Accounts
Accounts on the Service are available only to persons of legal age to form a binding contract and who are not barred from receiving services under the laws of Canada, the US or other jurisdictions in which we operate, or to minor children over the age of 13. A minor over the age of 13 may use the Service only if registered to do so by his or her Parent. A Parent registering a minor child over the age of 13 accepts full responsibility for all obligations under this Agreement. Under no circumstances will the Service be available to minors under age 13.
By registering an account, you represent that you are a person of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of Canada, the US or other jurisdictions and are either accepting this Agreement on behalf of yourself or your minor child. Accounts are personal and may not be shared with, or transferred to, anyone, except for a parent or guardian, who may permit one child over the age of 13 to use the Account instead of you (in which case you may not use that account). You are liable for all activities conducted through the Account, and parents or guardians are liable for the activities of their minor children. Corporations and other entities are not eligible to register for an account.
It is your responsibility to keep your account access restricted to you individually. Your account is only allowed to be used by you individually and not shared with any other individuals or entities. Contact us immediately if you believe that your password or other account information has been compromised or taken.
Registration
To create an account, you must register to use the Service. To register, you must provide your full name and e-mail address, and select a user name. User names shall not contain profanity or defamatory or derogatory marks in any language; infringe on the rights of any person, whether living or dead; contain names of celebrities or media personalities; or violate trademarks. Upon registration, you must choose a password. You are also required to provide complete and accurate user information. We strive to respect your privacy by only requiring that you provide your name and an e-mail address; however, you may provide additional information upon registration. As a condition of using the Service, you agree that all user information you provide will be accurate. If you provide inaccurate information, your account may be terminated.
