    User hereby acknowledges and agrees that User is responsible for any transaction entered into through the PaperStore service and identified with User's user name and password or User's credit card or PayPal information. It is User's responsibility to maintain the secrecy of such information, to notify Pubget immediately upon learning of any transaction entered into through this service that was conducted without User's authorization, and to inform Pubget of any changes required to User’s user name, password or credit card information whenever necessary to preserve secrecy. User represents and warrants that User is at least 18 years old if User is a person (as opposed to a company or other organization); that in any event User is legally capable in User's place of residence or business of entering into the agreement created by the Order; and that the individual opening an account or seeking transactions under the PaperStore service on behalf of any User that is a business, corporate entity or other organization is duly authorized by User to do so.

    1. Any copyrighted materials made available through the PaperStore are included at the discretion of the applicable Content Provider. Pubget reserves the right, on behalf of itself and of Content Providers, to add or remove materials from the PaperStore at any time, and Pubget makes no representation or warranty that any particular materials will be available for purchase through the PaperStore.

    2. PaperStore will enable User to download and save a single electronic copy of the material purchased by User. Such copy may be used only by User, and only in accordance with the terms included in the particular Order, unless User has obtained rights from the Content Provider or another authorized source to make and share additional copies of such materials. Without limiting the foregoing, materials purchased through the PaperStore may not be used for marketing or promotional purposes. User is responsible for complying with U.S. and international copyright laws with respect to the use of any copies.
