2. CONNECTORS; REGISTRATION; THIRD-PARTY USERS.
2.1 Connectors
The Platform will only work in connection with the Connectors, among which are software and hardware components. For hardware components, you will have separately received them from us or a third party. You must install and configure each Connector in accordance with its documentation in order for it to function with the Platform. Your use of any hardware components is governed by our Hardware Terms and Conditions of Sale.
2.2 Registration
During the Company registration process, we will ask you to create a Company account, which includes a unique sign-in name (“Sign-In Name”), password (“Password”), and perhaps certain additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (“Unique Identifiers”). Each of your Authorized Users will need to create a sub-account. When creating an account, you and your Authorized Users must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information. Each Sign-In Name and corresponding Password may be used by only one Authorized User. You are responsible for the confidentiality and use of all assigned Sign-In Names, Passwords, and Unique Identifiers. Arch will not be liable or responsible in any way for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.2. You will promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a Password or Sign-In Name, or change any Unique Identifier. We reserve the right to delete or change any Password, Sign-In Name, or Unique Identifier at any time and for any reason.
2.3 Third-Party Users
You may invite third-party end users and developers (“Third-Party Users”) to access and use the Platform. Each Third-Party End User shall be required to accept this Agreement prior to accessing and using the Platform. If a Third-Party End User is using any hardware components, they are required to accept the Hardware Terms and Conditions as well prior to accessing and using the Platform or hardware.
