5. Account Access; Identity Protection
In order to provide you with ease of access to your account, CNBC will place a cookie (a small text file) on any computer from which you access the Service. Please see our Privacy Policy for information about cookies. When you revisit the Service, this cookie will enable us to recognize you as the account holder and provide you with direct access to your account without requiring you to retype any password or other user identification. You are responsible for updating and maintaining the truth and accuracy of the information you provide to us relating to your account.
You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer or mobile device. Users of public or shared computers or unprotected mobile devices should log out at the completion of each visit to the Service. If you find that you're a victim of identity theft and it involves a CNBC account, you should notify customer service. Then, you should report this instance to all your credit card issuers, as well as your local law enforcement agency. CNBC reserves the right to place any account on hold anytime with or without notification to the subscriber in order to protect itself and its partners from what it believes to be fraudulent activity. CNBC is not obligated to credit or discount a membership for holds placed on the account by either a representative of CNBC or by the automated processes of the Service.

8. Submissions
CNBC is pleased to hear from users and welcomes your comments regarding CNBC's programs and services. CNBC's longstanding company policy does not allow it to accept or to consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other than those it has specifically requested. We hope that you will understand that the intent of this policy is to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by CNBC's employees and agents might seem to be similar to creative works submitted by users. Accordingly, while we value your feedback, we must ask that you do not send original creative materials. If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions (for example contest entries), or without a request from us you send creative suggestions, ideas, notes or concepts or other materials (collectively, "Comments"), they shall be deemed, and shall remain, the property of CNBC, and shall otherwise be subject to the provisions below. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to grant all rights in the Comments to CNBC. Disclosure, submission, or offer of any Comments shall constitute an assignment to CNBC of all worldwide rights, titles, and interests in all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in such Comments. CNBC may edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate, and otherwise use in any medium any Comments that you forward to CNBC and will own exclusively all such rights, titles, and interest and shall not be limited in any way in its use, commercial or otherwise, of the Comments. CNBC is and shall be under no obligation to: (1) maintain any of your or any user's Comments in confidence; (2) to pay to you or any user any compensation for any Comments; or (3) to respond to any of your or any other user's Comments.
9. Merchants and Rules for Sweepstakes, Contests, Raffles and Similar Promotions
In addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any sweepstakes, contests, raffles or similar promotions (collectively, "Promotions") made available through the Service may be governed by specific rules that are separate from this Agreement. We note that you should review the specific rules for a particular Promotion to determine whether you are eligible to participate in such Promotion. By participating in any such Promotion, you will become subject to any specific rules applicable to such Promotion, which may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein. CNBC urges you to review any specific rules applicable to a particular Promotion, which will be linked from such Promotion, and to review our Privacy Policy which, in addition to this Agreement, governs any information you submit in connection with such activities. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules conflict with this Agreement, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, merchants found on or through the Service, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such merchant. CNBC will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such merchants on the Service.
