    1. access to, or any use of the YouTube API Services by you, those acting on your behalf, your API Client(s), or any of your users;

  23. Non-assert. To the extent permitted by applicable law, during the Agreement, and for three (3) years after any termination or expiration of the Agreement by you or YouTube, you agree not to assert, or authorise, assist or encourage any third party to assert, any patent infringement claim against YouTube, its Affiliates, or any related parties, to the extent such claims relate to any of the YouTube API Services that you or your API Client(s) accessed or used. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should YouTube or Google Inc. first file a patent infringement claim in a lawsuit against you (excluding a patent infringement claim brought by YouTube or Google Inc. in response to a lawsuit, for example, as a cross-claim or counterclaim), then the non-assert provision in the first sentence of this Section will be suspended only for the duration of YouTube’s or Google Inc’s first patent infringement claim against you (for example, until such patent infringement claim is settled, withdrawn, dismissed, or otherwise disposed of).

  24. Termination.

    24.1 Termination by You. You may terminate your legal agreement with YouTube by terminating your access to and use of the YouTube API Services (including discontinuing access to and use by your API Client(s) and those acting on your behalf) at any time.

For example, we may need to exercise such rights in instances of your breach of this Agreement, court order, when we believe there to have been misconduct or conduct which may create potential liability for YouTube or its Affiliates. Although we will try to give you reasonable notice, we have no obligation to do so.

    24.3 Effect of Termination.
