4.1 Term of Agreement. These Terms of Use shall have a perpetual term unless and until your access to the Site has been terminated in accordance with this Section 4.
4.2 Early Termination. Your access to the Site and any Linked Site may be terminated by you, BROKER-DEALER or Zanbato: (i) upon notice, in the event of any action, application or proceeding taken in respect of the bankruptcy or insolvency of you, BROKER-DEALER or Zanbato, (ii) upon notice, in the event you, BROKER-DEALER or Zanbato has materially breached any provision of these Terms of Use and has failed to cure such breach within five (5) days after written notice of such breach; or (iii) with or without cause, upon ten (10) days' prior notice to you or BROKER-DEALER and Zanbato, as the case may be, for any reason and without any liability to the other Party (except as provided in Section 4.4).
4.3 Additional Termination Rights of Zanbato. In addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, Zanbato shall have the right to terminate your access to the Site by notice to you: (i) upon the occurrence of any event which would prevent Zanbato from providing the Site to authorized users generally, including, without limitation, any loss or potential loss of regulatory authorization or license by ZS, any change in applicable law affecting the Site or interpretation by any regulatory authority, or any determination by Zanbato to cease providing the Site; (ii) if Zanbato determines, in its sole discretion, that the you or any of your officers, directors, employees or agents (including any Authorized Customer Delegee) may have violated these Terms of Use, the Rulebook or any applicable law in connection with their use of the Site or any Linked Site; or (iii) if Zanbato determines, in its sole discretion, that the security or normal operation of any part of the Site has been compromised and cannot be promptly cured. In the event that Zanbato exercises its rights to terminate this Agreement under this Section 4.3, it shall do so without any liability to you as a result of such termination.
4.4 Effect of Termination. Termination of your access to the Site shall not terminate or otherwise modify your obligations with respect to any liability or matter arising, or if you a customer of BROKER-DEALER, of any obligation for a transaction executed on your behalf on the ATS prior to such termination.

For the avoidance of doubt, although the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall only apply during the period you are authorized to access the Site (as set forth therein), termination of your access shall not terminate or otherwise modify BROKER-DEALER'S or Zanbato's rights under these Terms of Use to seek damages or other remedies for breaches of such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in Section 5 during the period of your access to the Site. Upon termination of your access to the Site, you shall immediately cease all use of the Site.

7.1 Bids, Offers and Firm Orders. "Bids" and “Offers" on the Site represent non-binding indications of interest submitted by Zanbato, BROKER-DEALER or one of their respective authorized registered representatives on behalf of their clients (unless such bids/offers are noted as “firm”). A “firm” bid or offer (each, a “Firm Order”) obligates the customer of Zanbato or BROKER-DEALER submitting the Firm Order to pay commissions or banking fees on introduction of a counter-party accepting the terms of their Firm Order, meaning these orders represent a higher level of commitment to transact. Bid and Offers may be for any class of equity security of an issuer and may be for blocks of shares held, exercizable, or held or to be held in special purpose vehicles. Rights of holders of the securities will vary, and transactions may be subject to transfer restrictions, including a right of first refusal by the issuer or others. Some issuers may restrict transfers in their securities to certain classes of investor. Specific information on a given ticket is available from Zanbato market operators through its Z-Chat function.
7.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, and as applicable, the Zanbato ATS Rulebook, the Authorized Registered Representative User Agreement, Subscriber Agreement as well as any definitive written agreement executed by the parties constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior discussions, agreements, and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of these Terms of Use.
7.3 Changes. BROKER-DEALER and Zanbato may change the terms of these Terms of Use at any time. The most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use will be available on the Site. You agree that your continued use of the Site will constitute acceptance of any new or modified version of these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any such amendment, your sole remedy will be to terminate your access to the Site in accordance with Section 4.
7.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of these Terms of Use is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of these Terms of Use will nevertheless remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party and such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in such jurisdiction will not have any effect in any other jurisdiction.
7.5 Governing Law and Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. The parties shall attempt to resolve any disputes under this Agreement in an amicable manner by mediation before a single mediator administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or Judicial Arbitration & Mediation ("JAMS"), under their respective applicable commercial mediation rules, before resorting to arbitration. Thereafter, any unresolved dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by binding and non-appealable arbitration administered by the AAA or JAMS under their respective Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties in the state or federal courts located in New York and the parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue of these courts.
