4. Monitoring and Enforcement Deloitte is not responsible for any material or information, other than that provided by Deloitte, created, stored, maintained, transmitted, or accessible on or through the Services.

Deloitte may report any activity that it suspects violates Laws to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other appropriate third parties. This reporting may include disclosing appropriate User information. Deloitte may also cooperate with law enforcement agencies, regulators, or other third parties to assist with the investigation and prosecution of illegal conduct by providing network and systems information related to alleged violations of this AUP. Nothing in this AUP shall limit in any way Deloitte's rights and remedies at law or in equity that may otherwise be available.

5. Modifications to the AUP Deloitte may, in its sole discretion, modify this AUP from time to time. Deloitte will post notice of such changes on www.ElectrifiedGrid.com/be/aup. If a User objects to any changes, the User’s sole recourse is to cease using the Services. Continued use of the Services following notice of any changes indicates the User’s acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of the modified AUP.
