Services you agree to the Terms of Service set forth below as they may be updated from time
to time by Bwizzoo. Bwizzoo may modify or terminate the Services from time to time, for
any reason, and without notice, without liability to you, any other user or any third

advised to periodically check the website for changes in the Terms of Service.

Bwizzoo retains ownership of all usernames/keywords in its service and might change the keyword
associated with your database at any time. In such an event, Bwizzoo would provide you with an
alternative keyword. Bwizzoo accounts with no or minimal usage might expire. Bwizzoo may determine,
in its sole discretion, to limit the use of the Services, add data storage limitations, charge fees
for the Services or otherwise modify the Services in the future. You acknowledge and agree that
these changes may take place and that Bwizzoo shall have no liability stemming from such changes.
Any additions or modifications to the Services shall be in the sole discretion of Bwizzoo and will
be subject to these Terms of Service. You are solely responsible for any fees, charges and expenses
incurred by you in accessing and using the Services - including, but not limited to, standard text
messaging charges that will depend on the plan that you have with your wireless carrier. Bwizzoo uses
reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services are available on a 24/7 basis. However, there will be
occasions when the Service will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and emergency repairs or due
to failure of telecommunications links and equipment that are beyond the control of Bwizzoo. By using
