3. Correctly completing the Registration Form involves providing: (a) a login (e-mail address) and a secure password (containing at least 8 characters, a minimum of one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one number and one special character).

b. he is of legal age and entitled to conclude a contract for the provision of the Services.

5. Upon receipt of a correctly completed Registration Form or completed Authentication, the Service Provider creates an Unconfirmed Account with a name corresponding to the e-mail address provided by the User. An activation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address provided by the User to confirm the creation of the Account. The user has 60 days from the date of receipt of the activation link to make a confirmation of the set-up of the Account. Confirmation of the setting up of an Account provides the User with access to the Account and the possibility of using the Services. If the User does not confirm the creation of the Account within 60 days from the date of receipt of the activation link, the User will not have access to the Account and will not be able to use the Services. During the period of 60 days from the date on which the activation link is sent to the User, the Service Provider may send the User, at the indicated e-mail address, messages reminding him/her to confirm the establishment of the Account. After this period, an unconfirmed Account will be anonymised.

6. The User accepts the necessity of having a current, active e-mail address. This address is provided directly in the Registration Form or obtained by the Service Provider in the event that the User makes an Authentication. The User is obliged to monitor the provided e-mail address on an ongoing basis and, in the event of a change, to update this information in his Account immediately.

9. The User shall access the created Account by means of his or her login (e-mail address) and a self-established password. Instead of entering a login and password, the User may perform Authentication.

10. The User is obliged not to disclose the password to any third party.

11. The Agreement is concluded for an indefinite period of time.
