We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users. If you are an administrator, coach, employee, agent or representative of an Organization (“Representative”), you agree that you will only open a Demosphere account on behalf of such Organization, and (a) “you” includes you and that Organization, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the Organization with the authority to bind the Organization to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity’s behalf.

You may never use another User’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information, and you must keep this information up to date. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure.
