Client agrees to fully test Updates in a non-production environment prior to implementation.
  • 5. Term and Early The initial term for the provision of maintenance services shall correspond to the License Term (as defined in Article 1 of Exhibit A – Terms and Conditions), unless the Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with Article 9 of Exhibit A – Terms and Conditions, in which case the term for the provision of maintenance services shall end on the same termination date. The provision of maintenance services shall then be renewed only if and to the extent the License (as defined in Article 1 of Exhibit A – Terms and Conditions) has been validly renewed and paid for (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the renewal term for the provision of Maintenance shall correspond to the renewal term of the License).
