Accessing the Platform and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend The Platform, and any service or material we provide on the Platform, in our sole discretion without notice.

You are responsible for both:

Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Platform.
Ensuring that all persons who access the Platform through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.

To access the Platform or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Platform that all the information you provide on the Platform is correct, current, and complete.
