We want you to feel confident using our Website. However, no system can be completely secure. Although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches or other communications will always remain secure.

You are solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your username and password, if you choose to become a subscriber. You should use caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer or over an unsecure wireless network so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
