The Service Provider shall provide secure access to an online web-accessed system interface/dashboard to facilitate the placing of orders/instructions (noting also these may be placed by email and/telephone), tracking progress, transmitting and approving advertisements, and if possible to view and download various performance information and Management Information (MI) etc. The system must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days every week (or as close to this as reasonably possible). There shall be no commitment to commission Services nor guarantee of a minimum or any volume or value of work; nor any exclusivity with the Service Provider in relation to these Services.
