You should review the TOS regularly at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20071011100208/http://www.fifa.com/legal/TOS.html">http://www.fifa.com/legal/TOS.html</a>. By accessing the Website and/or any pages thereof, you signify your agreement with and understanding of the TOS and any changes to them. If you do not agree to the TOS, do not access the Website.</p><p style="clear:both"><strong>1. TOS <br/></strong> In addition to the TOS, when using particular FIFA services, you and FIFA shall be subject to any guidelines and rules applicable to such services which may be posted by FIFA from time to time. All such guides and rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. In most cases the guides and rules are specific to a particular part of the Website and will assist you in applying the TOS to that part, but to the extent of any inconsistency between the TOS and any guide or rule, the TOS will prevail. FIFA may also offer services from time to time that are governed by other terms of service. In such cases the other terms of service will be posted on the relevant service to which they apply. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Website shall be subject to the TOS. To the extent of any inconsistency between the TOS and any other terms of service, those other terms of service will prevail.</p><p style="clear:both"><strong>2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNET ACCESS <br/></strong> In order to use the Website, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service and/or telephony fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device.</p><p style="clear:both">You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Website through your internet connection are aware of the TOS, and that they comply with them.</p><p style="clear:both"><strong>3.

If you provide, or FIFA has reasonable grounds to suspect that you have provided, any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or FIFA otherwise reasonably considers that you have failed to comply with any provisions of these TOS, FIFA has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Website (or any portion thereof).</p><p style="clear:both">FIFA is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children.
