Yahoo! registration obligations - a poem

You want to use our service,
but you must be legal age
to form a binding contract
by laws set forth by states.

Don't tell lies about yourself
in any slight amount.
For if you do, we have the right
to cancel your account.

For our clients, we at yahoo
want the very best.
Even more so for the kids
of thirteen years or less.

So if you're young and want to join,
it surely would behoove you
to ask your parents nicely
and get them to approve you.

But if they do, then let them know
you can access anything,
including email, message boards
and instant messaging.

So as a legal guardian,
you surely are entitled
to determine whether Yahoo! content
is appropriate for your child.



In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Yahoo! has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Yahoo! has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). Yahoo! is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, parents of children under the age of 13 who wish to allow their children access to the Service must create a Yahoo! Family Account. When you create a Yahoo! Family Account and add your child to the account, you certify that you are at least 18 years old and that you are the legal guardian of the child/children listed on the Yahoo! Family Account. By adding a child to your Yahoo! Family Account, you also give your child permission to access many areas of the Service, including, email, message boards and instant messaging (among others). Please remember that the Service is designed to appeal to a broad audience. Accordingly, as the legal guardian, it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the Service areas and/or Content (as defined in Section 6 below) are appropriate for your child
