In order to access and use certain areas or features of the Services, you may be required to register for an online account.

Such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws, including without limitation copyright and trademark laws and applicable communications regulations and statutes. Unless explicitly stated herein or otherwise by Onfido, nothing in these Terms shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. This license is revocable at any time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, the Services and Content may contain software components that are subject to separate license terms, in which case those license terms will apply to the access and use of such software components.
