Terms and Conditions Terms and Conditions
1. Introduction. This Agreement is a legal document which sets out your rights and obligations, and those of PantaFilarakia.com, a company based in NZ ("PantaFilarakia.com ", "we" or "us"), in relation to this site and the services offered by PantaFilarakia.com through it (the " PantaFilarakia.com Service"). By registering with PantaFilarakia.com, you agree to the terms of this Agreement, and you re-affirm that agreement every time you access the website. Visitors to PantaFilarakia.com who do not register to become a Member (see 2 below) similarly affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the PantaFilarakia.com site. You should be aware that this Agreement may change from time to time in accordance with Clause 23 below.
2. Types of membership. People who register with PantaFilarakia.com become "Members". They must be at least 18 years of age. The Membership divides between those who decide to pay our fee for either a full annual membership or a 6 month membership (which we call "Full Members"), and those who do not ("Standard Members").
As well as being able to browse the PantaFilarakia.com Homepage like any visitor to it, Standard Members may:
- post their name and some other details in the schools, colleges and workplaces which appear on the PantaFilarakia.com Website;
- receive emailed messages, which will be sent to the email address contained in Your Details (which are provided during Registration and may be updated subsequently), sent by Full Members; and
- opt to receive emails selected during the Registration process (as added to, or de-selected, subsequently), such as notification when a new pupil has registered for your school
In addition to the facilities available to Standard Members, Full Members may:
- send email messages to addresses of both Full and Standard Members;
- post to any message boards which may be available on the PantaFilarakia.com Website;
- upload photographs; and
- enter any reunion details for their schools and colleges.
We are not an internet service provider, however. In order to avail of the PantaFilarakia.com Service, you must have internet access and all the software (and skills) required for email and web usage.
3. Full Membership. If you decide to become a Full Member, and therefore pay our Full Membership fee, you are agreeing to take the Full Membership we make available to you shortly after that fee is paid. You will not be entitled to any refund of that fee. Your Full Membership will last for either six or twelve months. If you wish to continue with Full Membership after the expiry of the initial six or twelve-month period, we will enable you to do so, at our then-current terms and prices. Please note that we reserve the right to change the amount of the fee for Full Membership, the period which it covers, the services which it enables you to obtain and other factors from time to time. However, these changes, unless they are changes under Clause 8 or Clause 9 below, will not affect your then-current Full Membership.
4. Registration. You undertake to register with PantaFilarakia.com using accurate and current information about yourself – including your correct name, address and any other requested details. You also undertake only to add yourself to a school on the PantaFilarakia.com, which you attended at the relevant time. If you are asked for, and provide, details of a credit, debit or charge card; in that event, you must ensure that (a) you are fully entitled to use that card, and (b) it has available funds sufficient to cover the charges which are deducted from it. As part of the registration process for the PantaFilarakia.com Services, you will receive a verification email, the purpose of which is to take reasonable steps to ensure that the email address you have nominated during registration is controlled by you. That email contains simple instructions which you must follow.
5 Privacy policy. PantaFilarakia.com’s Privacy Policy forms part of this Agreement, and by agreeing to this Agreement, you also give your consent to the way we may handle your personal data in that policy. Given the global nature of the World Wide Web, any posting on the PantaFilarakia.com Website (including any which contain personal information) is, of course, accessible to internet users around the world.

Provided that those terms or rules are notified to you on the PantaFilarakia.com Website in an appropriate manner (as determined by PantaFilarakia.com in its reasonable discretion), any failure by you to comply with a material provision of the terms or rules governing those services will amount to a breach of this Agreement.
