Access to the Client Portal	2.1 WATC grants to the Client (which may act by its Authorised Users) a revocable non exclusive, non transferrable and limited right to access and use the Client Portal in accordance with these terms and conditions to view, upload, and download information, to transact via the Client Portal and to utilise any other services which may be provided by WATC to the Client via the Client Portal (“authorised purpose”). 2.2 The Client Administrator is to determine and allocate to each Authorised User of the Client a specified level of access permission for access to and the use of the Client Portal. 2.3 The Authorised Users who have been allocated Access Permissions may initiate transactions but may not authorise transactions unless they are also nominated as Client Authorisers by the Client and their details and specimen signatures have been provided to and accepted by WATC. 2.4 The Client Administrator is to administer the Authorised Users of the Client Portal and may determine any revocation and reallocation of Access Permissions, add new Authorised Users, and may provide an Authorised User with an elevated Access Permission (e.g. from read only to write access), downgrade an Access Permission or deactivate an Authorised User. WATC must manage the access of the Client Authorisers to the Client Portal and must verify the authorisations of such Client Authorisers to ensure due and proper authorisation of transactions.
Authority to use the Portal and Passwords	3.1 Each Authorised User is to create and use a password as their respective unique code to access the Client Portal and has the sole responsibility for the safe keeping of such passwords. 3.2 The Client must ensure that its Authorised Users do not disclose their passwords to any other person or allow any other person to use the Authorised User’s password to access the Client Portal or to access the Client Portal in any other way. 3.3 Authorised Users may change their respective passwords but may not be able to edit their profile information. The Client Administrator and WATC may edit the profile information of any Authorised User from time to time and both the Client Administrator and the WATC Administrator may reset the password for an Authorised User from time to time.
Use of the Client Portal	4.1 The Client acknowledges and agrees that an Authorised User who has been allocated Access Permission by the Client Administrator is authorised to access the Client Portal, is acting for and on behalf of the Client and is bound by these terms and conditions. (a) The Client is directly responsible for the consequences of all access to and use of the Client Portal by its Authorised Users, including all acts and omissions relating to that access or use and must ensure that an Authorised User does not access or use the Client Portal after they cease to be an officer or employee of the Client. (b) Without limiting the generality of clause 4.1(a), WATC will identify each Authorised User accessing the Client Portal by that Authorised User's password and the Client is responsible for all use of the Client Portal that occurs from the access to and use of the Client Portal facilitated by the use of that password. 4.2 The Client must ensure that its Authorised Users do not: (a) disclose any information relating to the Client Portal, whether relating to the security of access to the Client Portal or otherwise, to any third party; (b) use the Client Portal for any other purpose other than for the authorised purpose and in accordance with these terms and conditions; (c) access or use the Client Portal in breach of any applicable law; (d) use the Client Portal in any way that is fraudulent or harmful, or in connection with any fraudulent or harmful purpose or activity; (e) use the Client Portal to copy, store, host, transmit, send, use, publish or distribute any material which they may reasonably suspect of consisting of (or is linked to) any Malicious Computer Software; (f) conduct any systematic or automated data collection activities (including, without limitation, scraping, data mining, data extraction and data harvesting) on or in relation to the Client Portal without WATC’s express written consent; (g) access or otherwise interact with the Client Portal using any robot, spider or other automated means; (h) use data collected from the Client Portal for any direct marketing activity or for any activity other than the authorised purpose; (i) provide or otherwise make available any material on the Client Portal in any form to any third party without the written consent of WATC; and (j) impersonate any person or entity for the purpose of misleading others or for any other purpose when accessing or using the Client Portal. 4.3 The Client must not, and must ensure that its Authorised Users do not, use data collected from the Client Portal to contact individuals, companies or other persons or entities. 4.4 The Client must not provide WATC with an email address or other details of an Authorised User unless the Client has that person’s consent to provide the address to WATC for use in connection with the Client Portal. 4.5 The Client agrees to notify WATC immediately of changes to the Client Authorisers by notice in writing. When notifying WATC of any new Client Authorisers, the Client must also provide WATC with such details as may be requested by WATC. 4.6 The Client agrees to notify WATC immediately on becoming aware, or having reasonable grounds to suspect, that a password has been lost or stolen or has otherwise been disclosed to or become known or used by a person other than the Authorised User to whom it belongs and to take immediate steps to deactivate that Authorised User. 4.7 The Client and the Authorised Users must ensure that all the information you supply to WATC via the Client Portal, or in relation to the Client Portal, is true, accurate, current, complete and not misleading or deceptive. 4.8 If two or more signatures are required to authorise a transaction via the Client Portal, the relevant signatories must be different Client Authorisers. 4.9 The Client must ensure that its Authorised Users submit transaction notifications or requests, drawdown notices, applications, deposit forms, invoices or payment advices (“Client Actions”) to WATC before the final time specified in agreements between the Client and WATC or in guidelines, procedures or brochures made available to the Client by WATC (“WATC Documents”). Where WATC receives any such Client Actions after the final time specified in WATC documentation, the Authorised User may be permitted access to the Client Portal but the decision to reject or accept and implement such Client Actions will be solely at the discretion of WATC.
Security Measures	WATC must maintain reasonable security measures in regard to the Client Portal. However the Client must take its own precautions to ensure that the process which the Client uses for accessing the Client Portal does not expose it to the risk of Malicious Computer Software or other forms of interference which may damage its own computer system, programs or software. To the fullest extent permitted by law, WATC excludes all responsibility for any interference or damage to the Client’s computer system, programs or software which arises in connection with, or as a consequence of, its access to or use of the Client Portal.

WATC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of fitness for particular purpose, and non-infringement and WATC accepts no responsibility to any person for any false, inaccurate or misleading or deceptive information or for any interpretation, opinion or conclusion that you may form as a result of accessing or using the Client Portal. 6.8 WATC does not undertake or warrant that the Client Portal will be updated periodically and the information and programs available from or via the Client Portal will change. 6.9 The Client acknowledges and agrees that it and each of its Authorised Users have exercised their independent judgment in accessing and using the Client Portal and have not relied on any representation made by WATC which has not been stated expressly in these terms and conditions or upon any descriptions or illustrations or specifications contained in any WATC Documents or publicity material.
