Except for the non-exclusive license granted pursuant to this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that all ownership, license, intellectual property and other rights and interests in and to the Service shall remain solely with BlueDrive.
(8) Authorized Users who configure the Service to share or make available certain Content to the public, are deemed to acknowledge and agree that everyone will have access to the Content (“Public Content”). BlueDrive reserves the right, at any time, in its sole discretion to take any action deemed necessary with respect to Public Content that violates these Terms of Service, including, but not limited to, removal of such Public Content.
(9) BlueDrive reserves the right, at any time, if your bandwidth usage exceeds 5 gigabytes per month (5Gb/month), or significantly exceeds the average bandwidth usage of other Authorized Users (as determined solely by BlueDrive), to immediately disable your subscription or throttle your file hosting until you can reduce your bandwidth consumption.
(10) BlueDrive reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any feature associated with the Service, with or without notice. Continued use of the Service following any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modification.

(3) Each Subscriber shall designate an Authorized User as administrator for the Subscriber’s subscription (“Administrator”). Each Subscriber may have multiple Authorized Users, and the Administrator will manage the list of active Authorized Users associated with the subscription. The Administrator will deactivate an active Username if the Administrator wishes to terminate access to the Service for any particular user.
(4) Subscribers are responsible for all use of the Service by Authorized Users on the list of active Authorized Users associated with their subscription to the Service.

(b) BlueDrive shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if BlueDrive has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from any use of an API or third-party products that access and use the Service via an API;
(c) Excessive use of the Service using an API may result in temporary or permanent suspension of access to the Service via an API.
