Article 7 Account and Password

Before using the Service, the Customer must register an Account in accordance with the specified procedures. The Customer must register their own email address after confirming that it is not the email address of a third party, does not infringe the rights of a third party, and is not otherwise illegal. We reserve the right to refuse account registration for any reason, including, but not limited to, if the username may be impersonating another person, or may cause confusion. We reserve the right to change or delete any Account, with or without prior notice to the Customer, at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion.
The Customer acknowledges that it will have no ownership or proprietary rights to the registered Account. The Customer cannot transfer, loan, or pass on any of the usage rights in the Service to a third party.
When the Customer decides to provide us with their information to create an Account, the Customer agrees to: (a) provide accurate information about themself as prompted by the account registration process and (b) maintain and update their information to keep it accurate and up-to-date. If any information provided by the Customer is untrue, inaccurate, not up-to-date, or incomplete, we have the right to terminate the Customer's access to and use of the Service.

1. The Customer shall in particular:
  1. safeguard the confidentiality of their Account's username and password in particular when using national or international media, private messages, social media, or services on the Internet; this entails among others that the Customer shall:
    1. not communicate their username or password to any third party;
    2. only keep, if at all, encoded and separate written records of the username and the password, and keep those separate records in places protected against the access by any third party;
    3. change the password regularly, at least once a year;
  2. secure access to the hardware with which the Customer accesses the Service (i.e. by implementing additional passwords necessary to unlock the hardware, which again the Customer shall safeguard in the ways described in these Terms);

    3. take measures against computer viruses and hacks, including updating the version of the terminal and OS used.
2. If the Customer breaches any of their obligations under these Terms, the Customer is liable for statutory damages.
3. Given our considerable effort to ensure that only an adult becomes our contracting party and that only the Customer uses their Account, we will assume that the continual use of the Customer's Account is by the Customer themselves. We will therefore assume that any actions performed through the Account take effect directly in favor of and against the Customer.
In the event that a third party is able to use the Customer's Account with their permission or through negligence, we will consider any actions taken by the Customer or a third party on their Account to be their own actions. The Customer acknowledges that it is their own responsibility to ensure that the information registered by the Customer when using the Service is not used in an unauthorized manner by a third party. It is the Customer's responsibility to resolve any issue that arises as a result of the Customer's disclosure their own Account details to a third party, whether through domestic or international media, private correspondence, social media, Internet services, or otherwise. The Customer acknowledges that we shall bear no responsibility for any such unauthorized use.
As between the parties, the Customer shall bear all liability and responsibility for any acts performed in the Service through the Customer's Account and username by the Customer or by a third party on the Customer's Account and username as the Customer's own acts if the Customer could have prevented the use of their Account by applying reasonable care and in particular by complying with the obligations of these Terms.
If the Customer breaches these Terms and fails to comply with any warning notice, we reserve the right to delete or suspend the Customer's Account and information associated with the Customer's Account. All of the Customer's usage rights in the Service shall cease to exist when the Account is suspended, deleted or revoked, regardless of the reason.
