These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of R3SEC's website, products, and services (collectively, the "Services"). Please read these Terms carefully, as they constitute a legal agreement between you and R3SEC ("we," "us," or "our").
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you may not access the Services.
We may modify these Terms at any time, and such modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting on our website. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of modified Terms shall be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms.
Throughout these Terms, we use certain defined terms:
3.1 Account Creation

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for any activities or actions taken under your account. You must immediately notify R3SEC of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

For security purposes, we strongly recommend enabling multi-factor authentication on your account. For certain account types or Service levels, multi-factor authentication may be mandatory.
