1. Purpose of the Site; Creative Commons License.

(a) Purpose. Runes of Gallidon believes that creating, maintaining, and continually adding to a collection of ideas for the creative community can be an effective way to generate high-quality, interesting, and dynamic works. That belief led us to create this Site and fantasy world, where Site visitors ("Visitors"), registered guests ("Guests"), registered paying members ("Patrons"), and artisans whose works have been accepted by Runes of Gallidon for publication on the Site under a separate Artisan Agreement ("Artisans") have an opportunity to play in a new world of creativity. You may participate in the Site as a Visitor, Guest or Patron or, if you submit content that we accept for publication on the Site as a Work under the Artisan Agreement, as an Artisan.

We publish works of authorship created by Runes of Gallidon or Artisans on the Site (each a "Work" and collectively, "Works"), as well as other content and materials provided on the Site or submitted by you or others for publication or posting on the Site, including, without limitation, any text, art work, graphics, photographs, images, screen shots, music, digitally downloadable files and video clips, forum and blog postings, wiki entries, all remarks, suggestions ideas, graphics, data, questions and other information and submissions communicated to Runes of Gallidon through the Site, by facsimile or through the mail (electronic or otherwise) (collectively, "Content").

4. Membership and Billing.

(a) Subscription Services. Some services offered on the Site are subscription-based services provided only to registered Patrons ("Subscription Services"). All references to the Site, and all terms and conditions applicable thereto, include reference to the Subscription Services. If you register as a Patron and open a subscription-based account with our Site, you hereby agree to pay all charges to your account, including applicable taxes, in accordance with billing terms in effect at the time the fee or charge becomes payable. We reserve the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges for services we provide, and to institute new fees, charges, or terms effective upon prior notice. Any changes to fees will apply on a prospective basis. If you do not agree to any such changes to fees, charges, or terms, your sole remedy will be to terminate your subscription. You will receive notice of any fee change at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the transaction and failure to cancel your account as set forth below will constitute acceptance of such fee change. You are solely responsible for and must provide all telephone and other equipment necessary to access the Service including without limitation Internet access software, modems and connectivity.

(b) Billing Service Company. Billing, account maintenance, account customer service, and other support functions for Subscription Services are provided by a third-party billing service provider (the "Billing Service Company") and not by Runes of Gallidon. By signing up for Subscription Services, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions imposed by the Billing Service Company, including its privacy policy, in addition to these Terms of Use. The Billing Service Company will be identified on the sign-up page for Subscription Services. We reserve the right to change the Billing Service Companies upon written notice to you.

(c) Account Requirements. You must have a valid credit card or be able to make payments via the Billing Service Company in order to sign up for Subscription Services. The person registering for the Subscription Service will be referred to as the "Patron" and will be given an account, which may not be transferred to or used by any parties other than the person who registered the account. The Patron must have reached the age of majority in the state in which he or she resides. By signing up for Subscription Services and accepting these Terms of Use, the Patron represents that he or she has reached the age of majority in the state in which he or she resides and is able to form a legally binding contract under applicable law. Please note that Runes of Gallidon is expressly relying on the Patron's representation that he or she has reached the age of majority; Runes of Gallidon would not enter this agreement for Subscription Services but for the representation that the Patron has reached the age of majority in the state in which he or she resides.

(d) Representations and Warranties and Indemnity. The Patron represents, warrants and covenants that (i) the credit card or other payment method ("Payment Method") provided is valid and the Patron is authorized to use such Payment Method; (ii) Runes of Gallidon or the Billing Service Company is authorized and may charge such Payment Method as set forth in the payment terms section below, including without limitation for automatic membership renewals and all additional charges that may be incurred; (iii) the Patron will at all times comply with these Terms of Use; and (iv) all registration data and other information submitted is complete, true, accurate and up-to-date, and the Patron will update all registration data and other information submitted as necessary to keep it current. Any fraudulent, abusive or otherwise illegal activity will be grounds for immediate termination of the Patron in Runes of Gallidon's sole discretion and may be reported to appropriate law enforcement agencies. The Patron will indemnify and hold Runes of Gallidon and the Billing Service harmless from any claims, losses, damages or liabilities arising out of any breach of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants.

(e) Accounts. By registering as a Guest, Patron or Artisan or making any submission to the Site for publication as a Work or Content or otherwise, you agree the information you provide must be accurate, current, and complete, and that you will keep it up-to-date. As part of the registration process, the Guest, Patron or Artisan will select a password and User ID ("User ID"). Runes of Gallidon reserves the right to cancel any User ID if in Runes of Gallidon's sole discretion the name is objectionable or offensive in any way or uses the intellectual property rights of any other person, or is used or capable of use for impersonating another person. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You agree not to share your username and password with anyone. Each user of Subscription Services must have their own personal account. Unauthorized provision of access to Subscription Services or any content provided as part of the Subscription Service is a violation of Runes of Gallidon's rights and will result in termination of your account and possible legal action. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure (for example, in the event of a loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of your ID, password, or any credit, debit or charge card number), you will immediately notify the Billing Service Company of the problem to avoid possible liability for any unauthorized charges to your account. All activities under your account are your responsibility, and you agree not to share or transfer your account. If you notice any unauthorized use of your account, contact us immediately (choose "Business Matters" in the pull-down menu) and tell us about it. Runes of Gallidon will not be responsible for any losses that you may incur as a result of someone else using your account, however you could be held liable by Runes of Gallidon or another party due to someone else using your account.

(f) Account Termination by Patron. You may terminate your Patron account at any time by not renewing the Subscription Services with the Billing Service Company or providing written notice of termination to Runes of Gallidon. If you do not agree to be bound by (or cannot comply with) any changes to the Terms of Use, your sole remedy is to cancel your subscription. Written notice of termination must be sent to:

Runes of Gallidon

Customer Service

P.O. Box 60037

Pasadena, CA 91116

(g) No Refunds. All fees paid for any subscription term are paid in advance and are not refundable in whole or in part, regardless of termination for any reason. If you have a balance due on any Runes of Gallidon account, you agree that Runes of Gallidon can charge these unpaid fees to the Payment Method that you have provided. You will not be entitled to a refund during service outages that are caused by our maintenance on the servers or the technology that underlies the Subscription Service, failures of our service providers (including telecommunications, hosting and power providers), computer viruses, natural disasters or other destruction or damage of our facilities, an act of God, war, civil disturbance or other cause beyond our control.

(h) Automatic Renewal. Please Note: Your Subscription will be automatically renewed and your credit card account (or other Payment Method account) will be charged as follows without further authorization from you:

(i) Every month for monthly subscriptions.

(ii) Every three months for three month subscriptions.

(iii) Such other periodic rate you have selected from among other options that may be offered by Runes of Gallidon.

(iv) The renewal fee shall be equal to the original signup price, unless otherwise notified in advance of the renewal date that the price will be different. For annual subscriptions, you will have thirty (30) days after the date that any renewal fee is posted to your Payment Method account to give notice that you want to cancel your subscription, and the subscription will be cancelled upon receipt of such notification and a credit will be posted to your Payment Method account equal to the latest renewal fee charged. For monthly accounts or other accounts with a periodic subscription cycle of less than one year, there are no refunds for cancellations. For monthly subscriptions, you must notify the Billing Service Company at least 15 days prior to the first day of the next calendar month to avoid being charged the renewal fee for such month. For all other subscriptions, you must notify the Billing Service Company at least 15 days prior to the first day of the next subscription period to avoid being charged the renewal fee for such subscription period.

(v) Authorization to charge your Payment Method account will remain in effect until you notify the Billing Service Company (in writing upon request) of termination of this authorization or of a change to your selected Payment Method; provided that such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Billing Service Company could reasonably act. Your non-termination or continued use reaffirms that authorization to charge your Payment Method. You are required to keep your billing account information current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number or expiration date) and notify the Billing Service Company if your Payment Method is cancelled (e.g., for loss or theft). If you fail to provide the foregoing information, you agree that you will continue to be charged for any product or services on your account unless you have terminated your subscription. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you ordered the applicable product or service. You agree that charges may be accumulated as incurred and may be submitted as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of the applicable billing cycle.

(i) Payment Method; Account Termination or Suspension. You agree to make payment using the selected Payment Method. You agree that the Billing Service Company has the right to correct any errors or mistakes in your billing even if it has already requested or received payment, including without limitation billing you for any applicable taxes regardless whether such amounts were previously itemized on your bill. Your right to use the Subscription Service is subject to any financial limits that may be established from time to time by Runes of Gallidon, the Billing Service Company, or by your credit card issuer, financial institution or other provider of your chosen payment method. If payment cannot be charged to your Payment Method or your charge is returned for any reason, including without limitation chargeback, Runes of Gallidon and/or the Billing Service Company reserve the right to either suspend or terminate your access and account without notice, thereby terminating these Terms of Use and all obligations of Runes of Gallidon hereunder.
