  2. ACCOUNTS

     

    1. When accessing the Services, you will be directed to establish a User Account in association with your use of the Services (an “Account”) Establishing an Account requires that you provide to FormFire your designated email address and that you select and enter a password.  FormFire will then request your permission to send you notifications. You may withhold your consent to receive notifications, but doing so may impact your ability to fully utilize the Services.  After establishing an Account, you will be sent a verification email to the email address you provided for the purpose of verifying your account ID.  You will be instructed to click on the link in the verification email to complete the registration process.  In addition to the information collected in the registration process described above, once you have registered, we may ask you for additional information to create your FormFire user profile such as your telephone number, address, and in some cases, credit card or other billing information for additional services you may order which may be stored by a third party processor with which we have a business relationship.  Answering these questions allows us to establish and maintain your Account, and helps us to set up and maintain a customized experience. Your email address will be stored and used as an identifier for you and for communications to you from FormFire.

    2. You represent and warrant that: (i) all required information you submit is truthful and accurate; (ii) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (iii) your use of the Services will not violate any U.S. or other applicable law or regulation (e.g., you are not located in an embargoed country or are not listed as a prohibited or restricted party under applicable export control laws and regulations).  You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to maintain your password securely to prevent others from gaining access without your permission. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use, of your Account or any other breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

    3. The individual who creates an Account is the “owner” of that Account. Individuals who are authorized to access or otherwise provided access by the owner to the Services are “Authorized Users.” Authorized Users may have the ability to use the Services. Authorized Users are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Services, but the owner of the applicable Account also hereby agrees to be fully responsible for all actions taken by Authorized Users relating to the owner’s the Services and the owner’s Account. If you are an owner who invites or enables an Authorized User, you acknowledge and agree that such Authorized User may subsequently invite or enable other Authorized Users with the same access and ability to use the Services set out above.
