1. Registration
The person registering for an account will be automatically assigned as an administrator (“Administrator”), the Customer contact who has day to day responsibility for the Customer account. Your account is only for use by either a single legal entity (e.g. a company or a partnership) or an individual user. You must provide the Customer legal full name, address, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process. The Customer acknowledges that, if the Customer allows a third party to open an account on their behalf or designates any of the third party’s personnel as Super Administrators of the Customer’s account, the third party will be able to control account information, including Customer Data, and access to the Customer’s account.
You may invite users to access your account (“Users”) by inviting them to register as a User. You confirm that all Users are 16 years old or older.
You must not upload or enter any personal data, revealing: (i) racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership; (ii) data concerning health or sex life or sexual orientation; or (iii) genetic data or biometric data, (“Sensitive Personal Data”) into the Service, without having received written consent from the individual concerned.

These actions may result in changes to the access, use, disclosure, modification or deletion of certain or all Customer Data.
Invited Users may access the Service and submit content or information (“Customer Data”) subject to the provisions of these Customer Terms. You shall ensure that all Users comply with these Customer Terms and you shall be liable for any breaches of the Customer Terms caused by any acts or omissions of Users as if the Customer had carried out such acts or omissions itself.

The Customer may request our help in providing audit activity to help ascertain any breaches. We shall act with reasonable care in providing audit assistance but shall have no liability for any loss or damage arising as a result of providing such audit assistance.
If a person proven to be acting on behalf of the Customer asks us to replace a Super Administrator we will only make the change if there is only one Super Administrator on the Account and/or we are lawfully obliged to do so (i.e. by court order, or if requested by the Customer in circumstances where the Super Administrator cannot make the change such as in the event of their death). In such circumstances, we will require acceptable evidence of the Super Administrator’s inability to make the change.
