Please be aware that FirstTwo reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to deactivate, change and/or require you to change your FirstTwo username for any reason or for no reason.
If you are using the Services pursuant to a service agreement your employer or organization has with us, then these Terms are integrated into and are a part of that service agreement.
