and store activity logs. We can use any and all information at our disposal
as required by law and/or to protect PCBL, PCBYP, and any subscribers.

but is not limited to, providing false information (whether intentionally or
recklessly), using false identity, recklessly or intentionally affecting PCBYP

virus,
worm,
trojan, or
any script or program

standard service. We reserve the right to indefinitely bar access to users,
computers, or networks from which such action originates, and may take legal
action for incurred damages.
You are strictly prohibited from reverse engineering any and all products
or work obtained from PCBYP, whether it is done by yourself or another party,
whether they are viewed in your browser, downloaded or provided to you via
any medium. You also cannot reverse engineer any downloads obtained through
typical web browsing (temporary internet files, etc).
LOGINS, ACCOUNTS, AND ACCESS
You are entitled to use one single login. Since
all PCBYP visitors have unlimited access to public information without paying
or
logging
in, you
should not
create a login unless you intend to create a listing with it.
You are responsible for the confidentiality and safekeeping of your user ID
and password and all associated activity. In the event you are aware that your
login account may be compromised (someone other than you may have access to
your login information), you agree to immediately change your password and
notify Us via the “Contact Us” link if you have any problems doing
so.
You are also responsible for, and are expected to, maintain up to date contact
information so that in the event of important notifications, We can contact

to you or third parties from exercising Our rights to limit access.

We reserve the right to send you e-mail notices about changes to the User
Agreement or Privacy Statement or other important notices, whether or not you
subscribe to a mailing list. If you are not subscribed to any mailing list,
we will only send important messages to you. We reserve the right to combine
offers from other companies in such e-mail communication. Unsubscribing from

you will no longer have access to protected areas of the website. Refunds will
NOT be issued for any listing features purchased. By terminating (deleting)
your account, you will no longer receive bulk email regarding PCBYP services.

visits and account usage may still exist.). We reserve the right to continue

time. We will send an email about 30 days prior to your listing’s expiration
date. Before you renew, you should review your listing to ensure you do not
incur any unwanted charges. If we upgrade your account for any reason (because
of high ratings and/or per your request, as a good gesture, or other reason),
the upgrade may carry through your renewal period and you may be charged the
cost of the features for the following period, whatever the charges may be.
SALES & REFUNDS
Costs of features are subject to change at any time. This means that the cost
of the same features may vary from period to period.
All payments are final and will not be refunded. Therefore, please verify
that you want to purchase or renew a particular feature before doing so. Refunds
will not be issued for system downtime, either; however, we realize that it
is in Our best interest to ensure the system is always available and we intend
to keep it so.
Payment for features your listing(s) uses is required within 30 days. Failure
