This is a very direct question about the language in an amendment to a statement of work.
This Amendment No. 1 was signed in Aug. 2020, but the original SOW Effective Date was signed Oct. 2018 (originally with 12 month auto-renewal terms, each renewal for 12 more months).
The amendment replaced the language in the term section of the original agreement to say "The SOW commences on SOW Effective Date and continues for 6 months" and then changed made the auto renewals 6 month renewals terms as well.
The amendment was effective as of Aug 2020, so the question is does this language means that the 6 month terms revert back and start in Oct. 2018, when the contract originally commenced? Or do they start from scratch, so the initial six month term starts Aug. 2020?
