Terms and conditions of use

These Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) are between you and G2 Web Services, Inc.

The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use, as well as our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement among G2RS users of the Sites.  By using the Sites, you confirm that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to change, modify, add, or delete these Terms of Use at any time without notice.

Your continued use of Sites after any such changes, modification, additions or deletions constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use.
