If substantial issues are uncovered during testing, Acquia will propose recommendations and high-level estimations to remedy these issues so that the Customer can ensure its performance meets or exceeds expectations when deployed.
The scope of Launch Readiness includes:
Within ten (10) business days after the conclusion of Launch Readiness, Acquia will deliver a Security Audit Report as well as a Performance Audit Report that includes our audit findings, Acquia recommended remediations, and a high-level estimation to complete this remediation.
Customers can purchase additional load tests in quantities of up to three (3) tests for up to 5,000 concurrent users. Load Testing Add-on must be purchased with either the Performance Audit and Load Test or Launch Readiness engagements and must be completed concurrently with said Services.
Professional Services are subject to the applicable Agreement and the Order or SOW between Customer and Acquia, and the payment of all applicable fees.
Customer acknowledges that Acquia’s ability to perform the Professional Services depends upon Customer’s fulfillment of the following obligations and project assumptions.
Customer Responsibilities: Customer shall:
Professional Services do not include any associated costs with provisioning hardware for Customer. In the event a server is required for the performance of Professional Services, Customer agrees to pay Acquia the associated hardware costs at Acquia’s then current list price.
Change Management: Revisions to the scope of the Professional Services described in an Order or an SOW shall be handled through a change order. Acquia will have no obligation to begin work on any change order that has not been approved and executed by each party.
Performance: Any tasks identified in an SOW are intended merely to describe a resource plan only and the scope of work that may be provided by Acquia. Acquia will provide only those services as directed and requested by Customer and only as time allows. Acquia will use good faith efforts to complete the services described in an SOW and does not guarantee that such services will be completed within the allotted hours or days set forth in an SOW or otherwise approved by Customer pursuant to a change order. Any delay in Acquia’s performance that is caused by Customer or a third party not under Acquia’s control will result in an extension of the applicable estimated time frame, with a commensurate extension of the time and fees required.
Rescheduling: Customer may, without penalty, reschedule the Professional Services with a minimum of two (2) weeks advance written notice to Acquia. Once the Acquia team has been scheduled with Customer, should Customer provide Acquia with less than two (2) weeks advance notice of Customer’s request to reschedule the Professional Services, Customer will be charged rescheduling fee equal to 50% of the Fees set forth in the Order or SOW (the “Rescheduling Fee”) plus, if applicable, any travel expenses already incurred by Acquia. Acquia may waive the Rescheduling Fee if Acquia is able to redeploy the Acquia team to another engagement during the originally scheduled Professional Services period.
Acquia will provide the Professional Services described only if purchased by Customer, as indicated in the Order or SOW.
