On registration, you must provide BTO with accurate, complete registration information and it is your responsibility to update and maintain changes to that information on the applicable the BTO website registration pages. BTO is entitled to rely on any information you provide to us.

Each registration is for a single user only. On registration, you will choose a ID. BTO does not permit any other person sharing your ID or access through a single ID being made available to multiple users on a network. BTO may cancel or suspend your access to the BTO website if you do this without further liability to you.

You are responsible for all use of the BTO website made by you or anyone else using your ID and for preventing unauthorised use of your ID. If you believe there has been any breach of security such as the disclosure, theft or unauthorised use of your ID or any payment information, you must notify BTO immediately by e-mailing btocs@sph.com.sg

If you provide BTO with an email address that will result in any messages BTO may send you being sent to you via a network or device operated or owned by a third party (e.g. your employer or college) then you warrant that you are entitled to receive those messages. You also agree that BTO may refrain from sending messages to you without notifying you, even if you have subscribed to receive them, if we receive a request from a third party to stop sending messages to you.

If you subscribe to the BTO website Subscription Services (see Section 8 below) then you may choose to use the "Remember me" log in feature that enables you to be logged in automatically to the BTO website whenever you visit without having to manually log in each time. However, we recommend that you do not enable this feature on any computer that is or may be used by anyone other than you in order to prevent unauthorized access by third parties to both your subscription details and features of the BTO website personal to you.
