- Significant Modifications. Requests that materially increase the workload or scope of the Project require a revised or additional proposal. Work will pause until the updated terms are approved in writing.
Clients must approve revised proposals within 14 business days. Unapproved changes do not obligate the Company to proceed.
Project Delays

- Company-Caused Delays. If delays arise due to internal issues, the Company will notify the client promptly.

The Company will apply commercially reasonable testing before submitting Deliverables.
The client has 7 business days to approve or reject Deliverables in writing, providing specific feedback. The Company will address reported issues within 14 business days, after which the client has a further 7 days for review.
