In respect of the Cloud Service, if we believe that there is a violation of the Subscriber Terms, these User Term, or any of our other policies, we will, in most cases, ask Subscriber to take action. We may directly step in and take what we determine to be appropriate action (including disabling your account) if Subscriber does not take appropriate action or we believe there is a credible risk of harm to us, the Cloud Service or any third parties.
