I don't believe this is necessary. Technically speaking, all contracts are
agreements, but not all agreements are contracts. The term "agreement"
encompasses all agreements or meetings of minds, including those that may
not be legally enforceable. So, it has a broader concept. "Contracts"
means legally enforceable agreements.

But having said that, I see no necessity to make any change. I don't
believe making the suggested change alter the meaning of section III.

I think he means that the SLA should be continuing, and can only be
terminated if a "default" or "termination event" occurs, and should not
otherwise have an end date. I am not sure if this point has been discussed
at the CRISP team, or a consensus reached.
