From Brief to Warranty
Six steps. One master contract. Every scope after signs faster.
Structured intake, transparent quotation, single signatory. The framework designed for enterprise procurement.
GSSC Integrated Corporation · Chapter III · 2026
GSSC operates under a single-signatory framework: one Client Master Services Agreement per client, with individual scopes referencing that master through purchase orders, notices to proceed, or statements of work. This chapter sets out the six-step flow from first Letter of Intent to warranty coverage, the CMSA framework, our two payment tiers, warranty posture, and tax and legal footprint. Every scope quoted follows this sequence; every countersignature triggers execution.
From LOI to Warranty.
-
LOI · Enquiry
A Letter of Intent, Request for Quotation, or direct scope brief. The client signals interest; GSSC responds with a scoping call to define the perimeter of work.
Instrument: LOI · RFQ · Scope Brief -
Scope Brief
GSSC issues or receives a written scope brief detailing the deliverables, timeline, and constraints. This is the document quotations reference.
Instrument: Scope Brief document -
Quotation Issued
A scope-specific quotation issued on GSSC letterhead, Non-VAT (Sec. 116 NIRC), with 30-day validity. Line-item pricing, delivery lead time, warranty terms, and payment schedule per tier.
Instrument: Quotation (Non-VAT) · 30-day validity -
NTP / CMSA Execution
Client countersignature triggers Notice to Proceed. If this is a first engagement, the Client Master Services Agreement is executed alongside. Subsequent scopes add to the same master through PO, NTP, or SOW.
Instrument: NTP · CMSA · PO / NTP / SOW for subsequent scopes -
Delivery & Turnover
Scope execution against the quoted schedule. Progress reporting per client preference (weekly, milestone, or on-request). Turnover on scope-specific completion criteria.
Instrument: Progress reports · Turnover certificate -
Warranty & Service
Warranty coverage as stated in the quotation. Standard exclusions cover consumables, misuse, and non-conforming site conditions. Service response tiered by scope.
Instrument: Warranty certificate · Service SLA
One master. Many scopes.
The Client Master Services Agreement (CMSA) is executed once per client. It sets the operating framework — governing law, dispute resolution, confidentiality, non-circumvention, force-majeure, and general commercial terms. Individual scopes reference this master through Purchase Orders, Notices to Proceed, or Statements of Work.
Why one master, many scopes? Because negotiating a full contract every time a scope changes costs time and lawyer fees. The CMSA does the heavy lifting once. Every subsequent scope becomes a short PO or NTP referencing the master. This structure is designed for enterprise procurement — hospitality chains, retail programs, and estate clients all recognize it.
Two tiers, clear rules.
| Tier | Threshold | Terms |
|---|---|---|
| Tier A | ≥ PHP 1,000,000 | 50% downpayment on NTP · Net 30 balance on commissioning |
| Tier B | < PHP 1,000,000 | Net 30 from delivery · No downpayment |
Tier assignment is set at quotation. Multi-scope programs may be assigned Tier A even if individual scopes fall below the threshold — coordinated as a program.
All amounts final. Non-VAT under Section 116 NIRC (8% percentage tax). No hidden add-ons. Any variation order priced against the master schedule.
Scope-specific. Site-conditioned.
Warranty terms are stated per scope in the applicable quotation. Coverage typically spans 12 months for consumables and installation, 24 months for motorized and mechanical assemblies, and asset-life for structural elements.
Standard exclusions cover consumables, misuse, and non-conforming site conditions. Warranty response is tiered — critical response within 24 hours, standard within 5 business days.
Registered. Compliant. Anchored.
GSSC is Non-VAT under Section 116 of the NIRC, exercising the 8% percentage tax option. All quotations are final and VAT-neutral. No output VAT is charged; no input VAT can be claimed. This is expressly stated on every quotation and invoice.
Governing law: Republic of the Philippines. Venue for dispute: courts of Iloilo City. Dispute resolution follows mediation, then arbitration under the 2020 Revised ADR Rules (A.M. No. 20-06-01-SC). BIR ATP Authority to Print Invoices in process; interim invoicing per BIR administrative order.
