CHANGES TO CONTENT, TESTING, AND ACCEPTANCE

 

Agency will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to test Deliverables requiring testing and to make all necessary corrections before providing Deliverables to the Client.

Any such written notice shall be sufficient to identify with clarity any objection, correction or change, or amendment, and KDGA will undertake to make the same in a commercially timely manner. Any objections, corrections, changes, or amendments shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the absence of such notice from the Client, the Deliverable shall be deemed accepted. If a client deliverable – such as input, approvals, or payment is late more than five (5) business days, the project will be considered “on hold”.

Therefore, the Client is ultimately responsible for any typographical, spelling, grammatical, copy, photographic, illustrative, layout, or other errors discovered during or after printing or reproduction, or for any work or services performed by any party selected by the Client.  In the event the Client determines there are errors in the work produced during the Project, Client shall notify Agency of any errors within of Client’s determination. Authorization of final proof approval relinquishes Agency of any liability.

Client agrees to review Deliverables within the time identified for such reviews and to promptly either, (i) approve the Deliverables in writing or (ii) provide written comments and/or corrections sufficient to identify the Client’s concerns, objections or corrections to Agency. The Agency shall be entitled to request written clarification of any concern, objection or correction. Client acknowledges and agrees that Agency’s ability to meet any and all schedules is entirely dependent upon Client’s prompt performance of its obligations to provide materials and written approvals and/or instructions pursuant to the Agreement and that any delays in Client’s performance or Changes in the Services or Deliverables requested by Client may delay delivery of the Deliverables.
