- Jeopardizes the security of your ePals and/or in2book account or anyone else’s (such as allowing someone else to log on as you on the Services);
- Attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account, or other security information from any other user;
- Violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes;

III. For any Services (or any portions of the Services) that use passwords, you agree to keep your password(s) private and you agree not disclose any passwords to any individual not authorized to receive such password(s). Do not post passwords in any public way (including on any widely-accessible Internet page or in hard copy on a bulletin board, etc).
IV. You will not register (or attempt to register) for the Services as any category of User that you do not legitimately qualify for. For example, if you’re a student, you will not register as a teacher, parent, administrator, Publisher, or any other category that may be offered now or in the future.
