The verification email may take 1 – 2 hours to land in your inbox depending on your internet provider. Please check your spam and junk folder to ensure it hasn’t landed there.

When activating, if you try to reset your password before completing the email verification step this may result in your account being blocked. Please contact our Customer Service Team if this happens.
