5. USER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, SECURITY AND ELECTRONIC ACCOUNT SERVICES.
(a) ONLINE ACCOUNT ACCESS. For certain types of features available through the Web Site, including the Online Account Access features (the “Online Service”), we require the use of encryption technologies provided for your protection and/or your use of a user identification name (“UserID”) and password after setting up a user account (“User Account”). The Online Service is available by clicking on the Online Account Access login at www.equestevent.com. For self-enrollment, you must provide Account-specific information to authenticate yourself (e.g., Account owner name and address, Account number and meter number). In these Terms, “you” and “your” refer to each person, or, if applicable, the entity who is an owner, signer, or has unrestricted access to a User Account and each person that uses the Online Service with your permission (“Authorized User”). You may never use another person’s User Account and/or UserID without permission. When your Online Service is linked to one or more Accounts, COMPANY may act on the oral, written, or electronic instructions of any authorized signer regarding your service for those Accounts. It is your responsibility to notify COMPANY if an Authorized User should no longer be given access to an Account through the Online Service.
(b) USER ACCOUNT AND PASSWORD. We use reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of your UserID, password and User Account information by utilizing a Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) connection. Accordingly, your UserID, password and User Account information are encrypted using an SSL connection and are not expected to be read in an intelligible form as they travel to the Web Site. You, however, are ultimately responsible for protecting your UserID, password and User Account information from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies. You are required to take reasonable precautions to safeguard your UserID and password. You agree to never leave your computer unattended while using the Online Service and to always exit the Online Service by clicking on “Log Out.” You also agree to immediately notify COMPANY of any unauthorized use of your UserID, password and/or User Account, or any other breach of security by email at info@equestevent.com, or through the online message center (if applicable). You are solely responsible for any activity that occurs with respect to your User Account and UserID. 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, error, interception or interruption.
(c) RELIANCE BY COMPANY. You authorize COMPANY to rely on your UserID and password to identify you when you use the Online Service, and as signature authorization for any payment made using the Online Service. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for all payments you make using the Online Service and for paying any and all late charges or penalties. You also acknowledge and agree that if you permit another person or persons to use the Online Service or give them your UserID and/or password, you are responsible for any payment that person makes to your Account, even if the person exceeds your authorization. You agree that COMPANY may comply with the Payment Instructions entered by any person using your UserID and Password, subject to the terms set forth more fully below in the Unauthorized Payments section of these Terms.
(d) SECURITY. COMPANY is committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of information about you and your Account and User Account. COMPANY uses, and may in the future use, several different security methods to protect your Account and User Account information, including:
• You can only access the Online Service with certain browsers that have high security standards.
• If the Online Service does not recognize your computer, you will be prompted to answer one of your challenge questions to verify your identity.
• The Online Service will automatically log off if prolonged periods of inactivity occur.
• Your session will terminate if you navigate away from the Online Service to another website.
(e) ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION.
(i) Email and Text Messaging. When you enroll in the Online Service, you must designate a primary email address that will be used for receiving electronic communication and a primary telephone number for receiving text messages (“electronic communication”). To the extent that COMPANY maintains an online message center now or in the future, such exchange of communications shall be considered an electronic communication and may be utilized by COMPANY for providing you notices pursuant to these Terms, as required by Applicable Law (as permitted) or generally regarding your Account(s) with COMPANY. COMPANY will NEVER send you email or text message requesting confidential information such as Account numbers, usernames, or passwords and you should NEVER respond to any email requesting such information. If you receive such an email purportedly from COMPANY, do not respond to the email and notify COMPANY info@equestevent.com.
(ii) Usage of Electronic Communication. By your enrollment in the Online Service, you agree to receive these Terms and any disclosures or notices required by Applicable Law and all other communications electronically to the email address and/or telephone number you designate in your account profile. You also agree that COMPANY may respond to any communication you send to COMPANY with an electronic communication, regardless of whether your original communication with COMPANY was an electronic communication. Any electronic communication COMPANY sends to you will be considered received within one calendar day of the date such communication is sent by computer servers utilized by COMPANY to the email address or telephone you designate in your account profile or posted to COMPANY’s online message center (if applicable). To the extent permissible under Applicable Law, any electronic communication you send to COMPANY will not be effective until COMPANY has had a reasonable opportunity to act on the electronic communication.
(f) DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION. COMPANY will not disclose any information to third parties about you, including email addresses, or your Account, except in the situations described below or as otherwise set forth in COMPANY’s Privacy Policy located at www.equestevent.com/privacy. We will disclose such information:
• where disclosure is necessary for completing payments, or to resolve a problem related to a payment;
• to verify the condition and existence of your Account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
• to persons authorized by law in the course of their official duties;
• to a consumer reporting agency as defined by Applicable Law;
• to comply with a government agency or court order, such as a lawful subpoena;
• to COMPANY employees, auditors, service providers, attorneys or collection agents in the course of their duties; or
• if you give COMPANY written permission (including by email).

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or COMPANY has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, COMPANY has the right to suspend or terminate your User Account and refuse any and all current or future use of your User Account.
(h) TERMINATION OF ACCOUNT. COMPANY reserves the right to terminate your use of the Online Service for any reason including inactivity and at any time without notice to you. You have the right to terminate your use of the Online Service by emailing the COMPANY at info@equestevent.com. Any termination of your use of the Online Service, whether initiated by you or by COMPANY, will not affect any of your or COMPANY’s rights and obligations under these Terms that have arisen before the effective date of such termination.
(i) RELATED AGREEMENTS. Your Account linked to the Online Service will also be governed by the agreements, disclosures, COMPANY’s service tariff in your area, and other documents provided to you in connection with the opening of your Account, as they may be amended periodically. If any inconsistency exists between such other documentation and these Terms, then these Terms shall control to the extent of inconsistency.
