offered by Slothster include any Slothster-branded URL (the "Slothster Website"), Slothster

connection with Slothster's business (collectively, the "Slothster Services"). All services
provided by Slothster are currently hosted in the United States.
This Terms of Use Agreement, as may be modified from time to time, ("Agreement") constitutes
legally binding terms and applies to your use of the Slothster Services. By accessing and/or
using the Slothster Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a
"Visitor" (which means that you simply browse the Slothster Services, including, without
limitation, through a mobile or other wireless device, or otherwise use the Slothster Services
without being registered) or you are a "Member" (which means that you have registered with
Slothster). The term "User" refers to a Visitor or a Member. You are authorized to use the

modifications will apply prospectively only. Your continued use of the Slothster Services
following any such modification constitutes your agreement to be bound by and your acceptance
of the Agreement as so modified. It is therefore important that you review this Agreement
regularly. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement and to abide by all Applicable
Law, you must discontinue use of the Slothster Services immediately.
