Client will not have any obligation to pay any disputed amount until thirty (30) days after such dispute has been resolved and the amount owed (if any) by Client has been determined. In the event Client disputes all or any portion of the Charges in any properly submitted invoice, the Parties agree to engage in good faith efforts to promptly resolve any such dispute for at least fourteen (14) days. Provider will continue to provide the Service and perform its obligations until a resolution is reached or the Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Subject to and except as set forth in the foregoing, any assignment by operation of law, by order of any court, or pursuant to any plan of merger, consolidation or liquidation, and any change of control of a Party will be deemed an assignment for which prior consent is required, and any assignment made without any such consent will be void and of no effect.
