NetStores Test Drive Agreement

The NetStores Service ("NetStores" or the "Service"), owned and operated by Fishbone Communications, Inc. ("NetStores") is provided to you ("you" or "Merchant") under the terms and conditions of this NetStores "Test Drive" Agreement and any operating rules or policies (collectively, the "NTDA").

NetStores hosts interactive online stores on the World Wide Web. The NetStores "Test Drive" Service ("Test Service") allows Merchants to use the Test Service and "Test Drive" Software ("Test Software") for thirty (30) calendar days for the sole purpose of creating an online store ("Store or Storefront") and evaluating NetStores Storefront online store services. Merchant shall not sell any goods or services on or through the Test Service. Permission to use the Test Service and Test Software shall expire at the end of that thirty (30) day period.

BY COMPLETING THE TEST DRIVE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND CLICKING THE "I ACCEPT" BUTTON, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE NTDA. Nothing in this agreement obligates NetStores or the Service to list, link to, accept or otherwise host any online store anywhere on the NetStores site.

MERCHANTS OBLIGATIONS

Merchant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for all goods and services offered at Merchants Storefront, all materials used or displayed at the Storefront, and all acts or omissions that occur at the Storefront. For a full description of Merchants obligations, see NetStores' Terms of Service.

NetStores reserves the right to refuse to host or continue to host any Storefront that offers goods or services or uses or displays materials that are illegal, obscene, vulgar, offensive, dangerous or are otherwise inappropriate as determined by NetStores in its sole discretion.

GENERAL

The NTDA and the relationship between Merchant and NetStores shall be governed by the laws of the state of Oregon without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Merchant and NetStores agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Lane or the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. NetStores' failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the NTDA shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the NTDA 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 agree that the other provisions of the NTDA remain in full force and effect. Merchant agrees 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 NTDA must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

The section titles in the NTDA are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
