By accessing this website, you are agreeing to be bound by the Unicom Systems Terms and Conditions of Use and the Privacy Policy below:

Unicom Systems Terms of Service and Conditions of Use 1. Your relationship with Unicom Systems 1.1 Your use of Unicom Systems' products, software, services and web sites (referred to collectively as the "Services" in this document and excluding any services provided to you by Unicom Systems under a separate written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Unicom Systems. "Unicom Systems" means Unicom Systems Inc., whose principal place of business is at 8011 Melburn Drive, Mission, British Columbia, Canada. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of that agreement. 1.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Unicom Systems, your agreement with Unicom Systems will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in this document. These are referred to below as the "Universal Terms". 1.3 Your agreement with Unicom Systems will also include the terms of any Legal Notices applicable to the Services, in addition to the Universal Terms. All of these are referred to below as the "Additional Terms". Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, that Service. 1.4 The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a legally binding agreement between you and Unicom Systems in relation to your use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the "Terms". 1.5 If there is any contradiction between what the Additional Terms say and what the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms shall take precedence in relation to that Service. 2. Accepting the Terms 2.1 In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the Terms. You may not use the Services if you do not accept the Terms. 2.2 You can accept the Terms by: (A) selecting an option to accept or agree to the Terms and then clicking, where this option is made available to you by Unicom Systems in the user interface for any Service; or (B) by actually using the Services. In this case, you understand and agree that Unicom Systems will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the Terms from that point onwards. 2.3 You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Unicom Systems, or (b) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of Canada or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services. 2.4 Before you continue, you should print off or save a local copy of the Universal Terms for your records. 3. Language of the Terms 3.1 Where Unicom Systems has provided you with a translation of the English language version of the Terms, then you agree that the translation is provided for your convenience only and that the English language versions of the Terms will govern your relationship with Unicom Systems. 3.2 If there is any contradiction between what the English language version of the Terms says and what a translation says, then the English language version shall take precedence. 4. Provision of the Services by Unicom Systems 4.1 Unicom Systems has, or may have, subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around the world ("Subsidiaries and Affiliates"). Sometimes, these companies will be providing the Services to you on behalf of Unicom Systems itself. You acknowledge and agree that Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be entitled to provide the Services to you. 4.2 Unicom Systems is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services which Unicom Systems provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. 4.3 As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Unicom Systems may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at Unicom Systems' sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Unicom Systems when you stop using the Services. 4.4 You acknowledge and agree that if Unicom Systems disables access to your account, you may be prevented from accessing the Services, your account details or any files or other content which is contained in your account. 4.5 You acknowledge and agree that while Unicom Systems may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through the Services or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of any Service, such fixed upper limits may be set by Unicom Systems at any time, at Unicom Systems' discretion. 5.
