BarbieCollector.com(SM) Barbie(SM) Fan Club Membership Agreement Updated January 2009. Welcome to Mattel, Inc.'s BarbieCollector.com(SM) Barbie(SM) Fan Club ("BFC") and related services ("Services"). Mattel, Inc. and its affiliates ("Mattel" or "we" or "us") provide membership in the BFC to you subject to this BarbieCollector.com(SM) Barbie(SM) Fan Club Membership Agreement ("BFC Membership Agreement") and the BarbieCollector.com(SM) Member Service Agreement (hereafter called the "BC Agreement"). You must become a registered member of BarbieCollector.com(SM) ("BC") pursuant to the BC Agreement before you may become a member of the BFC. If there is a conflict between the provisions of the BC Agreement and this BFC Membership Agreement, the terms of this BFC Membership Agreement will prevail. On any area where this Agreement is silent, the terms of the BC Agreement will prevail. We urge you to again review the terms of the BC Agreement as well as this BFC Membership Agreement before joining the BFC. It's critical that you read this entire BFC Membership Agreement in its entirety before purchasing a membership in the BFC. It contains important information that addresses prohibited conduct. It outlines economic and other obligations that you agree to assume each time you participate in the BFC. And it highlights certain rights that we reserve so that we can ensure that your membership in the BFC will be an enjoyable Internet experience and so that we can remain a responsible member of the Internet community. If that's not compelling enough, you should know that, once you have purchased a membership, this BFC Membership Agreement becomes a legally binding document. Once you read this entire BFC Membership Agreement, if you agree to all of its terms, then type the words "I accept" where indicated below. After you "accept" the terms of the BFC Membership Agreement, you may proceed with your purchase of a membership in the BFC. You'll be bound by both the BC Agreement and this BFC Membership Agreement whenever you participate in the BFC. It's your responsibility to read this BFC Membership Agreement and keep apprised of any changes to it. We may update or modify this BFC Membership Agreement at our sole discretion from time to time without prior notice to you. The updates and modifications may appear in connection with a change in BFC features. The updates and modifications will be binding on you from the time that we post them. We encourage you to review the most current version of this BFC Membership Agreement on our site on a regular basis. Any updates and modifications that we make to this BFC Membership Agreement will be binding on you even if you choose not to read them. If you don't accept the BC Agreement or this BFC Membership Agreement, then you can't become a member of the BFC. 1. The BarbieCollector.com(SM) Barbie(SM) Fan Club The BFC includes several features, and they may vary from time to time in our sole discretion.

Unless we expressly tell you otherwise, any new features that we provide to modify, supplement, or improve the BFC will be subject to this BFC Membership Agreement and any other terms and conditions that we may announce. BFC benefits vary from year to year, and benefits offered in a prior year may not be provided in later years. As with BC, we merely provide the Service and the BFC; you must obtain and maintain at your sole cost all other services and items for you to use and enjoy the Service and the BFC, including, without limitation, access to the World Wide Web.

If you do not either have a shipping address that is an Eligible Shipping Address or engage a third party shipper located at an Eligible Shipping Address, you may still become a member of the BFC but we will be unable to ship physical items to you and you forfeit all BFC membership benefits associated with the shipping restriction.
