Use of Websites Constitutes Acceptance.

Although the registration process of the Websites (if any) may require you to “click-through” or otherwise affirmatively agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement or other terms and conditions governing the use of the Websites, this Agreement is binding on you by your use of any Website or Services, regardless of whether or not you choose to register.

Business or Employment Use. Where you use a Website or Service in the course of your employment or business, you enter into this Agreement both on your own behalf and in your individual capacity as an employee, officer, agent, partner, etc. of such organisation which you represent, and references in this Agreement to you shall mean both you as the individual user of the Website or Service and you in your capacity as a representative of your organisation.
