      • Support Services
        • Subject to the provisions of these Commercial Terms and Our SLA, We shall provide the Support Services to You during the Contract, and solely in respect of the Platform hosted on ARuVR Cloud.

          1. suspend access to the Platform, provision of the Services and/or Delivery of the Products until the corresponding overdue fees are paid in full; or
          2. treat such as a material breach and terminate the Contract in accordance with clause 2(a).
        • Duration & Termination
          • Each Contract shall begin on its Effective Date and shall continue for a minimum term of twelve (12) months or such term as may be specified in the Proposal, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of clause 2.
          • Either party (the “Initiating Party”) may forthwith terminate any Contract at any time upon giving written notice to the other party, if the other party:
            1. commits any material breach of any term of the Contract that is not reasonably capable of remedy or, if it commits a breach which is reasonably capable of remedy, fails to remedy such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the Initiating Party within thirty (30) days of a written request to do so; or
