an identification code (called a "user ID") contained in an

and the document's authenticity.
12. Ending the Agreement
Regardless of the contract duration, or any renewal period in effect,
either of us may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, on
one months' written notice. If, under applicable law, a longer period
is mandatory, then the notice period is the minimum notice period allowable.
If we terminate for cause we may, at our discretion, allow you a reasonable
opportunity to cure. If you fail to do so, the date of termination is
that specified in the notice.

the other party may terminate the Agreement on written notice. Examples
of such breach by you are : if you do not maintain customer satisfaction
; if you repudiate this Agreement ; or if you make any material misrepresentations
to us. You agree that our only obligation is to provide the notice called
for in this section and we are not liable for any claims or losses if
we do so.
