For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Licensors/Suppliers" includes third parties that place, display, or distribute their advertising, promotional, or sponsorship Content on the Slim Animation Sites.

"Slim Animation Content" means any and all Content (excluding User Materials) made available on the Slim Animation Sites and/or through the Slim Animation Services.

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for as long as you use any of the Slim Animation Sites or Slim Animation Services, whether as a Visitor or a Registered Member ("Term"). You may terminate your account at any time, for any reason by following the instructions available here. Slim Animation may terminate your account at any time, for any reason, effective immediately upon sending notice to you at the email address you provided during the account set-up process, or such other email address as you may subsequently provide to Slim Animation. After your account is terminated, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, provided, however, that the User Materials submitted by you may no longer be accessible on the Slim Animation Sites once your account has been cancelled.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that once your User Materials are integrated into a Slim Animation production (e.g., videos integrated within an animation, promotion, video, or any Slim Animation production, regardless of media format), all of the licenses for such materials, as granted in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, shall extend in perpetuity, meaning that Slim Animation will have the perpetual right throughout the world to exploit such Slim Animation production embodying your User Materials in any and all media now known or hereafter devised.
