 3. ACCOUNTS AND OTHER USE OF SERVICES

3.1 Account Registration

While certain areas of the Platform are publicly available, you must register for a User account before you are able to use most of the Services (as determined by the Company). You may register to create an account directly via the App or Website. You may not register for an account on behalf of any person (other than yourself).

Your account and account profile page will be created based upon the information you provide to us. You agree to provide complete, accurate and up-to-date information during the registration process and to update such information as necessary to ensure that it remains complete, accurate and up-to-date.

When you create your account, you will be asked to create a password or PIN, which you will be solely responsible for safeguarding. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords or PINs (passwords or PINs that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your Company account or any other account that you may connect to your Company account. You agree not to disclose your password or PIN to any third party, and you agree to immediately notify Company of any unauthorized use of your account. You further acknowledge and agree that you will be solely responsible for any activities or actions on or through your account, including by your Linked Users, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

For corporate Users, designated administrators will set up a primary account, and will designate the individuals who are eligible to sign up for subaccounts. Administrators for each User will have access to manage and view activities associated with the subaccounts registered to that User. (For simplicity, both accounts and subaccounts will be referred to hereafter as “accounts”).

You may designate Linked Users at any time. Unlike primary account-holder Users that must be eighteen (18) years of age or older, Linked Users must be sixteen (16) years of age or older at the time of registration. All activities conducted by Linked Users in connection with your account shall be deemed your activity for the purpose of these Terms. While certain Linked Users may also be independent Users of the Platform, all activities by Linked Users when acting as a secondary account holder for your account will be tied to your account including, without limitation, access to any available funds and promotional credits.

3.2 Account and Services Suspension and Cancellation

You may cancel your account at any time.

We may, in our discretion, without liability to you and without limiting our other remedies, with or without prior notice and at any time, decide to limit, suspend, deactivate or cancel your account and/or take technical and legal steps to prevent you from using our Platform and Services at any time for any reason. Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account or your access to the Platform or the Services if you create more than one account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter or your use of the Services is determined to be incomplete, inaccurate, out dated, deceptive or fraudulent.

We reserve the right to cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a prolonged period of time. We also reserve the right to cancel accounts of Users who fail to comply with the Terms, including the terms and conditions regarding User conduct, as set forth in the “General User Conduct” section below and elsewhere in the Terms.

If Company has suspended your account or your use of the Services due to your actual or suspected breach of the Terms, such suspension will continue until the suspected breach is cured or otherwise resolved to Company’s reasonable satisfaction.

 4. PAYMENT TERMS
