Without limiting its other remedies, Helpster may suspend or terminate this Agreement, your access to the Services and your account if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. Helpster may take such actions at its sole discretion, without prior notice to you. Upon such violation, you agree to cease use of the Services. Upon termination, those provisions of this Agreement that expressly or by their nature survive will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver & Modifications.
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
Helpster may amend these terms at any time by posting a revised version of the Agreement to the App. Any such modifications will become effective upon the date they are first posted to the App. By continuing to access the App after the revised terms become effective, you agree to be bound to the revised terms.
