Docassist may immediately suspend Customer’s password, account, and access to the Services if (i) Customer fails to make payment due within ten business days after Docassist has provided Customer with notice of such failure; or (ii) Customer violates Section 2.a., 3, or 9 of these Terms of Service. Any suspension by Docassist of the Services under the preceding sentence shall not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under the Proposal.
