We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access for any other reason or no reason.
Upon termination of your access to the Notewise Services and any portions thereof howsoever arising, we may also terminate your access to your User Content and/or delete or disable your User Content.
We may decide to discontinue the Notewise Services for any reason or no reason. If we do so, we will endeavour to give you reasonable prior notice of us doing so, although such notice may not be possible if the discontinuation is due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control or due to the need to comply with a legal requirement.
You may link to the Notewise Services from your website, as long as it is done in a way that is both fair and legal. This includes, but is not limited to, the sharing of social media content.
You must not link to the Notewise Services if doing so may damage our reputation or where you suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement on our part where none exists or in any way that is inaccurate or misleading.
We value respectful and constructive communication with our users. In the event that a user engages in disrespectful, abusive, or rude behavior towards our staff, we reserve the right to refuse service to that user.
Unacceptable behavior includes but is not limited to:
We believe in maintaining a positive and collaborative environment for all users. If a user violates these behavioral expectations, we may take appropriate action, including refusing access to our services.
By using our services, you agree to treat our staff and other users with respect. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in the termination of your account or access to our services.
Notewise reserves the right to take steps that we believe are reasonably necessary or appropriate to enforce and/or verify compliance with any part of these Terms and or any other rights or responsibilities we may have.

If, for any reason, we fail to enforce any provision of these Terms, this will not affect our right to later enforce that or any other provision. Any agreement not to enforce, amendment or modification of these Terms must be in writing in order for it to be effective.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms to the minimum extent necessary in order that the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Under no circumstances is any independent contractor, agency, partnership, joint venture or other such relationship created by these Terms.
Accrued obligations and provisions of these Terms, which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms, shall survive such termination.

You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms to Notewise are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm Notewise and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, Notewise shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages) as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
Notewise shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside the reasonable control of Notewise, including without limitation any failure to perform hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or cause beyond Notewise’s control such as acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
These Terms including any supplemental policies and any documents expressly incorporated herein by reference (including Notewise’s Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and Notewise relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between you and Notewise with respect to the Notewise Services.
