The Customer Operations Lead is responsible for identifying and escalating issues and risks with a high impact to scope, budget, timeline, resourcing, or the general success of the project. Once such issue or risk has been identified, the Core Project Team shall determine if a Change Request is needed to modify the SOW. If a change to the SOW is required, both Parties agree to use the Change Request Form Exhibit B for documenting and approving the change.

The Change Request Form must be submitted formally in writing via email to the Lever Engagement Manager and Customer Executive Stakeholder who will then have two (2) business days to review the proposed change described in the Change Request Form and mutually approve and agree to be bound by it. Delays in timely review and disposition of Change Requests may result in delay of the overall project. Work described in the Change Request will not be performed until both parties have approved the change in writing.

Lever will be responsible for tracking the status of each Change Request by submitted, in review, approved or rejected. 

5. Fees. There is no additional cost for a Self Guided implementation, it is included in the price of the annual contract. In consideration for the Professional Services, Customer agrees to pay Lever at the rates set forth in the additional Order Form if applicable. 

6. Assumptions.

6.1. Deployment timeline is based on Lever’s good faith understanding of the amount of time a Customer allocating the resources described in this Schedule will require to deploy the Services using the resources provided to Customer. 

6.2. If the project start date is delayed by Customer for any reason Customer understands that Lever’s ability to staff the engagement and/or meet the estimated duration and completion date could be at risk.

6.3. If Customer cannot make necessary resources available or meet set completion dates for reviews and milestones, Lever reserves the right to revisit and revise the project's estimated costs, completion date and approach to completing the project.
