The "Terms and Conditions" need to be based on criteria that does not 
change.  If the value of a Terms and Conditions field changes, the SLA will 
not apply and SLA will not have the opportunity to Stop When or Exclude 
When.  It will keep running, notifications will be sent, etc.  You need to 
move everything in your Terms and Conditions into the Start When field.  
Then add the negative of the Start When criteria into the Exclude when 
field.  This will put the SLA into pending if the value changes.  If it 
changes back, the SLA timer will continue where it stopped. You don't want 
to use the Stop When field for this because it won't restart the SLA if the 
value changes back.  This would create a loop hole allowing employees to 
stop the SLAs all together by changing the priority or assigned to group 
for just one second.  You also need this to allow legit issues that are 
bounced back and forth.  Once the SLA stops it will not start again or 
create a new SLA.  Your Terms and Conditions need to be based on values 
that do not change - customer type = gold, company name = X, etc.
