Through, and as part of, the Business Management System we may require that you establish an operating account with a bank or other financial institution that we designate or approve (the "Operating Account").

You must utilize the Operating Account in accordance with the System Standards as we designate (e.g.

We may change, alter or amend the functions, components, System Standards, Computer System, Purchase Order System, Technology Fund and any other aspect of the Business Management System from time-to-time.
