CLIENT may provide monthly caps to Search Hook to represent the maximum number of Valid Leads CLIENT is willing to pay for in a given month.

CLIENT may provide changes each month to caps for Search Hook. CLIENT may not reduce the monthly budget cap for leads below $500.
Changes must be sent in writing within five (5) business days before the start of a new month to specify the CPL and the maximum number of inquiries. If written notice to Search Hook is not received with five (5) business days before the start of a new month, the monthly caps for the current month will be applied to the new month until new instructions are provided.
