These three documents together describe the details of the cooperation between ZOA and Client. The omission of the Quotation or the Purchase Order Page or either of these two not being possible to access for any reason do not render the Agreement void if the other one is available and was rightly signed by Client.

Material Information refers to any such important piece of information and/or data and/or description, that when missing or not accessible would render the Project impossible to create or would modify the quality and/or quantity of deliverables in the Project in any meaningful way by the common sense of ordinary people.

Schedule, Delivery Schedule, Deadline, Milestones refer to a Gantt-formatted Project Schedule created by ZOA preliminarily and describing the work-in-progress milestone delivery dates and the Client-side feedback times regarding the delivered milestones and indicating the final delivery date. If the Schedule is outdated or incomplete, then the last mutually accepted and In Writing communicated update of the final delivery date is accepted as Delivery Schedule.

Written, In Writing, Electronic Communication refer to any form of electronically conveyed human readable information regardless of the channel of communication used if the channel is a widely used form of communication for the general public — such as: email, Skype, Viber, Teams, Slack etc. and if the channel is mutually accepted by Parties before any material information is conveyed through it.
