1.3 Default and Cure

In the event that either party hereto defaults in the performance of any of its material duties or obligations under this Agreement, including failure to make any payments due under this Agreement, and such default is not cured within five (5) days after written notice is given to the defaulting party specifying the default, then the party not in default, after given written notice thereof to the defaulting party, may terminate this Agreement.

1.5. Payment

All charges for Services must be paid in advance according to the then current prices applicable to the Services.
