You must notify Bioworks immediately of any unauthorized use of your credentials or any other breach of security. Even if you notify us, you will be responsible for any activities that occur using your access credentials, including any charges resulting from the use of your account. Bioworks will not be liable for any losses or damages caused by any unauthorized use of your account, financial or otherwise.
By providing Bioworks your email address you consent to receiving Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail.

If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt-out or change your preferences on the personal settings page associated with your account or by following the instructions included in the email you receive. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers.
When you sign up for or use our products and services, you may give us permission to access your information in other services. For example, you may link your Facebook account, which allows us to obtain information from those accounts (like your full name and email). The information we get from those services often depends on your settings or their privacy policies, so be sure to check what those are.
If you violate these Terms, we may terminate your account without prior notice. We may also terminate your account without prior notice, if we in our sole discretion decide that it would be in Bioworks's best interests to do so.
