S1G encourages discretion when browsing the Internet using our or anyone else's service.

SECURITY
As part of the registration process, each User, including every person with a family User subaccount, will select a password and User Name ("User Name"). You shall provide S1G with accurate, complete, and updated Account information. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, which may result in immediate termination of your Account and/or your family User Account. You may not (i) select or use a User Name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use a name subject to the rights of any other person without authorization; or (iii) use a User Name that S1G, in its sole discretion, deems inappropriate or offensive.

Each Parent Account must be 18 years or older to establish an Account; however, you may also establish subaccounts for family Users of all ages, and each such Account shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. If S1G becomes aware that a Parent Account is under the age of 18, S1G reserves the right to cancel the Account. Any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity may be grounds for termination of your Account, at S1G's sole discretion, and you may be reported to appropriate law-enforcement agencies.

If you have reason to believe that your Account is no longer secure (for example, in the event of a loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of your User Name, password, or any credit, debit, or charge card number stored on the Service), you must promptly change your password and notify S1G of the problem (by notice given as described in the Notice section below) to avoid possible liability for any unauthorized charges to your Account.

Under COPPA, parental consent is required for the online collection, use and/or disclosure of personal information obtained from a child under the age of 13. As part of the registration process, the Parent Account holder will be asked to provide a valid email address and by providing this email account, the Parent Account holder: (a) represents and warrants that he or she is the parent or legal guardian of any child under the age of 13 for whom he or she allows to use the Parent Account; and (b) agrees to our collection, use and disclosure of personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy with respect to any child under the age of 13 for whom the Parent Account holder allows to use the Parent Account.

NOTICE
The Parent Account will submit and maintain a correct e-mail address and other Account information. We may give notice to the Parent Account by means of a general notice on the Service, electronic mail to your e-mail address on record in our Account information, or by written communication sent by first-class mail to your address on record in our Account information.
