Accessing the Website and Account Security

The Plan reserves the right to withdraw or amend this Website, and any service or material provided on the Website, in its sole discretion without notice.

From time to time, the Plan may restrict access to some parts of the Website, or the entire Website, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for both:

·         Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Website.
