The User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the information relating to their account, including their password, and for all operations carried out under their account.
Access to services requiring the creation of a personal account is only possible for users who have obtained the lawful activation of an account by SPBI.

To create a personal account, the user undertakes to provide all information marked with an asterisk in the forms on the Website. Failure to do so will result in the account creation request being rejected. An account activation link will be sent to the user by email so that they can complete their registration.
Users who hold a personal account undertake to notify SPBI of any changes to their situation by updating their account information.
The user may delete their account at any time. In such a case, all information in their account will be deleted and certain services will no longer be accessible.
For Website services subject to general terms and conditions of sale (GTC), the request to delete the user's account can only be successful if the user is up to date with their payments to SPBI.
In the event of inactivity on the account for an uninterrupted period of two (2) years or in the event of non-compliance by the user with these T&Cs and/or, where applicable, the GTC applicable to the services, SPBI reserves the right to block all or part of the user's personal account or to delete it.
