The documented review period is 10 calendar days after complete delivery. Silence is not acceptance; acceptance requires an affirmative written approval by the authorized reviewer.
No project lead may change scope, deliverables, money, dates, ownership, legal effect, or another Party's responsibility without written approval from representatives authorized for that change.
7. FUNDING, EXPENSES, AND TAXES
No funding obligation is created by this MOA. Each Party bears its own personnel and internal operating costs; approved third-party expenses require a tax-compliant invoice, prior written approval, and applicable withholding documentation.
