If multiple products or modules are used, contracts may be co-terminated to align renewal dates for administrative ease (industry best practice).
The agreement may be terminated for material breach, violation of applicable laws, or conduct that impacts the platform, security, or user community (e.g., non-payment, misuse, prohibited activities).
Supply'd reserves the right to suspend or terminate user accounts or services for security risks, reputational harm, or misuse, with specifics detailed in the Terms of Service.
Upon termination, users lose account and platform access, and may be required to address outstanding legal or financial obligations.
