Claims of Copyright Infringement. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (as amended, the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by SMI infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. If you believe in good faith that SMI has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter- notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see 17 U.S.C 512 for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to SMI, 690 Rowntree Diary Rd., Suite 201, Woodbridge, Ontario, L4L 5T7, Phone: 905-856-1173, Fax: 905-856-1571, Email: info@suitelifevacation.com.

Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that a violation or attempted violation of any of these Terms and Conditions will cause such damage to SMI and will be irreparable, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, you agree that SMI shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of these Terms of Use by you, or your affiliates, partners, or agents, as well as recover from you any and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by SMI in obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees. You agree that no bond or other security shall be required in connection with such injunction.
Termination. SMI may terminate the provision of any of the services at any time for any reason, including any improper use of this Site or your failure to comply with these Terms of Use.

Upon such termination, all rights granted to you will terminate and revert to SMI and its third party providers or distributors, as applicable.
Assignment. You may not assign, convey, subcontract or delegate your rights, duties or obligations hereunder.

Severability. The terms and conditions of the Terms of Use shall be deemed severable.
