Failure to do so by Customer will give Zscaler the right to retain a contractor to remove the Device from Customer’s premises.

(b) Replacement and Upgrades.  During the applicable Subscription Term, Zscaler will provide replacement part(s) to Customer, so long as all Fees for the applicable SaaS have been paid to Zscaler.  From time to time, Zscaler may require Customer to update or replace hardware or other elements of the Device to enhance or maintain the performance of the SaaS.  In such instances, Zscaler may supply Customer with updated parts or software at no additional cost.
