To ensure that only you are able to access and operate any AGR Web Pages, AGR Accounts and any AGR Activities, you agree to follow the procedures.

You must take all reasonable steps to ensure that your Password stays secret. You must not disclose your Password to anyone, including the staff of AGR.

If you believe someone else knows your Password, your must change it though the AGR Web Pages as soon as possible.

You must not let anyone else access any AGR Web Pages, AGR Account or AGR Activities on your behalf.

If your security codes are misused as a result of your negligence in maintaining the secrecy of your User Name and Password, you will be responsible for the consequences until you notify AGR of that misuse.

If you believe that there are unauthorised entries in your AGR Personal Profile, AGR Account or any AGR Activities then you must notify AGR immediately.

Carrying Out Your Instructions

AGR will act on instructions using your Security Codes without getting further information from you.

Once you have given an instruction you cannot cancel it. If requested, AGR may try to reverse it as far as possible.

AGR may, if we consider it justified, refuse to carry out an instruction or insist on written confirmation from you.

AGR may not, if we think it justified, include your contribution to AGR Web Pages or any AGR Activities.

You can usually access the AGR Web Pages at any time. Routine maintenance, demands on the systems, and other circumstances may mean that it is not always available.

AGR Registration Process

To become a Volunteer and to participate in any AGR Activities, you need to register with AGR and create a Personal Profile following the registration process set out below (the "AGR Registration Process").

Prospective Volunteers may be required to complete an AGR registration form each time they wish to join any AGR Activities. Registration forms include:-

• the form available on the Websites, but may also include permission-based registration forms hosted on the websites of affiliates and/or third parties;
• registration forms hosted by AGR and accessed via third party websites; or
• registration forms accessed via links in an email sent to you by AGR or a third party where you have granted permission to receive such emails from these sources.

The registration form may include any number of questions or may be limited solely to the expression of assent to participate in any AGR Activities.

Undertaking Regarding Information Provided

In consideration of AGR granting you access to the Web Pages and/or the ability to participate in any AGR Activities, you agree to:-

• provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the AGR Registration Process;
• maintain and promptly update your personal membership details including the Personal Profile (see below) so as to keep it true, accurate, current and complete; and
• provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by AGR whilst participating in any AGR Activities.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or AGR has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, AGR has the right to suspend or terminate your current access to, use of, and/or participation in any AGR Activities. This is subject to your right to refuse to answer any questions relating to any AGR Activities or information request.

Your Personal Profile and AGR Account(s)

Upon completing the AGR Registration Process, Volunteers will be provided with a profile ("Personal Profile") and an account ("AGR Account") for those AGR Activities for which Credit is awarded (see below).

Only one Personal Profile is permitted per Volunteer and only one AGR Account is permitted per Volunteer for which Credit is awarded. Any Volunteer found to have multiple Personal Profiles and/or AGR Accounts may have secondary Personal Profiles and/or AGR Accounts deleted. Credit accrued in secondary AGR Accounts may not be transferred. AGR may demand proof of identity in the event of a dispute.

Each Volunteer must use a unique email address. (For example, this means that family members may not each have an account using a shared email address but must each have a separate account with a separate email address.)

Each Personal Profile and AGR Account must only be accessed by an individual Volunteer, and may not be accessed by any other individual without the express permission and authorisation of AGR. You agree to notify AGR immediately if you become aware of, or suspect any unauthorised use of your login information, Personal Profile and/or AGR Account, or any other breach of security.

In the event of access to your AGR Account by another individual, AGR reserves the right to freeze the account until a resolution has been reached. AGR reserves the right to reclaim any incentive earned by access of the unauthorised user, for which the Volunteer will have no recourse against AGR.

Volunteers may accrue credits for their AGR Account ("Credit") in the prescribed manner detailed on the AGR Web Pages, including for completing the AGR Registration Process and for participating in AGR Panels and related AGR Activities for which Credit is awarded. The amount of Credit accrued for participation in any AGR Activity will be notified to Volunteers via authorised communications.

Unless otherwise specifically notified, Credit can only be earned through following all and any instructions regarding earning Credit. A Volunteer's failure to correctly follow any required instructions or procedures may result in no Credit being earned, for which the Volunteer will have no recourse against AGR.

AGR agrees to keep accurate information concerning the AGR Account and AGR Credit gained during market research or other AGR Activities. Credit is not guaranteed for any single activity, although AGR will endeavour to inform you of any alteration to entitlements. No interest will be earned on Credit. No payment will be made to you until you have reached the fulfilment level of £50 and payments will be made in denominations of £50. You are not obliged to participate in any surveys or market research.

Volunteers must have a valid bank account and provide the bank account number, the sort code, the name of the bank and the address to which the account is registered in order to receive payments. AGR reserves the right to issue remuneration in lieu of accrued Credit by any means.

AGR will endeavour to only store bank account details for the purposes of remuneration.

AGR reserves the right to change the range of AGR Activities and through which AGR Credit may be accrued and to vary the frequency of invitation to such activities and panels. AGR also reserves the right to alter the fulfilment level of Credit required before such Credit can be redeemed.

Credit may not be transferred to other AGR Accounts nor pooled together in any manner (AGR Accounts cannot be merged) and the sale or barter of Credit is strictly prohibited. Credit has no monetary value, and cannot be used for any purpose other than redeeming the designated reward.

AGR may from time to time adjust a Volunteer's AGR Account upwards or downwards in response to errors, which Volunteers acknowledge may arise or suspected fraud, for which we have full authority.

AGR reserves the right to terminate any AGR Account that has been dormant for a period of 6 months or more. By 'dormant' AGR means, where the Volunteer has not participated in the relevant AGR activity within the preceding 6 month period. AGR will attempt to contact the you via your nominated email address, if your AGR Account is at risk of termination through inactivity. In the absence of a satisfactory response, the AGR Account will be terminated, and any accrued Credit will be forfeited.
