You agree that Laureus may terminate or suspend your access to and use of the Platforms if Laureus reasonably believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Use, or violated the rights of Laureus, its affiliated companies or any third party, or for any reason with or without notice to you. You agree that Laureus may modify or discontinue providing any of the Platforms, with or without notice to you. You agree that Laureus will not be liable to you or any third party as a result of such modification or discontinuation.

General provisions

Unless otherwise specified, the information and materials presented on the Platforms are presented solely for the purpose of promoting. Laureus makes no representation that Laureus Material is appropriate or available for use in every country of the world.

If any provision, or part of a provision, of these Terms of Use is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall be deemed not to form part of these Terms of Use, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of these Terms of Use shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable law.

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in relation to the Terms of Use, including the validity, invalidity, breach or termination thereof, shall be adjudicated or arbitrated in accordance with said Terms of Use.
