An End User may not be able to disassociate his or her Unsolved Idea Community account from the organization.

Customer is responsible for: (i) maintaining the confidentiality of passwords and Administrator accounts; (ii) managing access to Administrator accounts; and (iii) ensuring that Administrator use of the Services complies with this Agreement.

11. Support. Customer will, at its own expense, respond to questions and complaints from End Users or third parties relating to use of the Services. Customer will use reasonable efforts to resolve support issues before escalating them to Unsolved.

If an End User (i) violates this Agreement or the Unsolved Terms of Service; (ii) uses the Services in a manner resulting in excessive support requests; or (iii) uses the Services in a manner that Unsolved reasonably believes will cause it liability, then Unsolved may request that Customer suspend or terminate the applicable End User account. If Customer fails to promptly suspend or terminate the End User account, then Unsolved may do so.
13. Security Emergencies. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, if there is a Security Emergency then Unsolved may automatically suspend use of the Services.

This includes product features visible to Customer or End User, for example, image thumbnails or document previews.
