Account Registration

When you complete the registration process, you create an account and become a member. Your account allows you to participate in certain Services, subject to the Terms and the Privacy Policy. Videostratus reserves the right to refuse to allow a user to open an account for any reason, or to limit the number of accounts a user can establish on the Site, all at Videostratus's sole discretion.

To create an account, you must select a username and password. Your username is your Videostratus identity. You may not select a username that is used by someone else, and your username cannot be indecent, or otherwise offensive, or be used in any way that violates the Terms and common practices. You may not provide false information during the registration process. You must provide truthful and accurate information while creating your account.

You should not reveal your password to other users. Videostratus will not ask you to reveal your password. If you forget your password, you can request to have a new password sent to your registered e-mail address. Your account is at risk if you let someone use it inappropriately and your account is subject to termination if you or anyone using your account violates the Terms. If your account is terminated, you may not join Videostratus again without express permission.

You agree to immediately notify Videostratus of any unauthorized use of your Videostratus account or password. You are fully and solely responsible for the security of your computer system and all activity on your account, even if such activities were not committed by you. Videostratus will not be liable for any losses or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account or password, and you agree to indemnify and hold Videostratus harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account, including any mail sent and any charges and taxes incurred, unless you have notified us via e-mail to support@videostratus.com that your account has been compromised, and have requested us to block access to it. This includes illegal or improper use by someone to whom you have given permission to use your account. We do not police for, and cannot guarantee that we will learn of or prevent, any inappropriate use of the Site.
