As part of the Services, HSX provides users with the ability to participate in the Hollywood Stock Exchange, a virtual game which allows users ("Participants") to buy and sell fictitious novelty interests in certain entertainment related properties (e.g., actors, actresses, movies, etc.). The interests in the particular properties and the Hollywood Stock Exchange in general are in no way related to the actual properties themselves and such fictitious interests are not, and should not be considered to be, stocks, bonds, or any other form of equity or debt security of HSX or any other person or entity. Accordingly, HSX has not, and is not obligated to, register such interests under any state or federal securities laws. The Hollywood Stock Exchange is intended for entertainment purposes only and any actual betting, wagering or gambling based on the information provided on the Web site or through the Hollywood Stock Exchange is strictly prohibited. Participants understand and agree that all interests are based on virtual "Hollywood" dollars, also known as "H$," which are entirely fictitious and have no actual corresponding dollar amount. Certain contests conducted on the Web site may offer prizes that only apply to H$ and not real currency -- you must read all Official Rules for such contests carefully. Any accumulation of H$ relates solely to a Participant's HSX account and participants are not entitled to receive any real currency, unless otherwise determined by HSX, in its sole discretion.
