General APROS Digital Services and Deliverables Assurance Policy

For APROS, it is appropriate to manage a transversal policy, but not to promise an identical guarantee for all services. A website developed from scratch, an audit, a pack of hours, a monthly support and a sublet license have different risks.

The policy must clearly separate four concepts:

ConceptWhat does it mean
ComplianceValidation that the deliverable corresponds to the approved scope.
WarrantyCorrection of defects attributable to work performed by APROS at no cost.
SupportAttention to operational requests, incidents or queries according to the contracted service.
EvolutionChanges, improvements or new needs that require estimation and prioritization.

This separation protects the customer and prevents a warranty from unintentionally becoming unlimited support.

The Peruvian Consumer Protection and Defense Code evaluates the suitability of a service by comparing what is offered with what is actually received. It also distinguishes legal, explicit and implicit guarantees. Therefore, it is important that APROS expressly indicates the scope, duration and conditions of its warranty, without incorporating unjustified limitations that denaturalize it.

Although APROS works mainly with companies, it should not be assumed that all their relationships are automatically outside this framework: the rule can also protect legal entities acting as final recipients and certain microentrepreneurs who face information asymmetry with respect to services outside their own line of business.

The following text should be reviewed by an attorney before incorporating it as a final contractual clause. However, it can already serve as a basis for quotations, attachments, onboarding and configuration of APROS Hub.


General service and digital deliverables assurance policy

Version: 1.0
Company: Go Web Studios S.A.C., commercially known as APROS
Effective date: [Complete].

1. Objective

This policy establishes the general conditions under which APROS deals with observations, defects or incidents related to the digital services and deliverables it develops, implements, configures or manages for its customers.

Its purpose is to provide clarity on APROS’ responsibilities, to protect the operational continuity of the digital assets involved and to differentiate the corrections covered by warranty from those requests that constitute support, maintenance, evolution or scope extension.

Scope of application

This policy applies, as applicable, to the following services:

The particular conditions indicated in the approved quotation, contract, delivery note or service level agreement prevail when they establish a more specific coverage.

3. Definitions

3.1. Deliverable

Verifiable outcome committed to by APROS as part of the approved scope. May consist of, but is not limited to, a designed view, implemented functionality, published site, executed configuration, prepared report, enabled integration or corrected issue.

3.2. Compliance

Confirmation that the deliverable reasonably corresponds to the approved scope and can be considered closed for operational, documentary and invoicing purposes.

Conformance does not waive the customer’s right to subsequently report technical defects not detectable during the initial inspection that are covered by the applicable warranty.

3.3. Defect covered by warranty

Verifiable misbehavior, omission or noncompliance that:

  1. is related to a deliverable executed by APROS;
  2. contradicts the approved scope, acceptance criteria or evidence of closure;
  3. is reproducible or can be reasonably supported; and
  4. is attributable to the implementation, configuration or intervention carried out by APROS.

Mere customer expectation or subjective preference does not constitute a defect. A subjective preference, undocumented expectation, post-approval change of judgment, request for improvement, additional optimization, or requirement not contemplated in the approved scope does not constitute a defect covered by warranty.

3.4. Evolutionary application

Requirement that seeks to modify, extend or improve the approved deliverable, including new functionalities, changes in criteria, new integrations, subsequent adjustments due to preferences, redesigns or adaptations motivated by new customer needs.

Evolutionary requests do not constitute defects and must be estimated, prioritized and, where appropriate, quoted separately.

The guarantee presupposes a use reasonably consistent with the scope, architecture and conditions informed during the contracting. For example, the use of more users than those informed in the quotation.

3.5. Dependence on third parties

Service, platform, infrastructure, plugin, API, license, account, provider or component whose operation is not directly dependent on APROS, although it may be part of the customer’s digital ecosystem.

3.6. Customer preference

Request related to tastes, aesthetic criteria, personal preferences or expectations not previously documented, not involving a breach of the approved scope or a defect attributable to APROS.

Customer preferences may result in adjustments, improvements or new requests, but do not in themselves constitute a defect covered by warranty.

Examples

3.7. Observation

Comment, suggestion or request identified during the review of a deliverable that may result in a correction, clarification, improvement or scope change.

The mere existence of an observation does not necessarily imply the existence of a defect covered by warranty.

3.8. Incidence

Situation reported by the customer that affects or could affect the expected performance of a digital asset, deliverable or service.

Any incident will be evaluated by APROS to determine if it corresponds to warranty, support, third party dependency, evolutionary request or additional requirement.

3.10. Temporary solution

A corrective measure implemented to reduce the impact of an issue while a definitive solution is being developed, validated or deployed.

The implementation of a temporary solution does not imply the automatic closure of the incident when a definitive correction is still pending.

3.11. Final solution

Correction implemented to eliminate the identified cause of an issue or defect covered by warranty and restore the expected performance of the deliverable in accordance with the approved scope.

3.12. Reasonable use

Use of the deliverable or service within the operating conditions, volume of use, architecture, infrastructure and purpose informed during contracting.

The warranty will be evaluated considering the reasonably foreseen use of the deliverable and the technical limitations existing at the time of its implementation.

3.13. Recurrent incidence

An incident that reappears in whole or in part after having been previously corrected or closed.

Recurring incidents may be subject to root cause analysis and internal corrective actions aimed at preventing recurrence.

3.14. Acceptance criteria

Condition, functionality, behavior or result expressly defined in the quotation, proposal, contract, project documentation or validation evidence, used to determine whether a deliverable meets the approved scope.

4. Principles of the guarantee

APROS will apply this policy in accordance with the following principles:

  1. Traceability: The evaluation will be performed by reference to the approved quotation, committed deliverables, documented agreements, evidence of closure and change history.
  2. Proportional responsibility: APROS shall assume the correction of defects attributable to its intervention.
  3. Transparency: When an issue is not covered, APROS will explain the reason and propose the appropriate mechanism to address it.
  4. Operational continuity: Incidents affecting critical processes will be prioritized considering their impact.
  5. Continuous improvement: Relevant findings may be recorded as lessons learned, risks or opportunities for improvement within the APROS quality management system.

5. General Coverage

During the applicable warranty period, APROS will correct defects attributable to its work that prevent a deliverable from performing in accordance with the approved scope at no additional cost.

The correction may include, as appropriate:

The warranty covers the restitution of the expected performance of the deliverable. It does not automatically cover additional improvements, redesigns or extensions.

6. Warranty periods according to the type of service

Unless a quotation expressly indicates a different condition, the following criteria shall apply:

Type of service or deliverableStandard warranty periodBeginning of the period
Website, ecommerce, custom software or developed functionality30 calendar daysFrom the delivery or publication of the deliverable

6.1. Extended technical warranty

A quotation may include an extended technical warranty of up to 6 months for non-obvious defects related to the original development performed by APROS.

This extended coverage must be expressly stated in the commercial proposal. It is not equivalent to permanent support, preventive maintenance or functional evolution.

6.2. Recurring services

In the services of digital accompaniment or monthly maintenance:

7. Review and compliance period

The client will have a period of 5 working days from the delivery of each milestone or deliverable to report visible observations related to the approved scope, unless the quotation establishes a different period.

When no comments are received within the deadline, APROS may consider the deliverable operationally closed to continue with the project, manage invoicing or initiate the next stage.

This operational closure:

8. Warranty Exclusions

The warranty does not cover the following cases, unless expressly contracted:

8.1. Changes in scope

8.2. External interventions

Where an external intervention affects only a portion of the digital asset, the exclusion shall be reasonably limited to the compromised components and shall not automatically invalidate the entire warranty.

8.3. Third-party dependencies

APROS may provide support to diagnose, escalate or resolve these incidents when the contracted service includes it or when additional attention is approved.

8.4. Computer security

The warranty does not imply a promise of absolute invulnerability against attacks, future vulnerabilities, malware, unauthorized access or third party incidents.

APROS shall be responsible for the correct application of the security measures expressly included in the approved scope and shall communicate the relevant risks detected during its intervention.

8.5. Commercial or positioning results

Unless expressly stated otherwise, APROS does not warrant:

APROS guarantees the correct execution of committed deliverables, not business results that depend on external factors or subsequent decisions by the client.

8.6. Customer misuse or noncompliance

The warranty does not cover incidents caused by:

9. Procedure for requesting the guarantee

The customer must register the incident through the channel defined for the service, preferably APROS Hub, email or the agreed follow-up mechanism.

The application should include, where possible:

APROS will register the request, verify its relationship to the approved scope and determine if it is appropriate to be addressed as:

  1. warranty;
  2. support included;
  3. incidence associated with a third party;
  4. evolutionary request; or
  5. additional requirement subject to estimation.

Liability is limited to the amount paid

10. Deadlines for attention

APROS will confirm receipt of a warranty request within 1 business day.

The initial assessment and coverage classification will be communicated within a maximum of 5 working days, unless the criticality of the incident requires priority intervention or the diagnosis depends on pending access, information or validations from the client or third parties.

CriticalityExampleResponse time
CritiqueEcommerce down4 working hours
HighForms not working1 business day
MediaMajor visual error3 working days
DownloadMinor adjustments5 working days

The resolution timeframe will depend on the complexity, level of impact, dependencies involved and the need to run tests before issuing a correction.

When a specific service level agreement is applicable, the times indicated in such agreement shall prevail.

Formal complaints that are subject to the Consumer Protection and Defense Code will be handled in accordance with the applicable legal deadline. The updated version of the Code establishes a maximum of 15 non-extendable business days to respond to consumer complaints.

11. Effects of a correction

When an incident is covered by warranty:

12. Customer Responsibilities

To facilitate proper care, the client should:

13. Subleased services

15. Prevalence of documents

In the event of a difference between documents, the following order of priority shall apply:

  1. Signed contract.
  2. Approved quotation.
  3. Service level agreement or specific annex.
  4. Act of delivery or conformity.
  5. Present general policy.

The mandatory provisions of the applicable regulations shall prevail over any contractual terms and conditions.
