2. User Details and Portal Credentials

• In order to access certain features of the Portal, you will be required to provide information about yourself (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process or as part of your continued use of the Portal. You agree that you will not misrepresent your identity and that any such information you give to Provider will always be accurate, correct, not misleading and up to date. You agree that Provider may rely on that information unless and until it receives notice from you of any change or update to the information provided by you.
• You agree and understand that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Portal credentials, including user ID and password.

Provider cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
• Unauthorized use and allocation of Portal credentials, including passwords, may lead to revocation of access to this Portal for you or your organization. You agree that you will be solely responsible to Provider for all activities that occur under your Portal credentials. You must immediately notify Provider if you become aware that your Portal credentials, including password details, have been compromised or are known by a third party or there has been unauthorized use of your account and login details.

 

3. Access to and Use of the Portal

• You are responsible for ensuring a secure internet connection is used to connect to the Portal.

You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) any part of the Portal through any automated means, including use of scripts, web crawlers, "robot", "spider", "scraper" or other automated means.

Important: If you are using a shared computer, once you have completed using the Portal, you must log out by selecting the log out link and close your browser before leaving the computer unattended. This will prevent unauthorized access to your personal and/or commercial information by others.

You will not circumvent or attempt to circumvent any measure effected by Provider to prevent or restrict access to the Portal. For security purposes and to ensure that our services remain available to all users, we monitor network traffic. This monitoring is done to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or to otherwise cause damage.
• The accessibility and operation of this Portal relies on internet technologies outside of Provider' control. Provider does not guarantee continuous accessibility or uninterrupted operation of this Portal. Provider will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, or expense resulting from any delay in operation or transmission, communications failure, internet access difficulties and malfunctions in equipment or software.
• Provider does not accept liability for the security, authenticity, integrity or confidentiality of any transactions and other communications made through this Portal. Internet communications may be susceptible to interference or interception by third parties. Provider will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from any breach of a security measure (including viruses or other unauthorized software).
• You agree that you will not reproduce, adapt, duplicate, copy, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, modify, communicate, sell, trade or resell the Portal, or any portion, feature, or content thereof, for any purpose, without Provider's written permission.
