The user is obliged to provide complete and accurate information when registering and immediately notify SEW of any subsequent changes to this information. The user registers by providing his/her name and e-mail address, and selecting a password. SEW then sends an e-mail containing an confirmation link to the e-mail address supplied by the user during registration. Access to password-protected pages is activated when the user clicks the confirmation link, thereby verifying that he/she is the owner of the e-mail address submitted during registration. The user takes care to ensure that he/she receives the e-mails sent to the provided e-mail address.
