In the future, we may require you to use other proprietary software, web-based programs, or new or additional software modules that will be integrated into the BOR Software Suite, for which you will pay the then-current fees for licenses associated with each. We do not have a schedule for such additions and do not have a formula for determining the cost of any such change or additions. As a result, we cannot estimate any cost to you.
