HOUSEBOX does not provide any search function, with which HOUSEBOX\'s infrastructure can be searched. HOUSEBOX does not scan or open the files of its users. The files are not catalogued nor listed in tables of contents by HOUSEBOX. Only the owner of the account has the possibility to allow the access to his files.

HOUSEBOX will immediately block the access to such content after having been notified. Users must agree to comply with all laws which apply to their location, including copyright and trademark laws.

(c) HOUSEBOX is not liable for its users images, videos or files or any lost business due to the unavailability or loss of the website. HOUSEBOX makes no claims of future reliability in serving, hosting or storing your images, videos or files. Items through above shall be referred to collectively herein as the "Fees." All Fees will appear on your account or Credit Card, as HOUSEBOX. Failure to use the Premium Services does not constitute a basis for refusing to pay any of the associated Fees. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, you agree to be bound by the Billing Provisions (as defined below) of HOUSEBOX in effect at any given time.

HOUSEBOX reliance upon your electronic signature was specifically sanctioned and written into law when the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Transactions Act were enacted in 1999 and 2000, respectively.
