Services
hubley will only perform Services as requested through an Order Form. Order Forms become binding only after hubley and Customer have affirmatively agreed to all material terms and conditions concerning the requested Services, including, the scope, price, and schedule for the Services, and their duly authorized representatives have each executed an Order Form. The failure to respond to a request for Services does not result in a binding Order Form. Each Order Form is a separate contract between the Customer and hubley. Order Forms may not be oral.
Change Orders
By issuing a Change Order request, either party may request changed items, to include new items, or to omit current items. Each offer becomes a binding Change Order only after Customer and hubley have affirmatively agreed in writing to all material terms and conditions concerning the requested change in Services (a “Change Order”). No oral change requests constitute binding Change Orders. When the Parties reach an agreement on a Change Order Request, the Parties will memorialize the Change Order in a Change Order form.
