Violations of these Terms of Use, including Unauthorized Use of the Site, may be investigated and appropriate legal action may be taken, including without limitation civil, criminal and injunctive redress. You understand and agree that in FEC's sole discretion, and without prior notice, FEC may terminate and block your access to the Site or to FEC's other services, cancel your workshop seat order and refuse to honor pending and future workshop seat purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts FEC believes may be associated with you, cancel a workshop seat or workshop seat order associated with any person acting or believed to be acting in concert with you, cancel your workshop postings, remove any unauthorized User Content or exercise any other remedy available, if FEC believes that your conduct or the conduct of any person with whom FEC believes you act in concert, or the User Content you provide violates or is inconsistent with these Terms or the law, or violates the rights of FEC, a client of FEC or another user of the Site.

You agree that Abusive Use of the Site, as defined above, causes damage and harm to FEC in the form of, among other things, impaired goodwill, lost sales, and increased expenses associated with responding to Abusive Use of the Site.
