2. Registration and account

2.1. User information

All information received from you from your use of The Site will be used by The Operator in accordance with the Privacy Policies Statement listed on this site.

As part of the registration process, you will choose a user name (“User Name”) and password (“Password”) and become a user id (“ID”). You may not:

  • select or use a User Name of another person with intent to impersonate that person,
  • use a name subject to the rights of any other person without authorization,
  • use a User Name that The Operator, in its sole discretion, deems inappropiate or offensive.

You as a user must provide The Operator with accurate, complete registration information and it is your responsibility to update and maintain changes to that information via the the applicable profile pages. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of the Terms of Use and may result in immediate termination of your account. This is particularly important if you subscribe to receive any Paid For Services. The Operator is entitled to rely on any information you provide.

2.2. Responsibility

Each registration is for a single user only. The Operator does not permit any other person sharing your user name and password or access through a single name and password being made available to multiple users on a network. The Operator may cancel or suspend your access to The Site if you do this without further obligation to you.

You are responsible for all use of The Site and The Operator services by you or anyone else using your ID and for preventing unauthorised use of your ID. If you believe there has been any breach of security such as the disclosure, theft or unauthorised use of your ID or any payment information, you must notify The Operator immediately e.g. via e-mail or the contact form.

We strongly recommend that the selection of your password is not based on your own name or those of the family and that you change your password regularly. You shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.

2.3. Messages

If you provide The Operator with an e-mail address so that e-mails or SMS messages can be sent to you via a computer network or telephone operated or owned by a third party (e.g. your employer or college) then you warrant that you are entitled to receive those messages. You also agree that The Operator may refrain from sending you such messages, without notifying you, even if you have subscribed to receive them, if we receive a request from a third party to stop sending e-mails or SMS messages to you.

2.4. Termination

The Operator may terminate a user’s account in The Operator’s absolute discretion and for any reason.

The Operator is especially likely to terminate for reasons that include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. violation of these Terms and Conditions;
  2. abuse of Site/Infrastructure resources or attempt to gain unauthorized entry to The Site/Infrastructure or its resources;
  3. use of The Site in a manner inconsistent with the business purpose;
  4. a user’s request for such termination;
  5. any other abusive, fraudulent or otherwise illegal activity or

The Operator’s termination of any user’s access to any or all The Operator Sites may be effected without notice and, on such termination, The Operator may immediately deactivate or delete user’s account and/or bar any further access to such files.

The Operator shall not be liable to any user or other third party for any termination of that user’s access or account hereunder.

In addition, a user’s request for termination will result in deactivation but not necessarily deletion of the account. The Operator reserves the right to delete, or not delete, a user’s account at The Operator’s sole discretion, as well as to delete, or not delete, User Materials at The Operator’s sole discretion.

At The Operator’s sole discretion, you may also be reported to appropriate law-enforcement organisations for any abusive, fraudulent or otherwise illegal activity.
