The MSA and applicable Order Form shall then terminate if the breaching Party shall fail to cure such material breach within ninety (90) days of receipt of written notice thereof. If the breach is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such period, the breaching Party shall commence to cure said breach within such period, then diligently prosecute such cure to For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of multiple agreements between the parties, any non-materially breached agreement shall remain in full force and effect;
- by Logically for any reason or no reason, upon ninety (90) days written notice to Customer; or
- by Logically without notice, if in Logically’s sole discretion Customer and/or its use of the Services violates its responsibilities concerning Software Products related to or under the Agreement.[2]

Cancelation, termination, or default by Customer of the Agreement prior to the end of the Term (except in the event of a material breach by Logically as provided for in Section 17(c) or by Logically as set forth in Section 17(d)) will result in the immediate acceleration of all charges to be due under the Agreement, including all recurring Services[3], from the date of cancelation through the end of the Term. Termination charges associated with any Professional Service, as set forth in the applicable Order Form shall also come due. Customer is also responsible for all prior outstanding balances (including any accrued interest charges), actual usage and associated Taxes and Fees on all amounts due or coming due. Customer hereby authorizes Logically to charge/debit Customer’s authorized payment account for all such termination charges and any service deposits held by Logically on Customer’s behalf will be refunded at that time. Customer agrees that the damages that would be sustained by Logically from Customer’s early termination or default of an Order Form or this Agreement cannot readily be determined and that the termination charge constitutes “liquidated damages” and not a Customer waives any claim that such termination charge constitutes a penalty.
- Survivability. The provisions of this Agreement that, by their nature and content, must survive completion, rescission, termination or expiration of the Agreement in order to achieve the fundamental purposes of the Agreement (including, without limitation, confidentiality, dispute resolution, and indemnification), shall so survive and continue.
