10) SUSPENSION OF ACCESS TO THE APP AND SERVICES; TERMINATION; CANCELLATION
BRIEF may need to temporarily suspend access to the App and/or all or some of the Services at any time to make improvements, maintenance, or for other service management reasons. Where possible, adequate notice will be provided and every reasonable effort will be made to limit the duration of such events and the unavailability of all or part of the App and Services.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, and without prejudice to any further remedy available under applicable law in the interest of BRIEF, its principals and successors in interest, and any Partners, BRIEF reserves the right to immediately terminate, in whole or in part, its contractual relationship with You (by, e.g., removal restriction or deletion of the Account and/or termination of User's access to and use of the App) and/or any part thereof at any time, in the event of a violation of the provisions of the paragraph "UNCONSTITUTIONAL USES" of these T&Cs and/or in the event of violations of these T&Cs that by their nature are not susceptible of remedy; BRIEF's determinations in this regard shall be communicated to the User by specific notice (unless the transmission of such notice would prejudice or prevent the exercise of other remedies under applicable law).
Without prejudice to the preceding paragraph, if User has engaged in conduct in violation of these T&Cs that is by its nature susceptible to remedy, BRIEF reserves the right, in its sole and unquestionable discretion, to grant User, upon notice, a reasonable period of time (not less than 15 days, unless a shorter period is required for demonstrated urgency) to engage in conduct designed to remedy the violation of the T&Cs; if within the period granted the User fails to remedy its obligations, BRIEF will proceed with the termination of the existing relationship with the User (with interruption of the 'access / use of the App by the User), without prejudice to any further remedy available under applicable law in the interest of BRIEF and its parents and assigns.
BRIEF reserves the right to terminate (in whole or in part) the existing contractual relationship with the User, as governed by these T&Cs, for any reason whatsoever and at its sole and unquestionable discretion, subject to appropriate prior notice (which in any event shall not be less than 30 (thirty) days).

The User may withdraw from these T&Cs with immediate effect by uninstalling the App. In any case, the rights and obligations assumed by the User towards BRIEF, its principals and users and any Partners prior to the effectiveness of the withdrawal are not affected.
It is in any case understood that the subsequent download and access to the App with the credentials already communicated (without prejudice to the exercise of the rights due to the interested parties in terms of the processing of personal data) will result in the establishment of a new contractual relationship, governed by the T&Cs in force at the time of further download and access to the App.
(11) FINAL DISPOSITION
These T&Cs do not affect any rights granted to the User under regulatory provisions that cannot be waived, excluded or limited under applicable law.
BRIEF reserves the right to transfer contractual relationships with Users (and their related rights and obligations) under the T&Cs to third parties, possible assignees of the App.
In the event, Users will be made aware of this circumstance; BRIEF and/or any third party assignees of the App will make every reasonable effort to ensure that Users' rights under the T&Cs remain unaffected.
On the other hand, it will not be possible for Users to transfer their contractual relationship with BRIEF (and consequently their rights or obligations) under the T&Cs, except with BRIEF's prior express written consent to the transfer.
Failure to immediately exercise (or delay in exercising) any rights granted to BRIEF and its licensors and assigns under these T&Cs and/or applicable law shall not imply acquiescence and/or waiver of such rights (within the statute of limitations and possible forfeiture periods, as governed by applicable law): therefore, BRIEF and its licensors and assigns reserve the right to exercise even deferred exercise of such rights (to the extent and within the terms permitted by applicable law).
If any provision, or part thereof, of these T&Cs is held unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, such provision, or the affected part of such provision, shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.These T&Cs are governed by Italian law.
Any dispute relating to the performance and/or interpretation of these T&Cs (and, more generally, to the performance and/or interpretation of the contractual relationship between the User and BRIEF for the mere purposes of access to and use of the App), shall be deferred to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the place where the User resides or is domiciled.
12) CHANGES AND UPDATES TO THESE T&C
Any changes to these T&Cs that make limitations, restrictions, or otherwise material changes to the rights and/or obligations of the User and/or to the contractual relationship between BRIEF and the User by means of these T&Cs, will be communicated to Users by appropriate means (e.g., email communications, where possible, and notifications via the App) and with appropriate notice with respect to the effective date of the changes.
Within the notice period, Users will be entitled to withdraw from the T&Cs by simply uninstalling the App from all of their devices. On the effective date of the changes to the T&Cs, the App will no longer be accessible to the terminating User.
BRIEF reserves the right to make modifications and updates to these T&Cs without prior notice to Users, where the modifications and updates made are of a non-substantial nature and in any case do not affect - directly or indirectly - the rights and obligations of the User and in general the relationship established between the User and BRIEF by means of these T&Cs (by way of example and not limited to, in the event that the T&Cs are modified in adaptation to additional Services from time to time made available at the App).
