23.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your Account or discontinue your use of the Services at any time by following the account closure procedures made available through the Services or by contacting Growwr Support.

Termination of your Account does not automatically:

• cancel outstanding Projects;
• extinguish payment obligations;
• release accrued fees;
• terminate agreements between Employers and Talent;
• eliminate tax obligations;
• remove legal responsibilities arising before termination; or
• require Growwr to immediately delete information where retention is permitted or required under Applicable Law.

23.2 Termination by Growwr

Growwr may suspend, restrict, or terminate your Account, access to the Services, or any portion of the Services immediately, with or without prior notice, where Growwr reasonably determines that:

• you have violated these Terms or any Growwr policy;
• you have violated Applicable Law;
• you have engaged in fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, or unlawful conduct;
• your Account presents security, fraud, compliance, or operational risks;
• required identity or business verification cannot be completed or maintained;
• you have provided false, inaccurate, or misleading information;
• you have materially breached contractual obligations relating to the Services;
• your continued use may expose Growwr, its users, or third parties to legal, financial, regulatory, reputational, or security risks;
• Growwr is required to do so by Applicable Law, court order, regulatory authority, or governmental agency;
• you remain inactive for an extended period where permitted by Applicable Law and Growwr’s policies; or
• Growwr discontinues all or part of the Services.

Growwr may determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether suspension or termination is appropriate based on the facts and circumstances of each case.

23.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination or closure of your Account:

• your right to access and use the Services immediately ceases, except where Growwr expressly permits limited access;
• licenses granted to you under these Terms terminate;
• Growwr may deactivate your Account and associated credentials;
• Growwr may revoke verification status, badges, API credentials, or access permissions;
• public profiles may be removed or disabled;
• pending Projects may be cancelled or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable agreements and Growwr policies; and
• Growwr may retain information as permitted or required under these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and Applicable Law.

Termination does not affect rights or obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of termination.

23.4 Outstanding Obligations

Termination of these Terms or your Account does not relieve either party of obligations that survive termination, including obligations relating to:

• payment of outstanding fees;
• completed or partially completed Projects;
• taxes;
• confidentiality;
• intellectual property;
• indemnification;
• dispute resolution;
• limitation of liability;
• compliance with Applicable Law; and
• any other obligations that, by their nature, are intended to survive termination.

23.5 Data Retention and Deletion

Following termination, Growwr may delete, anonymize, archive, or retain Account information and User Content in accordance with:

• the Privacy Policy;
• applicable data retention practices;
• legal preservation obligations;
• fraud prevention requirements;
• tax and accounting obligations;
• dispute resolution needs;
• security requirements; and
• Applicable Law.

Growwr is not obligated to immediately delete all information associated with your Account where continued retention is reasonably necessary or legally permitted.

23.6 Pending Payments and Payouts

Termination of your Account does not automatically entitle you to immediate payment or payout.

Growwr may:

• complete pending payment reviews;
• investigate fraud or chargebacks;
• resolve disputes;
• satisfy legal or regulatory obligations;
• offset outstanding amounts owed to Growwr; and
• delay or withhold payments or payouts where permitted under these Terms or Applicable Law.

Any undisputed funds that remain payable following completion of applicable reviews shall be processed in accordance with Growwr’s payment procedures.

23.7 Effect on Employer and Talent Relationships

Termination of your Growwr Account does not automatically terminate contractual, employment, consulting, freelance, or other legal relationships that may exist independently between Employers and Talent.

Growwr is not responsible for enforcing, modifying, or terminating agreements entered into directly between users unless Growwr is expressly a party to such agreement.

Users remain solely responsible for satisfying their contractual obligations to one another following termination of their Accounts.

23.8 Survival

Without limitation, the following provisions shall survive termination or expiration of these Terms to the extent applicable:

• Definitions;
• Intellectual Property;
• User Content and Portfolio;
• Feedback and Suggestions;
• Privacy and Data Protection;
• Payments, Fees, and Taxes;
• Confidentiality;
• Disclaimers;
• Limitation of Liability;
• Indemnification;
• Governing Law;
• Arbitration;
• Compliance with Applicable Law;
• any accrued rights or obligations; and
• any provision that by its nature is intended to survive termination.

23.9 No Liability for Termination

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Growwr shall not be liable for any loss, damage, business interruption, loss of profits, loss of opportunity, reputational harm, or other consequences arising from the suspension, restriction, or termination of your Account or access to the Services where such action is taken in accordance with these Terms or Applicable Law.

Nothing in this Section limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under Applicable Law.

23.10 Reservation of Rights

Termination is not Growwr’s exclusive remedy for a breach of these Terms.

Growwr reserves all rights and remedies available under these Terms, contract, equity, and Applicable Law, including the right to pursue damages, injunctive relief, specific performance, recovery of unpaid amounts, or any other legal or equitable remedy following termination.

Nothing in this Section obligates Growwr to continue providing the Services to any user, restore a terminated Account, or retain any particular data, functionality, or service after termination, except where required by Applicable Law.
