3.1 The initial term for Services begins with the Service Commencement Date and continues for the period stated in your Order. Upon the expiration of the initial term for Services stated in your Order, we may offer you the option of renewing your Services and this Agreement for additional successive terms having a fixed number of months. If you do not renew the Services and this Agreement for a fixed term, it will automatically renew for successive one (1) calendar month terms (excluding the renewable Services described in section 3.2), unless (i) you or Skyway Networks provide notice, electronically or by postal mail, to the other of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the then-current term; (ii) the cumulative Service Fees that would be due for one (1) calendar month are below the Minimum Billing Threshold.

For domain name or SSL certificate Services initially registered and maintained with Skyway Networks, or fully transferred by you to Skyway Networks from a third-party service provider, and if you are not in breach of this Agreement, Skyway Networks will make a commercially reasonably effort to electronically send you one or more renewal notifications before or on the expiration date of your domain name or SSL certificate Services. Lack of receipt of a renewal notification by you shall not incur liability of any kind for Skyway Networks.

3.3 Upon automatic renewal of a Service term, Skyway Networks will electronically send, or send postal mail, to you either an invoice or a receipt (if you elect to use automatic billing as described in section 2.5) for the Service Fees, applicable taxes and related charges due for the renewal of the Services in your Order. Any delay by Skyway Networks to send an invoice or receipt shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the applicable Service Fees, applicable taxes, or related charges for any part of the renewed Services term. If you wish to decline the automatic renewal of the Services, you may do so as provided within this Agreement. In such an event, Skyway Networks will instead send to you a pro-rated invoice or receipt for Services provided between the expiration date of the prior Services term and the then-current date of your notification of declined renewal. If payment has already been provided to Skyway Networks for the renewal of Services in your Order, Skyway Networks will credit your account, within thirty (30) days of your request, for the term between the date of your notification of the declined renewal and the end of the renewed Service term. The credit will be provided as described in section 3.12.

While any of your Services are in a suspended status, and at its sole discretion, Skyway Networks may redirect one or more of the domain names associated with your suspended Service to either a web site that explains the Service is currently unavailable, or to the Skyway Networks Web Site.

Skyway Networks will provide you with written electronic notice at least twelve (12) Business Hours prior to the suspension of Services for any of the reasons provided in this section 3.6, unless Skyway Networks reasonably believes that an immediate suspension of Services are necessary to protect the Skyway Networks' network or other Skyway Networks' customers from immediate and significant operational or security harm. In the case of an immediate suspension, Skyway Networks will attempt to contact you as soon as is reasonable to notify you of the suspension and its reason.
