3.3. IKANGAI shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance/delivery dates specified in the Agreement. The performance by IKANGAI is subject to the availability of qualified personnel of IKANGAI, and the time required for the performance of Services and the development of Software cannot be conclusively assessed in advance; consequently, all dates or time quoted with respect to the Services are estimates only and are subject to alteration. Any agreed upon performance/delivery date does not render the Agreement a fixed contract.

  • any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Services arising from the change;
  • the likely effect of the change on the Services;
  • and any other impact the change might have on the performance of the Agreement;
  •
