INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS.

MAKING A PURCHASE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THESE TERMS
AND CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THEM. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF

1. Purchases

To purchase any virtual good or service available through hi5, you must be a registered hi5 User and
comply with these Terms of Sale (including the Terms of Service). You acknowledge that you are
responsible for maintaining the security of, and restricting access to, your account and password, and you
agree to accept responsibility for all purchases and other activities that occur under your account. If you
are under 18, you may make purchases on hi5 only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. hi5
reserves the right to refuse or cancel orders or terminate accounts, at any time in its sole discretion.

2. Payment

By submitting an order for hi5 Coins through hi5, you authorize hi5, or its designated payment
processors, to charge the account you specify for the purchase amount. All prices we show on the hi5 Site
are subject to change without notice. When you provide your payment information, including any credit
card number, to us or our designated payment processors, you authorize us or our designated payment
processors to store payment information and other related information.
3. Taxes

You will be responsible for any applicable sales or use taxes, duties, or other governmental taxes or fees
payable in connection with your purchase of hi5 Coins. If you do not pay such sales or other tax or fee on
a transaction, you will be responsible for such taxes or fees in the event that they are later determined to
be payable on such purchases, and hi5 reserves the right to collect such taxes or other fees from you at
any time.

4. hi5 Coins

In its sole discretion, hi5 may offer you the opportunity to obtain and redeem hi5's virtual currency (“hi5
Coins”) for use on the hi5 Site. Hi5 may charge fees for the right to use hi5 Coins, or may distribute the
hi5 Coins without charge, each in hi5’s sole discretion. When you redeem hi5 Coins, hi5 will redeem hi5
Coins that you have purchased before redeeming hi5 Coins that you have obtained on a promotional
basis, or otherwise without charge. We have no obligation to continue offering any feature or function on
the hi5 Site, including any feature or function that enables the use or redemption of hi5 Coins.

Your hi5 Coins will be stored in an account for you. The hi5 Coins may be redeemed solely by hi5 on the
hi5 Site, cannot be transferred to any other User, cannot be redeemed for cash, and are non-refundable
except (i) as required by law or (ii) at hi5’s sole and absolute discretion. We may further restrict your
ability to redeem your hi5 Coins based on your place of residence. For clarification, although you may
buy hi5Coins via mobile services, the hi5 Coins are not redeemable for content or services offered by any
carrier.

While the hi5 Coins you purchase do not expire, you acknowledge and agree that if your account
becomes Inactive, hi5 may, without further notice to you, redeem all hi5 Coins remaining in your account
for any Virtual Goods hi5 selects, in its sole discretion, and distribute such Virtual Goods to your
"friends" (and, if you have no "friends" to any other users that hi5 may identify, in its sole discretion).
For purposes of this Section, the term "Inactive" means that, based on hi5's records: (a) for a period of
two (2) years, or more, you have not logged into your hi5 account; or (b) hi5 has been unable to reach you
to verify that you intend to continue use of your account.

If you terminate your hi5 account pursuant to these Terms of Sale or the hi5 Terms of Service, your
ability to redeem the hi5 Coins may also be terminated, without any right to refund or any other
compensation for you. For purposes of clarification and not limitation, if you cancel your hi5 account,
hi5’s offering of hi5 Coins, and your ability to redeem the hi5 Coins, may also be terminated, without any
right to compensation for you. When we cancel or terminate access to your hi5 Coins account balance,
your right to use your hi5 Coins account balance immediately ceases.
Further, we may suspend or otherwise limit your access to your hi5 Coins if we suspect, in our sole
discretion, fraudulent, abusive or unlawful activity associated with your account. When we suspend or
limit access to your hi5 Coins account balance, your right to use your hi5 Coins account balance
immediately ceases.

We may limit your use of the hi5 Coins service by applying limits to: the number of hi5 Coins you may
have credited to your hi5 Coins account balance at one time; the number of hi5 Coins you may redeem
within a given time period (for example, one day); the number of promotional hi5 Coins you may obtain
in a single event; and other features and uses determined by us in our sole discretion.

If we post hi5 Coins to your account for an activity that is subsequently voided or canceled or that
involves a returned item, then we will remove those hi5 Coins from your account. You must ensure that
we properly post your hi5 Coins to your hi5 Coins account. If you believe that you have validly acquired
hi5 Coins that we have not posted to your hi5 Coins account, we will not consider posting these hi5 Coins
unless you contact us within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date you claimed to have acquired
those hi5 Coins. We may require reasonable documentation to support your claim.

5. Virtual Goods

In its sole discretion, hi5 may offer you the opportunity to redeem hi5 Coins for certain virtual items and
services (“Virtual Goods”) through the hi5 Site as part of our offering of the Services (as defined in the
Terms of Service). As part of these Services, and subject to the Terms of Service and these Terms of
Sale, hi5 grants you a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Virtual Goods through the
hi5 Site. Regardless of the use of the terms "purchase," "buy," "sell," "order" or the like on the hi5 Site or
in these Terms of Sale, you do not own any Virtual Goods and acknowledge that you have only the
foregoing license to the Virtual Goods. All use of the Virtual Goods is for your personal, non-commercial
use only. hi5 will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Virtual Goods you have purchased
available for use within a reasonable period of time after purchase. Upon termination of these Terms of
Sale under the hi5 Terms of Service, hi5’s offering of Virtual Goods may also be cancelled, without any
right to compensation for you. For purposes of clarification and not limitation, if you violate hi5’s Terms
of Service or cancel your hi5 account, hi5’s offering of Virtual Goods, and your license to any Virtual
Goods, may also be cancelled, without any right to compensation for you. If you have any questions
about Virtual Goods, please contact customer support.

The existence of a particular Virtual Good available for redemption with hi5 Coins is not a commitment
by us to maintain or continue to make the particular Virtual Good available in the future. hi5 may revise,
discontinue, or modify Virtual Goods at any time without notification to you. hi5 shall have no liability of
any kind if a product or service that you have ordered is unavailable. If necessary, hi5 reserves the right to
substitute items of equal or greater value when an item or service is unavailable or hi5 may cancel your
purchase.

The length of time you may have access to Virtual Goods you purchase will be determined by hi5 in its
sole discretion. The images and other content included as part of Virtual Goods is part of the hi5
Intellectual Property (as defined in the hi5 Terms of Service) and is subject to all terms and conditions
regarding such Intellectual Property as set forth in the Terms of Service. In addition, any message or other
content that you may include with Virtual Goods must comply with all terms and conditions regarding
Content as set forth in the Terms of Service. Without limiting any of the foregoing, neither you nor any
potential recipient of a Virtual Good may reproduce, distribute, transfer, modify or otherwise use Virtual
Goods in any manner other than as expressly authorized by hi5.

6. Errors

We attempt to be as accurate as possible and eliminate errors on hi5, however we do not warrant that any
product, service or description, photograph, pricing or other information is accurate, complete, reliable,
current, or error-free. In the event of an error, whether on the hi5 Site, in an order confirmation, in
processing an order, delivering a Virtual Good or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and
revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and
provide you with a merchandise or service credit (including issuing, at our option, hi5 Coins as described
above), with a value at least equal to the amount charged to your credit card. hi5 reserves the right to
determine and modify from time to time the exact nature of any such merchandise or service credit,
including conversion into one or more different types of merchandise or service credits. Your sole remedy
in the event of such error is to cancel your order and obtain a credit as set forth above. To request a credit,
send an email to VIPhelp@hi5.com. You release us from all liability and claims of loss resulting from
any error that you do not report to us within 120 days after the error first occurs. If you do not tell us
within this time, we will not be required to correct the error.
