Any attempt to do so will result in a violation of the rights of SS. If you breach these restrictions or allow a third party to breach these restrictions, you may be subject to prosecution and damages. The terms of this Agreement shall govern any upgrades or updates provided by SS.

The license granted to you does not permit you or your clients, employees, contractors, partners and other affiliates the right to re-publish the Report Service either in whole or in part on any website or on the internet. A breach of this restriction shall constitute grounds for termination of services.
- Modifications or Upgrades. SS and its affiliates reserves the right to modify, update, supplement, limit, discontinue, remove or disable access to, the Report Service or portion thereof without notice to you and neither SS nor its affiliates shall be liable to you or any third party.
