"Services" are acts that a party is performing under an agreement for payment. "Services" are not goods or deliverables, which are the tangible results of the services. For example, if a consultant is engaged to meet with and better understand a customer's manufacturing system and then provide a written report summarizing how to improve the system, the meeting and understanding would be the services, while the report itself would be a deliverable.
A "Deadline" is a requirement that the services, goods or deliverables required under the Agreement must be provided within a definite time frame.
A "Deadline" is a requirement that the services, goods or deliverables required under the Agreement must be provided within a definite time frame. "Assumptions" refers to certain requirements the customer must meet so that the vendor can calculate how much work is involved, when the work can be completed, and how much the fee should be.
A fee in this context can take many forms, including a flat fee, the total of the hours/days incurred times the hourly/daily rates, a guaranteed maximum fee, a per Service/Deliverable fee, a per milestone fee, or other arrangement.
"Payment Schedule" means when the vendor will bill the customer. The customer may prefer not to be billed until after acceptance, which is a legal concept that gives the customer a short testing period after receiving goods or services to determine whether or not they are satisfactory. The vendor instead prefers to invoice the customer upon receipt of goods or services, so that the vendor can recognize its revenue sooner.
"Affiliates" means a party's parent, subsidiary, or related business associations that, in future purchases, could receive the same pricing under this contract, and "Most Favored Customer Status" means that a customer is receiving a deal from a vendor which is just as good or better than any other deal the vendor has with any other customer, and "Assumptions" means requirements a customer must meet or the vendor will have to perform extra work and as a result will need to increase the fees.
A vendor may offer a discount off the invoice if the invoice is paid early so the vendor has its money sooner.
Expenses incurred by a vendor are sometimes reimbursed by a customer, and this cost is over and above the fees under the Agreement.
