  2. This Administrator Policy is supplemental to the terms and conditions governing the use of this Extranet. Each NHBC registered builder or developer ('Client') using this Extranet uses it on the basis that they agree to be bound by those terms and conditions, as amended from time to time, and that they agree to ensure that all users that use this Extranet on their behalf are aware of and use it subject to those terms and conditions.
  3. Each Client is entitled to create 'Administrator' accounts for use with this Extranet.

  4. Subject always to NHBC's rights under the terms and conditions governing use of this Extranet to determine who may use this Extranet, each Administrator will be entitled to designate users to use this Extranet on behalf of the Client that the Administrator represents and each Administrator must ensure that each such person is authorised by the Client to use this Extranet on behalf of the Client and assign user names and passwords to each such user for the duration (but no longer) of that person's authority.

By accessing this Extranet and/or requesting the creation of an 'Administrator' account the person doing so confirms to NHBC that they have the full authority of the Client that they claim to represent, to do so and to use this Extranet facility in accordance with the terms and conditions governing use of this Extranet.
