Camp Fire National Headquarters (Camp Fire) provides its service to you, subject to the following Terms of Service (TOS), which may be updated from time to time without notice to its users. When using particular site services, users and Camp Fire shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

Camp Fire currently provides users with access to a rich collection of online resources, including various communications tools, online forums, shopping services, and personalized content through its network of properties (the “Service”). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Camp Fire properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided “AS-IS” and that Camp Fire assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web (WWW), either directly or through devices that access Web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the WWW, including a computer and modem or other access device.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or Camp Fire has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Camp Fire has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof) by you.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

7. SPECIAL ADMONITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL USE
