or all of the following services: (a) email; (b) meta-search;

for the Services (though Company may do so at any time in
the future), but may charge for enhancements User may elect
to obtain (e.g., Mail Plus). Company reserves the right
to delete any User's account if such User does not access
such account for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days.
Company and Client also reserve the right to modify or discontinue,

have the right to terminate User's account and refuse any
