This Statement of Work (“SOW”) is dated as of the Effective Date of the Order Form attached hereto (“SOW Effective Date”) and is entered into by and between Customer (“Customer”) and Vividly Inc. (“Vividly”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Order Form, “Services” as used herein means professional services work rendered by Vividly in relation to this SOW.
Deductions Reconciliation Service (DRS): This covers all distributors and retailers. Upon receipt of the check remittance from the Customer, the Vividly service team will begin reconciling the deduction invoices listed within the check receipt against promotions planned within Vividly. Vividly will provide the Vividly line key as the validation criteria that reconciliation occurred. If no line key is provided, Vividly will flag it as either (1) Sales Review which warrants additional input from the Customer, (2) Dispute - collection which warrants Vividly to dispute unauthorized expense, (3) Dispute - missing criteria which requires Vividly to file missing deduction invoice backup.
The following Services are included in scope during implementation of the Vividly platform:

2.3. EXCLUDED FROM SCOPE – IMPLEMENTATION & GO LIVE
The following items are not included in scope under this SOW. If Customer desires any of the services listed here or in the Ala Carte Menu, a Services scoping discussion will be needed (See “Exhibit B” on the Vividly Order Form for Ala Carte Menu):
DRS
Vividly will not validate off invoice allowances taken on purchase order which are expensed at time of invoice
Vividly will not validate terms discount allowances taken as a direct reduction of cash receivable and applied during cash application
Vividly will not upload off invoice expenses within Vividly come month-end
Vividly will not upload terms discount expenses within Vividly come month-end
Vividly will not enter promotions on your behalf, support with cash application, or perform any month-end accrual processes
Vividly will not authorize bill pay transactions
After 90 days from the check receipt date of pursuing missing deduction backup, Vividly will cease followup. Vividly will communicate with the Customer to ensure visibility into these deductions; if backup is supplied, Vividly will complete clearing process
Vividly is unable to guarantee fulfillment of 100% backup attachment rate
Backup attachment rates are extremely dependent on specific vendors and while the Vividly team will do their best to retrieve these, a 100% guarantee cannot be made
Vividly will not validate expenses < $20 per invoice, unless discussed otherwise, as it’s deemed immaterial and will be written off to the Customer’s general ledger account of choice.
Vividly strives for consistency and accuracy; however, Vividly is unable to guarantee a 100% authorization match rate between promotions and expenses
While Vividly will do their best to ensure accuracy of pairing expense to promotions is of high quality, Vividly is not liable for incorrect authorization of expenses as the Customer is responsible for reviewing work when entering within their accounting system
