Balloon HQ – Membership Agreement

Balloon HQ, LLC will provide, at a minimum, URL and e-mail forwarding to
one URL and one e-mail address provided by each paying member for the time
period specified when the account is created. Ability to post classfied ads
and special events will also be given to all members. Other services may
be offered for no additional charge during the defined period at the
discretion of Balloon HQ, LLC.

In return for this service, the subscriber agrees to follow certain
guidelines. We expect BHQ subscribers to help maintain the reputation of
the services we offer. For that reason, we ask that content on pages we
point to from BHQ addresses abide by all copyright and other applicable
laws and that all sites directly reachable from the BHQ member directory be
family-friendly sites.

Any complaints we receive regarding the content on a member’s site will be
discussed directly with the member in question. In the event that
Balloon HQ and the member are unable to resolve the issue, membership will
be terminated.

Any unsolicited bulk email (spam) sent with a return address on Balloon HQ
will result in immediate termination of membership.

If any changes to these rules are made, all members will be notified
of the changes immediately via email.

third-party information providers, merchants or licensors, for
