Changes in Technology Clause Samples

Changes in Technology. 5.5.1 There shall be no restriction on Franchisee's technology used to deploy and deliver SD or HD signals. Franchisee may implement carriage of the HD PEG Channel in any manner (including selection of compression, utilization of IP, and other processing characteristics) that produces a signal quality for the consumer that is reasonably comparable and functionally equivalent to similar commercial HD cable channels carried on the Cable System. In the event the Franchisors desire to implement additional functionality on one or more of the PEG Channels comparable to additional functionality available on any other channel on the Basic Service Tier, the Franchisee shall cooperate with the Franchisors to make such functionality available, provided that implementation of such functionality does not require the use of additional capacity on the System, or impose any out-of-pocket cost on Franchisee. The PEG Channels shall also comply with any future technical standards addressing performance requirements and testing applicable to transmissions of digital signals. If the Franchisee makes changes to the Cable System that require improvements to access facilities or equipment, Franchisee shall make any necessary changes to the Franchisee's headend and distribution facilities or equipment within thirty

Changes in Technology. In the event any change is made in the Cable System and related equipment and Facilities or in the signal delivery technology of Grantee’s Cable Services that directly or indirectly materially degrades the signal quality or transmission of PEG Access Programming, Grantee shall at its sole expense and free of charge to the City take necessary steps or provide necessary technical assistance, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of all necessary equipment, to ensure that the capabilities of the Designated Access Managers, PEG Access Programmers, or Programming offerings (quality of Channel or video) are restored.

Changes in Technology. If the County desires to implement additional functionality on one or more of the PEG Channels comparable to an Additional Functionality available on any other channel on the Basic Service Tier, the Franchisee shall meet with the County to discuss the possibility of making such functionality available, provided that implementation of such functionality does not require the use of additional capacity on the Cable System, or impose any out-of-pocket cost, or create any other burden, on Franchisee. For purposes of this Section 6.7, "Additional Functionality" shall mean any function that permits greater or improved subscriber interaction with video programming delivered by the Cable System or access to information regarding the content of such video programming. If the Franchisee makes changes to the Cable System that require improvements to access facilities or equipment to maintain the then-existing signal quality or picture quality, or other then-existing functions or capabilities, the Franchisee shall make any necessary changes to the Franchisee's headend and distribution facilities or equipment within thirty (30) days so that PEG facilities and equipment may be used as intended in this Agreement at no cost to the County.

Changes in Technology. Given that various technological devices enable music making, technology is often a focal point of research on the music industry. Although there is no consensus regarding how technology contributes to market transformation, many researchers emphasize the contributions of technology to dramatic transformations in the music market (▇▇▇▇, 2005). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (1995) illustrates one micro-level example of the importance of technology in the music industry in her research on classical performer/composer ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. She attributes the illustrious success of Beethoven to the development of the pianoforte – an instrument that could be played very loudly or softly and sensitively. Given Beethoven’s notably heavy, emotional, and imprecise playing style, the pianoforte was an indispensable technology that enabled Beethoven to express his skills as a performer. Had this technology not emerged, Beethoven would have remained a provincial musician on ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1995). In the twentieth century, various technological developments “radically altered music” (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Anand, 2004, p. 314). Recording technologies – beginning with the phonograph – enabled the projection of sounds over time, and the introduction of radio enabled the projection of sound over space (Chanan, 1995). More recently, musical instruments such as microphones (Lockheart, 2003) and electric guitars (Waksman, 1999) have transformed various aspects of the music industry. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (2005) chronicled the critical technological developments and the embedded impact of these technologies in the market for prerecorded music. In recent years, new technologies such as broadband and advances in consumer electronics have paved the way for vast music sharing networks and online communities. A handful of salient technological developments have had a particularly large impact on the music industry: i. Digital technology

Changes in Technology. The Employer agrees that when for any reason technological changes take place that require additional knowledge and/ or skill on the part of its employees. Employees will be given the opportunity to acquire any knowledge and skill necessary to handle the technology change. The Employer agrees to furnish the necessary instructions during regular duty hours and employees will not suffer any loss of pay or benefits during training.

Changes in Technology. If the Customer wishes to change its technology which requires ▇▇▇▇▇ Systems to change its operating systems on which the Software operates, the Customer will notify in writing ▇▇▇▇▇ Systems of the changes it desires to make and the parties will mutually agree to the scope of Professional Services and fees associated with such change in technology, if any. Both parties will work in good faith to accommodate the changes. If the Customer needs to remain in an older environment for a period of time to accommodate its requirements or the requirements of other programs used by the Customer, ▇▇▇▇▇ Systems will continue to support the older version for a mutually agreed time period set out in writing. If data conversion is required, ▇▇▇▇▇ Systems will convert the data it manages for the Customer to the newer media or format upon mutually agreed terms set out in writing.

Changes in Technology. There is no assurance that the juicing products developed by the Company will not be rapidly rendered obsolete by new juicing products developed by others. In addition, the Company will utilize and rely on juicing machine component parts produced by others. Since the Company does not own or control the production of such components, there can be no assurance that they will remain available for use by the Company at a reasonable cost or at all, and in such event, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to locate and utilize substitute components at a reasonable cost or at all or which will provide the same necessary components that the Company requires to provide its juicing products. In such event, the Company’s business and profitability will be adversely affected.
