When logging into your account you need to make sure of the following:
1. You are entering your email address exactly as you entered it in the signup process; and
2. You are entering your password exactly as you entered it in the signup process.
Both of these details are recorded in the welcome email we send to you once you have registered.
Our security system is case sensitive so be sure to check this as well.
