This Site allows you to access information that AXA makes available to clients and/or brokers generally (the "Information") and certain data relating specifically to clients’ organizations that AXA makes available to clients (the "Client Data"). You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of and agree not to disclose your ID, password, or any encryption key to any person or entity.

2. If you are an insured of AXA and have received a password and user ID from AXA, you may print and then distribute one copy of each unique Certificate of Insurance as provided by AXA through the Site, only in accordance with the terms of your current policy.

You may only print and distribute one original Certificate of Insurance per unique number, and, if applicable, one duplicate Certificate of Insurance per certificate number. You may be allocated a range of unique Certificate of Insurance numbers, and you may only issue Certificates of Insurance within that allocated range. If you exceed this range, you may request additional Certificate of Insurance numbers from AXA. At AXA’s request, you will provide AXA with a report of the number of Certificates of Insurance you have used. You agree to cooperate in the recall of any Certificate of Insurance which has been voided; damaged, destroyed, or that has otherwise been issued but not used for its intended purpose or if the Certificate of Insurance is not available then you agree to cooperate with us in a manner by which you attest to the Certificate of Insurance being declared null and void. 3.
