Upon suspension or termination, User will be responsible for all current charges up to the termination date, including outstanding balances and late fees, if any.

Such linked sites are not under MAXpci’s control and you acknowledge and agree that MAXpci is not responsible or liable for the content, information, services, or products of such third-party sites. You expressly assume all risk of accessing third-party sites. Links to a third-party site do not constitute endorsement of that site by MAXpci. You will need to make your own independent judgment regarding your interaction with these linked sites.

MAXpci reserves the right to modify or stop the Services (or any part thereof), either temporarily or permanently, at any time or from time to time, with or without prior notice to you.

User may end authorization by administrating the user through the Site or by providing notice to support@MAXpcicomply.com. Such notice will be effective upon confirmation by MAXpci, via email, of receipt.

Because of the sensitive nature of performing security checks on IP addresses, you represent and warrant that you have full right, power, and authority to consent to have the service test for vulnerabilities (“Vulnerability Scan”) of the IP addresses identified to MAXpci for scanning, whether electronically or by any other means, whether at the time of initial request or thereafter. You further agree to immediately notify MAXpci if, at any time, you change the IP address of your primary website or any other that it has contracted with MAXpci to conduct a Vulnerability Scan. Without limiting any other remedy that MAXpci may have, you agree to indemnify and hold MAXpci, its employees, board of directors, shareholders and its partners harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by MAXpci, its employees, board of directors or shareholders, or such partner resulting from your breach of this paragraph.

You also acknowledge and agree that the scanning of such IP addresses may expose vulnerabilities and in some circumstances could result in the disruption of services at such site(s).

User understands and acknowledges that, in some situations, based on analysis of User practices by MAXpci, certain automated or manual system probes to identify website and network vulnerabilities (the “Evaluation Services”): (i) will be inherently invasive and intrusive, and include attempts by MAXpci, or its agents as applicable, to gain unauthorized access to User’s systems in an effort to make User aware of those areas in which User’s system is vulnerable to intrusion, damage, and/or unauthorized use, (ii) may result in inadvertent damage to User’s system as a result of dissimilarities among network systems, (iii) may cause excessive amounts of log messages resulting in excessive disk space consumption, and (iv) may cause degradation of User’s system and/or increased bandwidth usage as a result of attempts to penetrate, probe and/or crawl it including, but not limited to possible “slowdowns”, “hanging” or “crashing” of User’s system, possible failure of User’s system as a result of attempts to invade it, or any other damage resulting from intrusive and/or invasive techniques used to gain access to User’s system. User hereby gives its informed consent to intrusion into User’s systems by MAXpci and its agents for the sole purpose of performing the Evaluation Services provided herein.

Upon any breach, as determined by MAXpci in its sole discretion, without prior notice MAXpci may, but shall not be required to: (a) suspend or terminate your access to the Site and Services, (b) block your future access to the Site and Services, or (c) take any other lawful action MAXpci deems appropriate to protect its interests or enforce these Terms of Use. You also agree that any violation by you of these Terms of Use will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice, and will cause irreparable harm to MAXpci, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to MAXpci obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that MAXpci deems necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies MAXpci may have at law or in equity.

In the event of your breach, you agree to pay all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees MAXpci incurs in enforcing its rights or collecting payment under these Terms of Use. Nothing in this paragraph is meant to limit MAXpci’s rights under the contract, common law or equity.

You agree that these Terms of Use supersede any prior agreements or statements made verbally or in writing concerning your use of the Services.

These Terms of Use are to be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard for principles of conflicts of laws. Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, except for an injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms of Use by you, shall be referred to final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator, under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association in Arlington County, Virginia. The arbitrator shall be selected by you and MAXpci, and if you and MAXpci are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.
