Updating your contact information
You are responsible for updating your primary email address and mobile phone number so that Company can communicate with you electronically. You can update your primary email address and mobile phone number at any time by logging into your Account and modifying your profile.

You understand and agree that if Company sends you a Communication, but you do not receive it because your primary email address or mobile phone number on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive Communications, Company will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you.
