We will notify you of any changes to these Terms of Use by posting the revised Terms of Use and the “Last Updated” date on the Services. If a revision is material, we may also provide you with notification via email or via the web site. By accessing or using the Services after we make any such revisions to these Terms of Use, you are deemed to have accepted the revisions. Please refer back to these Terms of Use on a regular basis so you can stay informed of any revisions.
Effective Period. These Terms of Use, including any posted revisions and any incorporated documents, shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services.
“Use” and “User.” Note that “use” of the Services includes any actual or attempted access to or use of the Services, including, without limitation, any access to, transmission of, exchange of information with, use of, or communication associated with the Services. As used in these Terms of Use, a “user” is anyone who uses the Services.
New Developments. If any new aspects, features, components, or developments of the Services become available, they will be considered a part of the Services and your use of them will be governed by these Terms of Use unless we notify you that different terms and conditions apply.

2. USER ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to submit any User Content or personal information on or through the Services, register for an account, or purchase any goods or services. If you are between the ages of thirteen (13) and 18, you may view the Services with the consent of your parent or legal guardian, provided that you do not engage in any of the activities prohibited in the prior sentence. Any use of the Services by anyone under thirteen (13) years old is unauthorized and is a violation of these Terms of Use.

If you do not wish to log in using these third-party access credentials, you will be prompted to create an Account, which includes a sign-in name (“Sign-In Name”), a password (“Password”), and perhaps certain additional information that will assist us in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (“Unique Identifiers”) (your Sign-In Name, Password, and Unique Identifiers together are referred to as your “Account Information”). When creating your Account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information. Each Sign-In Name and corresponding Password may be used by only one authorized user. You are not permitted to transfer your account to anyone without first getting our written permission.
You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of your Account Information, as well as for any use of, misuse of, or communications entered through the Services using any of your Account Information. You must promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a Password or Sign-In Name or change any Unique Identifier. We reserve the right to delete or change your Password, Sign-In Name, or Unique Identifier at any time and for any reason and shall have no liability to you for any loss or damage caused by such action. The Frontier Report is under no obligation to accept any individual or entity as an Account holder, and The Frontier Report may accept or reject any registrations at our sole and complete discretion.
