Notwithstanding the foregoing, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which User has actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Website. User’s continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms means that User accepts and agrees to the changes. User is expected to check this page frequently to remain apprised of any changes. 

The Company may update the content on this Website, but its content is not necessarily complete or up to date. Any of the material on the Website may be out of date at any given time, and the Company is under no obligation to update such material.

Accessing the Website; Account Security
