Additional Features can be deactivated any time throughout the term of the annual subscription. You can still access that Additional Feature and can invite other users to utilize that feature for the remainder of your subscription contract Term.
Deactivating an additional Feature does not change your Seat License Fee and Payment Obligation. The Seat License and Payment Obligation will remain until the end of your contract term. You will not be issued a refund (for annual payment terms) or have your monthly fee obligation lowered (for monthly payment terms) even if that feature is not utilized.
At the end of your subscription term you can change the number of licensed Seats by providing written notice not less than thirty (30) days prior to your contract renewal date.

Equitable Relief
Each party acknowledges that a breach by the other party of any confidentiality or proprietary rights provision of this Terms of Service may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, and notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, the non-breaching party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and a party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity.
