Terms of Service and Use Agreement

Copyright © 2004 - 2010  Cell Pages All rights reserved.

PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF SERVICE AND USE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE CELLPAGES SITE. BY USING THIS WEB SITE, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OFFERED ON THIS WEB SITE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL POLICIES, GUIDELINES AND AGREEMENTS INCORPORATED HEREIN. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU MAY NOT USE THE CELLPAGES SITE.

Introduction.  Welcome to Cellpages.com the free cellphone number directory website. Cellpages.com (the "WEBSITE") is owned by Cell Pages (the "OWNER"), who is extending the services described herein; via the website, by which means these services are made available. For the purpose of this agreement the "WEBSITE" and the "OWNER" shall be referred to as "Cellpages".

Registration.  To ensure your security Cellpages employs a "Confirmed Opt-In (also called double opt-in)" enrollment system. Confirmed Opt-In is the process by which each new member is sent an "authentication" text-message requesting that he or she confirm the intention to list. Affirmative action must be taken to activate the subscription. This process is often called "double opt-in" by marketers. The logic is the recipient must perform two actions to join a list. Many in the anti-spam community call it "confirmed opt-in," considering closed-loop confirmation an absolute requirement of opt-in. The reasoning is without confirmation (by email, text-message, or other assured mechanism) the opt-in request is unsafe and unreliable. Conversely; with conformation the opt-in request is safe and reliable.

As a potential user and/or "Registered member" of Cellpages, you understand and agree to the following: (i) to register, you must submit a valid cellphone number and e-mail address and create a password during the registration process; (ii) you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and password, and all uses of your account, regardless of whether or not you've authorized such use; (iii) you agree to notify Cellpages immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

Good Faith Registration Period.  As a potential "Registered member" of Cellpages, you understand and agree that you may not and will not join in membership with Cellpages, access membership priviledges and subsequently terminate your membership within thirty (30) days of your initial registration date. Therefore, you understand and agree that although you may unlist at any time, in accord with this policy your listing information will not be removed until this thirty day Good Faith Registration Period is fulfilled.

Term.  This Agreement will remain in full effect, unless otherwise stated by Cellpages, its affiliates or Joint Ventures while using any/or all of the Web site services and/or are a Registered member. You may terminate your membership at any time, for any reason by simply logging-in and selecting unlist from the Members drop-down menu. Cellpages may terminate your membership for any reason, at any time. If Cellpages terminates your membership in the Service because you have breached the Agreement, you will not be entitled to any refund of unused subscription fees if such fees are applicable. This Agreement shall remain in effect indefinitely, including post termination of membership.

Additionally, Members will have the ability to make any of their personal contact information, with the exception of certain required fields, either "Public", "Restricted" or "Private". If you (a member) make a field "Public" it will be available to any Cellpages member who may use the service; if "Restricted", it will be available to only those Cellpages members to whom your restrictions are designed to permit availability; if "Private", it will not be available to any other Cellpages member.
