20. Lapsed Accounts: In order to keep Atlantic Accents membership roster current, if a Member does not access his or her account for a period of one year or more, Atlantic Accents may, in its sole discretion, terminate such Member's account. Atlantic Accents will endeavor to notify a Member of Atlantic Accents intent to terminate such Member's account by notice to such Member's provided email address at least 30 days prior to deactivation. If the Member fails to respond to such email notice within 30 days after the day it is sent by Atlantic Accents, such Member's account will be terminated as noted above. Therefore, Atlantic Accents strongly recommends that all Members keep their accounts and contact data current and in use. While Atlantic Accents desires to prevent active accounts from being terminated prematurely, Atlantic Accents has no obligation to maintain accounts that appear to Atlantic Accents to have been abandoned. Each Member agrees that failure to access his or her account for 365 days or more conclusively indicates that such Member's account has been abandoned and that the account may therefore be terminated.
21. Verify Members' Address: Atlantic Accents reserves the right to contact a Member via email to verify the accuracy of account information (including the Member's correct name and address) that is needed to provide the Member with the information he or she requested from Atlantic Accents.
