(ii) maintain the confidentiality of your Account and log-in credentials, if applicable; and (
iii) restrict access to all others. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your Account.

At our discretion, We may, but are not obligated to, monitor and terminate User activity on our Sites, and/or edit or remove User Content, which violates or otherwise fails to comply with these General User Terms
How the Program Works:
Our Sites and Services are powered by online reviews submitted by verified users of software products, in either written or video format (“User Reviews”) We encourage those who desire to share their experience regarding a software product, service or vendor to submit User Reviews on our Site. You acknowledge and agree that We as the website operator are merely providing a platform for these User Reviews; and that all such User Reviews represent the opinions of the reviewers of those products, services or vendors and not our own opinions. From time to time, We may provide nominal incentives (such as gift cards) to encourage submission of honest reviews, regardless of whether the content of the review is positive or negative. We provide clear notice on our Sites when a reviewer has been offered a nominal incentive for submitting an honest review. We also provide a service to assist vendors in soliciting reviews from their customers for posting on our Site. We provide clear notice on our Sites when a review has been sourced in this manner. Users may opt to post their review anonymously, but must submit sufficient information for our Quality Assurance team to verify their identity. While a reviewer may choose not to share personal information with the public, their identity is always verified by our Quality Assurance team before We allow their review to be published.
Our Community Guidelines:
When participating in our Reviews Program, You (whether a software buyer, vendor or reviewer), acknowledge and agree to adhere to our Community Guidelines. Our Community Guidelines or CGs set forth the rules of play for users, reviewers and vendors. The CGs cover, without limitation, the QA process, the guidelines each review must meet as well as the processes for flagging reviews for investigation and applying penalties. The CGs also outline the protections We put in place to maintain high-quality, trusted reviews, as well as the respective rights of reviewers and vendors. As a neutral content platform, We will only remove reviews that we in our discretion determine do not comply with our Community Guidelines.
