4.   SECURITY PROCEDURE

You must always keep your login credentials confidential and take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized or fraudulent use of them.

You must not disclose your credentials to any other person or record them in any way that may result in them becoming known to another person.

Please note that after initial registration we will never contact you (or ask anyone to do so on our behalf), with a request to disclose your credentials in part or in full. If you receive any such request from anyone (even if they are using our name and logo and appear to be genuine) then it is likely to be fraudulent and you must not supply your credentials to them in any circumstances. Additionally, you should report any such requests to NAPSA immediately.

If you suspect that anyone knows your credentials you must contact NAPSA immediately. If you fail to do so, you will be liable for any unauthorized transactions on your account confirmed by use of your credentials.

You will be responsible for all instructions issued via your credentials from the time you pass the login procedure until you exit from the eServices. Kindly note that this includes any input errors or instructions sent by someone other than yourself. In this regard you are urged not to leave your mobile phone or computer unattended while you are still logged onto the eServices.
