14. Force Majeure. Neither Party will be deemed to be in default under this Agreement because of the failure to perform any obligation hereunder if such failure is caused by fire, embargo, strike, war, acts of God, or other cause beyond such Party's reasonable control (whether or not similar to the foregoing).
15. Advertiser Information: Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that if Patient Guide Solutions identifies any Required Content that is inaccurate or contains errors (e.g., the incorrect spelling of a city name or a wrong zip code), or non-compliance with a publisher's formatting guidelines (e.g., use of unsupported special characters), Patient Guide Solutions may, in its sole discretion, in addition to its other available rights and remedies, modify the Required Content. Advertiser acknowledges that various Services involve the provision of Required Content to publishers for use and publication, and that such publishers may require the license grant described herein.

Patient Guide Solutions does not allow for an early cancellation of any agreement.
18. Discontinuation of Services: It is the Advertiser's full responsibility to store the information provided by Patient Guide Solutions as of the termination of the Agreement.
