Terms and Conditions


PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY HAVE CHANGED SINCE YOUR LAST VISIT TO THIS WEB SITE. BY USING ANY OF THE IMN SERVICES, YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THEN DO NOT USE THE IMN SERVICES.

IMakeNews, Inc. ("IMN") has elected to make available to certain Tupperware sales consultants certain IMN proprietary services that enable Tupperware sales consultants to have customized e-newsletters distributed to such sales consultant's customers (the "IMN Services"). The IMN Services may not be used for the sending of unsolicited email (sometimes called "spam").

The following are the terms and conditions for access to and use of the IMN Services. By checking the 'I Agree' button on the sign-up page or by using any of the IMN Services, you, the subscriber to the IMN Services, are acknowledging that you have accepted these terms and conditions (also referred to as this "Agreement").

  1. Fees
    Once you have completed your free evaluation period, you will be subject to monthly subscription fees in accordance with the IMN fee schedule provided to you in conjunction with your online registration for the applicable IMN Services (the "Fee Schedule"). You are obligated to provide IMN with a valid credit card and IMN will charge your credit card, monthly in advance, for your use of the IMN Services beginning at the end of your free evaluation period. If IMN is for any reason unable to effect payment via your credit card, IMN will attempt to notify you via email and your access to the IMN Services may be disabled until payment is received. Amounts paid for the IMN Services are not refundable. Until your subscription to the IMN Services is terminated, you acknowledge and understand that IMN will continue to charge you for the IMN Services regardless of whether the IMN Services are used or not. All fees are subject to change at any time in IMN's sole discretion. In order to validate your credit card or debit card provided to IMN, IMN will make a temporary authorization of $0.01. This is a temporary authorization and is not an actual charge – even to the extent that it appears on your statement. Nothing will be charged or withdrawn from your account; provided, however, that temporary authorizations are held against your balance to guarantee the funds for the transaction amount. The length of time funds are held is determined by your card issuing bank's policies. Most card issuing banks will remove authorizations within 3-14 days if they are not claimed for settlement. Since this may affect your available remaining balance, IMN recommends contacting your bank to determine its policies on temporary authorizations. The length of time funds are held is determined by your bank's policies. Please note, IMN does not have the ability to manually drop these authorizations from your debit or credit card.
  2. Access to Internet; Equipment
    In order to use the IMN Services, you are responsible at your own expense to access the Internet, either directly or through devices that access web-based content. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet, including a computer and modem or other access device. You shall not attempt to access any other of IMN's systems, programs or data that are not made available for public use.
  3. License Grant; Restrictions
    Subject to these terms and conditions and your payment of all applicable fees, IMN hereby grants to you
    1. A non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to allow up to one User to access the website for each IMN Service to which you have subscribed, solely in order to configure and customize such IMN Service for your internal business purposes and
    2. A non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to distribute any IMN Content (as defined below in Section 6 and which may include content directly or indirectly provided by Tupperware Brands Corporation ("Tupperware")) made available to you for inclusion in your e-newsletters that form part of the IMN Services to your customers, pursuant to the automatic e-newsletter distribution system that forms part of the IMN Services.
    A "User" shall mean you unless you are a corporate or similar entity, in which case a User shall mean any of your employees, consultant, or independent contractors.

Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, you shall not copy, license, sell, transfer, make available, lease, time-share, distribute, or assign any of the IMN Services, any content forming part of any IMN Services (including any IMN Content), or your rights to use the IMN Services to any third-party.

    IMN may immediately disable or terminate your access to the IMN Services without refund if IMN determines, in its sole discretion, that you have violated any of the policies listed above or elsewhere in this Agreement. Certain states have child protection registry laws that prohibit the sending of email to email addresses listed on the registry if the email, or a linked website, advertises a product or service that may not be lawfully purchased by the email recipient. If your Customer Content, or any linked website, advertises any product or service that may not be lawfully purchased by minors in all states, it is your responsibility to ensure that the email addresses you provide to IMN do not include any email addresses that are listed on any such child protection registry. You represent and warrant that you shall not use the IMN Services to procure the sending by IMN of any email to any recipient in breach of any such law.

You may terminate this Agreement or your use of an IMN Service at any time by filling out a termination form provided within the applicable IMN Service. There are no refunds for any fees paid.
