  2. Director, Conga Professional Services

Customer Representation

  1. Senior Representative, To be determined by the parties (email being sufficient)
  2. Senior Representative, To be determined by the parties (email being sufficient)

Appendix A. Salesforce Platform Assumptions
Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”)
Language
The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform.

Platform Limitations
Conga is 100% native to the Platform. The Conga solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations, features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five (25) megabytes,

Advanced Configuration
“Advanced Configurations” refer to Conga Solution components composed of the Salesforce and software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce triggers and JavaScript, Conga callbacks and APIs. Conga will make all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless appropriate Conga Managed services are procured. Conga Services will achieve a code coverage of eighty (80) percent for Conga code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:
For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Conga for the purposes of Conga to deliver its product and services. If Conga has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply. 

Platform Dependencies
As the Conga Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and policies.

Cumulative Code Coverage
Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Conga. In the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Conga Solution, Customer will remediate code coverage in a timely manner.

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects
Conga will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.

Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order.

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Conga will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Conga Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions
Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”)
Language
The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform.

Platform Limitations
Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations, features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five (25) megabytes,

Advanced Configuration
“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:
For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply. 

Platform Dependencies
As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and policies.

Cumulative Code Coverage
Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer will remediate code coverage in a timely manner.

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects
Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.

Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order.

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions
Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”)
Language
The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform.

Platform Limitations
Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations, features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five (25) megabytes,

Advanced Configuration
“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:
For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply. 

Platform Dependencies
As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and policies.

Cumulative Code Coverage
Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer will remediate code coverage in a timely manner.

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects
Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.

Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order.

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order.

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions
Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”)
Language
The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform.

Platform Limitations
Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations, features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five (25) megabytes,

Advanced Configuration
“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:
For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply. 

Platform Dependencies
As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and policies.

Cumulative Code Coverage
Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer will remediate code coverage in a timely manner.

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects
Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.

Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order.

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions
Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”)
Language
The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform.

Platform Limitations
Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations, features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five (25) megabytes,

Advanced Configuration
“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:
For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply. 

Platform Dependencies
As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and policies.

Cumulative Code Coverage
Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer will remediate code coverage in a timely manner.

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects
Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.

Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order.

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

7. TRAVEL AND EXPENSES

7.1 Travel and Expenses

No travel is anticipated for this SOW. In the event travel is required, Customer will be invoiced separately for travel expenses incurred. Payment is due net thirty (30) days from invoice. Invoices may be sent to the Customer via electronic mail. For clarity, travel and expenses are not included in the fees.

8. PROJECT GOVERNANCE

During the Plan stage for the Project, the Customer and Apttus will establish appropriate governance to support effective and appropriate decision making, sign off, and escalation procedures. Governance may include the following:

  • Project Status Meetings: Regularly scheduled with required participation from both Apttus and Customer participants;
  • Project Status Reports: Regularly provided by Apttus to Customer’s Project management team, no more than weekly; 

The first level of escalation within the Project governance structure is the Customer and Apttus Project managers. Any issues which cannot be resolved at this level will be escalated to the representatives below:

Apttus Representation

  1. Vice President, Apttus Professional Services
  2. Director, Apttus Professional Services

Customer Representation

  1. Senior Representative, To be determined by the parties (email being sufficient)
  2. Senior Representative, To be determined by the parties (email being sufficient)

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions
Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”)
Language
The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform.

Platform Limitations
Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations, features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five (25) megabytes,

Advanced Configuration
“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:
For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply. 

Platform Dependencies
As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and policies.

Cumulative Code Coverage
Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer will remediate code coverage in a timely manner.

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects
Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.

Salesforce Environments
Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order.

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)
  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would be the full sandbox)
  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full-copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.
