As part of the process of your registration as a user of the Services, we will issue or approve (subject to any applicable validation requirements) a single User ID and password (together being a “Login”) to you.

You are liable for, and we may rely upon, all use of the Services, and all instructions, requests and information submitted to us in connection with any use of the Login, including where the information or request is submitted:

(b) by a person using the Login fraudulently or without authority; or
(c) by means of a machine rather than by direct or indirect human intervention or initiation.

You must:
(a) keep the Login secure at all times, including by not recording it in any form (electronic or otherwise) in clear text, except where recording the Login is strictly necessary, in which case:

(ii) it must be stored securely (not on a desk, monitor or in your wallet/purse);
(b) notify us immediately upon becoming aware that the Login may be lost or stolen, or becoming aware or suspecting that another person knows the Login, or has used the Login, without your authority; and
