Your use of the information, graphics and materials on these Portals (Portal Material) is governed by the Terms of Use and the relevant EQL Group Member’s Privacy Statement.

You acknowledge and agree that your access to, and use of, the Portal constitutes your acceptance of, and agreement to, the Terms of Use and the Privacy Statement as in force.

Termination

In addition, an EQL Group Member may terminate your access to, and use of, a Portal for any reason, at any time without notice, and may request the submission of information or forms by an alternative means.  Upon any such termination, the Terms of Use will continue as an agreement between that EQL Group Member and you insofar as they relate to:

  • any obligation on, or undertaking by you

Secure access and account management

You may create, or an EQL Group Member may issue you with, a Username and Password (User ID) for accessing each Portal.

Each user of a Portal must have his or her own User ID and must keep this User ID confidential. You must securely store any User ID created and not show, tell, or otherwise make it available to, anyone. You agree that the EQL Group may rely on, and may deem any use of your User ID, to be an act done by you.

Persons with a Group Manager Account may authorise the creation of additional Member Accounts with User IDs for additional users. Any such additional users will be taken to be authorised to complete transactions as agent on behalf of the person with the Group Manager Account, and will constitute an Authorised Representative of that person.

You agree that you are responsible for any transactions:

  • completed by yourself, and
  • if you hold a Group Manager Account, completed by any person holding a Member Account associated with that Group Manager Account.

You agree to give the EQL Group Member such information requested from time to time in respect to access to the Portal.

You agree to immediately notify the EQL Group Member on becoming aware of, or suspecting, any unauthorised use, copying or disclosure of the User ID or any unauthorised access to, or use of, the Portal.

If you hold a Group Manager Account, you are responsible for ensuring that, where any person holding a Member Account associated with your Group Manager Account is no longer entitled to make transactions on your behalf, you remove that Member Account from your Group account. If you are unable to do this, you must notify the EQL Group Member managing the Portal immediately.
