  • When registering to use the Services, each Permitted User must agree to comply with this Agreement.  The User is responsible for the Permitted User’s use of the Services in respect of the User’s activities.  A breach of any term of this Agreement by the User’s Permitted User is deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the User.
  • The User controls each Permitted User’s access to the Service in relation to that User at all times and can revoke or change a Permitted User’s access, or level of access, at any time and for any reason, in which case that person or entity will cease to be a Permitted User or shall have that different level of access, as the case may be.
