1. Permitted Uses and Restrictions on Use
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Terms of Service, Vebio or its subcontractors will provide the Service that allows you to manage your personal and financial data on the World Wide Web. You may not use the Service until you have read and accepted all of the Terms of Service by checking the "I have read and agree to Vebio's Terms of Service" checkbox upon submission of your registration information to Vebio. In order to use the Service, you must at your own expense obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content.
