BNDR will provide the Customer with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any such changes. If the Customer does not agree to the revised Integrated Service Fees, it may elect to discontinue the affected integrated services or terminate the Agreement by giving written notice within 14 days of receiving notice of the increase, with such termination to take effect at the end of the 30-day notice period. If the Customer does not provide notice of discontinuation or termination, the revised Integrated Service Fees will take effect at the end of the 30-day notice period. Failure to notify BNDRY of discontinuation or termination within the notice period will be taken as acceptance of the revised Integrated Service Fees.
