We discourage You from giving anyone access to Your username and password for Your account with Us and Your email account. However, if You do give someone Your username and online password, or if You fail to adequately safeguard such information, You are responsible for any and all transactions that the person performs while using Your account with Us and/or Your email account, even those transactions that are fraudulent or that You did not intend or want performed.
