    • Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Hatfield may temporarily suspend Customer’s and any Authorized User’s access to any portion or all of EnviroData if: (i) Hatfield reasonably determines that (A) there is a threat or attack on any of the Hatfield IP, (B) Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Hatfield IP disrupts or poses a security risk to the Hatfield IP or to any other customer or vendor of Hatfield, (C) Customer, or any Authorized User, is using the Hatfield IP for fraudulent or illegal activities, (D) subject to applicable Law, Customer has ceased to continue its business in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding (a “EnviroData Suspension”). Hatfield shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any EnviroData Suspension to Customer and to provide updates regarding resumption of access to EnviroData following any EnviroData Suspension.
