2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
This Agreement is your entire agreement with Company and governs your use of the Services. There may be additional terms and
conditions if you use affiliate services, other Company services or products, or third-party software and/or services. To be a
member, and receive Services you must not be a minor or, if you are a minor but you are at least 13 years old, have your account
created and registered for you by your parent or guardian or have received permission from a parent or legal guardian to enter
into this Agreement and register for and use the Services after you have reviewed the terms and conditions of this Agreement with
him or her and discussed any questions that you may have. Further, you may only become a member if you live in a country or other
political division that permits membership. This Agreement will be void and without effect, and you will not be entitled to any
Services, if you do not satisfy these requirements. By continuing with the registration process, you represent that you are of
majority age or, if you are a minor, that your account was created and registered by your parent or guardian or that you have
received your parent(s) or legal guardian's permission to register for and use the Services under the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and your parent or legal guardian has joined you in executing this Agreement. Further, if you are a parent who is
registering for a child, you hereby agree to bind your child to these terms and to fully indemnify and hold harmless Makena if
your child breaches or disaffirms this Agreement.
Upon completing the registration process, you will select a password and Company will set up an account that is uniquely associated with your membership. All of your access to Services will be
through that account, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. The Services may include access to Company's online environment ("There Environment"). In the There Environment, you will be
able to interact with other members and online constructs that may include people, objects, or sub-environments ("There Objects"); your interactions with There Objects will be through a There Object
that you create (an "Avatar") and will be governed by the Behavior Guidelines of the There Environment.
You agree to comply with the limits set on your account by your type of membership. You further agree to comply with all the Behavior Guidelines
for creation and use of Avatars, There Objects and the There Environment. Failure to comply with these Behavior Guidelines may result in termination of your accounts and membership without any prior warning or
notice. There Objects will often have names similar or identical to corresponding physical categories such as "people," "real estate," "possessions," and the names of specific items in those categories such as "house,"
"ball," "table," "drink," and so forth. Despite the similar names, all There Objects are part of the There Environment and Company retains all rights, title, and interest in all parts of the There
Environment, including, but not limited to Avatars and There Objects; these retained rights include, without limitation, patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other proprietary rights
throughout the world. As part of your interactions with the There Environment, you may acquire, create, design or modify There Objects, but you agree that you will not gain any ownership interest
whatsoever in any There Objects or There Environment, and you hereby assign to Company all of your rights, title and interest in any such There Objects. You further agree not to: (i) reverse
engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying structure of the There Environment; or, (ii) copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, sell, barter, lend, lease or
time-share any part of the There Environment except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Behavior Guidelines for the There Environment. .
As a member you are responsible for all activity on your account and any other accounts associated with your account, including without limitation, through billing method or IP address
("Associated Accounts"). Violations or warnings accrued by your account can lead to termination of your account or any Associated Accounts. Because you are responsible for all use of your
account and Associated Accounts, you must supervise the use of your account and any Associated Accounts by others. It is important that you not reveal your password to others. You agree
not to reveal your password to others and you agree to indemnify and hold Company harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account or any Associated Accounts. This includes illegal
or improper use by someone to whom you have given permission to use your account or any Associated Accounts. Your account or any Associated Accounts may be terminated if you let someone
use it inappropriately. If your account or membership is terminated for any reason, Company is under no obligation to offer the Services or another membership to you or any person with
an Associated Account in the future. If your account or any Associated Accounts in a specific virtual environment owned, operated and/or controlled by Company is terminated or suspended
by Company, Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend your accounts or Associated Accounts in any other virtual environment(s) owned, operated and/or controlled by Company.

You must use a credit card or an approved payment method to pay for your subscription. When you provide credit card information or other payment method information to Company, you represent and warrant

to promptly notify Company of any changes to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address, and you agree to promptly notify Company if your credit card expires or is canceled for any
reason.
Charges to Your Credit Card
Your subscription fees are payable in advance and are not refundable in whole or in part except as provided below in the Discontinuation of Service Section. Company reserves the right to change our fees or
billing methods at any time. If your membership program includes recurring monthly fees, Company will provide you with notice of a change to such recurring monthly fees. You will be notified via email at least thirty
(30) days in advance. Your continued use of the Services for thirty (30) days after notification of the changes to the recurring monthly fees means that you accept said changes. If any change is unacceptable to you,
you may cancel your membership or a particular subscription at any time, but Company will not refund any fees that may have accrued to your account before cancellation of your membership or subscription, and we
will not prorate fees for any subscription. If your use of the Service is subject to use or sales tax, then Company may also charge you for any such taxes, in addition to the subscription or other fees.
