Other than as specified in the foregoing, no other rights are granted to you under these Terms to use the Services (including any Software offered in connection therewith).

If you fail to take such action, CloudVerse may suspend or disable the Application and your Account until that violation is remediated to CloudVerse’s satisfaction. In the event that CloudVerse determines at its sole discretion that your or your End User’s use of the Services could:

If any of the abovementioned events persists for more than 15 calendar days, CloudVerse may terminate these Terms, without assuming any liability, by immediate written notice to you.
(e) Waiver and Severability. The waiver by either party of any breach of these Terms does not waive any other breach.
