subscription or in the event of any delinquency in payment of User's

LD Internet Inc may immediately terminate any User account,

(whether for commercial purposes, private purposes or otherwise).
Furthermore, User accounts may not be used as a "dropbox"
or repository for responses to an unsolicited advertisement (including,
but not limited to, inquiries, complaints, unsubscribe replies or
bounced messages). In addition, because damages are often difficult
to quantify, if actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated then
User agrees to pay LD Internet Inc liquidated damages of $5 for each
piece of spam or unsolicited bulk email transmitted from or otherwise
connected with User's account, otherwise User agrees to pay LD Internet
Inc's actual damages, to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably
calculated. Full payment of fines will not prevent LD Internet Inc
from terminating the offending account or seeking to obtain other
legal remedies against the responsible subscriber, including an injunction
and/or other damages.
