Termination or Cancellation

As noted above, these Terms of Service are a legally binding agreement between you and ToolBelt with respect to your use of the Services. Either we or you may terminate this agreement with or without cause or prior notice. You will still be liable for payment of any amounts due or other obligations incurred prior to termination, and if you use the Services after such termination, that use will constitute your new agreement to these Terms of Service. If applicable Laws require that we provide notice of termination or cancellation, we may give prior or subsequent notice by posting it on the Services or by sending a communication to any address (email or otherwise) that we have for you in our records. ToolBelt’s rights under these Terms of Service that by their terms, nature, sense or context are intended to survive the termination of these Terms of Service shall survive such termination. Without terminating your right to use the Services pursuant to these Terms of Service, we may suspend or block your access to the Services whenever it appears to us that you might be breaching or violating these Terms of Service or otherwise about to cause harm or damage to us or others. No breach of these Terms of Service by ToolBelt shall be deemed a material breach unless ToolBelt is first given not less than fifteen (15) business days to cure the breach.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any action subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to reasonably assist and cooperate with ToolBelt in the defense thereof. Even where ToolBelt assumes the defense and control of any such action, your obligation to indemnify ToolBelt in connection with the claim remains. Your obligations in this paragraph will survive the termination of your use of the Services and/or these Terms of Service.

If you deal with a linked site, your transaction is not with ToolBelt so you should review the linked site’s “terms of use,” other contract(s) and/or privacy notice before completing your transaction.

(b) ToolBelt may further use third party services, software or applications in making available the Services to you. You agree to comply with any and all third party license terms, terms of use, or terms of service applicable to any such third party service, software or applications, and shall not take or fail to take any act that would cause ToolBelt to be in breach or violation of any such third party license terms, terms of use, or terms of service. You further acknowledge and agree that ToolBelt shall not be responsible for, and shall have no liability to you in connection with, the unavailability, failure of, or your inability to use, any such third party service, software or applications.
