8. PRIVACY
Your privacy is as important to us as it is to you and forms part of the license granted to you. Please review our Privacy Policy and our Security Statement.

9. ADMINISTRATION OF ACCOUNTS
i) General
Membership entitles users to access the Site. Membership fees become due and payable on an annual basis. HRO will endeavour to notify members by email (at the email address specified in the account contact details entered by you);
(a) when a membership fee becomes due.
(b) when access to an account is about to be denied and when data is due to be deleted from their record in accordance with the terms of use of this agreement. However, HRO cannot take responsibility for the failure by any member to receive such notification.

ii) Renewal of membership
You agree that all membership services and benefits will cease in the event that membership fees are not paid when due. Payments on overdue accounts will be applied to renewal of membership as at the date the membership fee became due.

Denial of access to a member's account
HRO reserves the right to deny access to any member's data on the date a membership fee becomes due, in the event that payment is not received by HRO on or before such date; however HRO may, in its discretion, permit overdue payments to be made after a membership fee becomes due before denying access.

Termination of Membership Services/Deletion of Data
You agree that all membership services and benefits for your account will cease on the date that any renewal membership fee becomes due, in the event that payment is not received by HRO on or before such date. In the event that membership is not renewed by the user by remittance of membership fees on the date payment is due, HRO shall have the right to delete all data entered by you, or, at its option, to require you to remove all data entered into your record; however HRO may, in its discretion, permit you an extension of time for the payment of renewal membership fees after a membership fee becomes due before deleting data. However, HRO makes no agreement in this regard and cannot accept liability for any deletion of data in the event that membership renewal fees are not paid when due.

iii) Free Trial Account
HRO may from time to time offer free trial accounts to users at its discretion. In the event that you are the user of a free trial account, the following terms of use shall apply:

Denial of access/Removal of Data
You agree that all membership services and benefits for such trial account will cease on the date the first membership fee becomes due, in the event that payment is not received by HRO on or before such date. In the event that membership is not continued by the user by remittance of membership fees on the date payment is due, HRO shall have the right to (i) deny access to your trial account, and (ii) delete all data entered by you, or, at its option, to require you to remove all data entered into your record.

iv) Member USER-ID and PASSWORD
HRO WILL NOT RE-ISSUE NEW USER-IDS AND PASSWORDS TO AN ACCOUNT. When you sign up with the Site, during the signup process you will be asked for a USER-ID and then assigned a PASSWORD. YOU SHOULD RECORD OR PRINT YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS. This is extremely important, as these details will not be sent to members by any other means. Should you lose your account details you will also lose access to the data and records entered by you. Under no circumstances will a new User-id or password be assigned to an account.

This is a security measure that HRO has taken to protect the privacy of members' data.
