All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. In most cases the guides and rules are specific to a particular part of the Service and will assist you in applying the TOS to that part, but to the extent of any inconsistency between the TOS and any guide or rule, the TOS will prevail. We also may offer other services from time to time that are governed by different Terms of Services, in which case the TOS do not apply to such other services if and to the extent expressly excluded by such different Terms of Services.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
We currently provide users with access to a rich collection of on-line and electronic resources, products and services, including various communications tools and applications, online forums, shopping services, personalized content and branded programming through its network of properties (the "Service"). The Service (or parts of it) may be accessed or made available through or via various mediums or devices now known or hereafter developed, including but not limited to the World Wide Web, mobile telephone or communications services (such as SMS (Short Message Service)), and/or other Internet or telecommunications services or protocols (such as WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)) (collectively, the "Channels"). You also understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from Yahoo!, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the Yahoo! Newsletter, and that these communications are considered part of Yahoo! membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Yahoo! Properties or services, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that we assume no responsibility for the timeliness, currency, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.
In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the Service through the relevant Channel(s), either directly or through devices that access online and electronic content and/or services, and pay any fees associated with such access to the Service in accordance with the applicable payment terms. Such fees and payment terms may be changed from time to time, and such changes will be notified to you, whether by email or by notices or links to notices on the Service or by other appropriate means. You acknowledge that certain parts of the Service are available only via certain Channels. You also acknowledge that we are not responsible or liable in any way for your access to the Service or your use of any Channels.
In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to use the relevant Channel, including a computer and modem, mobile telephone or other appropriate access device, and you must pay any fees applicable to the use of such Channel. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the set-up, configuration or compatibility of the hardware, software and other equipment used by you for obtaining access to the Service by any Channel whatsoever. If any alteration in the whole or any part of Service requires changes in your hardware, software or other equipment, you must effect these changes at your own expense. We will inform you of any such alterations in the Service in advance, whether by email or by notices or links to notices on the Service or by other appropriate means.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, no information presented in the Service or in connection with any products and services forming part of the Service shall be deemed as a binding offer by us or the relevant third party, but may constitute an invitation for you to place an order. In respect of contracts for our or any third party's products and services which are made available as part of the Service, these shall be deemed concluded when we or the relevant third party have accepted your order for the same or have provided you with the product or service pursuant to your order.
3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision and to construe such provision to the maximum extent permitted by law so as to render that provision valid and enforceable, and that the other provisions of the TOS shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
