Deltapath reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify this Agreement at any time without further notice. It is Customer’s responsibility to periodically review the current Terms of Service as Customer’s continued use of the CS after any such changes constitutes Customer’s acceptance of the new Terms of Service. All waivers must be in writing. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. Deltapath reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the CS (or any part thereof) at any time without further notice. Customer agrees that Deltapath will not be liable to you or to a third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the CS.

- Compliance with Laws. Customer represents and warrants that it will comply with all applicable State of California, USA (including export regulations), and communications common carrier tariffs, and use the CS solely for lawful purposes. Deltapath reserves the right to take all actions, including termination of the CS, which it believes necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
