Security Recommendations

You must keep your password and username secret and must take all reasonable precautions to prevent the fraudulent use of it. You must never disclose the username and password to anyone other than your joint account holder (if relevant). You should not use the password for any other purpose. You should not write down your username and password in a way which could mean they can be understood by someone else.

When accessing the Service, you should make sure that your password will not be kept in any form (by browser or any other software) in such a way that other users of the same workstation can gain access to the Service.

If you think that someone else may know your username or password or has used them without your permission or if you have forgotten your password you should contact us immediately.
