DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
DiaryBook is providing Member with a capability to store contact and appointment records and to transmit and receive SMS text messages to their contacts. In consideration

phone number from any disclosures, DiaryBook may (i) as Member expressly directs
DiaryBook, release Member's email address to any other person Member may specifically
designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, due to the existing legal and

information or Member's private communications will not be disclosed to
third parties. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), DiaryBook
may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties
under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept
or access transmissions or private communications. Further, DiaryBook can
(and Member hereby authorizes DiaryBook to) disclose Registration Data or
any information about Member to law enforcement or other government officials
as DiaryBook, in its sole discretion, believes necessary or appropriate. Therefore,
DiaryBook does not promise, and Member should not expect, that personally
identifiable information or private communications will always remain
private.
