Service Availability

Recommencement of the work will be subject to the availability of required people.
  5. There is a risk that delays in the payment of Truly Intelligent Business's invoices may result in the stoppage of Services.
    • Mitigation: The Customer will make all efforts to settle Truly Intelligent Business's invoices on time within agreed payment terms.
