11.4 Within sixty (60) days after the effective date of termination SpinRamp will, upon Customer’s request, extract all available Customer Content from the SpinRamp Service. Both parties will agree to an acceptable transfer methodology. If Customer accounts are deactivated prior to the termination date, data contained within those accounts is not available any more, therefore Customer must extract the data prior to deactivating accounts. After such thirty (30) day period, SpinRamp shall have no obligation to maintain or return any Customer Content. Any reasonable expenses incurred by SpinRamp as a result of this extraction shall be the responsibility of Customer.
