The Contractor can terminate the Contract by giving written notice: (a) if the Customer fails to make the payments required and set forth in Section 4 within two (2) days of notice of failure to make a payment; or (b) if the Customer commits any other material, non-financial breach and fails to correct the breach within ten (10) days of notice of the breach.
