When you create an account with us, you must complete the sign-up process by providing us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information at all times. Failure to respect this obligation is a violation of the Conditions, and may result in the immediate closure of your account on our Services.

It is strictly forbidden to use an account without the account holder’s authorization.

You must notify us as soon as you become aware of any security breach or unauthorized use of your account. We will accept no liability for any loss that you may incur as a result of the fraudulent use of your password or account, whether it is done with or without your knowledge. You may be held liable for our losses, or those incurred by a third party, if someone else uses your account or password.

We endeavor to implement reasonable security measures to protect you from all unauthorized access to your account and personal information. However, we cannot guarantee the security of your account, your content (as defined below) or the personal information you provide, nor can we guarantee that our security measures will prevent “hackers” from illegally accessing the Services or their content.
