We can elect to suspend, rather than terminate, your access, to permit us to investigate or seek or await further information. But we are not obligated to choose suspension. We could terminate.
Termination under Section 19(b), or suspension, or other action by us, does not entitle you to any refund for payments made to us.
We do not have to give you notice that we terminated or suspended your access or subscription. We may elect whether or not to give notice. If you notice inability to access an Online Manual, and you ask, then after we are able to internally verify having suspended or terminated your subscription and/or access, we may inform you in response to your inquiry.

The arbitrator shall have no authority to amend or modify these Terms of Use. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This provision for arbitration shall not restrict a party from requesting provisional relief in court and a request for provisional relief shall be deemed not to be a waiver of arbitration.
