Entertainment, Inc.may immediately terminate the offending user's subscription

TERMINATION AND REMEDIES
The Companies reserve the right to terminate a user's subscription/privilege to
use the Site and services, without notice, whether subscription or other, in the
event a user violates any term or condition contained in this agreement. The
risk of termination is borne entirely by the user based on his or her actions
while utilizing the Site, or when ordering products from the Site (i.e.
misappropriation of passwords, untrue personal information, or fraudulent credit
card information). The Companies will also terminate a user's account if a user
posts or transmits any illegal content; posts content that is offensive or
otherwise disruptive of the Site; or posts unsolicited advertising on the Site.
The Companies reserve the right to institute its discretion in deciding whether
a user has committed such an act as to warrant termination. It is not the
intention of the Companies to eliminate anyone from its service, but the
Companies will not tolerate fraudulent or inappropriate acts by its users.
Therefore, when the Companies terminate an account NO REFUNDS will be available
under any circumstances. Also, the Companies may seek other available remedies
extraneous to termination, (i.e. civil penalties/fines, or criminal sanctions).

clicking on an "Ad Banner" or "Link" on the Site the user will be directed to a
