Please fax to: 415-381-0938 TERMS AND CONDITIONS and PRIVACY POLICY Terms and Conditions Effective: May 21, 2008 1. Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions. 1.1 Introduction; Acceptance. BioArts International Ltd., a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business located at 38 Miller Avenue, Suite 12, Mill Valley, California 94941 (herein referred to as the “BioArts,” “we,” “us” or “our”) provides and makes available this online auction web site hosted by ProxiBid and located at http://www.proxibid.com/bioarts or any subsequent URL used by us (the “Web Site”) which allows users to bid for certain animal cloning services as further described on the Web Site (the “Auctioned Services”) pursuant to Auctions (as defined below) that are conducted by McCormack Auction Company (the “Auctioneer”) on behalf of BioArts. All use of the Web Site is subject to the terms and conditions contained in these Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy (collectively, this “Agreement”). Please read this Agreement carefully. By participating or continuing to participate in any Auction or accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Web Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. We recommend that you print this Agreement and keep copies for your records. If you do not accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you shall not participate or continue to participate in any Auction or access, browse, or otherwise use the Web Site. References to “you” mean the person participating or continuing to participate in any Auction or accessing, browsing, or otherwise using this Web Site and/or the entity such person represents during the course of employment or engagement by that entity. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything on the Web Site or other materials related to the Web Site to the contrary, you hereby acknowledge that the Auctions are conducted by the Auctioneer (on behalf of BioArts). 1.2 Changes. You understand and agree that we may change this Agreement at any time without prior notice. You may read a current, effective copy of this Agreement at any time by selecting the “Terms and Conditions” link on the Web Site. The revised terms and conditions will become effective when we send notification to you of such revised terms and conditions. Any use of the Web Site after such date shall constitute your acceptance of such revised terms and conditions. If any change to this Agreement is not acceptable to you, your sole remedy is to cease participating in any Auction or accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Web Site. 2. Auctions. 2.1 Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) "Auction(s)" means the content, features and functionality provided via this Web Site to facilitate the online auction operated by the Auctioneer through which BioArts offers to sell and you bid to buy the Auctioned Services. (b) “Buyer’s Premium” means a NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-CREDITABLE ten percent (10%) of the winning bid price of each Auctioned Service purchased, which winning bidders are required and agree to pay in addition to payment of the winning bid price. (c) “Qualification Requirements” means the conditions that you must meet before registering for or participating in any Auction, including without limitation that you must (i) be aged 21 years or over and be legally capable of forming binding contracts and incurring binding contractual obligations, (ii) own a live dog from which your veterinarian can obtain a viable tissue sample, or have gene-banked viable tissue of a live or deceased dog, in each case that you would like to clone, and (iii) have available cash or a credit line, or other liquid assets, of at least US$250,000. The Qualification Requirements are available at http://BestFriendsAgain.com/Auction and are subject to change at our discretion. 2.2 Registration. Subject to the terms hereof, you can browse the Web Site at any time without registering; however, to participate in any of the Auctions, you must meet the Qualification Requirements and register by completing the online "Create Bidder Account" form (the “Registration Form”) on the http://www.proxibid.com/bioarts Web Site and you must agree to both ProxiBid’s terms and conditions and these Terms and Conditions during registration. Please note that registering one time will grant you access to participate in any of the five (5) initial dog cloning Auctions that are conducted on the Web Site. If you do not want to provide any information requested in the Registration Form, you shall not register for or participate in any Auction. By registering, you represent and warrant that all information you provide on the Registration Form is true, accurate and complete, that you will immediately update any such information to make it true, accurate and complete (by using the "Personal Profile" tab in your “Bidder Account”), and if you are registering on behalf of an entity, you further represent and warrant that you have the right, power and authority to bind such entity to this Agreement. You will provide any evidence requested by us to verify any information you provide to us or any of the foregoing representations and warranties. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to refuse any application to register for or participate in the Auction. 2.3 Username and Password. Upon registering, you will be asked to create a unique username and password. You shall hold and secure your username and password as strictly confidential, and you shall not allow any other person or entity access to or use of such username and password. You should not share, display, disclose or permit your username or password to be disclosed to any other party. You are responsible for participation in the Auction and any other activity on the Web Site when access is obtained through the use of your username and password, whether authorized or unauthorized. You agree not to impersonate any other person or entity or use any false name or use any other person's user name and password to access any Auction. If you believe that your username and/or password has become known to another person or you are aware of any other breach of security regarding the Auction or Web Site, then you shall notify us immediately in accordance with Section 9. You shall ensure that you properly exit the Web Site at the completion of your session. 2.4 Bidding. You can only make a bid for Auctioned Services and otherwise participate in any Auction if you are registered in accordance with Section 2.2. You shall comply with any instructions or notifications posted on the Web Site from time to time in relation to bidding in any Auction. All Auctions will be conducted in U.S. Dollars ("$"). You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds to cover the cost of all of your bids and the Buyer’s Premium and to make payment in accordance with the applicable payment method. Any bid for Auctioned Services that you make via this Web Site constitutes a legal offer to buy the Auctioned Service from BioArts. You shall have no right to retract a bid except to the extent BioArts is required to allow you to retract such bid under applicable law. We shall have the right to set applicable minimum bids or reserve requirements and are entitled to change such minimum bids and reserve requirements at any time before or during the Auction period. If an Auction subject to a reserve ends and the reserve price is not met, you and BioArts are released from any obligation to purchase and sell, respectively, the Auctioned Service. Any bid you make will remain open for the time period specified on the Web Site. To help prevent “sniping” (i.e., bidding at the last second of an Auction), this Web Site supports extended bidding on timed Auctions, which means that if a bid is placed during the final five minutes of an Auction, the Auction is automatically extended for five more minutes, and so on. The winning bid in any Auction will be the highest bid to be registered by us at the end of each Auction that exceeds the reserve price (if any) and meets the conditions that are specific to that Auction. Should a tie or a dispute arise between two bidders, we or the Auctioneer may, at our discretion, re-open the bidding until the Auctioned Service is sold. The record of the Auction made by us and/or the Auctioneer shall be conclusive. 2.5 Winning Bids; Client Agreement. By bidding for an Auctioned Service you agree (i) to be bound by any conditions of sale included in the Auctioned Service’s description on the Web Site and (ii) that, if you have placed the highest bid which is (where applicable) at or above any reserve price and we have confirmed acceptance of your bid, you have entered into a legally binding contract to buy the Auctioned Service from us. If you are the winning bidder, we will contact you immediately after the Auction to confirm acceptance of your bid and the amount of the winning bid. We will also send you (a) details related to the performance of the Auctioned Services, (b) the client service agreement for the Auctioned Services (the “Client Agreement”), which you shall sign and return to us within three (3) business days of receipt, and (c) an invoice sent by ProxiBid for the full amount of the winning bid, plus the Buyer’s Premium, by postal mail, which you shall pay by money order, certified cashier check or wire transfer within three (3) business days of receipt. You also agree to provide us with the following: (i) bank wire instructions information if you are paying by wire transfer; (ii) information about the animal for which the service would be performed, including name, species, breed, health, and gender; information about the animal owner including name, address, phone number, and email address; and information about the animal’s veterinarian, including such veterinarian’s name, clinic name, address, and phone and fax numbers. 2.6 If we are unable to contact you within 48 hours of the conclusion of the Auction or at any time we believe there is or may be a problem with your payment for any Auctioned Service, then we will be entitled in our discretion to offer the Auctioned Service to the next highest bidder or to conduct another Auction for such Auctioned Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the execution of the Client Agreement and payment of such invoice are express conditions that you must fulfill prior to BioArts being obligated to provide the Auctioned Service to you. If you are a winning bidder, you shall be responsible for all taxes (including sales tax) applicable to your purchase of the Auctioned Services, and you shall indemnify and hold us harmless against any claim arising from your failure to pay such taxes. 3.

BioArts and Best Friends Again PRIVACY POLICY This Privacy Policy was last updated on May 21, 2008. Our Policy: Welcome to the web site(s) (collectively, the “Site”) of BioArts International, Ltd. (“BioArts”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”). This Site is operated by BioArts and has been created to provide information about our company to our Site visitors (“you”, “your”) and to provide other information regarding registration for the auctions (the “Auctions”) that will be conducted by McCormack Auction Company on behalf of BioArts and hosted by ProxiBid at http://www.ProxiBid.com/BioArts. This Privacy Policy sets forth BioArts’ policy with respect to information, including personally identifiable data (“Personal Data”) and other information that is collected from Site visitors. Please also review ProxiBid’s privacy policy, which applies to ProxiBid’s use of your Personal Data. Our Commitment: BioArts takes your privacy seriously. We will never share information about you without your permission or except as described in this Privacy Policy. Information We Collect: When you interact with us through the Site, we and/or ProxiBid may collect Personal Data and other information from you, as further described below: Registration for Auctions: Registration for the Auctions is free and is hosted on http://www.ProxiBid.com/BioArts. Anyone who registers for an Auction account must provide to ProxiBid a correct name, address, phone number, and email address, and choose a username and password (“Registration Information”). BioArts will collect all Registration Information from ProxiBid for our records in order to provide the relevant services. Information Provided by Users Who Bid For Our Services on the Auction Site: To bid for our services, Site users must provide a bank reference letter in addition to the above registration information. Successful bidders will also be asked to provide bank wire instruction information, as well as information about the animal for which the service would be performed, including name, species, breed, health, and gender; information about the animal owner including name, address, phone number, and email address; and information about the animal’s veterinarian, including such veterinarian’s name, clinic name, address, and phone and fax numbers. Personal Data That You Provide Through the Site: In addition to registration for the Auctions, we collect Personal Data from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys, register for access to BioArts Services or use certain BioArts Services. Wherever BioArts collects Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy. By voluntarily providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data to this Site, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of BioArts and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States. Other Information: IP Addresses: When connected to the Internet, a computer has a unique Internet ID called an IP (Internet Protocol) address. We use the IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Web site, and to gather broad demographic information. Also, when someone uses our website to order our services or participate in an Auction, we record the user's IP address to help us identify fraudulent credit card use. We may share this with the financial institution that issued the credit card, or with law enforcement authorities, if we determine that use of the credit card was fraudulent. Non-Identifiable Data: When you interact with BioArts through the Site, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. BioArts may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by BioArts affiliates, agents or service providers. This Site may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, and the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process. Also, in operating this Site, we use a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Site gives to your browser when you access the Site. Our cookies help keep track of users' Auction bids, deliver content specific to users' interests, help us analyze Site usage more accurately and provide additional functionality to the Site. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Site without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Site’s features. Without cookies, the Sites would not be able to track usernames and passwords, or enable secure online service bidding. Aggregated Personal Data: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of BioArts Services, BioArts often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and BioArts may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. BioArts may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes. Our Use of Your Personal Data and Other Information: BioArts uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Data in order to obtain access to BioArts Services, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such services. BioArts and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “BioArts Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Data and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the Site to help us improve the content and functionality of the Site, to better understand our users and to improve BioArts Services. BioArts and its affiliates may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to "opt-out" of receiving future communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below. If BioArts intends on using any Personal Data in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Data is collected. Our Disclosure of Your Personal Data and Other Information: BioArts is not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below: Transactions: BioArts may share your Personal Data (including bank wire transfer information) with third parties to the extent necessary to complete a transaction. For example, if a user successfully bids on a BioArts product or service and wishes to pay by wire transfer, BioArts will share the bank wire transfer information with the appropriate authorization and processing banks for the purpose of effecting such payment. Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets. Related Companies: We may also share your Personal Data with our Related Companies for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: BioArts, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases and processing payments. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function. Legal Requirements: BioArts may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of BioArts, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability. Security: BioArts takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data provided via the Site from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, and to limit access to Personal Data only to authorized BioArts staff and to the person who provided the information or on whose behalf it was provided. For example, if a veterinarian provided BioArts with the name and address of the animal owner on whose behalf the veterinarian placed an order for service, the veterinarian and the animal owner would be the only ones other than BioArts staff to have access to that information. BioArts requires valid usernames and passwords for all users wishing to access personal information associated with their accounts. Users who bid on services from BioArts will receive information related to their accounts from BioArts by e-mail, fax, and/or regular mail, but may discontinue such contact by terminating their accounts (see "Correcting, Updating, and Deleting Personal Information," below). Please note, however, that no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this Site may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Data to BioArts via the Internet. Correcting, Updating, and Deleting Personal Information: Users who have established accounts for the Auctions on the Site may change, update or delete any of the information they have provided to ProxiBid by calling ProxiBid at (402) 505-7770 or emailing ProxiBid at info@proxibid.com. You can access your Bidder Profile through the login option on the ProxiBid homepage. If you find an error in your Bidder Profile, please send an e-mail to techsupport@proxibid.com notifying ProxiBid of the error. Please include credible evidence of the error and the correct information for your Bidder Profile. Exclusions: This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Personal Data collected by BioArts other than Personal Data collected through the Site. This Privacy Policy shall not apply to any unsolicited information you provide to BioArts through this Site or through any other means. This includes, but is not limited to, unsolicited submissions (collectively, “Unsolicited Information”). All Unsolicited Information shall be deemed to be non-confidential and BioArts shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, and distribute such Unsolicited Information to others without limitation or attribution. Links to Other Web Sites: This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. This Site may contain links to other web sites not operated or controlled by BioArts (the “Third Party Sites”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. The links from this Site do not imply that BioArts endorses or has reviewed the Third Party Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies. Other Terms and Conditions: Your access to and use of this Site is subject to the BioArts and Best Friends Again Terms and Conditions. Changes to BioArts’s Privacy Policy: At times it may be necessary for BioArts to make changes to this Privacy Policy. BioArts reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time without prior notice. In the event that BioArts changes this Privacy Policy, we will notify users by posting the changed Privacy Policy on this Site. Please review this policy periodically, and especially before you provide any Personal Data. Your continued use of the Site after any changes or revisions to this Privacy Policy shall indicate your agreement with the terms of such revised Privacy Policy.
