This gives both OpenAI and the Customer an exit right when they cannot agree on a new Sub-Processor, but the termination right is scoped only to Services that cannot be delivered without that Sub-Processor.
Interpretive note: The excerpt is a fragment; the condition triggering the termination right ('unresolved Sub-Processor objection') is implied by the clause name and context but not fully visible in the quoted language. The canonical claim incorporates that condition accordingly.
If a Customer objects to a new Sub-Processor and the objection is unresolved, the Customer may terminate the Agreement or relevant Order Forms or usage tied to Services requiring that Sub-Processor—and so may OpenAI.
