StyleHitch Account 2.1 You may browse some areas of the Site and Services anonymously, but in order to use many of the features of the Service, you must register with StyleHitch to create a StyleHitch user account (“Account”). In order to create an Account and become a Registered User, you will be required to provide the following information to StyleHitch: (a) your first and last names; (b) your e-mail address; (c) the name of your company (if applicable); and (d) such other information as StyleHitch may request from time-to-time. In addition, if you are creating a Company Profile for your company (i.e., you are the first Registered User to use the Services on behalf of your company), StyleHitch reserves the right to approve any and all new Accounts. You should not create a new Company Profile for your company if a Company Profile already exists for your company, unless you believe that it is reasonably necessary to create an additional Company Profile(s) (e.g., you are a large company and wish to have separate Company Profiles for your affiliates, divisions, or for different types of products or services offered by you). However, StyleHitch may refuse to approve a new Company Profile, or may in the future cancel a Company Profile where more than one Company Profile exists for your company, if StyleHitch does not believe that there is a reasonable basis for such additional Company Profile(s); provided however, that StyleHitch has no obligation to do so. By registering to open an Account and where applicable, creating a Company Profile, you hereby agree that StyleHitch may include and make your Content (as defined in Section 7.1 below) available as part of the Services and provide such Content to other Registered Users of the Site, Services and App. 2.2 By creating an Account and where applicable, creating a Company Profile, you represent and warrant that: (a) all information you submit in connection with the opening and use of your Account is true, accurate, current, and complete; (b) you have the authority to enter into these Terms and bind the company or other business entity on whose behalf you access the Site and use the Services; (c) the street address you use when registering to use the Services, and where applicable, creating a Company Profile, is the principal place of business of the company or other business entity on whose behalf you access the Site and use the Services; (d) your use of the Site, App or Services does not and will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation; (e) you will promptly notify StyleHitch1 if your information changes so that StyleHitch1 can update its records and ensure that your information remains current; and (f) you are aged 18 or older; the Services are not intended for persons under 18. We reserve the right to verify the identity of any Registered User, although we have no obligation to do so. 2.3 You are solely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of the information in your Account, including, without limitation, your user name and password, and for any and all activity that occurs through your Account as a result of your failure to keep this information secure and confidential. You hereby agree to notify StyleHitch immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your Account, user name or password, or any other breach of security in connection therewith. You may be held liable for losses incurred by StyleHitch1 or any third party due to someone else using your Account, user name or password as a result of your failing to keep your Account information secure and confidential. You are strictly prohibited from using anyone else's Account, user name or password at any time and for any reason. You may not assign, sell or transfer your Account, user name or password to any other person. StyleHitch1 is not liable to you or any third party for your failure to comply with your obligations under this paragraph. 2.4 A fee may be required to register for exhibitor accounts for certain shows or to use certain functionality and tools provided by the Services. Such fees, if any, will be listed on the Site or on the individual show’s site. You agree to pay all applicable fees related to your use of the Services with credit card payments. We may suspend or terminate your Account and/or access to the Services if your payment is late and/or your credit card cannot be processed. By providing StyleHitch1 with your credit card information, you expressly authorize us to charge the applicable fees on said credit card as well as taxes and other charges incurred thereto at regular intervals. StyleHitch1 and the organizations who conduct shows through the Services reserve the right to change prices for Accounts at any time, and do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price decreases.
