If two or more persons use or access an Account on behalf of a Client, the Client must designate such persons as individual Users. Each User shall be subject to the Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, each User must have their own unique ID created in the Account of the Client.
If a Client has designated Users and granted them Authorisation, such Users will be deemed to be authorised to act on behalf of Client when using the Account. BuiltGrid is not responsible for verifying the right of representation or validity of Authorisation of any User at any time. However, BuiltGrid may, at any time, request additional information or proof of a User’s credentials.

BuiltGrid provides such information sharing as directed by or agreed with Enterprise Customer and BuiltGrid.
An Enterprise Customer is required to have an Account and Account Type that provides for the management of Clients. Enterprise Customers can also have Users in their own right. All Clients of an Enterprise Customer are required to have an account that has been set up by them or on behalf of that Enterprise Customer in accordance with clause 3.
BuiltGrid shall provide each Client with a username and password (“Login Credentials”) to be used to log into the Account. These Login Credentials are for single use only and must not be used by multiple persons. If Client has designated several Users, each User will be provided with separate Login Credentials. The Client and each User are responsible for keeping confidential all Login Credentials associated with an Account. Client must promptly notify BuiltGrid of any disclosure, loss or unauthorised use of any Login Credentials. For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that each User is not permitted to share their Login Credentials with another person (including, another Client) to log on to the BuiltGrid Services or APIs either at the same time, or at a different time, on either the same device, or alternate device.

Clients and Users agree that any information provided by them on or in relation to an Account is true, complete and accurate. Clients and Users agree to inform BuiltGrid promptly on becoming aware that any information provided to BuiltGrid is or has become untrue, incomplete and inaccurate. If a Client or its User(s) provide information that is or becomes untrue, incomplete or inaccurate, or BuiltGrid has grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, incomplete or inaccurate, without limiting any other rights or remedy available to us, BuiltGrid may limit, suspend or terminate access to the Account of the Client.
BuiltGrid may also limit, suspend or terminate access to an Account if a Client or User’s content or Client Data is inappropriate or of an offensive nature, or where a Client fails to make payment of any required Fees (if any).

All Fees are non-refundable, meaning, for the avoidance of doubt, there are no refunds or credits.
Other than Seller’s gaining access to Job Opportunities by paying Fees for a Subscription and Enterprise Account Fees, Clients can use other BuiltGrid Services without Fees. The Client is not required to provide any credit card information for Free Access. As defined, Education Access Users do not incur Fees.
