Upon delivery to Client of completed Deliverable(s), Client shall examine such Deliverable(s) and notify Inspry in writing within the time period set forth in the SOW, or such other date agreed by the parties in writing, as to whether it accepts such Deliverable(s) or rejects them. If no such date is specified, Client will have 5 business days to inspect the Deliverable(s) to verify that it conforms in all respects to the applicable specifications specified in the applicable SOW. Upon completion of the 5 business day period, if Client has not delivered a Rejection Notice (as defined below) such Deliverable(s) shall be deemed automatically accepted by the Client. Client may only reject Deliverable(s) if and to the extent that they fail to conform in all material respects to the Specifications set forth in the relevant SOW.
