If you stop using your mobile telephone number without notifying us of such change, you will be responsible for all costs (including attorneys’ fees) and liabilities incurred by L’AVANT, or any party that assists in the delivery of the mobile messages, as a result of claims brought by any individual who is later assigned that mobile telephone number.​ This duty to notify  will survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.
