- The Customer’s First Subscription must stay in force at all times during the Multiroom Subscription. If the First Subscription ends for any reason whatsoever, then the Discounted Rate will cease to apply and the Customer shall automatically be obliged to pay the full Subscription Fees for the Services and Programming Package selected by the Customer.
