When you use services provided by SoNeDev, you're agreeing to our Terms of Use ("TOU"). We might update these terms anytime without telling you directly. You can always find the latest version by clicking the "Terms of Use" link at the bottom of our web pages. We'll always update the "Last Updated" date at the top of that page when we make changes. By continuing to use the website after we post a new version of the TOU, you agree to those new terms.
