Such other websites may have their own terms of use or applicable policies and each user of the FAMS Pay online web site or any services provided therein (FAMS Sites/Services) is bound by the terms and conditions set forth in those other web sites unless said terms conflict with those contained herein. In case of conflicting terms of use, the terms set forth herein are controlling.
