If Licensee requests that MailFrontier proceed with problem determination at its possible expense and MailFrontier determines that the error was not due to an Error in the Software, Licensee shall pay MailFrontier, at MailFrontier’s then-current and standard consulting rates, for all work performed in connection with such determination, plus reasonable related expenses incurred therewith. Licensee shall not be liable for (a) problem determination or repair to the extent problems are due to Errors in the Software; or (b) work performed under this paragraph in excess of its instructions; or (c) work performed after Licensee has notified MailFrontier that it no longer wishes work on the problem determination to be continued at its possible expense (such notice shall be deemed given when actually received by MailFrontier).
