| RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF MATERIALS
All materials contained in any TTI Site are the copyrighted property of Thomsen Toys Inc., or its subsidiaries or affiliated
companies and/or third-party licensors. All trademarks, service marks, and trade names are proprietary to Thomsen Toys Inc., or its affiliates. No material from any TTI Site
or any Internet site owned, operated, licensed, or controlled by us or our affiliates may be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or distributed in
any way, except that you may download one copy of the materials on any single computer for your personal, noncommercial home use only, provided that (i) you keep intact all
copyright and other proprietary notices, (ii) you make no modifications to the materials, (iii) you do not use the materials in a manner that suggests an association with any
of our products, services, or brands, and (iv) you do not download quantities of materials to a database that can be used to avoid future downloads from any TTI Site. For
purposes of these terms, the use of any such material on any other Web site or computer environment is prohibited. All trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress
are proprietary to us.
In the event you download software from any TTI Site, the software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by
the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the "Software") are licensed to you by us or third-party licensors for your personal, noncommercial
home use only. We do not transfer title to the Software to you. You own the medium on which the Software is recorded, but we (or third-party licensors) retain full and
complete title to the Software and all intellectual property rights therein. You may not redistribute, sell, de-compile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce

| SUBMISSIONS
We are pleased to hear from our visitors and welcome your comments regarding our products and services. Unfortunately, however,
our long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider suggestions, or materials other than those that we have specifically requested. We hope you will
understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings. While we do value your feedback on our services and products, we request
that you be specific in your comments on those services and products, and not submit any creative ideas, suggestions, or materials (unless specifically requested by us).
If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions (e.g., postings to chat, boards, or contests) or, despite our
request, you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other information (collectively, the "Submissions"), the Submissions shall be
deemed, and shall remain, our property. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on our part and we shall not be liable for any use or
disclosure of any Submissions. Without limitation of the foregoing, we shall exclusively own all now-known or hereafter existing rights to the Submissions of every kind and
nature throughout the universe and shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the
provider of the Submissions.

| FORUMS AND PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
"Forum" means a chat area, message board, product review, or e-mail function offered as part of any TTI Site. If you
participate in any Forum within a TTI Site, you must not:
- defame, abuse, harass or threaten others;
- make any bigoted, hateful, or racially offensive statements;
- advocate illegal activity or discuss illegal activities with the intent to commit them;
- post or distribute any material that infringes and/or violates any right of a third party or any law;
- post or distribute any vulgar, obscene, discourteous, or indecent language or images;
- advertise or sell to or solicit others;
- use the Forum for commercial purposes of any kind;
- post or distribute any software or other materials that contain a virus or other harmful component; or
- post material or make statements that do not generally pertain to the designated topic or theme of any chat room or bulletin
board.
It is our policy to respect the privacy of all customers. Therefore, in addition to the privacy of Registration data (see our
Privacy Policy), we will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a customer's e-mail unless (a) you authorize us to do so, (b) we must do so in order to resolve
technical problems on any TTI Site; or (c) unless required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or comply
with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect the safety of our customers or the public. Customers
shall remain solely responsible for the content of their messages.
We reserve the right to remove or edit content from any Forum at any time and for any reason.
By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us, you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of
such materials expressly granted) us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly
perform and display, create derivative works from and distribute such materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology now known or later
developed throughout the universe. In addition, you warrant that all so-called "moral rights" in those materials have been waived.
When participating in a Forum, never assume that people are who they say they are, know what they say they know, or are
affiliated with whom they say they are affiliated with in any chat room, message board, or other user- generated content area. Information obtained in a Forum may not be
reliable, and it is not a good idea to trade or make any investment decisions based solely or largely on information you cannot confirm. We cannot be responsible for the
content or accuracy of any information, and shall not be responsible for any trading or investment decisions made based on such information.

| CONTENT LINKED TO ANY TTI SITE
Please exercise discretion while browsing the Internet using any TTI Site. You should be aware that when you are on a TTI Site,
you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from TTI pages that take you outside of our service. For example, if you
click on a banner advertisement or a search result, the click may take you off the TTI Site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors, and content partners that may use
our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, solicit personal information, or contain information that
you may find inappropriate or offensive. In addition, advertisers on TTI Sites may send cookies to users that we do not control.
We reserve the right to disable links from third-party sites to any TTI Site.
We make no representations concerning the content of sites listed in any of our directories. Consequently, we cannot be held
responsible for the accuracy, relevancy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in sites listed in our search results or otherwise linked to a TTI
Site.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online --- for example, via message boards or chat --- that
information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While TTI strives to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any
information you disclose online; you make such disclosures at your own risk.

THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE MATERIALS ON ANY TTI SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE,
THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY TTI SITE OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE SUCH MATERIALS AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR
MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE MATERIALS ON ANY TTI SITE IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. YOU
ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
We explicitly disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy, content, or availability of information found on sites that link to
or from any TTI Site. We cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that you purchase from a third-party site that links to or from any TTI Site
or third-party content on our sites. We do not endorse any of the merchandise, nor have we taken any steps to confirm the accuracy or reliability of, any of the information
contained in such third-party sites or content. We do not make any representations or warranties as to the security of any information (including, without limitation, credit
card and other personal information) you might be requested to give any third-party, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such sites and
third-party content. We strongly encourage you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with
any of these third parties.
Search and Directory are free services offered by us. Because the Web changes constantly, no search engine technology can
possibly have all accessible sites at any given time. Thus, we explicitly disclaim any responsibility for the content or availability of information contained in our search
index or directories.

|
| CREDIT CARDS
TTI takes the issue of your privacy seriously. We do not provide your credit card number, billing and shipping information to
any party outside of our organization. For more information, please read our Privacy Policy.
To protect the security of your credit card information, we employ the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
We also encrypt your credit card number when we store your order and whenever we transfer that information to participating merchants.

| INDEMNIFICATION
You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Password and account and for all activities that occur
under your account. You hereby indemnify, defend, and hold us and our affiliates and our officers, directors, owners, agents, information providers, affiliates, licensors, and
licensees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees') incurred by
the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of any breach by you of this Agreement or claims arising from your account. You shall use your best efforts to
cooperate with us in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to
indemnification by you.

| LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, ANY TTI SITE OR MATERIALS OR FUNCTIONS ON ANY SUCH SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT [INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE], OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING ANY TTI SITE.

| JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
Unless otherwise specified, the materials in any TTI Site are presented solely for the purpose of promoting products available in
the United States and its territories, possessions, and protectorates. TTI is controlled and operated by Thomsen Toys and its affiliates from its offices in California. We make
no representation that materials on any TTI Site are appropriate or available for use in any particular location. Those who choose to access a TTI Site do so on their own
initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Software from this site is further subject to United States
export controls. No software from this site may be downloaded or otherwise exported or reexported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Libya, North Korea,
Iran, Syria, or any other country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S.
Commerce Department's Table of Deny Orders. By downloading or using the Software, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or
resident of any such country or on any such list.

These terms are effective until terminated by either party. You may terminate these terms at any time by discontinuing use of all
TTI Sites and destroying all materials obtained from any and all such sites and all related documentation and all copies and installations thereof, whether made under these
terms or otherwise. Your access to any and all TTI Sites may be terminated immediately without notice from us if in our sole discretion you fail to comply with any term or
provision of these terms. Upon termination, you must cease use of the TTI Site and destroy all materials obtained from such site and all copies thereof, whether made under

GENERAL PROVISIONS
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to
any principles of conflicts of law. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms shall be filed only in the state or federal courts
located in Los Angeles County, California, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. If any
provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the
validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. This is the entire agreement between us relating to the subject matter herein and shall not be modified except in
writing, signed by both parties.
