Termination or Suspension by Us.
We may suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Sites or Services, or block or disable your access or use of the Apps, at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately.

No Waiver.
No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and the MIND Education's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
