other charges incurred in connection with your user name and password for a Service (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. If your subscription includes access to areas containing premium content or services, your access to such areas may be subject to additional fees, terms and conditions, which will be separately disclosed in such areas. We will bill all charges automatically to your credit card. Subscription fees will be billed at the beginning of your subscription or any renewal. Unless we state in writing otherwise, all fees and charges are nonrefundable. We may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. If you want to use a different credit card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, or if you believe someone has accessed a Service using your user name and password without your authorization, you must notify us by telephone, mail or e-mail. You are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access a Service through an Internet access provider or other third-party service.

4. Renewal. Your subscription will renew automatically, unless we terminate it or you notify us by telephone, mail or e-mail (receipt of which must be confirmed by e-mail reply from us) of your decision to terminate your subscription. For annual subscriptions, we will notify you of the pending renewal of your subscription at least 30 days prior to the date your subscription renews, except as otherwise required by law. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card.

5. Limitations on Use. Only one individual may access a Service at a time using the same user name or password, unless we agree otherwise.

The text, graphics, images, video, metadata, design, organization, compilation, look and feel, advertising and all other protectable intellectual property (the "Content") available through the Services are our property or the property of our advertisers and licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Unless you have our written consent, you may not sell, publish, distribute, retransmit or otherwise provide access to the Content received through our Services to anyone, including, if applicable, your fellow students or employees, with the following exceptions:

You may occasionally distribute a copy of an article, or a portion of an article, from a Service in non-electronic form to a few individuals without charge, provided you include all copyright and other proprietary rights notices in the same form in which the notices appear in the Service, original source attribution, and the phrase "Used with permission of World Tea News" or "Used with permission of World Tea Media" as appropriate. Please consult our Permission to Reprint {insert link} policy if you need to distribute Content from a Service to a larger number of individuals, on a regular basis or in any other manner not expressly permitted by this Agreement.

You may occasionally use our "E-mail this" service to e-mail an article from a Service to a few individuals, without charge. You are not permitted to use this service for the purpose of regularly providing other users with access to content from a Service.

While you may download, store and create an archive of articles from the Service for your personal use, you may not otherwise provide access to such an archive to more than a few individuals on an occasional basis.
