** IMPORTANT **

Please review the following terms and conditions carefully. This Agreement is a legally binding contract between you ("You") and TWOGUYSSOFTWARE INC., a/k/a XRUCIFIX, ("TGS") regarding your access to and use of its web site (the "Site"), as well as your use of TGS's various games (collectively, the "Property"), the information contained therein and its copyright and trademark policies. By accessing the Property, you agree to the terms and conditions as outlined in this legal notice. TGS reserves the right to change these terms and conditions from time to time at its sole discretion. Your use of our Property following any such change constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the terms as changed.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The copyright in and associated with all material, including without limitation all informational text, photographs, illustrations, artwork, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, audio, video, messages, files, documents, images or other materials (collectively, the "Materials"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, at or on the Property, as well as all derivative works, is held by TGS or by the original creator of the material and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. TGS disclaims any proprietary interest in trademarks, service marks, logos, slogans, domain names and trade names other than its own. Trademarks, logos, images and service marks (the "Marks") displayed on the Property are registered and unregistered Marks of TGS.

You must notify TGS prior to any use of the Marks and/or the Materials. Once you have notified TGS of your intended use, you will be granted a limited license to use the Marks and Materials for personal, informational, and non-commercial purposes to promote TGS's games, provided that such use conforms to the criteria set forth below.

By agreeing to this limited license, you acknowledge the validity of TGS's ownership in the Marks and will not contest such ownership or the validity of any registrations of TGS relating to the Marks. If you acquire any goodwill or reputation in any of the Marks, all such goodwill or reputation will automatically vest in TGS when and as such goodwill or reputation occurs. You agree to take all actions necessary to effect such vesting.

Please note that TGS reserves the right to object to any use of the Marks and Materials, including prohibited and unlawful uses, even if that use is not expressly prohibited by these Terms of Use. Further, TGS reserves the right to revise these Terms of Use at any time without notice. By consenting to use of the Marks and/or Materials, you agree to immediately cease and desist using the Marks or Material on our written or electronic request.

TRADEMARK USE

  1. You may use the Marks on a web site, on bulletin boards, in chat rooms to discuss or promote TGS's games and/or products.

  2. You may use the Marks as metatags or as key terms in a search engine.

  3. You may not use the Marks in banner advertisements or other internet advertising mediums.

  4. You are not allowed to vary the spelling, add or delete hyphens (even for normal hyphenation at the end of a line of text), make one word two, or use a possessive or plural form of the Marks.

  5. You may not use the Marks in a derogatory or defamatory manner, or in any negative context. Such use will terminate your license to use the Marks.

  6. You may not use the Marks as part of any third party products, services or trade name, without TGS's express written permission.

  7. You may not use the Marks in a manner that is likely to cause confusion with, dilute or damage the reputation or image of TGS or any of its products.

  8. The Marks, or any portion thereof, may not be used by you or any third party as a domain name or as part of or incorporated in to a domain name. If you learn of such unauthorized use, please inform us. However,

TRADEMARK MARKING

When using Marks that are registered, use the registered trademark symbol (r) after the trademark, for example, "ICE(r)". For any Marks that are not registered, the (tm) symbol should be used in place of the registered trademark symbol (r). For example, "NIGHTMARES(tm)". Once marked, it is not normally necessary to mark subsequent appearances of the Marks.
