These Terms of Use (“Terms”) state the terms and conditions governing your use of and access to the Sites and constitute a legally binding contract between you and Gateway. These Terms incorporate any additional terms and conditions posted by Gateway through the Sites, or otherwise made available to you by Gateway.

IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT AND CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND POLICY, THEN YOU MUST NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SITES.
We may change these Terms and/or Policy from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting revised Terms or Policy through the Sites. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Terms or Policy incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes.

Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Terms on the Sites. Your use of the Sites following these changes means that you accept the revised Terms.
