You agree and acknowledge that complete privacy, confidentiality and security is not yet possible over the Internet, and that since the Internet is not a fully secure method for the communication of information, your privacy and confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.

You waive all rights that you may have to hold GroupSource responsible in connection with any other use of the this site or any GroupSource online service.

Based on the emerging nature of Internet transactions and related technology, you agree that these exclusions of liability are fair and reasonable, and that GroupSource would not have permitted use of the site or any of our online services by you, if not for your agreement with the liability exclusions and disclaimers set out herein.

You understand that the availability to you of this site and our online services is governed in part by your employer’s contractual arrangements with GroupSource and your continuing membership in the group benefits plan(s), which may change from time to time.

GroupSource online services are not intended to provide a comprehensive explanation of your group benefits.

Change of these Terms of Use

GroupSource may change these Terms of Use and the services provided by this site and our other online resources from time to time. You will be required to agree to accept these changes on their effective date in order to continue using the services.
