Restricted access
Access to certain areas of this website is restricted. Linnworks reserves the right to restrict access to areas of this website, or indeed this entire website, at Linnworks discretion.
If Linnworks provides you with a user ID and password to enable you to access restricted areas of this website or other content or services, you must ensure that the user ID and password are kept confidential. You must use a password that is non-guessable by another person through a combination of words or characters uniquely known to you. You must not use guessable words or characters such as your name or date of birth. You must not use the same password for multiple accounts and you must not write the password down. It is acceptable to use a password manager or password safe such as 1Password.
Linnworks may disable your user ID and password at Linnworks sole discretion without notice or explanation. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, Linnworks may disable your user ID and password if it considers that you have breached any of these terms and conditions or its Community Policy.
