3. Planning

1. In the planning phase, Purchaser shall make use of the services of Supplier in order to make the necessary preparations to perform the data processing and the Software development. The aim of the planning service provided by Supplier is to agree on all essential requirements, based on the facts and requirements determined during the planning phase in close cooperation with Purchaser, in a formal specification sheet or in any other formal or informal form (referred to as "Scope of Work"). The Scope of Work forms the basis for the subsequent Software development.
2. In the planning phase, Purchaser shall provide Supplier with the necessary information on the actual state in the intended fields of application, on business policy and procedural goals and priorities, and on all other specifications within Purchaser’s sphere for the preparation of the Scope of Work. For this purpose, there will be direct and close coordination throughout the planning phase regarding the services provided by Supplier and the wishes, proposals and instructions of Purchaser. Purchaser is therefore fully involved in the planning phase.
3. If Supplier notices during the planning phase that the intended configuration has to be modified due to the facts, requirements and software features that have been worked out in the meantime, the Supplier shall inform Purchaser thereof within a reasonable time and make alternative proposals. The Supplier and the Purchaser shall immediately decide on any modifications resulting from such instructions affecting the price, preparation and content of the Scope of Work.

After successful completion of the acceptance, Purchaser shall confirm the acceptance by countersigning the acceptance protocol. Notwithstanding the above, Software development shall be deemed accepted fourteen (14) days after written notification of availability for acceptance by Supplier unless any deviations or faults are presented, if the acceptance procedure is delayed for reasons for which Supplier is not responsible or if the Purchaser does not confirm the acceptance within the set period and omits to notify at least one defect or fault, or if the Purchaser is taking the Delivery Item in professional use, the Delivery Item shall be deemed to have been accepted.
5. During the time period used by Supplier for the elimination of errors identified in the acceptance test, the acceptance procedure is considered suspended. Supplier shall correct errors within a reasonable time and free of charge (referred to as "Correction") and notify Purchaser of the completion of the Correction. Subsequently, the acceptance procedure is carried out again. Insignificant non-conformities are no reason for refusal of acceptance.
6. If the Correction fails in spite of a letter of notice sent by Purchaser to Supplier where he grants a reasonable and adequate period of time and warns Supplier that failure of Correction might lead to termination of the non-accepted services, Purchaser is entitled to withdraw from the development phase regarding the affected service.
7. In the planning phase and in the development phase, the Parties can agree on partial acceptance of quantifiable partial services which have to be accepted individually according to Section 5, in order to ensure the good continuation of the development phase.
