Shaping Your Obligations and Project Assumptions (General)

You acknowledge that the successful delivery of Professional Services is dependent on your timely provision of office accommodations, facilities, equipment, support, cooperation, and complete and accurate information from your officers, agents, and employees (collectively, “cooperation”). VNMT Solutions will not be liable for any performance issues arising from insufficient cooperation on your part.

You further acknowledge that VNMT Solutions’ ability to deliver the Professional Services outlined in this Statement of Work (SOW) is contingent upon your fulfillment of the following obligations and project assumptions: 

  1. Obtain a valid subscription to the Service under a separate agreement before the Professional Services commence and maintain this subscription throughout the duration of the project.
  2. Provide VNMT Solutions with full access to relevant technical, functional, and business resources, possessing the necessary skills and knowledge to support the delivery of Professional Services.
  3. Ensure a safe and conducive workspace for VNMT Solutions resources working on-site, including compliance with health and safety standards (e.g., proper ventilation, acceptable sound levels, and ergonomically correct workstations).
  4. Issue all required notices and secure any necessary consents for VNMT Solutions to perform its services. 
  5. Limit VNMT Solutions’ access to production or shared development environments as necessary for the delivery of the Professional Services.
  6. Ensure uniform and consistent functional processes across the organization, including parent and subsidiary companies (e.g., a unified Order to Cash process across the organization).
  7. Perform a production refresh of the sandbox environment at the start of the project. 
  8. Obtain mutual consent before filming or recording VNMT Solutions’ delivery of Professional Services, their resources, or any VNMT materials.

  11. Provide your organization’s structure prior to the start of any personalization work.
  12. Procure any third-party services or fees required.
  13. Ensure that your designated team members complete prerequisite fundamental training at least a week before the project kick-off and attend project team administrator training.
  14. Oversee the review, setup, and testing of Professional Services during the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) phase.
  15. Be responsible for data export and manipulation from your NetSuite instance to meet local taxation and reporting requirements.

Service Delivery:

  • Professional Services will be performed remotely or on-site where feasible.
  • At your request, and at VNMT’s discretion, VNMT Solutions may agree to conduct on-site visits during the service period. You will be responsible for any travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred for these visits.

  • VNMT Solutions’ consultants will not be required to work outside standard local business hours.
  • VNMT’s consulting resources are not exclusively assigned to a single project and may be involved in multiple projects for various clients.
  • Any Professional Services not explicitly mentioned in the Description of Services are considered out of scope.
  • Project timelines are dependent on the availability of your resources and decision-makers. Delays in decision-making or access to key stakeholders may impact the timeline and result in additional costs.
  • Go-live is understood to occur upon cutover to your production environment, and post-go-live support will begin at that point.
  • All enablement materials will be designed, developed, and delivered in English, unless VNMT Solutions chooses to provide them in other available languages at its sole discretion.
