The government of the undersigned Protectorate may freely request diplomatic assistance and guidance in any matter. However, in the spirit of mutual respect and friendship, it is also understood and agreed that the sovereignty of each signatory shall be respected at all times, and shall not be infringed upon.

In the event of any unprovoked aggressive action against any signatory of this Agreement, The Apparatus shall freely offer aid and assistance first and foremost through diplomatic channels. Should all attempts at diplomacy fail, The Apparatus shall defend the aggrieved Protectorate without hesitation or delay.

Article IV: Cancellation
Should either signatory decide to draw an end to this Agreement for any reason, each shall be required to notify the other through private diplomatic channels. The Agreement remains binding and in full effect for 24 hours from the time notification of intent to cancel is received and acknowledged.
