Fantasy Makers Industries, Inc. (“FMI”) welcomes you. These
Website Terms of

These TOU apply to
each visitor to and user of the Site (each, a "User"), including

TOU effective
immediately upon posting the revised TOU in the event FMI
determines it
reasonably necessary for such change to be effective without
delay. You are
responsible for checking the TOU regularly for changes and your
continued use

any changes to
the TOU.

be posted from time to time on the Site, and you agree to use
the Site in
accordance with the Guidelines. FMI may also offer certain other
