Authorized Signatory
ANNEXURE A

Smart24x7 (v/s) AT

AT: This is good simple document but what perhaps needed to be added is:

1. R&R for both parties to be more clearly articulated. Smart R&R is totally missing in terms
of enablement (product training/support during sales cycle, implementation, product
enhancement feedback, local staff hiring/training & retention etc.) of partner so that both
parties can be successful.

[Smart24x7]: will undertake all the other responsibility except the ones mentioned in the section
3 of this agreement and includes the above mentioned tasks.
Draft RnR will be shared with you along with other documents.

2. Average sales cycle is 6-12 months, what about expenses incurred during such period?
Not remuneration but more of travel/client management etc
[Smart24x7]: The arrangement is purely success based, the partner will have to manage
the expenses of his own (unless otherwise discussed/agreed beforehand in interest of
business)
3. What say does partner have in qualifying process (which deals to drop, which ones to
pursue), deciding price – basically how much dependency will there be on Del team.

[Smart24x7]: These decisions will be taken by HO team based on viability of the account and
will be consulted with partner.

AT (w.r.t. Section 3e/f): During initial days wouldn’t it make sense to include “e” & “f” as well in the R&R
given “g” & “h” are natural outcomes if one is involved in “e” & “f”.
[Smart24x7]: We will handhold Partner for first Implementation and in second implementation the e&f will
become part of your role (which includes monitoring & review the implementation and operations resource
for set of customers)
AT (w.r.t Section 4): Updations
[Smart24x7]: We have revised the percent which is tapering down y-o-y and effectively, they increased
from original/initial offer.
