However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by our systems.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and notifying us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
