Minors under the age of 18 may not register for the Website without the permission and supervision of a responsible legal guardian. You agree that the information you supply during that registration process will be accurate and complete and that you will not register under the name of, nor attempt to use this Website under the name of, another person. You will be responsible for preserving the confidentiality of your password and will notify us of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your account. You agree to comply with all applicable local, state, and national laws.

As part of the subscription process for this Website, you have selected or been assigned a particular username and password in accordance with RASB's username and password guidelines. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL ENTITLED TO ACCESS THE SITE USING YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO PERMIT OTHERS TO ACCESS THE SITE USING YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD. You agree that all actions taken by you, or any other user that accesses the Website using your username and password, at or through the Website will be attributed to and legally bind you, even with respect to acts for which the user had no actual authority or made an error. You assume all resulting liability from use of the Website and any services available on it by you or others using your username or password. If you lose your username or password, please contact us at: support@ProfitShip.com.

Consent to Electronic Notices and Other Communications.

You agree that all of your transactions relating to the Website may, at our option, be conducted electronically, including any that we are otherwise required to provide in "writing". For example, we may send you notices via postings at the Website or via email to any email address that you provide to us during registration as a Website member. If you do not wish to deal with us electronically, you should not use the Website or enter into this Agreement. If applicable law now or later requires us to communicate with you non-electronically, we reserve the right to charge a fee for doing so. Notice will be deemed given 24 hours after the email is sent, unless (for email only) we are notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, we may give you notice by mail to the address provided during registration.

Billing, Fees, and Payment.

Membership to the Website is billed on a monthly basis. There are multiple levels of membership, namely, Skipper, Captain and Admiral with various monthly subscription rates. You agree to pay or have paid all fees and charges incurred in connection with your username and password for the Website (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred.

Your credit card will be processed by RASB in accordance with your selected level of membership and will appear on your statement as a monthly charge by RASB. By clicking "I Accept", I hereby authorize RASB to charge your designated credit card for the amount indicated. You also authorize the monthly subscription payments indicated on your order form. You are responsible for ensuring that the address and email you provide on the form, is accurate and deliverable. Once payment is successfully processed, you will receive an email, at the address you provided on the form, with your login information for the membership area of the Website.

Your subscription will continue and renew automatically, unless terminated by RASB or until you provide RASB with written notice of your decision to terminate your subscription before the relevant period begins.

Your first monthly membership charge is covered by a 30-day money back guarantee. All other fees and charges are nonrefundable. RASB may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. All fees and charges incurred in connection with your username and password will be billed to the credit card designated during the registration process for the Website or subsequently designated by you to RASB. If you want to designate a different card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, or if you believe someone has accessed the Website using your username and password without your authorization, you may email us at support@ProfitShip.com. You are also responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access the Website through an Internet service provider or other third party service. YOU, AND NOT RASB, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU SHALL HAVE NO OWNERSHIP OR OTHER PROPERTY INTEREST IN AN ACCOUNT, AND YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ALL RIGHTS IN AND TO AN ACCOUNT ARE AND SHALL FOREVER BE OWNED BY AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF US.

You are responsible for adhering to such limitations if you download the materials. You acknowledge that RASB reserves the right to edit or remove any content, in whole or in part, at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. You also acknowledge that RASB may preserve and/or store your account and any information provided by you, including any content, messages or materials posted or uploaded to any Communication Service, and may also disclose such information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce this Agreement; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of RASB, its users, and the public.

This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such content on the Website and will terminate at the time you remove or RASB removes such content from the Website. With respect to any other content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Website, the perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such content into other works in any format or medium now known or later developed.

"Publicly accessible" areas of the Website are those areas of the Website that are intended by RASB to be available to the general public.

Content that consists of or contains software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, and/or any form of "spam" is prohibited. You may not use a false email or postal address, impersonate any person or entity, and/or otherwise mislead as to the origin of your posted content.

Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information that constitutes part of the content expressed or made available by third parties are those of the respective authors or distributors and not of the Website, the Company or the Company's affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and/or agents. You acknowledge that RASB does not pre-screen all content, but that RASB and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or move any content that is made available via the Communication Services. Without limiting the foregoing, RASB and its designees shall have the right to remove any content that violates this Agreement, the Website's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Social Media Policy, and/or other applicable policies, is otherwise objectionable. You specifically agree that RASB is not responsible for any content sent using and/or included on the Website by any third party.

We reserve the right to deny access to any Communications Website to anyone who violates this Agreement. We will comply with the requirements of the law regarding disclosure of any messages to others, including law enforcement agencies.

The foregoing is intended to be in addition to, and in no way, shape, or form a replacement of the Company's intellectual property rights as stated in the Website's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and/or other applicable policies.

You acknowledge and agree that such email messages may contain viruses, worms, and/or other harmful components. You also acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for screening the email messages and attachments for viruses, worms, and/or other harmful components.
