You represent, warrant, covenant and agree that you have not, and that you will not, provide us with any Permitted Accounts Information or any other information in connection with any user account for a Supported Site or other social media site in connection with your use of the Service and our archival of any Archived Content other than with respect to user accounts for which (i) you are the actual owner or (ii) you have been explicitly authorized to provide such access (for example, if you are an authorized Representative of a Subscriber)(collectively, “Permitted Accounts“). If you fail to abide by the foregoing provision, we may, in our discretion, immediately terminate your Subscriber account, revoke or restrict your right to access or to use the Website, Service or your Archived Content and/or delete or move any or all of your Archived Content.

Use by your Representatives. As part of using the Service, you may choose to grant one or more of your Representatives with access to your Archived Content, to your Credentials, to your Permitted Accounts Information and/or to additional information or credentials providing varying degrees of access to your Subscriber account as created by us at your direction via the Website, including for purposes of adding or removing one or more Permitted Accounts for use in connection with the Service.

Any of these events could disrupt our ability to provide the Service as intended, or to provide the Service at all, including our ability to capture or to maintain your Archived Content as described on the Website and elsewhere.

16. MISCELLANEOUS

Use of the Website is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of the Agreements, including without limitation this Section 16. Paragraph headings and sub-headings are solely for the convenience of reference and shall not be given any weight or effect in the interpretation or construction of the Agreements. Waiver of any breach or default under any provision of the Agreements shall not be effective unless it is in writing and executed by us, and shall not be deemed to be, and shall not be, a waiver of any subsequent or continuing breach of, or default under, such provision or of any other provision. The Agreements constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and us with respect to the Website or the Service. The Agreements, including these Terms, are personal to you, and you may not transfer, assign or delegate your right and/or duties under the Agreements to any third party. Any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation in violation hereof is void. If any provision of the Agreements is deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreements shall continue in full force and effect. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
