Article XV Termination

Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing three months written notice to the other Party.

In the event of termination or non-renewal of this Agreement, the Management Entities shall inform all Program Participants which they have registered of the termination of the joint program. Moreover, Management Entities shall inform the Program Participants which they have registered that each Management Entity may continue the labelling activities under two separate individual programs. In this case, the European Union labelling program will not use the ENERGY STAR marks. The Commission shall ensure that itself, the Member States of the European Union and any Program Participants which it has registered cease using the ENERGY STAR marks by the date agreed upon in writing by the Management Entities. The obligations contained in this Article XV (2) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
