Failure to agree and adhere to all of the terms, conditions, and obligations contained herein results in the express prohibition of the Client’s use of the Website, and the Client is ordered to discontinue use immediately. Thereafter, the relationship between Client and Maassive shall cease and be of no further force and effect between the parties, except that any obligation of Client to pay Maassive for services rendered shall remain and continue to be an ongoing obligation owed by Client to Maassive. All Services and Deliverables supplied by Maassive are subject to these Terms of Service. Receipt of payment for services constitutes acceptance based on these Terms of Service. Where more than one Client has entered into the Agreement, the Clients shall be jointly and severally liable for all payments of the Fees and performance of all obligations under the Agreement.

Should the Client request a refund during the first month of use, all materials produced by Maassive are the company's ownership and are prohibited from being used by the Client in any way. If a refund is deemed appropriate, a 25% fee will be assigned to the remaining billable period. Maassive reserves the right to take appropriate legal actions against the Client for breach of this paragraph.
