Scope of Work
Define deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria, and excluded items. Attach a Statement of Work to capture technical specifications and reduce ambiguity during execution and billing.

Clients, authorized purchasing officers, or company executives sign on the client side; authorized Vivacity Tech officers sign for the provider.
The VP Operations or an officer with delegated authority executes provider-side agreements, confirms SOW attachments, and validates invoicing terms for Vivacity Tech.
