3. USER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY.

(a) USER ACCOUNT. For certain types of features available through the Online Services, we require the use of encryption technologies provided for your protection and/or your use of a UserID and password after setting up a User Account. We use reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of your UserID, password, User Account information and payment information by utilizing a Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) connection.

You, however, are ultimately responsible for protecting your UserID, password, User Account information and payment information from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies. You agree to (i) immediately notify EBD of any unauthorized use of your UserID, password or User Account, or any other breach of security, and (ii) ensure that you exit from your User Account at the end of each session. While we provide certain encryption technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect your confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not and cannot guarantee or warrant that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions are free from delay, interruption, interception or error.
