When to use it.
Project Handover and Acceptance is a 10-page A4 template for closing out a website or app build properly. It records every deliverable as a check-mark list, the acceptance test results by area, known issues with fix dates, and the accounts and access handed over (described, never the passwords). Numbered clauses cover training, a 60-day warranty, support options with response targets, the transfer of intellectual property on payment, and a final invoice reconciled against change requests. It ends with a confirmation checklist, a 'Handover complete' seal and e-signature blocks for both parties.
