TERMS OF SERVICE

TERMS OF SERVICE (“Terms of Service”) constitute a binding contract between you (“Customer” or “You”) and Animating Kids (the “Company”) regarding the terms under which the Company will provide Customer with access to the Services.

BY CLICKING ON THE BUTTON MARKED “I ACCEPT,” Customer SIGNIFIES ITS AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (“Acceptance”). Customer agrees that its assent, given electronically, will have the same legal effect as if it had been personally signed by Customer. To the extent permitted by law, these Terms of Service are intended to supersede any provisions of applicable law, which might otherwise limit their enforceability or effect, because they were entered into electronically. Please print a copy of these Terms of Service for future reference.
