2. 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.

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.
