Even if the Hosted Software or Cloud Software Services are not currently administered to you by an organization, if you use an email address provided by an organization (such as your work email address) to access the Hosted Software, Cloud Software, or the Services, then the owner of the domain associated with your email address (e.g. your employer) may assert administrative control over your account and use of the Hosted Software, Cloud Software, or Services at a later date.

If you do not want an administrator to be able to assert control over your account or use of the Hosted Software, Cloud Software, or Services, use your personal email address to register for or access the Hosted Software, Cloud 7 Software, or Services.
