DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF FMFS Clause Samples

This may include providing certain services, maintaining standards of performance, adhering to timelines, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws or regulations. For example, FMFS might be responsible for delivering reports, managing accounts, or offering customer support as outlined in the contract.
