Although Propelus attempts to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the Site, it makes no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the correctness, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or quality of the Site and Content accessible therein. It is possible that the Site could include typographical errors, inaccuracies or other errors, and that unauthorized additions, deletions and alterations could be made to the Site by third parties. In the event an inaccuracy arises, please inform Propelus so that it can be corrected. Propelus reserves the right to unilaterally correct any inaccuracies on the Site without notice. Information contained on the Site may be changed or updated without notice. Additionally, Propelus shall have no responsibility or liability for information, Content, or Course Content posted to, or otherwise accessible on, the Site by, on behalf of or from any third party.

In the event Course Content, Content or Services are listed at an incorrect price due to typographical errors or otherwise, Propelus has the right to refuse or cancel any such orders listed at the incorrect price. Propelus has the right to refuse or cancel any such orders regardless of whether: (i) the order has been confirmed; or (ii) your credit card, debit card or other electronic payment method has been charged. If your credit card, debit card or other payment method has already been charged for the Distribution and Propelus subsequently cancels your order, Propelus will promptly issue a credit to the applicable payment method in the amount of the incorrect price. Propelus reserves the right to change the prices applicable to any Distribution of Course Content or Services at any time in our sole discretion for any reason, without notice.
8. Terms Applicable to Placing Orders for Services and Course Content
General Terms. Propelus reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for Distribution at any time for any reason. Your account may also be restricted or terminated in Propelus’ sole discretion. Some situations that may result in your order being canceled include, without limitation, inaccuracies or errors in Course Content, Content or Services or pricing therefor or problems identified by Propelus. Propelus may also require additional verifications or information before accepting any order for Distribution. Propelus will contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is canceled after your payment method has been charged, Propelus will issue a credit to your payment method in the amount of the charge. Propelus also reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to prohibit Distribution to dealers or resellers. For purposes of these Terms, reselling shall be defined as purchasing or intending to purchase Distribution of any Services or Course Content from Propelus for the purpose of engaging in an assignment, sublicense, transfer or other Distribution of those same Services or Course Content to a third party in exchange for remuneration of any sort. Any Distribution or sale of Services made through the Site are expressly restricted to end-users for their own personal, non-commercial use and purpose, and not for Distribution to, or use on behalf of, third parties, unless specifically agreed to by Propelus in a signed writing.
Additional Services (including Subscription) Terms. Propelus may offer certain Services for Distribution through the Site, from time to time. The details, including without limitation availability and price, of such Services are subject to change without notice. Not all Services may be available for Distribution to all Users. Use of any Services is subject to the further terms and conditions contained herein. As to any Services which include Distribution of Course Content, Propelus reserves the right to add, remove, or otherwise change the availability of such Course Content at any time without notice and without liability therefor. If your Service subscription expires for any reason (e.g. User cancellation, invalid payment method, etc.) your access to such Services and any associated Course Content, if applicable, will be revoked immediately upon the date of Service expiration. If applicable, any Course Content not completed and reported to the applicable accrediting authority for accrual of continuing education or other credit as of the date of Service expiration will be ineligible to accrue such credit, without further refund or recourse.
9. Online Payments
Payment processing services for the Site are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Terms or otherwise purchasing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as they may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Propelus enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Propelus accurate and complete information about you and your business (as applicable to Course Providers), and you authorize Propelus to share such information and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
If you purchase Services on a subscription basis, your subscription may start with a free trial. The duration of the free trial period of your subscription will be specified during sign-up and is intended to allow new and targeted former Users to try the Services on a limited basis. Free trial eligibility is determined by Propelus in its sole discretion and Propelus may limit eligibility or duration of the free trial in its sole discretion. Propelus reserves the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold in the event Propelus determines, in its sole discretion, you are not eligible for the free trial. Individuals, households or members of an organization with an existing or recent Propelus subscription may not be eligible for a free trial. Propelus may use information including, without limitation, device ID or IP address, method of payment or other identifying information used in registering an existing or recent Propelus account, such as email address or name, to determine eligibility for a free trial. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply. Immediately upon the end of the free trial period, Propelus will charge the subscription fee to the payment method you provide at registration, and your subscription will automatically renew annually thereafter unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period or then-current renewal term. To view the applicable subscription price and end date of your free trial period, visit Propelus’ website and click the “Payment History” tab on your account home page.
If you enroll to make recurring payments automatically, all charges and fees will be billed to the payment method you designate during the account registration process. If you want to designate a different payment method or if there is a change in your credit card, you must update your information online. This may temporarily delay your ability to make online payments while Propelus verifies your new payment information.
If you enroll in a subscription for Services, your subscription is continuous and will be automatically renewed at the end of the applicable subscription term unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the then-current subscription term through your account home page. If you cancel your subscription, your account will automatically close at the end of your current subscription term. Propelus may change the price for your Propelus subscription, from time to time, and will communicate any price changes to you in advance. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription renewal term following the date of the announcement of the price change. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Site and/or Services after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with a price change, you have the right to reject the change by canceling your subscription to the Services prior to the price change taking effect.
By making online payments, you represent and warrant: (i) any credit card, debit card or bank account information you supply is true, correct and complete; (ii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit, debit card company or bank; (iii) you will pay the charges incurred by you in the amounts posted, including any applicable taxes; and (iv) you are the person in whose name the card was issued and you are authorized to make a purchase or other transaction with the relevant credit, debit or bank account information.
Course Content refunds. If you, as a User, are unhappy with any Course Content you may request a refund. After review of such request, Propelus may issue you a refund, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion. To request a refund, please contact us at support@cebroker.com. Please note that if Propelus believes that you are abusing Propelus’ refund policy, in its sole discretion, Propelus reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse or restrict any current or future use of the Site and Services. Any Course Content for which a refund is approved will be removed from your course completion history and account, and you will accrue no continuing education or other credit, as appliable, therefrom.
Service subscription refunds. Subscription charges for any Services are nonrefundable, in whole or in part. If you choose to cancel your subscription at any point after renewal (i.e. the fees are charged), the fees charged at renewal will not be pro-rated or refunded in any manner or for any amount (including, without limitation, for subscription Service-level changes).

The technology helps us better understand our Users’ experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what Users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our Services and Site with User feedback. The technology uses cookies and other tools to collect data on our Users’ behavior and their devices.

14. AI Content, Usage and Service Integration
Certain content and functionality accessible through the Site and Services may be created or delivered by, in whole or in part, Artificial intelligence (AI). AI can be used to help create meaningful and engaging content, as well as automate certain aspects of Service delivery including, without limitation, certain chat functionality in response to User queries. However, such content or Services are provided for informational purposes only, are provided ‘as-is, where-is, with all faults’ with no warranty of any kind, and must not be relied upon by a User for any specific purpose without verification of its accuracy or completeness.

26. Additional Terms Applicable to Course Providers
In addition to the other Sections of these Terms, the following shall apply to Course Providers:
Course Distribution Fees
Unless Course Content on the Site is Distributed through the Propelus Discount Program (as defined below), a Course Provider will be responsible for determining the fees to be charged for its Course Content Distributed hereunder, provided that Propelus reserves the right, but not the obligation, to review and modify the amount of fees charged for Distribution of Course Content in its sole discretion. If you are a Course Provider, you hereby authorize Propelus to deduct from the amounts paid by a User for Distribution of Course Content, a transaction fee to be retained solely by Propelus, regardless of whether Course Content is Distributed through a Discount Program or not (the “Propelus Transaction Fee”). The Propelus Transaction Fee varies depending on the level of service selected by the Course Provider. Course Provider acknowledges and agrees that the Propelus Transaction Fee for Course Content Distributed under: (i) the CEB Now and CEB Now+ Service levels shall be as mutually agreed upon by Propelus and Course Provider in writing; and (ii) the free course level shall be $0.99 per each Course Content Distributed. If Propelus changes the Propelus Transaction Fee, Propelus will provide you 30 days’ advance notice using prominent means, such as via email or by posting a notice through the Site.
Payment Terms
Propelus will issue payment for any amounts due to Course Providers for the distribution of Courses by the last day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which a Course was Distributed. Payment shall be made in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Propelus, and shall be remitted via an electronic payment service. You are solely responsible for providing Propelus with all identifying and tax information necessary for the proper payment of amounts due to any applicable taxing authority and solely liable for any deficiencies in collection resulting therefrom.
Service Level Selection; No Warranties
Course Provider may elect to enroll in CEB Now or CEB Now+ by contacting Propelus in writing at sales@cebroker.com. Course Provider may terminate either or both CEB Now or CEB Now+ Service upon no less than 14 days’ advance written notice sent to sales@cebroker.com. Propelus reserves the right to modify, terminate, or suspend any and all Services, either in total or as to any Course Provider(s) at any time, for any reason, in its sole discretion. If any Service, including, without limitation, CEB Now+, purports to provide advertising, marketing or other promotional services to, or for the benefit of, a Course Provider and/or Course Content, Course Provider acknowledges and agrees: (i) Propelus makes no representations or warranties as to the nature, kind, quality or efficacy of such Services; (ii) Propelus may take whatever action it sees fit, including, without limitation, no action, in its sole discretion, to provide such advertising, marketing or promotional services to, or for the benefit of, Course Provider; and (iii) Propelus is not liable for the content of any such advertising, marketing or promotional Services.
Discount Program
Propelus may, in its sole discretion, offer your Course Content through a discount program (the “Propelus Discount Program”). If your Course Content is sold through the Propelus Discount Program, you grant us the exclusive right: (i) to promote your Course Content through the Site or other third-party websites (such as Facebook) at discounts, the amount of which is solely determined by Propelus, off the prices you establish; and (ii) to allow certain third-party websites (collectively, the “Discount Sites”) to offer your Course Content at discounts, the amount of which to be chosen by Propelus and the Discount Sites, off the prices you establish. You agree not to directly or indirectly offer your Course Content without our written consent through any Discount Sites including, without limitation, Amazon Local, Living Social, Groupon, Appsumo, Stack Social, DealCoop and MightyDeals.
You may receive different amounts from the distribution of Course Content through the Propelus Discount Program depending on whether Course Content is promoted directly by Propelus or through a Discount Site. Such information will be communicated to you prior to offering your Course Content through a Discount Site. In order to promote the distribution of Course Content through the Propelus Discount Program, each Course Provider grants Propelus the right to Distribute Course Content on a royalty-free basis to Discount Sites for the Discount Sites to review such Course Content and determine whether the Discount Sites wish to market and promote the distribution of the Course Content.
All Course Providers and Course Content are automatically enrolled in the Propelus Discount Program. Propelus encourages you to remain in the Propelus Discount Program, as it helps drive distribution of your Course Content and find the optimal price-point for selling your Course Content. If you do not want to participate in the Propelus Discount Program, please email us at sales@cebroker.com.
Course Providers acknowledge and agree that Users may have the right to receive a refund as set forth in these Terms. Neither Course Providers nor Propelus shall receive any payments, fees or commissions for any transactions for which a refund has been granted. In the event that a User requests a refund for Course Content after Propelus has sent a Course Provider payment for that Course Content, Propelus reserves the right to either: (i) deduct the amount of such refund from the next payment to be sent to that Course Provider; or (ii) require Course Provider to repay Propelus any amounts refunded to Users for such Course Content.
Course Providers further acknowledge and agree:
- Your ability to offer Course Content on the Site is contingent upon your approval and authorization to provide certification and education credits by the applicable regulatory boards and other authorities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all Course Providers are subject to approval from Propelus, which Propelus may grant, deny or withdraw at any time in its sole discretion.
- You are solely responsible for all of the Course Content you provide in, through, or arising out of your use of the Site, and for the accuracy of same.
- You and your Course Content, as applicable, have been approved and authorized to provide certification and education credits by the applicable regulatory boards and other authorities.

- You will not engage in any activity that will require Propelus to obtain any licenses from or pay any royalties to any third party, including, by way of example and not limitation, the payment of royalties for the public performance of any musical works or sound recordings.
- You will not copy, modify, or distribute Propelus content from the Site, including trademarks and copyrights.
- You will not interfere with or otherwise prevent other Course Providers from providing their Services or Course Content.
- You will keep your content and contact information up to date and respond to Users seeking your Services in a timely fashion, so as to ensure quality of service provided to licensees and other Users of the Site.

- Propelus may record all or any part of any Course Content (including voice chat communications) for quality control and delivering, marketing, promoting, demonstrating or operating the Site. Propelus reserves the right to review the Course Content for any purpose, and may modify the presentation of a course so that it conforms to Propelus’ marketing vision.
27. Course Provider Content and Other Content
If, as a Course Provider, you submit, upload or post any Course Content, you agree not to provide any Course Content that: (i) is defamatory, abusive, libelous, unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, fraudulent, pornographic, or harmful, or that could encourage criminal or unethical behavior; (ii) violates or infringes the privacy, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secrets or intellectual property rights of any person or entity; or (iii) contains or transmits a virus or any other harmful component. You agree not to contact other Users through unsolicited email, telephone calls, mailings, or any other method of communication.
Each Course Provider grants to Propelus a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, world-wide, transferable right and license to use the Course Content to deliver the Services, including, without limitation, delivering or making available Course Content to Users in any medium or technology including, without limitation, online or remote access and electronic download whereby the User may download, display, view, hear, or print the Course Content; market, promote, advertise and provide the Site and the Services thorough any medium; and to otherwise use and exploit the Course Content (or any portion or derivative works thereof) for Propelus’ lawful business purposes, including commercial license and sublicense, through any and all Propelus and its affiliate’s distribution outlets or channels, whether now known or hereafter created (collectively “Distribute” or “Distribution”). This license enables us to provide the Services and provide access to the Course Content to Users, and is not intended to otherwise limit your rights to the Content. You hereby retain any and all rights that you have in and to your Course Content; provided, however, that you may not directly Distribute to a User who acquires or accesses your Course Content through the Site.
Propelus reserves the right (but is under no obligation) to monitor and edit or remove any Course Content submitted to the Site deemed in violation of these Terms or applicable law. Propelus may store and retain Course Content and User data, and disclose Course Content and User data without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that any such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, enforce these Terms, respond to claims that any Course Content violates the rights of third parties or protect Propelus’ rights, property or personal safety or that of Users and the public. You agree not to use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any of your Course Content. You are and shall remain solely responsible for the content of all of your Course Content. Propelus and its affiliates take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Course Content submitted by you or any third party.
You, as a Course Provider, have the right to remove all or any portion of your Course Content from the Site at any time, but such removal shall not terminate the grant of rights given to any Users who paid any required fees to access or use any removed Course Content prior to the Course Content removal. For the avoidance of doubt, removal of some, but not all, Course Content shall serve as a termination of Propelus’ license with respect only to such removed Course Content but not any other Course Content.
You, as a Course Provider, agree to defend, indemnify and hold Propelus harmless from and against all third-party claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against or incurred by Propelus arising out of any of your Course Content, your breach of any of these Terms, and/or your breach of any applicable law.
28. Injunctive Relief
You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if these Terms are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms by you, we shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that may be sought under the mandatory arbitration provision of these Terms, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Terms. For purposes of this Section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Florida. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. You agree that service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.
29. Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by contacting us as set forth in the “QUESTIONS” section below.
In the event that we are not able to resolve a dispute, and with the exception of the claims for injunctive relief by us as described above and to the extent allowed by law, you hereby agree that either you or we may require any dispute, claim, or cause of action (“Claim”) between you and us or any third parties arising out of use of the Site, the Services, and any other actions with us (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) to be arbitrated on an individual (non-class) basis. Claims also include, except as otherwise provided herein, disputes related to the coverage, applicability, arbitrability, enforceability, formation, scope, or validity of these Terms, including this Arbitration provision, all of which shall be subject to the sole power of the arbitrator as described herein. Notwithstanding anything else herein, the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver shall be determined by a court. In addition, both parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court (or a state court equivalent) for a Claim within the scope of its jurisdiction so long as the small claims action does not seek to certify a class, combine the claims of multiple persons, recover damages in excess of the limit for a small claim under applicable state law or is not transferred, removed, or appealed from small claims court to any different court. Additionally, if you are a California resident, you retain the right to obtain public injunctive relief from any court with proper jurisdiction.
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS VERY LIMITED. ADDITIONALLY, ANY ARBITRATION OF A CLAIM WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND, THEREFORE, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. AS PART OF THIS WAIVER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN AN ARBITRATION; THAT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON; AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR MULTIPLE-PARTY ARBITRATION.
You and we agree that your use of the Services involves interstate commerce, and that this arbitration agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) set forth in Title 9 of the U.S. Code to the fullest extent possible, notwithstanding any state law to the contrary, regardless of the origin or nature of the Claims at issue. The arbitrator must follow, to the extent applicable: (1) the substantive law of the state in which we entered into the transaction giving rise to this arbitration agreement; (2) the applicable statutes of limitations; and (3) claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator will not be bound by federal, state or local rules of procedure and evidence or by state or local laws concerning arbitration proceedings.
If either you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Either you or we may elect to resolve a particular Claim through arbitration, even if the other party has already initiated litigation in court related to the Claim, by: (a) making written demand for arbitration upon the other party, (b) initiating arbitration against the other party, or (c) filing a motion to compel arbitration in court.
If this is a consumer-purpose transaction, the applicable rules will be the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. The applicable AAA rules and other information about arbitrating a claim under AAA, including how to submit a dispute to arbitration, may be obtained by visiting its website at https://www.adr.org/ or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If AAA will not serve as the administrator of the arbitration, and you and we cannot then agree upon a substitute arbitrator, you and we shall request that a court with proper jurisdiction appoint an arbitrator. However, we will abide by the applicable AAA rules regardless of the forum. Arbitration shall be conducted in the county and state where you accepted these Terms, you reside, or another reasonably convenient place to you as determined by the arbitrator, unless applicable laws require another location. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except as provided in applicable statutes, the arbitrator’s award is not subject to review by the court and it cannot be appealed. The parties will have the option to request and receive a statement of reasons for the arbitration award.
If you elect to file the arbitration, and this is a consumer-purpose transaction, you will pay the filing fee to the extent required by AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules but not to exceed the cost of filing a lawsuit. Any amount above what it would cost you to file a lawsuit, we will pay. All other arbitration fees and expenses shall be allocated to us according to AAA rules. Except for the arbitration fees and expenses, each party shall pay its own costs and fees incurred (including attorneys’ fees), unless the arbitrator allocates them differently in accordance with applicable law. This paragraph applies only if this is a consumer-purpose transaction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, and except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, the agreement to arbitration may be amended by us only upon advance notice to you. If we make any amendment to this agreement to arbitration (other than renumbering the agreement to align with any other amendment to the Terms) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding or action against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other Claims governed by this agreement to arbitration that have arisen or may arise between you and us. However, we may amend this agreement to arbitration and not provide you notice; in that case, the amendments will not apply to you and the agreement to arbitration contained in these Terms to which you agreed will continue to apply to you and us as if no amendments were made.
If any part of this arbitration provision is invalid, all other parts of it remain valid. However, if the class action limitation is invalid, then this arbitration provision is invalid in its entirety, provided that the remaining Terms shall remain in full force and effect. This arbitration provision will survive the termination of your use of the Site, the Services, and any other actions with us.
You may reject this arbitration provision within thirty (30) days of accepting the Terms by emailing us at support@cebroker.com and including in the subject line “Rejection of Arbitration Provision.”
30. General
Merger. These Terms (which hereby incorporate by reference any other provisions applicable to use of the Site, including any expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages within this Site) constitute the entire agreement between you and us and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between you and us with respect to the Site and information, software, products and Services associated with it.
Severability. If any term or provision in these Terms is found to be void, against public policy, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and such finding or order becomes final with all appeals exhausted, then the offending provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, then the same shall be deemed stricken from these Terms in its entirety and the remainder of these Terms shall survive with the said offending provision eliminated.
Governing Law and Venue. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. Except as set forth in the agreement to arbitration and without waiving it, you agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms (including but not limited to if you opt out of the agreement to arbitration) shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts of Jacksonville, Florida, except where the jurisdiction and venue are mandated by applicable assignment.
Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without our prior written consent. We may freely assign our obligations and rights under these Terms, including all personal information in our possession that we have collected during your use of the Site as further described in our Privacy Policy.
No Waiver. No failure, omission or delay on the part of us in exercising any right under these Terms will preclude any other further exercise of that right or other right under these Terms.
