The Service provides, without limitation: user account registration and management, OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow, token issuance and lifecycle management, user profile and credential storage, and API access for authorized third-party applications.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password and any two-factor authentication secrets. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.
You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.

The Service enables you to authorize third-party applications to access certain information associated with your account. By granting authorization, you acknowledge that such third-party applications are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, over which we have no control.
We are not responsible for the practices, content, or data handling of any third-party application. You should review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party application before granting it access to your account data.
