terminate this Agreement if the Services are prohibited by applicable law, or
become impractical or unfeasible for any technical, legal or regulatory reason,
by giving Customer as much prior notice as reasonably practicable. c. Illusions

if: (i) Illusions Marketing and Design Inc. determines in good faith that
Customer's use of the Customer Web site or the Customer Content violates the
Acceptable Use Policy; (ii) Customer breaches any material term or provision of
this Agreement (other than a breach described in Section 3(c)(iii)) and if

of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement
for any cause or reason whatsoever, and, notwithstanding the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, the parties shall each remain liable to the other
for any indebtedness or other liability theretofore arising under this
Agreement. Termination of this Agreement and retention of pre-paid fees and
charges shall be in addition to, and not be in lieu of, any other legal or
equitable rights or remedies to which Illusions Marketing and Design Inc. may be
entitled. f. Should Customer or Illusions Marketing and Design Inc. terminate
the Services prior to the expiration of the Term, Customer will pay the
Termination Charge to Illusions Marketing and Design Inc. unless (i) Illusions
Marketing and Design Inc. terminated the Order under Section 3(b). The parties
agree that the Termination Charge constitutes consideration for Illusions

the capacity to perform its obligations hereunder, as actual damages are
difficult to ascertain. If Illusions Marketing and Design Inc. terminates the
Order under Sections 3(b) or 12(c), Illusions Marketing and Design Inc. shall
return to Customer, and Customer shall accept, as Customer's sole and exclusive
remedy for Illusions Marketing and Design Inc. breach of the Order, any Service
