In this Agreement, "you" and "your" refer to each customer, including subscribers of participating mobile communications carriers on whose behalf you are entering into this Agreement, his or her agents, and "we", "us" and "our" refer collectively to Bidshot Wireless Services, Inc. and its affiliates (“Bidshot”) and the mobile content subscription services (collectively “Service”) described herein. The following Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to the Service. This agreement ("Agreement") is a contract between you and Bidshot and governs your use of the Service. By subscribing to any of the mobile content services described herein, you (1) confirm that you have read and understood this Agreement and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions, (2) represent that you are at least 18 years of age and are the subscriber of a participating mobile communications carrier, or have the consent of the subscriber of a participating mobile communications carrier to use the Service on behalf of the subscriber, or if you are under 18 but over 13, you must have the consent of your parent or guardian to use the Service, and we will be entitled to conclude that you have obtained such consent if you proceed with using the Service; and (3) agree on behalf of the subscriber and yourself to be bound by the terms of service of this Agreement.

Bidshot will not issue refunds to persons or entities claiming that they did not authorize the use of their wireless account. If you are under 18 but over 13, you must get the consent of your parent or guardian to subscribe to any of the services.
