In the event of any change of Laws applicable to the BILT Service in any jurisdiction that would in BILT’s reasonable determination cause the BILT Platform or Service or any element thereof to no longer comply with applicable Laws, BILT shall have the right to replace or modify the affected elements of the BILT Platform or Service, in whole or in part, so that it becomes legally compliant but provides substantially equivalent functionality.
