For the purposes of clarity, as long as your account is accessed with the correct username and password and unless you notify us of any unauthorized access, the Company is not and will not be responsible for verifying the nature of the individual/entity accessing your account, including if that person accesses, exports, or downloads any Merchant Data from the Platforms, and then shares the same with any third-party.
- Registration and Account Integrity
In order to register for our Services, you are required to sync your Shopify account on the Platform. This automatically provides us with access to your name, user ID, email ID, phone number, geographic location, and any other information that you may have provided to Shopify at the time of registration. We do not have access to and do not at any time request you to provide us with access to your password, unless you have given us explicit written permission to access your account pursuant to a request for assistance or support.
It is Your responsibility to ensure that the information You provide is accurate, secure, and not misleading. You account user ID and password should not (i) contain the names and information of another person; or (ii) use words that are the trademarks or the property of another party (including ours); or (iii) use words that are vulgar, obscene or in any other way inappropriate. At the time of creation and each time you access your account thereafter, we track your IP address for the purposes of determining the geographical location from which you are accessing the Platform.

All Merchant Data that you create, transmit, submit, display or otherwise make available while using the Services, should only be information that You own or have the right to use and share. This includes:

We assume that prior to using our Services, you have informed and taken the consent of your End-Users for the purposes of transferring, processing, using, and/or sharing their information (including their personally identifiable information) with us.
It is necessary and mandatory for us to collect and access the information covered above paragraph, for us to be able to provide you with the Services. Should you choose not to provide any of the information or not to allow us to access any of the same, you will be unable to access or use any part of the Services.
We may use the above information for as long as your account is active and in use, and only as specified/permitted by our Privacy Policy and by applicable law. For example, we will never share personally identifiable information pertaining to You or your End-Users, without the relevant party’s prior explicit permission.
While we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the data stored on our servers is persistent and always available, we will not be responsible in the event of failure of the third-party servers or any other factors outside our reasonable control, that may cause all or any part of the Merchant Data to be permanently deleted, irretrievable, or temporarily inaccessible.
