    3. We may suspend or cancel your access to the Service if you breach, or we reasonably suspect you have breached, a material term of these Terms. We will give you 5 Business Days’ prior notice unless the breach is determined by us to be sufficiently material to warrant urgent suspension or cancellation, or we are otherwise required by a court, third party or regulator to suspend Services sooner. If the circumstances that gave rise to a suspension are rectified and are unlikely to be repeated, we will reinstate your access to the Service.
    4. Cancellation or termination of the Service does not affect any rights accrued prior to termination.
  10. Are there any other terms which apply?
    1. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and illion concerning your use of the Service. No delay or failure by illion to exercise a right under the Terms prevents the exercise of that right or any other right on that or any other occasion.
    2. Each party will comply with all applicable Laws, including Privacy Laws. Where Privacy Laws do not apply to you, you agree to comply as if you were bound.
    3. If, in connection with your actions or use of the Service, a Regulator makes enquiries, conducts an investigation or otherwise takes action that requires us to provide assistance or information, we will do so (at your cost and to the extent legally required).

    8. A single or partial exercise or waiver of a right relating to these Terms does not prevent any other exercise of that right or any other right.
    9. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture or employment relationship between the parties. These Terms are not exclusive and you agree there are no restrictions on us providing Service to any other person.
