Providence, 31.07.2013

These Rules of Use form part of your agreement with us.

PLEASE NOTE: It is important that you read and understand all the Rules of Use. However, there are a few key points that we want to highlight:

Compliance with legislation. We do not accept any liability for any content transmitted and full responsibility for content shall rest on you. You must observe all relevant legislation and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction and in the jurisdiction of all persons to whom you direct communications when using our services. By using our services you also agree to be bound by the Rules of Use. We do not modify the content of electronic communications sent or received through our systems or the selection of the addresses of the recipients. However, where a service requires opt-out wording in an electronic communication, we may insert such wording without any other modification to content and without incurring any liability.

Defending complaints from regulatory authorities. You shall be responsible for answering and defending any complaints that we receive from any regulatory body resulting from your use of any of our services. We will forward any complaints to you as soon as practical. You must follow the applicable complaint procedures and respond to each complaint within the timeframes specified by the relevant regulatory body or us and must forward a copy of your response to us immediately. You will be liable for any fines or penalties imposed by any regulatory body on you or us or any of our associated companies, due to your contravention of these Terms.

Indemnity. You agree to hold ARTIO and our suppliers harmless and to indemnify ARTIO, our associated companies, and our respective officers, directors, employees, agents and suppliers fully against all damages, awards, penalties or legal costs claimed or imposed by any party as a result of any action, commission or omission by you that constitutes a breach or contravention of these terms, any applicable legislation, regulations, industry code of conduct or mobile network code of practice or acceptable usage policy.
