Please read this Agreement carefully before using a FSANA Website or activating a member account with FSANA. By using the FSANA Website, you acknowledge that you have read this Agreement, understand it and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions, as we may amend them from time to time by posting a revised version of this Agreement on the FSANA Websites.
 
Additionally, each of the FSANA Websites may contain additional terms of use that govern particular features or areas (for example, chat areas) of each such Website. In the event that any of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein conflict with the terms, conditions and notices contained within any particular FSANA Website, then these terms shall control.
