Acceptance Management In an effort to avoid schedule delays stemming from delayed approvals of dependent tasks, MERIDIAN and CLIENT will mutually define a reasonable acceptance review period that does not jeopardize the project duration as outlined within the project management support period. Delays in accepting project deliverables could result in a schedule slippage equaling as much as one day for every day acceptance review is delayed. Below are the methods used to verify and validate each of the defined deliverable(s). i. Deliverable Review and Approval. MERIDIAN will provide deliverables to the CLIENT. Documentation deliverables will be provided to CLIENT in electronic form. A Deliverable Acceptance Form will be submitted to the CLIENT Project Manager for each deliverable. CLIENT will provide MERIDIAN with one set of consolidated comments. MERIDIAN will provide a CLIENT Quality Control(QC)sheet that may help the CLIENT collate all comments prior to delivering to MERIDIAN.The deliverable will be deemed acceptable when it satisfies the acceptance criteria specified for each deliverable or service or within ten (10) calendar days if no response is received. The Deliverable Acceptance will be signed and returned to MERIDIAN upon review of the deliverable within the mutually defined period as stated upon under acceptance management. In the event that the CLIENT rejects a deliverable, MERIDIAN will resubmit the deliverable to the CLIENT with the required changes within a mutually agreed upon timeline. ii. Acceptance Authority. CLIENT will specify a single point of contact with deliverable acceptance/sign off authority. Sign off acceptance is required for deliverable by the approving authority, prior to moving any customizations to the production site. iii. Withholding Acceptance. CLIENT shall not unreasonably withhold acceptance. If Acceptance is not granted or rejected within the mutually agreed upon timeframe,automatic
