4.2 Updates and Support. Branch will maintain, support, update, and provide error corrections for the Services to the same extent it does so for its customers generally. If Branch provides you with an update or maintenance release for the offline components of the Branch Services, unless you receive a separate license from Branch for that update or release that expressly supersedes these Terms, such update or release will be subject to these Terms. Branch shall have no liability for any damages that may result from Customer’s failure to implement upgrades or updates to the Services provided that Customer is notified in writing by Branch of such upgrade or update. All support requests must be sent to the Branch Support team via the “Submit a Ticket” function at http://help.branch.io/, or its successor URL.

5. Beta Services

6.1 Cancellation & Termination Under Reseller Agreement. Under the terms and conditions of Branch’s Reseller Agreement with the Reseller, Branch is entitled to suspend or terminate your subscription to the Service, your rights to access and use the Services or your account, and remove and delete any your data if: (a) Branch is notified by Reseller of your failure to pay amounts due to Reseller with respect to your subscription to a Service; or (b) Reseller fails to pay any amounts due to Branch pursuant to the Reseller Agreement with respect to your subscription to a Service. You consent to these suspension and termination rights and acknowledge and agree that Branch shall have no liability to you of any kind with respect to any such suspension or termination.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement (including access to all Services that are in effect) in the event of a material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days of the date of written notice of such breach. For the avoidance of doubt, a breach of the Branch Acceptable Use Policy will be considered a material breach of this Agreement. Termination by either Party for material breach of these Terms will be effective as of the last day of the 30-day cure period provided herein or immediately to the extent such violation reasonably cannot be cured.
6.3 Termination by Branch. Branch reserves the right to suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any portion of the Services upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice (email sufficient), provided that Branch will promptly provide a pro-rated refund of all pre-paid and unearned amounts based on the period of suspension or the date of discontinuance, as applicable, and Branch will have no further obligations or liability to you or any third-party as a result of such suspension or discontinuance. Except where there are any Order Form(s) in effect, Branch may terminate your use of the Services without prior notice for any reason at any time by providing you with written notice. Additionally, Branch may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause without notice if provision of the Services violates applicable law, regulation or court order.

7. Survival
