(2) If, when notice of the issue of a certificate of liability and a copy of such certificate is served on any person by the Company under this section, such person within seven days after such service gives to the Company notice of his intention to cease to receive the new milk supply to which such certificate of liability relates and does within such seven days cease to receive such new milk supply, then such person shall be exempt from liability to pay the principal sum mentioned in such certificate or the interest thereon for so long as he does not receive such new milk supply but in the event of his subsequently again receiving such new milk supply such exemption shall cease and he shall forthwith become liable to pay the said principal sum with interest thereon from the transfer day in accordance with this Act as if he had never been so exempted.
