16. Implementation and Training Services

What this means:

You can reschedule implementation bookings within the stated notice periods at no extra cost. We ask for reasonable notice because the delivery teams work across many customers simultaneously, a late cancellation or no-show leaves a gap that cannot easily be filled and delays other customers waiting for the same resource. The charges set out in clause 16.3 reflect that real cost to the business. If you do not attend a booked session, the full cost applies with no credit.

Legal Terms (binding):

16.1 The Customer has the right to move Implementation Services or any additional training, or appointments as listed in this Clause 16.1 that have been booked (Booking) with iplicit and/or the Partner, within a certain number of days from the Booking without incurring additional costs as per Clause 16.3, providing the following notice periods are followed:

(a) Project-kick-off appointment: This may only be moved twice before incurring an additional invoice. A minimum of 10 Business Days' before the Booking must be given to move the appointment.

(b) Solution Design appointment: This may only be moved twice before incurring an additional invoice. A minimum of 10 Business Days' before the Booking must be given to move the appointment.

(c) Project Management appointments: This may only be moved twice before incurring an additional invoice. A minimum of 10 Business Days' before the Booking must be given to move the appointment.

(d) Consultancy, training, reports/enquiry/dashboards and all other appointments: This may only be moved once before incurring an additional invoice. A minimum of 10 Business Days' before the Booking must be given to move the appointment.

(e) User Acceptance Testing (UAT) phase: This may only be moved once before incurring an additional invoice. A minimum of 10 Business Days' before the Booking must be given to move the appointment.

(f) Go-Live Sign Off Date appointment: This may only be moved once by the Customer but only with a minimum of 30 days' notice before the Go-Live Sign Off Date. iplicit and/or the Partner reserves the right to move the Go-Live Sign Off Date at any notice but only with agreement by the Customer. Where Customer moves the appointment more than once then an additional invoice will be raised by iplicit and/or the Partner in line with clause 16.3. Where iplicit invokes the change, there will be no additional invoice.

‍

16.2 To exercise the right to move a Booking, Customer must inform iplicit and the Partner of the decision to move or cancel the Booking by sending to iplicit an email notification providing the original date of Booking to bookings@iplicit.com. Customer acknowledges that any change to Booking may affect the Go Live Sign Off Date and Customer agrees that iplicit is not responsible for this change.

‍

16.3 If Customer moves the Booking in accordance with Clause 16.1, there will be no additional cost. Customer can still provide notice to move a Booking outside the notice period as per Clause 16.2, but the following additional fees will be invoiced for failing to keep to the original Booking or moving a Booking more than is permitted:

(a) If you cancel or move a Booking nine (9) days before the appointment, you will be invoiced an additional 25% of the Booking as per the Order Form;

(b) If you cancel or move a Booking five (5) to eight (8) days before the appointment, you will be invoiced an additional 50% of the Booking as per the Order Form; and

(c) If you cancel or move a Booking four (4) days to forty-eight (48) hours before the appointment, you will be invoiced an additional 75% of the Booking as per the Order Form; and

(d) If you cancel or move a Booking forty-eight (48) hours before and up to the day of the appointment, you will be invoiced 100% of Booking as per the Order Form.

(e) If you move a Booking more times than allowed as per Clause 16.1, you will be invoiced 100% of the Booking as per the Order Form.

‍

16.4 If Customer has a Booking and does not attend the Booking, the Customer will be charged the full costs of the Booking and will not be entitled to a reimbursement or any credit.

17. Dispute Resolution

What this means:

If a dispute arises, both parties’ managing directors will first try to resolve it within 30 days. This does not prevent either party applying to court for urgent interim relief.

Legal Terms (binding):

17.1 All disputes between the Parties arising out of or relating to this agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof shall be referred by either party in writing, first to each party's managing director.
