The term of the Agreement is for 12 months following the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), with the option by the Company to renew the agreement for successive 12 months terms (each, a “Renewal Term”), in each case by providing notice to Younet pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (the “Extension Notice”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Younet shall also provide to the Company certain deliverables and services related to the Researgency Platform, with certain additional deliverables to be provided by Younet in the event of a Renewal Term, in each case with all operating costs relating to the Researgency Platform to be paid by the Company.
