If GABRIEL receives more than one such notice for the same customer, GABRIEL reserves the right to immediately terminate such customer’s subscriptions to the External-Facing Service as deemed necessary by Salesforce to ensure continued protection under the safe harbor provisions under the DMCA or to prevent violations of other applicable laws or third parties’ rights.
