When you and your Users create an account or subaccount, you will be asked to create a username and password, which you will be solely responsible for safeguarding. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols) with your Dave's Deals account or any other account that you may connect to your Dave's Deals account. You agree not to disclose your username or password to any third party, and you agree to immediately notify Dave's Deals of any unauthorized use of your account.
