In such event, Provider will charge Customer the prorated Fees through the end of the then-current Services Term. Additional statements of work will be incorporated into this Agreement and will be bound by the same terms and conditions. 

(g) Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Provider may temporarily suspend Customer's and any Authorized User's access to any portion or all of the Services if:

Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to Customer and to provide updates regarding resumption of access to the Services following any Service Suspension. Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. Provider will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Customer or any Authorized User may incur as a result of a Service Suspension.

Customer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Provider. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. For purposes of this Section, and without limiting its generality, any amalgamation, arrangement, or reorganization involving Customer will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement for which Provider's prior written consent is required. No assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(j) Third party Beneficiaries. The parties do not confer any legal, equitable or other rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(k) Independent Contractor. Provider will perform the Services as an independent contractor and will not act, hold itself out as, or be an agent of Customer. Provider personnel are not, and will not be construed as, Customer’s employees and will not be entitled to any benefits offered by Customer to employees. Provider is responsible for complying with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to its employees and personnel including, but not limited to, those related to immigration, taxation and workers’ compensation.

(l) Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 6 or, in the case of Customer, Section 3(d), would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
