Shutdown

The Association reserves the right to, at its sole discretion, shut down the Interface without any obligation to indemnify any user to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Association may notably proceed to a shutdown in the following cases:

• upon occurrence of any force majeure event, and

• if any law, regulation, rule, or decision of any self-regulatory organization, or ordinance, whether domestic or international, becomes effective which substantially alters the Association’s ability to offer the Interface.

The Interface is one of the many ways to interact with the Protocol. Other interfaces may exist and anyone is free to interact with the Protocol directly, without the intermission of the Interface or any other application.
