IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE THE SITE OR THE SERVICES DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The Web pages available at http://www.zloop.com and all linked pages ("Site"), are owned and operated by JPB Ventures, LLC. ("JPB Ventures"), and are accessed by you ("User") under the following terms and conditions.
JPB Ventures reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify the Agreement or Services (as defined below) or Content (as defined below) at any time by posting a notice on the Site, or by sending User a notice via email or postal mail. User shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Use of the Services by User following such notification constitutes User’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as modified.
User acknowledges that Zloop is in private 'Alpha' and is subject to instability. User acknowledges that the system may not function as advertised, and could cause the user to experience various 'bugs,' 'errors,' and 'exceptions,' and could cause the user's content or even the user's 'loop(s)' to be deleted. During this private Alpha phase, Zloop bears no responsibility for these potential problems and user acknowledges and accepts this temporary increased risk to using the system.
ACCESS TO THE SERVICES.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, JPB Ventures may offer to provide certain services and content, as described more fully on the Site, and which are selected by User through the process provided on the Site ("Services"). Services shall include, but not be limited to, any services JPB Ventures performs for User, as well as the offering of any materials displayed or performed on the Site (including, but not limited to diagrams, text, graphics, news articles, photographs, images, illustrations, audio clips and video clips, also known as the “Content") on the Site. JPB Ventures may change, suspend or discontinue the Services including any Content for any reason, at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or content. JPB Ventures may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict User’s access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability.
User certifies to JPB Ventures that if User is an individual (i.e., not a corporation or institution) User is of legal age to form a binding contract.

Without limiting the foregoing, if User is under the age of 13, User is not allowed to use the Services. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Site is revoked in such jurisdictions.
