The EULA will be identified as of the most recent date of revision at the beginning of this EULA and will be effective immediately upon being made available to you, except in the event any such modification materially alters your rights hereunder, you will be asked to review the amended EULA when you log into your Account, and to indicate and confirm your acceptance of the amended EULA by clicking the "ACCEPT” button.

Availability; Changes
We employ reasonable measures to try to provide you with access to the Site and Systems 24/7.

We will take reasonable steps when possible to minimize such disruption. From time to time, and without notice to you, IRIS Connect may add or delete certain features or functions from the Site and/or the System. IRIS Connect reserves the right to suspend or discontinue (temporarily or permanently), the Site, the System or any portion thereof. You agree that IRIS Connect shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Site, System, or any features or functions thereof.
