Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Release
Although INEOS has taken security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and unauthorized alteration of Materials, no system of security is 100-percent fail-safe, and INEOS makes no representations or warranties that the Site cannot be tampered with by third parties or against the loss, release, misuse or unauthorized alteration of Materials.

Upon any failure or error in the operation of the password(s), you must cease using the password(s), immediately exit the Site and notify INEOS of the failure or error in the operation of the password(s).
