  1. Found may delete or remove access to some or all of the Customer Data stored on the impacted Services;
  2. Found shall provide as much notice as is reasonably possible taking into account the urgency of the situation, its potential effect on Found’s ability to continue providing services to its customers generally and the need to maintain a safe and secure environment;

  1. supervision of the Authorised Users and ensuring compliance by each of them with the terms of this Agreement;
  2. the inputting and maintenance of the Customer Data and (except as otherwise expressly agreed by the parties) its security and integrity;

Found shall be entitled to maintain the suspension until the Customer is able to remedy its non-compliance with clauses 5.3 to 5.5 (inclusive) and to demonstrate its future ability to comply with such clauses to Found’s reasonable satisfaction.

  2. delete any Customer Data that is causing (or is alleged to cause) a breach of clause 5.7,

clause 2.5 shall apply to such disabling of access as it applies in the case of any suspension or temporary discontinuance or modification of the Services under clause 2.5.
