- If you leave your Electronic Access Device without logging out, write your PIN down in a public space or share your details with anybody, We will not be liable for any errors, or results that may come of it.
- We will always use all reasonable efforts to keep the Platform and service safe, and your security settings will help us narrow it further down.

- You are required to change your security options if you believe any part of your security has been compromised.
- When you notify us of your intention to change your password, PIN or security options, we will, with your approval, delete these details and allow you to set up new ones.
- After initial registration, we will not contact you (or ask anyone to do so on our behalf) with a request to disclose your log in details or transaction password/PIN. If you receive any such request from anyone (even if they are using our name and logo and appear to be genuine) then it is likely to be fraudulent and you must not provide your log in details to them under any circumstances. Also, you should report any such request to us immediately.
- Upon your registration or approval of certain services, you give us permission to deduct any fees we communicate or notify you on any transaction or service. If these fees change, you will be notified before consummating any transaction and given the option to opt out of this service.
