Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy for an Interruption shall be an Interruption Credit. Customer will not be entitled to any Interruption Credits or other damages related to any delay in installing the Service.
12. Termination by G12. In the event that Customer is in breach of any terms of this Agreement, G12 may provide written or emailed notice to Customer of such a breach, upon receipt of which Customer shall have ten (10) days to cure such a breach.

Customer and G12 acknowledge and agree that (i) the Early Termination Charges are a fair and reasonable estimate of damages that would occur in the event that the Service is terminated prior to the end of the Service Term; (ii) actual damages incurred by G12 as a result of the early termination of the Service would be difficult to determine ; (iii) and the provisions regarding the Early Termination Charges in this paragraph are reasonable and appropriate measures of the damages for
    such early termination and not a penalty. Customer agrees to pay all such Early Termination Charges within 30 days of Customer’s notice of termination of Services immediately upon written receipt of G12’ last invoice to Customer (“Final Invoice”). All requests to terminate Services must be received, in writing to G12 thirty (30) days prior to the termination effective date. A minimum of thirty (30) days will always be billed to Customer from the date that the termination notice is submitted.
15. Bill Disputes. Customer’s billing disputes or request for adjustments, together with all supporting documentation, must be made in good faith, and must be received in writing by G12 within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice, or Customer’s right to raise such billing disputes is waived. Customer shall otherwise timely pay any undisputed amount. If G12 determines that a disputed charge was billed in error, G12 will issue a credit to reverse the amount that was incorrectly billed. If G12 determines that the disputed amount was billed correctly, G12 will inform Customer of such determination and provide Customer proof of correct billing. If Customer does not accept such proof as definitive, the dispute will be escalated for an officer review/resolution with G12 and Customer in accordance with this Agreement. In the event that the escalated dispute is resolved against Customer, or in the event that Customer accepts the foregoing proof as definitive (or if Customer fails to notify G12 within thirty (30) days that Customer does not accept proof as definitive), Customer shall pay the previously disputed amount within ten (10) days thereafter.
16. Resolution of Disputes. Except as otherwise provided herein, any disputes, controversy or claim (individually and collectively referred to hereinafter as a “Dispute”) arising under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. In the event of a dispute, and upon the written request of either Party, each of the Parties shall appoint, within five (5) business days after a Party’s receipt of such request, a designated representative who has authority to settle the Dispute and who is at the higher level of management than the persons with the direct responsibility for administration of the Agreement. The designated representatives shall meet as often as they reasonably deem necessary in order to discuss the Dispute and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve such Dispute. The specific format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives; however, all reasonable requests for relevant information made by one Party to the other shall be honored. If the Parties are unable to resolve issues related to the Dispute within thirty (30) days after a Party’s request is made for appointment of designated representatives as set forth above, either Party may seek any relief to which it is entitled, whether at law or in equity.
17. Upgrades and Downgrades. An “Upgrade” is defined as a change to Customer’s existing Services, agreed to by G12, that will result in the increase in Customer’s Monthly Recurring Charges and/or Non-Recurring Charges.

However, Customer will be required to purchase the Upgrade for a term commitment that extends at least to the end of Customer’s existing Service Term. A “Downgrade” is defined as a change to Customers’ existing Services or partial disconnect, agreed to by G12, that results in a decrease in Customers Monthly Recurring Charges. If Customer Downgrades the Services before the end of the Service Term, and the Downgrade results in more than a fifteen percent (15%) decrease in the Monthly Recurring Charges on the Services for which a Downgrade occurred, G12, in its sole discretion, may charge Customer Early Termination Charges. Customer shall provide G12 with thirty (30) days prior written request for all Downgrades and G12 may, in its sole discretion agree to or deny such request. Any Downgrade of a Service must have a Term that extends at least to the end of Customer’s existing Service Term.

Customer also agrees to cooperate with G12 in all communications with the landlord at the Customer’s premises if requested by G12 even after the expiration or termination of the applicable Service Term so that G12 may retrieve physical possession of the CPE. Customer shall be responsible for any and all damages to the
    CPE, caused by Customer or its end-users. Furthermore, G12 will not be responsible for any interference or interruption in Services that are related to or caused by CPE. Customer is responsible for the initial and ongoing configuration of any equipment provided by Customer.
