TERMINATION
We shall not be liable to you or any third party for termination of the Website or your account with us. Should you object to any Terms of Use of the Website or any subsequent modifications thereto or become dissatisfied with the Website, our fees, or any other aspect of this agreement in any way, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue use of the Website.
If your license terminates for any reason, your access to and use of the Website shall terminate. You will be entitled to retain the User Content you posted to the Website. Your obligation to pay MSA4S/AS&K for all accrued “Payment Obligations” shall survive the termination. If MSA4S/AS&K is paid in full, MSA4S/AS&K will permit you to transfer the Website domain name (i.e. URL) into your name. All other aspects of the Website shall remain the exclusive property of MSA4S/AS&K or its third-party content providers.
All rights and obligations of MSA4S/AS&K under these Terms of Use are freely assignable and/or delegable by MSA4S/AS&K in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, by operation of law, or any other form of assignment, delegation, or succession. Your rights and obligations under these Terms of Use may not be assigned, delegated, transferred, shared, or divided in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of MSA4S/AS&K.
You acknowledge that nothing in this agreement creates a partnership, joint venture or employer-employee relationship, and neither party is acting as an agent of the other party. For purposes of clarity, neither party has any authority to make any commitments on behalf of the other party or to purport to bind the other party in any manner or to any extent.
These Terms and Conditions will remain in full force and effect while you use the MSA4S/AS&K Services. Those terms that can continue to operate after you stop using the MSA4S/AS&K Service (including without limitation your Content license to MSA4S/AS&K), will survive after you stop using the MSA4S/AS&K Service.
