Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted and may be deleted by the Supplier unilaterally.
Each Client may have only one Account. If several persons need to use an Account on behalf of the Client, the Client must designate such persons as Users. Each such User shall be subject to the restrictions outlined in these Terms.
If the Client has designated Users and authorized them, such Users will be deemed to be authorized to act on behalf of the Client when using the Account. Supplier is not responsible for and shall have no liability for verifying the validity of authorization of any User. However, the Supplier may, at its discretion, request additional information or proof of the person’s credentials. If the Supplier is not certain if a User has been granted authorization, the Supplier may, in its sole discretion, prevent such User from accessing the SeedSoft Services.
5.2. Logging into and use of an Account
The Client must create unique individual login credentials – username and password (“Login Credentials”) to be used to log in to its Account. These Login Credentials must not be used by multiple persons. If the Client has designated several Users, each User will be provided with separate Login Credentials.

All Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies or duties applicable under any applicable law unless stated otherwise stated herein. The Client is solely responsible for the payment of such taxes, levies or duties. In case the Supplier pays any such taxes on the Client’s behalf, the Client will indemnify the Supplier in full.
