What if we terminate the agreement in the middle of one of our postings, what happens with the Challenge and potential award?

Once posted, all Challenges must stay on the web site to their stated deadline. The Seeker would still be responsible for the payment of any awards or success fees that would be owed. This is important as our Solvers begin working on Challenges as soon as they are posted. Pulling a Challenge in the middle of a post period would be viewed very negatively by those Solvers who had been working hard on the Challenge to solve it and would prevent the Seeker from actually finding a solution from someone working on said Challenge. Of course, in the rare situation that a major discovery or some other event makes the subject of the Challenge moot, we will certainly accommodate.
