You may procure additional Services during the Term by entering additional Orders with Metriport. Other than as expressly granted in this Agreement, no other rights or licenses to Metriport Materials (defined below) are granted. If you do not comply with the terms of this Agreement, Metriport reserves the right to revoke, suspend, or limit your right to access to the Service. Any use of the Service that exceeds the rights expressly granted in this Agreement is strictly prohibited and constitutes a violation of this Agreement, which may result in the suspension or termination of your right to access and use the Service.
2.2 Modification. You agree that Metriport has the right to change, modify, add to, or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Service at any time without any obligation to give you advance notice of any changes; provided, however, Metriport will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure it does not materially degrade or diminish the features or functionality of the Service. From time to time, Metriport may release upgrades, fixes, or new versions of the Service, although these upgrades may not be consistent across all platforms and devices.
