Each time a user logs in to this web site and uses its services, they agree to be bound by the statement in force at that time.
COLLECTION OF DATA
Users may be asked to provide with personally-identifiable information such as name and e-mail address. This is necessary to provide them the various services and activities offered on this web site.
