If you do not agree to accept and abide by this Membership Agreement and the Terms of Use, you should not access or use the membership portions of the Site. In the event of any inconsistency between this Membership Agreement and the Terms of Use, the terms of this Membership Agreement shall govern.

Chronos reserves the right, in its discretion, to change or modify all or any part of this Membership Agreement at any time, effective immediately upon notice published on the Site. Your continued use of the membership portions of the Site after such notice constitutes your binding acceptance of the terms and conditions in this Membership Agreement, including any changes or modifications made by Chronos as permitted above.

Terms of Purchase. Digital media content products can be purchased online from the Site with VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. The price of such products purchased through the Site will be the price specified in the Site at the time of your purchase. Upon presentation of credit card information the purchaser warrants that he/she is the cardholder and that the billing information provided is accurate.

You acknowledge that the Site contains or may contain information, software, photo images, graphics, illustrations, video files, animations, Flash files, data files, code snippets and other material (collectively, "Content") which is protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights of Chronos and its affiliates or other third parties (including other members).

You may not modify, publish, transmit, transfer or sell, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, reverse engineer or in any way exploit any of the Content, in whole or in part, except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Membership Agreement and any other agreement entered into at the time such Content was downloaded or purchased (such as a Content License Agreement).

You acknowledge and agree that you will be responsible for each and every access or use of the membership portions of the Site that occurs in conjunction with your Member Name and such passwords, and that Chronos is authorized to accept your Member Name and password as conclusive evidence that you have accessed or utilized the membership portions of the Site.

Chronos may change, suspend or discontinue all or any aspect of the Site at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or Content, without prior notice or liability.

Chronos may also terminate or suspend your access to the membership portions of the Site for inactivity, which is defined as failing to access the membership portions of the Site for an extended period of time, as reasonably determined by Chronos.

Termination of this Membership Agreement shall operate without prejudice to the Chronos’ rights, defenses and limitations of liability provided under this Membership Agreement, which rights, defenses and limitations of liability shall survive termination of this Membership Agreement.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. THE SITE, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Applicable law. The Site is controlled, operated and administered by Chronos from within Utah, United States. The Site can be accessed from all states in the United States, as well as from other countries around the world.

You hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Fourth Judicial District for Wasatch County, State of Utah, and the federal courts of Utah with respect to the subject matter of this Membership Agreement. This Membership Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.

You consent to service of any required notice or process upon you by email, registered mail or overnight courier with proof of delivery notice, addressed to the address or contact information provided by you at the time you are first granted access to the membership portions of the Site, or such other address as you may advise us in writing to use, from time to time.

Any and all disputes arising out of, under or in connection with this Membership Agreement, including without limitation, its validity, interpretation, performance and breach, shall be submitted to arbitration in Heber, Utah, pursuant to the rules of the Utah Uniform Arbitration Action in effect at the time arbitration is demanded.

If Chronos is obligated to go to court, rather than arbitration, to enforce any of its rights, or to collect any fees, you agree to reimburse Chronos for its legal fees, costs and disbursements if Chronos is successful.

Chronos’ failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Membership Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

This Membership Agreement is personal to you and is not assignable by you without Chronos’ prior written consent. Chronos may assign this Membership Agreement without your consent to any other party so long as such party agrees to be bound by its terms.
