Last Updated on January 8, 2008.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR A FREE TRIAL OR A PAID SUBSCRIPTION FOR A GLOBEINVESTORGOLD.COM SERVICE (YOUR "SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT"), OR BY USING THE GLOBEINVESTORGOLD.COM WEBSITE, YOU AGREE, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION, TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND DISCLAIMERS SET OUT IN YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME AND SUCH OTHER ADDITIONAL OR ALTERNATIVE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, RULES AND POLICIES WHICH ARE DISPLAYED OR TO WHICH YOU MAY BE DIRECTED IN CONNECTION WITH USE OF THE GLOBEINVESTORGOLD.COM WEBSITE OR SERVICE OR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

  1. ACCEPTANCE: The GlobeinvestorGOLD.com website (the "Site"), and the products, services, information and other content offered through the Site (collectively the "Services"), are made available by CTVglobemedia Publishing Inc. ("CTVGMPI"), conditional on your acceptance of the terms, conditions and disclaimers set out in your Subscription Agreement or these Terms of Service.

    By entering into your Subscription Agreement, or by using the Site and Services, you confirm to CTVGMPI that you (a) are of the age of majority or older in the jurisdiction in which you reside; and (b) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to abide by these Terms of Service, do not use the Site and immediately terminate your subscription pursuant to these Terms of Service.

  2. TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION: Access to the Site and to certain Services may be made available to you on a time-limited free trial basis (a "Trial Subscription"). Please note that all of these Terms of Service (other than Payment Terms set out below) apply to a Trial Subscription. By subscribing for a Trial Subscription, you: (a) acknowledge that only one Trial Subscription per person is permitted and you agree not to subscribe for additional Trial Subscriptions; (b) acknowledge that the Trial Subscription is intended to permit you to assess the Site and Services for consideration of a subscription to the Site and Services (a "Subscription Plan"), and accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in our Privacy Policy, you hereby acknowledge and agree that CTVGMPI and/or its affiliates or licensors will send you, both during the Trial Subscription period and thereafter, e-mail communications pertaining to the Site and Services and related offers which CTVGMPI and/or its affiliates or licensors believes may be of interest to you and you hereby consent to receiving such e-mail communications. You can at any time choose to unsubscribe to such e-mail communications by following the unsubscribe directions posted at the bottom of the e-mail; (c) agree to pay all fees, including applicable taxes, incurred in connection with your use of any fee-based Services you choose to use during your Trial Subscription, such as any Exchange fees associated with Real Time Quotes; and (d) acknowledge that if the Trial is not cancelled within the Trial Subscription period, the Subscription Plan selected will begin at the end of the Trial Subscription period and the credit card you provided will automatically be billed based on the Subscription Plan selected.

  3. SUBSCRIPTION: A subscription to the Site and Services is billed on monthly, annual or on other periodic payment terms. The Subscription Plan you have chosen will be billed automatically for similar payment periods unless terminated by CTVGMPI or until you terminate your subscription in accordance with the terms set out below.

  4. ACCOUNT AND PASSWORD: During the subscription process, you will have to choose a user name ("User Name") and associated password ("Password"). Your User Name and Password are required in order to access or use the Site and Services. Upon completion of the subscription process, you will be assigned an account (an "Account") based on the information provided in your online subscription form. You represent and warrant that the information you provide during the subscription process is complete, true and accurate. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account information and Password. You will be responsible for all uses, including transactions effected through your Account, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify CTVGMPI of any unauthorized use of your Account or Password. CTVGMPI reserves the right, to be exercised in its sole discretion, to refuse to grant to you a User Name that impersonates someone else, is protected by intellectual property law or which is vulgar or otherwise offensive. CTVGMPI and/or its affiliates and licensors will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, in any way for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of, or in connection with, your failure to comply with this Section.

  5. PAYMENT TERMS: The current subscription fees and other charges (collectively the "Charges") applicable to the Site and Services are located at http://gold.globeinvestor.com/public/help/flat/help_pricing.html. The Charges for the specific Subscription Plan you have selected are found in your Subscription Agreement. Unless you qualify for an alternate payment scheme or offer (such as a Trial Subscription or a corporate plan subscription) as identified during the subscription process, the monthly, annual, or other periodic Charges applicable to the Subscription Plan you have chosen, together with all applicable taxes will be billed automatically to the credit card you designated during the subscription process or subsequently designated to CTVGMPI (the "Account Credit Card"). You warrant that you are the cardholder of the Account Credit Card and the relevant information required for processing charges is valid at all times. You must notify CTVGMPI of any change of address or other relevant information in a timely fashion by accessing the relevant My Membership update section. If the Account Credit Card expires, you must notify CTVGMPI of the new expiration date before the previous expiration date has passed. CTVGMPI reserves the right to levy an administration fee for any credit card transaction that fails. If you want to designate a different credit card or if there is a change to the existing Account Credit Card, please advise us by accessing the relevant My Membership update section. Except as provided in your Subscription Agreement or these Terms of Service, the Charges will be processed and the Account Credit Card will be charged on the first day of your Subscription Plan, and on the first day of each subsequent payment period, unless you terminate your subscription in accordance with these Terms of Service before the relevant period begins. The Charge for the applicable payment period will be equal to the Charge for the previous period, unless CTVGMPI has otherwise notified you in accordance with these Terms of Service of any increase in such Charge, which revised Charge will apply, unless you choose to terminate your Subscription Agreement. Please note that certain Charges, including one-time or use-specific charges for additional Services, will be billed to the Account Credit Card when incurred.

    You agree to pay all Charges incurred in connection with your use of the Site or use of any Services through your Account, including any applicable taxes, at the rates in effect when the Charges were incurred. Except as provided herein, all Charges are non-refundable.

    Please note that Charges do not include any other applicable fees or charges incurred to access, or to receive alerts or other information from the Site or any of the Services, through an Internet, wireless or other third party service provider.

  6. CTVGMPI TERMINATION: CTVGMPI reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Account and your access to the Site and Services at any time for convenience, or for any other reasons, including without limitation, if: (a) the Account Credit Card is invalid for any reason; (b) you provide CTVGMPI false or misleading information; (c) CTVGMPI does not receive payment; or (d) CTVGMPI has determined, in its sole discretion, that the use of the Site or Services by your Account is, or was in breach of these Terms of Service or you are using the Services for unlawful or improper use. Any such termination by CTVGMPI will be in addition to and without prejudice to such rights and remedies as may be available to CTVGMPI, including injunction and other equitable remedies. The disclaimer, limitations on liability, and indemnity provisions will survive termination or expiry of your Account and your Subscription Agreement.

  7. SUBSCRIBER TERMINATION: You may terminate your subscription at any time by accessing the "Cancel Service" link within the My Membership section of the Site. All terminations will be effective at the end of the monthly period in which such termination was effected. CTVGMPI will not, under any circumstances, provide any refund in connection with the termination of any Subscription Plans with a duration of one month or less. With respect to the termination of Subscription Plans which are longer than one month, CTVGMPI will provide a refund (in the form of a credit against the Account Credit Card) in an amount equal to: (i) the amount charged against the Account Credit Card and received by CTVGMPI for the applicable Subscription Plan, less (ii) the regular amount that would have been payable if calculated on a monthly basis for the applicable subscription period up to the end of the monthly period in which termination is effective.

  8. PRIVACY POLICY: For information on how user information is collected, used and disclosed by CTVGMPI in connection with your use of the Site and the Services, please consult our Privacy Policy.
