Scope of Services
Describe precisely which Daikin models and components are covered, routine maintenance tasks, exclusions, and deliverables to avoid ambiguity and scope creep.

Multiple operational roles interact with service agreements; each has distinct responsibilities for completion and approval.
Knowing which role performs each step reduces delays: operations prepares details, procurement reviews pricing, and authorized signers execute.
An operations manager typically approves routine maintenance agreements up to an organization-specific dollar threshold and coordinates scheduling across sites; ensure their signing authority is documented in procurement policy.
A C-level officer or authorized designee signs on behalf of the service provider or customer for longer-term commitments and should be listed with title and corporate authority in the signature block.
