ASMPT is entitled, at any time and without obligation to give reasons, to deny the User the right to access the password-protected area by blocking its User Data (as defined below), in particular if the User:

- uses false data for the purpose of registration;
- violates these Terms of Use or neglects its duty of care with regard to User Data;
- violates any applicable laws in the access to or use of the ASMPT Website; or
- did not use the ASMPT Website after a certain length of time.

The User must ensure that its e-mail address, as supplied to ASMPT, is an address at which the User can be contacted.
