Assumptions

1. Platform Delivery: Implementation, as mentioned in section 2 above, shall be declared as ‘Delivery Achieved’.

4. Any third-party issues like a client's WhatsApp account not working or FB page not approved by Meta or another third-party account/platform not working may cause Yugasa Bot to stop working on that platform. Fixing any such issues on the client's platform (WhatsApp in the current SoW) will not be part of Yugasa’s scope of work.

WhatsApp Pricing Details

https://business.whatsapp.com/products/platform-pricing 

The conversational charges will be applicable as per prevailing WhatsApp pricing as explained on the link above. All conversations are measured in 24-hour increments or “sessions”. These 24-hour conversation sessions start whenever the first message is delivered by a business, either in response to a user inquiry or if a business-initiated message template is delivered.

Change Request Pool

The cost shared above considers the Scope of Work which has been discussed during multiple meetings between both teams. Most of what we have envisioned together at this stage of project discussion has been documented here including the asked customizations. Considering our experience with software development, it happens at times that few new feature requests come to the surface as the product takes a tangible shape during the development phase. To save both the two teams from sudden surprises due to such additional feature requests during project execution, we must keep some budget margins accordingly. Considering our experience, we recommend clients to keep a pool of budget ready to accommodate such new Feature Requests and Change Requests. For any new requirements introduced during the project execution and after the bot implementation, team Yugasa shall estimate the efforts for the newer work and shall submit such estimates for the client’s approval. On approval of budgets/funds for the new development, team Yugasa shall commence work on newer implementation.

Any additional feature or customization not mentioned in the scope of work, during bot implementation or after delivery shall be quoted additionally at the rate of INR 1200 per man hour (excl. GST) and shall be charged separately.
