You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
Your access to one or more Services may be contingent upon satisfaction of our onboarding processes, which may include verification of your identity and additional information we may request from time-to-time.

In providing this information to us you represent that it is accurate and agree to update your information promptly, but in no event later than 14 days following any change in your information. Failure to provide information or update it promptly may result in Services or funds being unavailable to you.
Any and all communications from ChainGuardians may be provided to you via electronic mail at the address you provided when accessing the Services. ChainGuardians shall not be responsible for any harm you may suffer as a result of your failure to receive any notice provided to you in connection with your use of Services so long as such notice is provided to such email address.

11. Confidential Information
Definition. Each party to these Terms (a “Receiving Party”) may have access to, or become acquainted with, certain non-public confidential information of the other party (a “Disclosing Party”) including without limitation all information clearly identified as confidential at the time of disclosure (“Confidential Information”). You and ChainGuardians further agree that, subject to the rights and licenses granted herein, each party's Confidential Information shall include all non-public information regarding the Disclosing party, including without limitation any customer, customer prospect, the terms, conditions and pricing set forth in any agreement and its Order Form(s), marketing, technical, business and/or strategic plans or information provided by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving party in the performance of the Services under the Agreement.
Use and Disclosure. Each party agrees as follows: (a) to use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only for the purposes permitted by the Agreement, or as otherwise permitted by the Agreement; (b) to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by the Receiving Party’s employees or agents in violation of the Agreement, but in no event will either party use less effort to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party than it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like importance; (c) to restrict access to the Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to such of the Receiving Party’s employees, agents and third parties, if any, who have a need to have access and who have been advised of and have agreed in writing or are otherwise bound to treat such information in accordance with the Agreement; and (d) to return or destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party’s written request, after termination of the Agreement. The Receiving Party will not be obligated under this confidentiality section with respect to information that: (a) is or has become readily publicly available through no act or omission of the Receiving Party or its employees or agents; (b) is received from a third party lawfully in possession of such information and the Receiving Party has no knowledge of any disclosure restrictions on such third party to disclose such information; (c) is disclosed to a third party by the Disclosing Party without restriction on disclosure; (d) was rightfully in the possession of the Receiving Party without restriction prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; or (e) was independently developed by employees or consultants of the Receiving Party without reliance on, or reference to, such Confidential Information.
Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed as required by any governmental agency, provided that before disclosing such information the Disclosing Party must provide the Receiving Party with sufficient advance notice of the agency’s request for the information to enable the Receiving Party to exercise any rights it may have to challenge or limit the agency’s authority to receive such Confidential Information, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
12. Miscellaneous
Force Majeure. If by reason in whole or in part of any Force Majeure Event, either you or ChainGuardians is delayed or prevented from complying with these Terms of Use, then such delay or non-compliance shall not be deemed to be a breach and no loss or damage shall be claimed by you or ChainGuardians by reason thereof. “Force Majeure Event” means any event beyond the party’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake, or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of government, communications, power failure, failure in bank performance, or equipment or software malfunction including network splits or “forks” or unexpected changes in a computer network upon which the Services rely.

Waiver. No waiver by ChainGuardians of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of ChainGuardians to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
