7. Client Responsibilities

The Client assumes full corporate responsibility to:

  • Provide all technical capability parameters, corporate certifications, and NAICS profiles via the secure post-purchase form in a timely manner.

  • Ensure the absolute accuracy, validity, and legal compliance of all business structures, financial histories, and ownership details submitted to the platform.

  • Independently execute all final proposal drafts, narrative compliance checks, pricing calculations, and submissions to government evaluation boards.

  • The Client fails to maintain an active, fully cleared monthly billing status.
