2.2 The Customer is prohibited from using the Services to provide any service to any third party.
2.3 The Customer undertakes that it will (a) ensure adherence of all Authorised Users to the Agreement and the Acceptable Use Policy and that the Authorised Users will only use the Services and Documentation in accordance with the Agreement, Documentation and any reasonable Trelica instructions; and (b) will not permit any unauthorised use of or access to the Services.
2.4 Trelica may suspend access to the Services without incurring any resulting obligation or Liability except to the extent set out in clause 2.6:
