2) PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS SPECIFIC TO IT SERVICES

Definition of services
Prior to launching any Services, the Customer forwards to the Service Provider a statement of need containing the information concerning the Service it wishes to entrust to the Service Provider. On the basis of this information, the Service Provider establishes a Quotation setting down:

The procedures and deadlines for the performance of the Services,
The costs of the Services excluding tax,
Where appropriate, the Service Provider’s commitment to provide Functional Specifications detailing the technical and functional characteristics of the Deliverable and a detailed Schedule.

Once the Quotation is validated by the Customer, a definition phase will follow during which the Parties will detail the procedures for carrying out the Services and at the end of which the Service Provider will provide, if set down in the Quotation, detailed Functional Specifications as well as a detailed Schedule for performing the Services. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that adjustments may be made to the elements contained in the initial Quotation (scope and price of services) following this definition phase. The Customer undertakes to validate any detailed Functional specifications and Schedule within the time limit agreed between the Parties and at the latest within 5 days of these being sent by the Service Provider. Failing validation by the Customer within this deadline, the detailed Functional Specifications and Schedule will be deemed to have been accepted tacitly by the Customer. At the end of the definition phase and once the Functional Specifications and Schedule have been validated, the Service Provider will start to carry out the Development and/or configuration Services on the Deliverables in accordance with the procedures validated in Writing between the Parties. Any request from the Customer for an item not included in the Quotation and/or the Functional Specifications will result in an additional payment set out in a quotation and a new schedule.

Timetable and deadlines
The timetables and deadlines for performing the services and providing the Deliverables are indicated in the detailed Schedules validated in Writing by the Parties (hereinafter the « Schedule »). Each step is indicated, taking into account the development and/or configuration and validation times. The Customer undertakes to provide the Service Provider with all elements and information necessary for production of the Deliverables, within the deadlines agreed with the Service Provider so as not to hinder the Deliverables development schedule. Any delay for which the Customer is to blame will result in the timetable being postponed by the corresponding duration and for which the Service Provider may not be held responsible.

Acceptance of Deliverables
The purpose of the acceptance procedure is to check the proper technical and functional workings of the Deliverable in its normal operating environment. Once the Deliverable has been tested by the Service Provider, it will be placed at the disposal of the Customer on an acceptance server. The Parties undertake to carry out acceptance testing on the Deliverable on the acceptance server intended for this purpose. Acceptance of the Deliverable is established as follows: from the time the Deliverable is placed on the acceptance server, the Customer will have the time set down in the Schedule agreed between the Parties, to test and analyse the proper workings of the Deliverable compared to the expected operation, such as it results from any Functional Specifications, Schedules or other Written documents validated by the Parties. Where this check is satisfactory and within a timeframe in accordance with the Schedule, an acceptance report must be validated in Writing by the Customer. At the end of this acceptance phase, the Customer may:

If Major and/or Inhibiting Anomalies persist, refuse reception. In this case, the Service Provider undertakes to make the corrections requested by the Customer without delay after reception is refused in order to be able to submit the Deliverable for a new validation. If the Deliverable can still not be accepted after this extension, the Parties will escalate their points of disagreement. The Parties will then define an action plan to enable the Customer to accept the Deliverable.
If no Anomaly remains, pronounce the definitive acceptance by email and/or by signing a “Definitive Acceptance Report”,
If only Minor Anomalies remain, pronounce acceptance with reservations by email and/or by signing an “Acceptance Report with reservations”,

Once the “Definitive Acceptance Report” and/or the “Acceptance Report with reservations” has been signed or validated by email by the Customer, the Service Provider is authorised to Install the Deliverable on the production server and to publish it online.

Publishing Deliverables online
The Service Provider undertakes to put the Site online in accordance with the Functional Specifications. No online publication will be performed without the Customer’s Written agreement. The Customer undertakes to reply to the Service Provider within the time limits set down in the Schedule. If the Customer has pronounced acceptance with reservations, the Service Provider undertakes to correct any remaining Minor Anomalies without delay after the Acceptance with reservations has been validated. After this correction time, the Customer will validate the lifting of reservations by email or by signing a “Definitive Acceptance Report”. Once the Deliverable is online, the Parties will check, within the time agreed between them, that the Deliverable operates correctly in its production environment and that no discrepancy exists in relation to the tests performed on the acceptance server. During this “re-run” phase which may not exceed the duration agreed in Writing between the Parties starting from online publication and as any new Anomalies are notified resulting from the move from a test environment to a production environment, the Service Provider undertakes to make the corrections requested by the Customer without delay. At the end of this “re-run” phase, the Customer will confirm in Writing acceptance and reception of the Deliverable on its production environment. Failing validation by the Customer within 5 days after the re-run phase, the reception of the Deliverable on its production environment will be deemed to have been accepted tacitly by the Customer.
