OK2Charge will attempt to contact Client prior to or contemporaneously with such suspension; provided, however, that OK2Charge's exercise of the suspension rights herein shall not be conditioned upon Client's receipt of any notification.

Client agrees that OK2Charge shall not be liable to Client, any of its Users, or any other third party if OK2Charge exercises its suspension rights as permitted by this Section 5.5. Upon determining that Client has ceased the unauthorized conduct leading to the temporary suspension to OK2Charge's reasonable satisfaction, OK2Charge shall reinstate Client's and their respective Users access and use of the Services.

Additionally, if there are repeated incidences of suspension, regardless of the same or different cause and even if the cause or conduct is ultimately cured or corrected, OK2Charge may , in its reasonable discretion, determine that such circumstances, taken together, constitute a material breach.
