  1. The Parties agree to conclude a separate Project Proposal for each project to which the general conditions of this Agreement are applicable unless otherwise agreed.  In case of any conflict between this Agreement and the provisions of a Project Proposal, the former will prevail, except to the extent that the applicable Project Proposal expressly states an intent to modify the terms of the Agreement on a specific matter.  Each Project Proposal will include detailed information concerning a given project, including without limitation a description of the specific Services to be provided, (as applicable), and a budget related to the project, all of which will be signed by an authorised representative of each Party.
