Term Definition

Acceptance Period Means the agreed period (commencement date and duration) set out in the relevant SOW for performing the Acceptance Test on the Deliverable. In the absence of an agreed period the Acceptance Test should commence not more than seven (7) days after MoveData have supplied the Client with the Deliverable.

6.3. The Acceptance Test is regarded as having been successfully completed on the earliest of the following events:

  • the next working day after successful completion of the Acceptance Test (unless the Client has provided MoveData with written details of any material failure of the Deliverable);
  • the next working day after successful completion of the Acceptance Test where the failure of the Deliverable was solely attributable to the defective functioning of any computer hardware, software, or other item not supplied by MoveData; or
  • when the Client (or MoveData at the acceptance of the Client) first puts any part of the Deliverable into production.

Each party shall have available suitably qualified and authorised personnel to participate in the running of the Acceptance Test together with such materials and facilities as are necessary.

6.4. The passing of the Acceptance Test represents the final unqualified acceptance of the Deliverable and, subject to any ongoing warranty, can be relied upon by MoveData in relation to any subsequent claim by the Client in respect of any or all obligations and liability in relation to the applicable SOW.

6.5. The Client having passed the Acceptance Test and having paid to MoveData all sums due in relation to the applicable SOW, is granted an absolute right, title and interest in the Deliverable.

6.6. In the event of an Acceptance Test failing to meet the Acceptance Criteria then both parties shall be allowed a reasonable time to carry out further work on the affected part of the Deliverable as is required and to repeat the relevant part of the Acceptance Test.

The calculation of the proportion of sums paid by the Client for the defective part of the Deliverable shall be determined by mutual agreement or failing such agreement in accordance with the Dispute Resolution process set down in this CSA.

7. Warranty

7.1. Commencing on the date that the Acceptance Test has passed MoveData warrants for the period stated in the Agreement Schedule that any Deliverable will conform with the Client Requirements and any agreed written variations.

  • the defect has arisen from proper use in accordance with all Documentation supplied and procedures communicated by MoveData to the Client;
  • the defect is attributable to faulty workmanship or design by MoveData; and
  • the Client provides MoveData with all facilities and information reasonably required by MoveData for the duplication, investigation and remedying of the defect.

7.2. MoveData reserves the right to charge the Client for correction of any defect in the Deliverable should the defect result from a cause not attributable to MoveData (this includes but is not limited to workflows, triggers, business logic and/or environments external to the work performed by MoveData).

8.2. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this CSA, all warranties whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, relating in any way to the subject matter of this CSA or to this CSA generally are excluded.

  • the payment of the cost of having the Services supplied again.

26.4. MoveData acknowledges that there can be overlap between “general” Salesforce configuration and MoveData-specific customisation requests and/or Salesforce support. MoveData explicitly notes that the Support Package is designed to provide support and advancement of your MoveData integrations and not general Salesforce support which would be better serviced by an internal System Administrator or traditional Salesforce Partner
