Enforcement

ECP reserves the right to monitor Internet access to the ECP services by authorized User(s)/Licensee(s), as part of the normal course of its business practice. Should ECP discover User(s) engaged in Prohibited Actions as outlined above, which create denial of access or impediment of service, and which adversely affect ECP’s ability to provide services, ECP reserves the right to temporarily suspend User/Licensee access to the ECP Host Server and/or Database. ECP shall make written/electronic notification to User or Licensee point of contact of any temporary suspension, and the cause thereof, as soon as reasonably possible. This temporary suspension will remain in effect until the Prohibited Actions have ceased.
