9. CHANGES TO AUP. LLT may amend the AUP by publishing a revised version at www.lucidloop.tech/acceptable_use_policy, or in the event of a material adverse AUP change by providing Customer 30 days written notice. The revised Customer's execution of a new or additional agreement for all or part of AUP shall become effective as to Customer on the first to occur of: (i) products and services incorporating the revised AUP, (ii) the first day of an Agreement renewal term beginning at least 30 days after revised AUP publication, or (iii) expiry of written notice of material adverse AUP change. If compliance with the revised AUP would adversely affect Customer's use of LLT's products and services, Customer may terminate the affected Services (without payment of an early termination fee) by giving LLT written notice of Customer's objection no later than 30 days following the date that the revised AUP would otherwise have become effective as to Customer; Customer may continue using LLT's products and services for up to an additional 90 days subject to the prior version of the AUP; and LLT may decide to waive the AUP change as to Customer in which case the notice of termination shall be of no effect.

No credit shall be available under any Service Level Agreement for interruptions of Services resulting from AUP breach. Customer's use of LLT's products and services to assist another person in an activity that would breach this AUP if performed by Customer is an AUP breach.
