Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (i) complying with any Privacy Laws would materially change Colony’s costs or risks in providing the Service (including, without limitation, by requiring that any Colony data centers be located in specific locations, or requiring Colony to operate in violation of any Canadian laws), and (ii) after the Parties’ respective legal counsel meet to discuss the problem, Colony provides written notice that it does not wish to incur such costs or risks, then each Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement (including all Order Forms and SOW) in writing within thirty (30) days after Colony provides such written notice – in which case the termination will be effective thirty (30) days thereafter. In the event of such a termination, Customer’s sole right and Colony’s sole obligation (except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement) will be for Colony to promptly refund to Customer, on a pro rata basis, any Fees paid under all Orders and SOW then in effect that are unused as of the termination effective date.
