Any entities or individuals that access the Services under your Account or an Application are referred to in these Terms as “EndUsers.” You and your authorized End Users may access and use the purchased Services in accordance with these Terms during the Term. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your Account or the password for your Account, you will notify Tencent as promptly as possible.
