F. For co-location service in Franklin, Wisconsin Datacenter, unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement, each visit by Customer to the Space will be deemed to utilize escort services provided by CyberLynk from the time Customer’s employee(s) sign in upon entering the Space to the time Customer’s employee(s) sign out upon leaving the Space.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CyberLynk fails to tender possession of the Space to Customer within a ninety (90) day period after such Requested Service Date (due to any reason other than the acts or omissions of Customer), Customer may upon written notice to CyberLynk declare the Agreement null and void with no further obligation by Customer and CyberLynk shall refund all fees and charges paid in advance by Customer.
