Compliance with Investigations

General Legal Terms

If you have an account, additional terms may be imposed when you create and utilize the account, could be provided in writing to you by us, or may be imposed within any order form or other agreement you enter with us for the Services (the foregoing collectively the “Additional Terms”). All Additional Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms. 

The Terms is the entire agreement between you and us relating to the Services. The Terms replace any prior agreements. If there is any conflict between the Terms and a mutually signed written agreement between you and us related to the Services, the signed written agreement will control. 

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue our Services with or without notice to you, and you agree that we are not liable to you or any third party should we modify or discontinue any services, and that your only recourse is to cease using the Services. Continued use of the Services following any such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and satisfaction with the Services as modified.

Other parties may have rights under the Terms. A “third party beneficiary” is another party (for example, a company) who is not directly mentioned in an agreement, but who may have some rights arising out of an agreement. For example, our licensors may be third party beneficiaries to the Terms pursuant to our agreements with them. To the extent our licensors are third party beneficiaries to the Terms, the rights and protections provided to us under this Terms inure to their benefit.

If we provide you with a translation of the English language version of the Terms, the English language version of the Terms will control if there is any conflict.

If we choose not to enforce any provision of the Terms, we retain the right to enforce it in the future. This means that the failure to enforce any provision of the Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision. If any provision in the Terms is found to be unenforceable, it and any related provisions will be interpreted to best accomplish the unenforceable provision’s essential purpose.

The Terms are not assignable, transferable, or to be sublicensed by you except with our prior written consent.  We may assign, transfer, or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder without your consent.
