Delays in supplying these may affect the project schedule.
Platforms and third-party services
Websites may rely on services such as Squarespace, Shopify, domains, email, apps, plugins, payment providers and hosting platforms.
Clients are responsible for third-party subscriptions, fees and terms unless agreed otherwise.
