'to' or 'up to'

I’m confused about the use of ‘to’ and ‘up to’ to indicate a limit or boundary.

Let’s say I provide maintenance services for a certain device once a month. In the agreement with my client I want to state that I will just stop providing such service when I receive, from client, a written notice to do so.

What would be the correct wording?

1. XX will provide this service to receipt of written notice ...
2. XX will provide this service up to receipt of written notice ...

Thank you,

XX will provide this service until XX receives written notice canceling the service.

Thank you Englishmaven.

Your suggestion looks great. Anyway, for my general knowledge, were both of my options wrong?

Neither of your options sounds natural.
