Users must use the your account online section of our website ("the Site") and the facilities made available on it only for their intended purposes, and must at all times act in good faith when doing so. We agree to provide you (also referred to as the "User" and "your") with permission to access, use and interact on the Site subject to these Terms and Conditions which are applicable in conjunction with our General Conditions of Supply and Privacy Notice.
