Nevertheless, Company reserves the right to delete or take other action with respect to Postings (or parts thereof) that Company believes in good faith violate this TOS and/or are, or are potentially, unlawful or harmful to Company or its products, services, and goodwill. If you violate this TOS, Company may, in its sole discretion, delete the unacceptable content from your Posting, remove or delete the Posting in its entirety, issue you a warning, and/or terminate your use of the Company Website. Moreover, it is a policy of Company to take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act under U.S. Copyright Law and other applicable intellectual property laws.

If payment cannot be charged to your payment card or your payment is returned for any reason, Company at its sole option may either suspend or terminate your access to the unpaid Services. All recurring payment obligations start from the Effective Date and payment for the Services is due immediately upon issuance of an invoice. Unless otherwise specified in an Order, payment of all fees is due at the time the Order is executed. Where the ordering document creates an annual subscription schedule, payment for the first years’ service is due upon execution of the Order and payment of fees for subsequent years of services are due on the anniversary of the execution of the Order. Failure to make timely payments is a material breach of the Agreement for which Company may suspend its performance obligations as well as your access to the Services. You will reimburse Company for any expenses incurred in collecting amounts due Company that are not in good faith dispute. Purchases are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, nor dependent on any oral or written comments made by Company regarding future functionality or features.
