Cancellation and Revision
5.1. At any time, the Customer may cancel the IO with 30 days prior written notice, without penalty.

Force Majeure
8.1.

In the event that Infopro suffers such a delay or default, Infopro shall use its reasonable endeavours within five business days to recommend a substitute transmission for the Ad or time period for the transmission. If no such substitute time period or other arrangement is reasonably acceptable to the Customer, Infopro shall allow the Customer a pro rata reduction in the payment due pursuant to the relevant IO.
