  2. DESCRIPTION OF THE YAHOO! MESSENGER ONE SERVICE

    The Software provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including, without limitation, various communications services, such as Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo! Mail, and content and branded programming (such access being the "Yahoo! Messenger One Service"). For the purposes of the TOS, the Yahoo! Messenger One Service and the Software are deemed to be Yahoo! Services. You also understand and agree that the Yahoo! Messenger One Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for Yahoo! to provide the Yahoo! Messenger One Service. You also understand and agree that the Yahoo! Messenger One Service may include certain communications from Yahoo!, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the Yahoo! Newsletter, and that you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Yahoo! Messenger One Service shall be subject to these Additional Terms. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Yahoo! Messenger One Service, for all equipment required to gain such access and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements.

    You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Yahoo! Messenger One Service, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

    Yahoo! Messenger allows you to see when your friends are online, and send and receive instant messages. Yahoo! Messenger, including any web-based versions, will also allow you and the people with whom you communicate to save your conversations in your Yahoo! accounts located on Yahoo! servers. This means you can access and search your message history from any computer with access to the internet. Whether or not you use this feature, other users may choose to use it to save conversations with you in their account on Yahoo! too. If you have not previously provided such consent, your agreement to these Additional Terms constitutes your consent to allow Yahoo! to store these communications on its servers.

    The Yahoo! Messenger One Service allows you to use different methods of communicating and sending and receiving messages, including via Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Mail, SMS and voice call.

    By using the Yahoo! Messenger One Service, you acknowledge that other users of Yahoo! services (including Yahoo! Messenger) may elect to receive a notification from the Yahoo! service when you sign on and may send you instant messages and other information via the Yahoo! service. If you desire to block the notification feature of Yahoo! Messenger sent to other users or if you don't want to receive messages from such users, you will have to enable the "Ignore" feature in Yahoo! Messenger separately. Your ability to send and receive instant messages and other information may be blocked by Yahoo! and by other users, which may partially or wholly limit your ability to use the Yahoo! Messenger One Service. By using the Yahoo! Messenger One Service, you agree that Yahoo! has no responsibility for assessing or resolving any disputes arising from your or any other user's ability (or otherwise) to ignore, send messages, or otherwise use the Yahoo! Messenger One Service.

  3. DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF YAHOO! MESSENGER AND OTHER YAHOO! AUTHORIZED IM CLIENTS

    Different features may be available in different versions of Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger and not all features may be available in your country or region.
