This Agreement applies to all users of the Sites or Service, including users who are also contributors of content, information, and other site materials or services. If you disagree to be bound by this Agreement, you may not access or use the Sites or the Service.

If, after your electronic acceptance of this Agreement, the Company finds that you do not have the legal authority to bind such corporate entity, you will be personally responsible for the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the payment obligations. Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from Company’s reliance on any instruction, notice, document or communication reasonably believed by Company to be genuine and originating from an authorised representative of your corporate entity. If there is reasonable doubt about the authenticity of any such instruction, notice, document or communication, Company reserves the right (but undertakes no duty) to require additional authentication from you. You further agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for transactions entered into by you, anyone acting as your agent and anyone who uses your account or the Service, whether or not authorised by you.
