Accounts may be suspended when account fees are unpaid, maximum storage limits are reached, or when there is inappropriate use of the account. Before suspension, account users receive multiple email warnings to give them ample time to remedy the problem and avoid the suspension.
When an account is suspended, account users can still use Mindjet Catalyst to contact the Mindjet Catalyst servers, but all workspace content is read-only. No content is removed from the server for suspended accounts.
Suspended accounts are subject to a "grace period" and account users receive regular email reminders during this time. If the account is not re-activated when this period expires, it is disabled .
When an account is disabled account users cannot use Mindjet Catalyst to contact the Mindjet Catalyst servers. Instead they will receive a message that the account is disabled. Account users receive regular email reminders for disabled accounts during a second "grace period" allowing them ample time to re-activate the account. If the disabled account is not reactivated when this period expires, it is removed from the server and its content is no longer accessible.
