completing the registration process and providing their name, year of birth, graduation year (or, in the case of workplace or military affiliations,
years at such affiliation), and an email address. Free members are required to affiliate with at least one high school, college, work or military
community. In addition, free members can elect to provide information about their personal interests and post photos.
Free members have free access to the following features:
•
Search.
Free members can use our search feature to locate individuals within communities of interest and to browse our member
database which is currently differentiated by high school, college, workplace or military unit. Our school communities are further
subdivided into new members, teachers and staff, parents and friends, and missing members.
•
Post profile information.
Free members can post information about themselves, including personal profiles, biography
information, photos, affiliations, and answers to our multiple choice questions about life, love, family, and hobbies.
• View editorial content. Free members can view other members' posted information, including personal profiles, biography
information, photo albums, affiliations, and answers to our multiple choice questions about life, love, family, and hobbies.
• Email. Free members have the ability to send double-blind emails (where email addresses are not visible to the email sender or
recipient) through our Web site to other Classmates members and respond to email messages received from our paying
subscribers. However, free members are not able to read and respond to emails from other free members.
• Read message boards. Free members have access to, and can read messages posted on, our interest group message boards
encompassing a range of topics, including college life, fraternities and sororities, sports, politics, travel, hobbies, current events,
and family life.
• Newsletter. Free members can subscribe to our weekly "Connections" newsletter that contains information on the various
features available on Classmates, a listing of new members who joined their communities that week and announcements relating
to new content posted by members within their communities.
• Reunions.
Reunions and events can be organized and invitations can be sent through the Classmates Web site. Free members can
read posted information regarding reunions and events on our Web site.
Gold Membership. Gold membership on our Classmates Web site is a paid subscription service that provides members with access to all
of the features of a free membership as well as several additional features.
Paying members have access to the following additional features:
• Digital guestbook. Our digital guestbook feature serves as an "icebreaker" to initiate communication between acquaintances by
alerting a Classmates member when another member visits his or her profile, if the visiting member chooses to leave his or her
name. However, only a paying member is able to see the name of the member that visited his or her profile.
• Email. Paying members have the ability to send double-blind emails through our Web site to other Classmates members and
respond to email messages from any other Classmates member, whether a free member or a paying subscriber.
•
Post to message boards.
In addition to reading information posted by members on our Classmates message boards, paying
members are able to directly post content on the message boards and post pictures in the photo albums devoted to their affiliated
communities.
