   2. We do not tolerate Illegal or Harmful Content uploaded through the Platform. We will process and investigate notices of alleged Illegal or Harmful Content, and take appropriate actions, as required under any applicable law. 
   3. If you believe any User Content posted on or through the Platform is Illegal or Harmful Content or violates this Policy, you should notify us by emailing us at legal@awardco.com.

   5. We may terminate, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat uploaders of Illegal or Harmful Content, or who frequently submit notices or complaints about Illegal or Harmful Content that are manifestly unfounded. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Platform and/or terminate the accounts of users who upload Illegal or Harmful Content or violate this Policy. We may use automated means of reviewing User Content, in addition to human review. 
   6. Any suspected Illegal or Harmful Content may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. 
   7. If we decide that User Content is Illegal or Harmful Content or otherwise breaches this Policy or any Contract, we may: (1) remove, disable or restrict the visibility of the User Content; (2) suspend or terminate your Account (or any part of it) and/or access to or use of the Platform; (3) block you from future access to the Platform, or take any other actions to restrict User Content or access to and use of the Platform.

Where required by applicable law, we will advise you if we take any of the above actions, and we will provide you with a statement of reasons.  If you disagree with our decision, you can contact us at legal@awardco.com, and we will consider your notification in accordance with our internal policies and procedures. 
   9. If we remove, take down or restrict the visibility of any User Content, or suspend or ban you from using the Platform in breach of the Contract, then you can bring a claim against us for breach of contract.
