4. Registration
Each registration for use of the Site shall occur directly through McLane. Each such registration is for a single individual or entity; however, McLane may authorize during the registration process the set-up of an account that allows a designated user (“Designated User”) the ability to access and manage accounts for affiliated entities. A Designated User may permit an account(s) for an affiliated entity to be managed by a downstream user that is designated by the Designated User (“Downstream User”). The Designated User will provide the Downstream User with login and password information to access such account. All users of this site, including Designated Users and Downstream Users, are bound by these Terms and Conditions and are referred to herein as “you” or “your”. In consideration of your use of the Site and any services contained therein, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself or your company as requested in the Site registration process and to maintain and promptly update the information (including, in particular, your e-mail address) you provide from time to time as necessary to keep the information true, accurate, current and complete. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and that, if you have accepted these Terms and Conditions on behalf of any business (such as a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other organization) or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have legal authority to do so.
Any changes to your registration information should be made by you on the Site. If you are not able to change your registration information on the Site, you can make such changes by contacting McLane directly. If you provide information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, McLane may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site and any services provided through the Site.
After McLane registers you on the Site, you will receive a password for your use of the Site and any services offered therein. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. You will be responsible for all uses of your password and account, including by Downstream Users. You will close the browser window for the Site at the end of each use, and you will immediately notify McLane of any unauthorized use of your account or password. If you designate Downstream Users within your account and provide password information to such Downstream Users, you will be responsible for all uses by Downstream Users. In the event that a Downstream User is terminated, then you must promptly disable the account that was provided to such Downstream User so that access to the Site by the terminated employee is prohibited. McLane cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 4.
5. Legal Requirements
Where McLane has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, warrant, administrative order, civil investigative demand, subpoena, or other valid process, McLane may disclose IP addresses, personal information, and any contents of the Site where it is legally compelled to do so.
