Many areas of the Site do not require users to identify themselves or reveal any personal information. However, certain usage information which may include a user's IP address, the time and length of access, the pages viewed and the name of any site visited immediately prior to coming to the Site, may be collected and stored on an anonymous, aggregate basis. Maptuit does not consider IP addresses to constitute personally identifiable information since they are commonly utilized by proxy servers and thereby shared among multiple users, or are dynamically assigned to machines, and are not easily associated with a particular user. Any e-mail address configured in a user's Web browser may also be logged as part of the Web server's automatic logging process. This information is primarily used to assess usage of, and develop ideas for improving, the Site. Maptuit does not currently request or obtain personally identifiable information from its business partners.

Maptuit will not, however, provide such information to any other companies for their independent use. Maptuit assumes no liability for Metro Media's or such Media company's use or storage of such information. Maptuit reserves the right to provide information collected from the Site or by the Service to other third parties, provided such information does not contain information sufficient to identify a particular user by name, address or other personally identifiable information.
Notwithstanding anything else contained in these provisions, Maptuit reserves the right to disclose information collected if it believes in good faith that such disclosure is required by law, to comply with judicial process or to protect Maptuit's property or other interests.
You may contact Maptuit at any time to review or correct any personally identifiable information which may have been collected by Maptuit.
To the extent that any area of the Site or component of the Service requires users to register, any information provided by you in the course of such registrations shall be true and accurate.

You represent and warrant that you are old enough and possess the legal right and ability to enter into this Agreement.
Maptuit reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Site and Service to any user or group of users for any or no reason at Maptuit's sole and absolute discretion.

Other than through updated Terms of Use provided by Maptuit via its Website, this Agreement may be modified only by a writing that expressly refers to this Agreement and is signed by an authorized representative of Maptuit.
