Welcome to FourthOfficial.com, the website and online service of Lowyat Networks (“Company” “we,” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which site visitors and members (“you”) may use our service. By accessing or using the Company services, website and software provided through or in connection with the service (“Service”), you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”), whether or not you are a registered user of our Service.

We reserve the right to amend this Agreement at any time and without notice. If we do this, we will post the amended Agreement on this page and indicate at the top of the page the date the Agreement was last revised. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users”).

1. Use of Our Service
1. Company grants you permission to use the Service as set forth in this Agreement, provided that:
2. you will not copy, distribute, or disclose any part of the Service in any medium;
3. you will not alter or modify any part of the Service other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Service for its intended purpose; and
4. you will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

You do not have to register in order to visit Company. To access certain features of the Service, though, you will need to register with Company and create a “Member” account. Your account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion.

You may never use another Member’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. You must notify Company immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Although Company will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you shall be liable for the losses of Company or others due to such unauthorized use.
By providing Company your email address, you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We reserve the right to determine whether you may opt out of Service-related emails. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including changes to features of the Service and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers.

You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc. , that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Company servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service nor to use the communication systems provided by the Service for any commercial solicitation purposes.

Company may permanently or temporarily terminate, suspend, or otherwise refuse to permit your access to the Service without notice and liability, if, in Company’s sole determination, you violate any of the Agreement, including the following prohibited actions:

1. attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service;
2. taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure;

4. impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity;
