The terms and conditions below describe the agreement applicable to your use of this site.

INTRODUCTION TO PROFI.LY.
Upon your use of profi.ly you will register for the service and login to configure your account.
Account configuration entails providing only your unique social network identifier.
Profi.ly will never ask for login credentials to any social networks that have been linked
to the service. Some social networks will use a user name as a unique identifier and others will use a generated
number. Details about each networks user name are provided during account configuration. For purposes of
these terms and conditions, people who register for and use profi.ly are referred to as Users.
PROFI.LY PROFILE SERVICES.
When a User adds a profile listing to the profi.ly service, he or she agrees to
have certain information of their social network profile(s)
revealed to other profi.ly users. Directly within profi.ly, this information is limited to
a Users social network unique indentifier. However, when viewing actual profile listings,
more information will be made available.
profi.ly also makes no warranties regarding the accuracy of the information contained within the system. profi.ly takes reasonable measures to prevent identity spoofing, though it is impossible to ensure that every profile a User submits is accurate and/or valid. Be mindful of this fact throughout your use of the profi.ly system.
COMMERCIAL USE.
The profi.ly services are for personal use only. Any use by, or on behalf of, a commercial
entity is strictly prohibited without the express written permission of
profi.ly management. Please contact us for details or to
request permission for a commercial use license.
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US.
Upon using the profi.ly web site, Users will be able to list profiles in
order to facilitate a connection. Information provided at the time of profile
submission will be stored on our website. This information will
be available to other Users directly. By providing
this information to us, you expressly consent to being contacted by us
and our providers via phone, fax, email, mail or other reasonable
means, at any of your contact numbers or addresses provided to us, in order that we
may provide the services set forth on our site, to service your
account, to reasonably address matters pertaining to your account or
for other reasonable purposes related to our business. [We will
not spam you or sell your email address or any other personal information,
but if we have to contact you, then we have to contact you.] You
also consent to potentially contacted by profi.ly Users on any of the social
network profiles that you have linked within profi.ly. Entering
profile information is at your own risk, as we cannot actively monitor everyone
who uses profi.ly, and when people visit your network profile to
contact you, it's completely out of our hands. If you don't want
people seeing your personal contact information, it's best not to have
it on your network profile to begin with. You also promise that all
information you provide will be accurate, current and truthful to the
best of your knowledge. If you provide any information that is untrue,
