5. Monitoring and Enforcement

5.1 Enforcement Actions

If Zuben determines, in its reasonable judgment, that a violation of this AUP has occurred, Zuben may, without limitation and without prior notice:

1. remove or disable access to content that violates this AUP;
2. suspend or terminate the account of the violating Subscriber or Authorized User;
3. report the violation to applicable law enforcement or regulatory authorities; and
4. pursue any available legal remedies.
