Common use of Connectivity Services Clause in Contracts

Connectivity Services. 2.1 The Exchange will provide Customer with the Connectivity Services through Customer’s System for the purpose of providing Authorized Entities with access to the Exchange Systems and for no other purposes. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes an undertaking by or obligation of the Exchange to continue to: (i) provide the Connectivity Services or access to the Exchange Systems, or any aspect of one or both, in its current form or configuration or by utilizing the equipment in place as of the date of this Agreement; or (ii) use existing communications facilities, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. 2.2 The Exchange may, at any time and in its sole discretion, make additions, deletions or modifications (collectively, “Changes”) to the Exchange Systems or any aspect of them, including the interface and operational requirements, whether or not such Changes would require changes to be made by Customer. The Exchange will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer before any material Change to the operational requirements of the Exchange Systems (including any Change to the speed, format or operating hours thereof) is effective, unless a malfunction in the Exchange Systems, an emergency situation, or a regulatory notice, order or direction precludes such advance notice. Customer’s use of the Connectivity Services following implementation of such Change constitutes Customer’s acceptance of such Change. Customer is solely responsible for making modifications to Customer’s System which may be required to permit Customer and Authorized Entities continued use of the Connectivity Services through Customer’s System following any Change. 2.3 Customer’s access to the Exchange Systems granted hereunder is non-assignable and non- transferable and is provided on a non-exclusive basis. The Exchange reserves the right to provide access to the Exchange Systems to any other person by any means whatsoever, whether directly or indirectly, including by means of devices or equipment designed or manufactured by the Exchange or any other person. 2.4 The Exchange will not provide support for Customer’s System.
