We reserve the right to suspend access without notice, either temporarily or permanently, to all or part of the sites. We will not be held liable for any such suspension.
Furthermore BeatNG reserves the right to amend any part of the Websites (including but not limited to content and materials submitted by Members of Users) at any time.
