When a central changes a contract, within how many days must you notify the customer before changes take effect?

• A. Immediately after changes are made
• B. Between 7 and 30 days before changes take effect
• C. Within 60 days after changes take effect
• D. On the date changes are signed

Answer: (B)

Advance notice is required whenever a central makes changes to a contract. The notice must be given in writing to the customer between seven and thirty days before the changes take effect. This window lets the customer review the new terms, ask questions, and decide whether to accept or cancel without penalty. It prevents surprise changes and ensures the customer has a real chance to respond before the new terms apply. Notifying immediately, on the signing date, or after the changes take effect would fail to meet this advance-notice requirement and could put you out of compliance.
