The total price per unit, per annum may be increased (unless otherwise agreed in writing) on the anniversary of the commencement date by a percentage. Should there be changes in routes or supply outside of the Owners control it may be necessary to increase prices within the initial contract period. Any change of this nature will always be provided in writing with a minimum two weeks’ notice. - Termination:
