Except for suspension under this section 7.2 (a), any suspension under this section 7 shall not excuse Customer from Customer's obligation to make payments under the Agreement.

If either Customer or HammerTech breaches a material term of the Agreement and fails to correct the breach within thirty (30) days of written specification of the breach, then the non-breaching party may immediately terminate the Agreement.

For a period of thirty (30) days after expiration or termination of the Agreement and, conditioned upon Customer having paid all Fees due and payable to HammerTech in accordance with the Agreement, Customer may request a copy of Customer Data (as it existed at the expiration or termination date) from HammerTech. HammerTech will make such Customer Data available for retrieval by Customer in a machine-readable format within fourteen (14) days from the date of request by Customer and such Customer Data will remain available for retrieval for a period of thirty (30) days.
