5. Should an Organisation wish to remove access to Content in an Organisation Portal, or Content that has been attached to an email by means of the “attachment” feature, and is accessed via third parties by means of a URL hosted within an Organisation Portal, this request can be made in writing to Skool Loop Apps.
6. For the avoidance of doubt, deactivation of an Organisation or Organisation Portal does not waive any financial or other contractual obligations the Organisation may have to Skool Loop Apps.
