Contract # 505ENT-O17-SALESFORCE-04 14 of 25 Salesforce Implementation Services

Authorized User and Contractor in writing (“Specifications”).

The Authorized User shall complete its review of the corrected Deliverable and notify Contractor in writing of acceptance or rejection in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section.

If Contractor is unable to correct the Deficiencies in a Deliverable within the period set forth above, the Authorized User shall be entitled, at its option, to a refund or credit of professional fees paid to Contractor under the applicable Purchase Order with respect to the Services giving rise to such Deliverable and this shall be the Authorized User’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Contractor’s sole and exclusive obligation, with respect to any claim that the Deliverables do not conform to the requirements of this Contract and such Purchase Order.
