Section 1.2                                      SchedulesSchedule 1.1 and any additional schedules for services that may later be agreed to by the parties and attached hereto shall: (i) describe the Services, including, but not limited to, the resources to be provided or obligations to be discharged by Vendor under the schedule; (ii) describe any obligations of Client related to the Services; and (iii) specify any other terms appropriate to the Services and the obligations of the parties.  Any amendments to this Agreement or to any Schedules (including portion of Schedules that the parties have agreed may be completed at a later time) shall be in writing, signed by the parties, dated and refer to the Schedule or other provision being amended.

 

Section 1.3                                      Change Requests.
