If the failure or delay continues for more than 30 days, either Party may, in its discretion, terminate this Agreement. Such termination will not result in any liability by either Party, except that, if Customer terminates the Agreement for Facilisgroup’s failure, Facilisgroup shall refund Customer a pro rata amount of any prepaid fees applicable to the unused portion of the Monthly Management Fee measured from the last date on which Customer was able to access the “Signature Collection” website and/or the Facilisgroup software.

MODIFICATION:
