In the event IGI does schedule a project start date without a signed Proposal Acceptance Sheet or Purchase Order, IGI may reschedule the Project Start Date without notice to the Customer.
IMPORTANT: Customer must also provide the information or take the actions, as appropriate, specified in the following chart, by the time specified in the chart:
Action Item Table
Action Items | Due Date |
Client provide IGI with signed Proposal Acceptance Sheet and Purchase Order | Prior to scheduling the project start date |
Client provide all information required | Maximum 2 weeks after Proposal Acceptance Sheet and Purchase Order are provided to IGI. |
The time frames provided in the Action Item Table are necessary to ensure that all departments are properly informed and trained regarding their responsibilities for the Project. Customer's failure to complete any of the Action Items by the Due Date specified in the Action Item Table will result in a rescheduling of the project start date by at least the number of days by which Customer was late in completing the action item. In addition, certain delays may result in additional charges as determined in the discretion of IGI.
