If within ten (10) calendar days of the date of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations under the Agreement, then we may delete your account and/or terminate the other service(s) you are using without further notice.

14. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
