TLM MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT, IDENTITY, INTENTIONS, LEGITIMACY, OR VERACITY OF USERS.

  • TLM May Review and Use Background Checks You Order or Authorize About Yourself

    By registering for and using the Site or Services as an individual Education Provider, and subject to your authorization, you acknowledge and agree that TLM may review and use any Background Checks you have ordered or authorized about yourself for the purpose of protecting the safety and integrity of our Site and its users, which may, in the case of certain Education Providers, be considered an employment purpose pursuant to the FCRA. TLM reserves the right to terminate your membership based on the information contained in such a report, even if such information was subsequently dismissed.

    If TLM terminates your membership or access to the Site on the basis of information in a Background Check, we will notify you and provide you the name and contact information of the consumer reporting agency that created the report. We will also provide you a copy of the report unless the consumer reporting agency has already provided you a copy or access to it. You hereby represent, understand and expressly agree that TLM does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the quality, accuracy, or reliability of the information included in these Background Checks. Furthermore, any inaccuracies in the report must be addressed with the consumer reporting agency that issued it and not TLM.

  • TLM May Order and Use Background Screenings About You

    By registering for and using the Site or Services as an Education Seeker or Education Provider, you hereby acknowledge and agree that TLM has the right, but not the obligation, to use a third-party consumer reporting agency on an ongoing basis to use your personal information to run periodic background screenings on you for the purpose of protecting the safety and integrity of our Site and its users ("Preliminary Membership Screens"), which may, in the case of certain Education Providers, be deemed to be an employment purpose under the FCRA. Subject to certain additional disclosures and authorizations, if applicable to you as an Education Provider, TLM may order these screenings when you register with TLM and thereafter in connection with your continued use of our Services and/or interaction with our Site (such as by contacting or communicating with other members, posting or updating a job or profile, ordering or authorizing a Background Check, etc.). These Internal Background Checks are also regulated by FCRA, and the background reports resulting from these services are considered "consumer reports" under FCRA.

    You understand and agree that TLM may review the information provided by the third-party consumer reporting agency and that TLM retains the right to terminate your TLM registration based on the information it receives from these checks, even if such information was subsequently changed or corrected. If TLM terminates your membership or access to the Site on the basis of information in a background report, we will notify you and provide you the name and contact information of the consumer reporting agency that created the report. We will also provide you a copy of the report unless the consumer reporting agency has already provided you a copy or access to it. You hereby represent, understand and expressly agree that TLM does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the quality, accuracy, or reliability of the information included in these checks. Furthermore, any inaccuracies in the report must be addressed with the consumer reporting agency that issued it (and not TLM) within the time period specified in your notice. Notwithstanding this, you agree that TLM is under no obligation to reinstate any accounts it may have terminated even if the information that led to the termination is subsequently changed or corrected.

    BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND USING OUR SITE, AND, IF APPLICABLE TO YOU AS AN EDUCATION PROVIDER (OR EDUCATION SEEKER), SUBJECT TO YOUR ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION, YOU AGREE TO ALLOW TLM TO PERFORM THESE INTERNAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR THE PURPOSES DESCRIBED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THESE INTERNAL BACKGROUND CHECKS TO BE PERFORMED, YOU SHOULD NOT USE TLM.

  • TLM May Regularly Verify Your Identity and the Accuracy of Your Representations and Warranties

    By registering as an Education Provider or Education Seeker, and, if applicable to you as an Education Provider, subject to your additional authorization, you authorize TLM, and acknowledge that for purposes of promoting the safety and integrity of its Site and Service, TLM reserves the right, but not the obligation, to utilize third party service providers to verify on an ongoing basis that your registration data is accurate and that the representations and warranties in Section 2 above addressing legal matters such as complaints, arrests, sex offender status, etc. are also true ("Verification Checks"). These third parties may use data from a variety of sources, under a variety of circumstances, for these site safety purposes including, without limitation, information from national criminal databases, sex offender registries, certain media streams, terrorist watch lists, criminal and fugitive watch lists, fraud watch lists, law enforcement reports, and other data.

    You agree that TLM may take such action in response to Verification Checks as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including without limitation suspending and/or terminating your membership, should it determine that you have violated any representation or warranty or any other provision of these Terms or are otherwise unsuitable for TLM. You also hereby represent, understand and expressly agree that TLM does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the quality, accuracy, or reliability of the information included in a Verification Check. We do not typically communicate the results of a Verification Check to any third party, though we reserve the right to do so for law enforcement or other safety-related purposes in accordance with applicable laws.

    BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, AND, IF APPLICABLE TO YOU AS AN EDUCATION PROVIDER (OR EDUCATION SEEKER) SUBJECT TO YOUR ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION, YOU AGREE TO ALLOW TLM TO PERFORM THE VERIFICATION CHECKS DESCRIBED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THESE VERIFICATION CHECKS TO BE PERFORMED, YOU SHOULD NOT USE TLM.

  • Important Limitations About Background Checks; Release of Liability for Results of Background Checks, Internal Background Checks, and Verification Checks SPECIAL NOTICE FOR MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE:

    Criminal County Searches conducted in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as part of the Criminal Records Check and the Criminal+MVR Records Check (for individuals who are believed to have lived in one or both of these states during the seven years preceding the background check request) search only the Superior Court and a single District Court in the county seat or its equivalent for each county listed below. Criminal records (including misdemeanors and felonies) from other courts in these states will not be searched.

    This is an illustrative, non-comprehensive, list of certain state and county limitations of the background checks offered through TLM; additional limitations may apply in certain jurisdictions, including on the federal level. For example, for many states only certain registered sex offender information is reported, and for many states, only a subset of felony convictions are reported (and not any misdemeanors, charges or arrest records).

    In addition to legal and reporting system limitations of background checks, each check is performed with the authorization of the person being checked, using information he or she provides, such as home address, social security number, date of birth, and name. If a candidate provides incorrect information, the check might be run with inaccurate identifying data, which can impact the validity of the criminal check. Finally, criminal records are not always reported accurately or promptly, and human and electronic error can result in inaccurate or incomplete reporting. Consequently, even the most comprehensive background check offered may not disclose the existence of all criminal records in all jurisdictions. If you decide to access, use, or share information provided by a Background Check, you agree to do so in accordance with applicable law. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold harmless TLM from any loss, liability, injury, death, damage, or costs that may result from your use of, reliance on, or sharing of the information contained in a Background Check regardless of the cause, including, without limitation, due to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such information.

    You expressly acknowledge that TLM has no obligation to perform Background Checks, Internal Background Checks, or Verification Checks on any Registered Users. To the extent TLM performs such checks on certain Registered Users, the checks are limited and should not be taken as complete, accurate, up-to-date or conclusive evidence of the accuracy of any information those users have provided or of their eligibility to use the Services.

• 5. Termination

  TLM reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate your access to all or part of the TLM Site and/or Services, to remove your profile and/or any content posted by or about you from the Site, and/or to terminate your account with TLM, with or without notice for any reason or no reason in its sole discretion, including without limitation if TLM should determine that you are not eligible to use the Services, have violated any terms stated herein or in any of the Additional Terms, are not suitable for participation as a Registered User, have mis-used or mis-appropriated Site content, including but not limited to use on a "mirrored," competitive, or third-party site. Upon termination, TLM shall be under no obligation to provide you with a copy of any content posted by or about you on the Site. If we terminate your registration, we have no obligation to notify you of the reason, if any, for your termination.

  Following any termination of any individual's use of the Site or the Services, TLM reserves the right to send a notice thereof to other Registered Users with whom we believe the individual has corresponded.

  Our decision to terminate an individual's registration and/or to notify other Registered Users with whom we believe the individual has corresponded does not constitute, and should not be interpreted or used as information bearing on, the individual's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living.

• 6. Privacy

  Users access them at their own risk. It is the responsibility of the user to evaluate the content and usefulness of the information obtained from other sites. TLM does not control such sites, and is not responsible for their content. Users further acknowledge that use of any site or content controlled, owned or operated by third parties is governed by the terms and conditions of use for those sites, and not by TLM's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

You also authorize TLM, or a third-party payment processor that works on our behalf, to charge your chosen payment method according to the terms of the plan to which you subscribe. The subscription period and the amount and frequency of the charges will vary depending on the subscription plan you select. TLM reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.

  To the extent you elect to purchase other Services or product offerings we may offer for a fee, you authorize TLM to charge your chosen payment provider for the Services and/or products you purchase. You agree that if TLM already has your credit card on file as a result of prior purchases you have made, we may charge that credit card for the additional Services/products you purchase.

  • Automatic Subscription Renewal and Cancellation

    TLM PAID MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY UNTIL CANCELLED BY THE USER. AFTER YOUR INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION COMMITMENT PERIOD, AND AGAIN AFTER ANY SUBSEQUENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR AN ADDITIONAL EQUIVALENT PERIOD AS THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM YOU ORIGINALLY SELECTED AND AT THE SUBSCRIPTION RATE AND FREQUENCY DISCLOSED TO YOU ON THE SITE WHEN YOU ORIGINALLY SUBSCRIBED, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED AT THE TIME YOU SUBSCRIBED. IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A PAYMENT PLAN THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BE CHARGED MONTHLY OVER THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND YOU DECIDE TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION DURING THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE BILLED FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION ON A MONTHLY BASIS UNTIL ITS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED EXPIRATION DATE.

    You may cancel your paid membership subscription at any time by following the instructions on your account settings page or contacting TLM's customer service department at support@thelearningmatch.com. If you cancel your subscription, you typically will be permitted to use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term. Your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires, but your payment method will be charged, and you will be required to pay any cancellation or other fees associated with your early termination and disclosed to you at the time you signed up for the subscription plan.

  • Free Trial Offers

    TLM may offer limited-time free trial subscriptions to certain users from time-to-time. Users who sign up for a TLM Service on a free trial basis may have limited access to the Service and/or features of the Site. If a user signs up for a free trial subscription, unless he or she cancels before the expiration of the free trial period, the user will be charged the price then in effect for a subscription to the Service, unless otherwise informed by TLM at the time of original subscription. If a user does not want to continue with the Service after the expiration of the free trial period, the Education Seeker or Education Provider must downgrade or cancel their subscription, and request a refund of the subscription fee within thirty (30) days of being charged the subscription fee for the Service. Upon cancellation, the Education Seeker or Education Provider's credit card will be refunded for the amount of the most recent subscription charge so long as he or she has not used the subscription after the expiration of the free trial period.

  • Credits

    If you are an Education Provider, you may purchase or receive credits ("Credits") to be used where required to apply for or enhance your application to certain jobs posted by certain Education Seekers, or for other goods or services as described on the Site. If you purchase Credits, you agree to pay TLM the price indicated on the Site at the time you make your purchase. Credits have no monetary or cash value, and your purchase or receipt of Credits does not represent a pre-funding of stored value that can be accessed or used in the future for any purpose. Credits cannot be sold, transferred or exchanged for "real world" money or cash. You agree that all sales of Credits are final and non-refundable and you are not entitled to a refund of any unused Credits, including in the event that you close your account or your registration is terminated by us in accordance with Section 5 above. Credits expire as described on the Site at the time you purchase or receive them. Upon expiration, we have the right but not the obligation to redeem any remaining Credits for other goods or services, which shall be identified at our sole discretion.

  • Refund Policy

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have a paid membership subscription that is automatically renewed, we will refund the most recent charge to your credit card if: (i) you have not used your subscription during the current subscription renewal period and (ii) you downgrade or cancel your membership and request a refund of the most recent charge to your credit card within thirty (30) days of the most recent charge. Any such refunds will apply only to the most recent charge, regardless of how such a refund request is made, for example, whether to TLM or to your credit card company. In addition, TLM reserves the right to immediately downgrade or cancel your membership after payment of your refund. TLM does not provide refunds or credits under any other circumstances, unless it determines in its sole discretion that a refund or credit is warranted due to extenuating circumstances, such as a duplicate account.

  • Agreement to Arbitrate
    • 1. Agreement to Arbitrate

      This Section 13 is referred to in these Terms as the "Arbitration Agreement". Unless you opt-out in accordance with the opt-out procedures set forth in Section 13.8 below, you agree that all claims relating to or arising out of these Terms or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise that have arisen or may arise between you and TLM or a TLM Affiliate, whether relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, the Site, or otherwise, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

    • 2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

      YOU AND TLM AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND TLM EXPRESSLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AGAINST TLM AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER TLM USERS.

      If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

    • 3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

      TLM is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently. So before you commence arbitration, we suggest that you contact us to explain your complaint, as we may be able to resolve it without the need for arbitration. You may contact us via email at info@thelearningmatch.com or at THE LEARNING MATCH LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 370 Camino Gardens Blvd., Boca Raton, FL 33432.

    • 4. Arbitration Procedures

      If we cannot resolve a Claim informally, any Claim either of us asserts will be resolved only by binding arbitration and not in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (collectively referred to as the "JAMS Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, and excluding the JAMS Class Action Procedures. For information on JAMS, please visit its website, https://www.jamsadr.com/. Information about JAMS's Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the JAMS consumer arbitration page, https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. If there is any inconsistency between the JAMS Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would, including without limitation, the limitation of liability provisions in Section 11. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

      To commence an arbitration against TLM, you must write a demand for arbitration that includes a description of the dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com. You should send three copies of the Demand, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS at 500 North State College Blvd., Suite 600, Orange, CA 92868, and send one copy to TLM at TLM, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 77 Fourth Avenue, 5th Floor, Waltham, MA 02451. For more information, see the JAMS arbitration rules and forms,https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-download/. You may represent yourself in the arbitration or be represented by an attorney or another representative. Once we receive your arbitration claim, we may assert any counterclaims we may have against you.

      The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less you or TLM may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and TLM subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or TLM, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

      The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all claims relating to or arising out of this contract, or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise and all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

      The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different TLM users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same TLM user to the extent required by applicable law.

    • 5. Costs of Arbitration

      Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the "Arbitration Fees") will be governed by the JAMS Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If you demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, TLM will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, TLM will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Each party will be responsible for all other fees it incurs in connection with the arbitration, including without limitation, all attorney fees. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse TLM for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by TLM on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the JAMS rules.

    • 6. Confidentiality

      All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

    • 7. Opt-Out Procedure

      You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by mailing us a written opt-out notice ("Opt-Out Notice") in accordance with the terms of this Section. For new TLM users, the Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 Days after the date you use our Site or Services for the first time. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to THE LEARNING MATCH LLC Attn: Legal Department, 370 Camino Gardens Blvd., Boca Raton, FL 33432. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to the Arbitration Agreement and must include your name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to log in to the TLM account(s) to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, TLM will likewise not be bound by these arbitration provisions. All other terms of these Terms will continue to apply. Opting out of the Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us. TLM users who accepted a previous version of these Terms that included an arbitration agreement, and who did not timely opt out of that arbitration agreement, remain bound by the last arbitration agreement that they accepted. Upon receipt of a valid Opt-Out Notice, TLM will provide the opting out user with a copy of the arbitration agreement from the last version of the Terms that the user accepted, if any exists.

    • 8. Future Changes to this Arbitration Agreement

      Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, such change shall not be effective until at least 60 days from the date of posting, and shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against TLM prior to the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this Arbitration Agreement from these Terms, such termination shall not be effective until 30 days after the version of these Terms not containing the Arbitration Agreement is posted to the Site, and shall not be effective as to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against TLM prior to the effective date of removal.

  • Governing Law and Jurisdiction

    These Terms, and all claims relating to or arising out of this contract, or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, including Florida's statutes of limitations governing your claim, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law, provided that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of Section 13, the Arbitration Agreement. Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Arbitration Agreement is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute (except for small-claims court actions), either as a result of your decision to opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and TLM must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of Delaware. You and TLM agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the State of Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

  • Consent to Electronic Communication

    By using the Site or Services of TLM, you agree to allow TLM to communicate with you electronically, and you consent to electronic delivery of notices, documents, or products (including, without limitation, reports or copies of Background Checks and Preliminary Membership Screens) from TLM via the TLM Site, mobile application, online messaging platform, or e-mail. You also agree to check your TLM account, alerts, and messages, and the e-mail account reflected on your TLM on a reasonably regular basis to stay apprised of important notices and information about your account.

  • Miscellaneous

    Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venturer, agent, legal representative, employer, contractor or employee of the other. Neither party shall have, or hold itself out to any third party as having any authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that shall be binding on the other, except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any term or provision of these Terms shall in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other term or provision of these Terms. Each Affiliate (as defined in Section 1.2) is expressly made a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce this Agreement directly against you. This Agreement will be binding on and will insure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

  • Severability

    If a court decides that any term or provision of these Terms other than Section 13.2 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and these Terms shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court decides that any of the provisions of Section 13.2 are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of Section 13 shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms will continue to apply.
