These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of a set of features, services, and functionality for NSN Center for registered customers to purchase products and use services for business purposes. These Terms constitute an agreement between NSN Center and/or its affiliates ("NSN Center," "we," "us," or "our") and the entity you represent ("you").

Capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in these Terms or the Conditions of Use.


1. REGISTRATION

An organization has an Account with NSN Center once an individual associated with the organization registers the business and creates the first user account associated with that organization. That individual can invite others to be part of the organization's Business Account. Each additional user that purchases or otherwise acts on behalf of the business and joins the organization's Business Account must create a new user account that is part of and associated with the organization's Business Account. Business Accounts and business user accounts are intended for businesses and business-related organizations and may be used solely for business purposes. To create a business user account, users must use a valid email address. Unless explicitly permitted, a user may only create one account per email address. Once you complete the Business Account registration and verification process, your organization will be registered with NSN Center.


2. ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your organization's Business Account and any associated business user accounts, regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by you, your employees or a third party (including your contractors or agents). Except to the extent caused by our breach of these Terms, we and our affiliates are not responsible for unauthorized access to your Business Account or user accounts. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your password. You may not disclose your password to any third party (other than third parties authorized by you to use your Business Account or associated business user accounts in accordance with these Terms) and are solely responsible for any use or action taken under your password. You will contact us immediately if you believe an unauthorized third party may be using your Business Account or associated user accounts or if your Business Account or any user account information is lost or stolen.
