The term of rental shall begin on the date the Equipment is placed into transit to Customer and will continue for the number of months indicated on the addendum (“Rental Term”). The Rental Term shall automatically renew for a month-to-month term upon expiration of original Rental Term, until Customer gives Atlas-SSI at least thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of its intention not to renew. After such notification, the Rental Term shall continue until the Equipment is effectively returned to Atlas-SSI. Customer shall give Atlas-SSI not less than 48 hours prior written notice before returning any piece of Equipment, and such notice must specify the Equipment to be returned and correlating contract or Addendum number.
