User may not use Web pages or parts of Web pages generated by means of the Software, other than content that originates from and is proprietary to User, on any server other than the servers controlled by InfoGears without InfoGears's express written agreement. User also acknowledges and agrees that the Software is intended for access and use by means of web browsing software and that InfoGears does not commit to support any particular browsing platform. InfoGears reserves the right at any time to revise and modify the Software, release subsequent versions thereof and to alter features, specifications, capabilities, functions, and other characteristics of the Software, all without notice to User.

All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

4.2 InfoGears' Intellectual Property. User acknowledges and agrees that content available from InfoGears or the Service, including, but not limited to, text, software, music, sound, logos, trademarks, service marks, photographs, graphics, or video, is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, or other proprietary rights and laws, and may not be used in any manner other than as specified in Section 4.1 above.

Termination of the Agreement based on User's failure to pay any amount(s) due hereunder is governed by Section 5.2 hereof. Termination of the WSA by User shall not relieve User of its obligation to pay Infogears any amount(s) owed to Infogears prior to the date of termination.

7.2 Termination for Illegal or Other Activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, InfoGears may, but has no duty to, immediately terminate User and remove it from InfoGears' servers if InfoGears, in its sole discretion, concludes that User is engaged in illegal activities or the sale of illegal or harmful goods or services, or is engaged in activities or sales that may damage the rights of InfoGears or others.
