3. Client's rights & obligations

The Client is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the provided data and information. 

The Client acknowledges that SalesPlaybook in order to provide the Services is dependent on the Client's cooperation. The Client shall ensure that SalesPlaybook receives, in good time, all support, documents and information required for the purpose of the Services.

Specifically, the Client is responsible for the following:

• The ongoing cooperation during the term of the Services as requested by SalesPlaybook, including completion of assignments, preparation and attendance of sessions, and timely provision of all documentation and information, as well as granting SalesPlaybook all access needed;

• Active cooperation and support by the Clients project managers and team members, including the assignment of one or several qualified members of the senior management with the proper responsibility for the project, for overseeing and evaluating the adequacy of the results of the Services for the Client's purpose;

• Timely decision-making for the necessary project steps, as required; and

• Timely information about events that may have an impact on the Services.

The Client is solely responsible for providing correct and accurate information, documentation, and access. If the provision of Services is delayed due to the Client's failure to comply with its duty to cooperate or due to other circumstances for which the Client is responsible, the Client shall bear the disadvantages and additional costs incurred. In particular, in case the Client misses or cancels working sessions or comes unprepared, the working session or deliverable will be deemed to be delivered.

If applicable, the Client is fully responsible for choosing a secure password in accordance with SalesPlaybook’s specifications, protecting their credentials, and using the Services securely and in accordance with the Terms.

The Client must immediately inform SalesPlaybook of any unauthorized use of the credentials. SalesPlaybook is not liable for any damage or loss due to unauthorized account access resulting from the Client's actions or omissions. 

The Client must use the Services in compliance with legal and moral obligations applicable in the territory where it is located.

The Client informs SalesPlaybook immediately of all circumstances within its sphere that might endanger or be relevant for providing Services and all misuses or suspicions of misuse of the Services.

4. Salesplaybook's rights & obligations

SalesPlaybook may amend the Terms from time to time at its sole discretion by publishing an updated version of the Terms on the Website. SalesPlaybook will electronically notify the Client of any material changes to the Terms.

The Client should check the Terms regularly and only use the Services upon acceptance of the changes to the Terms.

SalesPlaybook will notify the Client of any material changes, i.e., changes significantly altering the nature and scope of the Services provided to the Client according to the Agreement, at least 14 days ahead, unless impossible.

SalesPlaybook backs up the data on a regular basis. SalesPlaybook may subcontract third parties for all its obligations under the Agreement at its own expense unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

SalesPlaybook is fully liable to the Client for its subcontractors and ensures that subcontractors are bound to the same or stricter confidentiality obligations than SalesPlaybook.

5. Project Change Request

5.2 All PCRs should be communicated in written form by the Client to the Consultant. No verbal or non-written PCR will be considered valid or be acted upon.


5.3 Upon receipt of a PCR, the Consultant shall evaluate the proposed changes, including their impact on the project scope, deliverables, timeline, resources and costs. All consulting work related to the project will be put on hold until the PCR has been fully evaluated and all necessary commercial and contractual aspects have been revisited as required. The Client is solely responsibly for any delay caused by a PCR.


5.4 If the PCR affects the project scope or results in additional work or costs for the Consultant, the Client will be charged an additional fee of no less than 10% of the initial project price or as otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing.
