TraknProtect will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer prior to any suspension.
19. Injunctive Relief
Customer’s breach of Sections 2 or 5 and either party’s breach of Sections 9, 11, or 12 would cause irreparable harm to the other party and monetary damages would be insufficient to remedy any that harm.
