Intrade
provides its Service to you, subject to the Terms of Service ("TOS"),
which may be updated from time to time without notice to you. PLEASE READ THIS
DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. In addition, when using the Service, you shall be subject
to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services, which may be
updated from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated
by reference into the TOS. You understand that accessing or transmitting
information, registering or otherwise participating in any the Services
constitutes and shall be deemed an acceptance by you of these Terms and
Conditions. Intrade reserves the right, at its sole discretion to change,
modify or add to these Terms and Conditions, at any time, and without prior
notice to you. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms and Conditions,
you must not use the Services.
Intrade
currently provides users with access to the Service. Unless explicitly stated
otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, shall
be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided
"AS-IS" and that Intrade assumes no responsibility for the
timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to
store any user communications or personalization settings. In order to use the
Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or
through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service 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

responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, objectivity, or usefulness of
the information presented on the Service. We do not endorse any recommendation

contract. Intrade may not routinely screen, edit, or review messages posted by
its users. However, we do reserve the right to monitor or remove any post, or
block any user at any time, from the Service without notice or reason. Users
should be aware that other users may not be who they say they are. Intrade takes
no action to perform a background check on any of the users' alias profiles. We
do not guarantee that users' alias profiles contain accurate information. Users
should also be aware that other users may use our Service for personal gain.
Messages posted by individuals may be misleading, deceptive, or in error. If
you disagree with a posting, you may want to post a response. It is the policy
of Intrade to allow our users to freely discuss issues in a free and open
manner subject to these TOS, and we will not take sides in disagreements or
disputes involving our users, so do not ask us to do so. However
harassing other users is strictly prohibited.

that you rely on information posted within the Service, you do so solely at
your own risk.
c.
You acknowledge that Intrade does not pre-screen Content, but that
Intrade and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in
their sole discretion to refuse or move any Content that is available via the
Service. Without limiting the foregoing Intrade and its designees shall have
the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise
objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated
with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy,
completeness, or usefulness of such Content.
You
agree to indemnify and hold Intrade, and its subsidiaries, affiliates,
officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless from

party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post to or transmit through
the Service, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your
violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another. Intrade reserves
the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of
any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you.
