Use of the Statement Express API Service by any Customer is optional.  Notwithstanding the terms of the Agreement, Participating Affiliates are not required to execute an amendment to such Participating Affiliate's Affiliate Addendum to use the Statement Express API Service.  In addition to TWC’s termination rights set forth in Article 6 of the Agreement, TWC shall also have the right to ********* *********’ *** ** ******* ** *** ********* ******* *** ******* *** *********** **** ******* ****** to CSG in accordance with 6.1 (f) of the Agreement (as if “TWC” were substituted for “Participating Affiliate” therein and without reference to any Affiliate Addendum).

(c)  Technical Services.  Upon a Customer’s request, during the term of this Agreement and any Termination Assistance Period, CSG personnel will assist such Customer with any reasonable Technical Services that such Customer reasonably requests in connection with the Statement Express API Service, including in relation to the Customer-side integration of any Other Medium (as defined below) and/or Third Party Systems, pursuant to a Statement of Work signed by the applicable Customer and CSG for the then current Fees for the provision of Technical Services provided in Schedule F of the Agreement under the Statement Express API Service fee section.
