​
1.3. User Account
In order to access and use certain sections and features of the Alberto Carniel Services, you must first register and create an account with Alberto Carniel (“User Account”). All "Paid Services" (described in Section 5) require a User Account and if you don't register yourself, Alberto Carniel will create an account for you. In this case, you will receive access information only if the Paid Service purchased requires it (otherwise you agree that Alberto Carniel will manage your User Account on your behalf).
​
In these Terms of Use, the cancellation or suspension of your User Account entails the cancellation or suspension of your active Paid Services.
​
If anyone other than yourself accesses your User Account’s settings, they may perform any actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the Alberto Carniel Services), make changes to your User Account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.
​
Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your User Account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust - as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account (including for any representations, warranties and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.
​
You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your User Account and using the Alberto Carniel Services, to which you are the sole and exclusive rights holder. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s) contact and billing details, including your valid email address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User Account and/or User Content (as defined below) submitted to us.
​
In case of a dispute on User Account ownership, we reserve the right to determine ownership to a User Account based on our reasonable judgment, whether or not an independent investigation has been conducted by us. However, if we cannot make such determination (as we may deem in our sole discretion), we reserve the right to avoid doing so and/or suspend a User Account until the parties disputing such ownership, reach a resolution, without liability to you or to any other party. We may request documentation (e.g. government-issued ID, a business license) that may assist us in determining ownership. Among others, we may consider the principles set forth below.
​
Alberto Carniel will consider the owner of a User Account, User Content created and/or uploaded to the relevant Alberto Carniel Service, as the person or entity who has access to the email address then listed in Alberto Carniel’s records for such User Account under which such User Content was created.
​
If any Paid Services (as defined in Section 5 below) were purchased via a User Account, Alberto Carniel will consider the owner of such User Account and/or User Content created thereunder, may be considered to be the person or entity whose billing details were used to purchase such Paid Services (“Billing Information”).
​
Notwithstanding the forgoing, Alberto Carniel shall have the right to determine the ownership of User Content and/or a User Account as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in event Alberto Carniel deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by Alberto Carniel.

For example, if the original subscription period for a Service is one month, each of its renewal periods (where applicable) will be for one month.

​
​
