Your use of each such Site is subject to these terms and conditions (the “Terms of Use” or “Agreement”). By using any such Site, you agree to all of the Terms of Use. Please read them carefully. If you do not wish to agree to the Terms of Use, please refrain from using the Site.

Your use of some Sites may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
