If, for any reason, Travelport is unable or believes that it may become unable, to make any of the above-mentioned fares, rates and products available in any Travelport GDS or the uAPI, it will notify Subscriber and describe, in reasonable detail, the affected fares, rates and/or products (or those which might be affected as the case may be) together with the expected duration of their lack of availability, and shall provide Subscriber with such other information as Subscriber may reasonably request.
