If Customer should use this Service for any other purpose, or if interstate usage exceeds 10%, it is Customer's responsibility to immediately notify CenturyLink of such use and to place an order for appropriate service.

Service provided under this Agreement is subject to Funding approval and that approval will be evidenced in the Funding Concurrence block on this Agreement. That approval will be granted at the sole discretion of CenturyLink. In the event contract documents are signed under which Customer is ordering Service for which Funding is not approved, CenturyLink will cooperate with Customer in good faith to develop an alternative service solution if Funding cannot be achieved on the contracted solution and CenturyLink may immediately terminate this Agreement,without penalty, if Funding of the contracted and alternate Service solutions are determined to not be possible.
