Common use of Acceptance Process Clause in Contracts

Acceptance Process. 7.3.1 Contractor must give Confirmation for each Deliverable before the Department will begin performing Acceptance Tests. Upon delivery of a Service or Deliverable and receipt of Confirmation from Contractor that the Service or Deliverable meets applicable Specifications, the Department will, with Contractor’s assistance at no additional charge and in accordance with the Work Plan, review or perform Acceptance Tests on the Service or Deliverable to determine if it conforms to Specifications. The Department will provide Acceptance for a Service or Deliverable if it has no Deficiencies. However, if a Deficiency is found, the Department will notify Contractor, in an e-mail or other document, of Deficiencies used as the grounds for the Department’s decision not to give Acceptance. Contractor must correct Deficiencies at no cost to the Department. The Department will review or perform Acceptance Tests to verify whether the Service or Deliverable lacks Deficiencies and will notify Contractor, in writing, of its Acceptance or rejection following such review or Acceptance Tests. Contractor’s times for correcting Deficiencies and the Department’s review thereof will be in accordance with the timeframes set in the Work Plan, or, if time periods for correcting Deficiencies by Contractor and reviewing and retesting the corrected Services or Deliverables are not in the Work Plan, each such time period will be ten business days.
