20.2 Digital Delivery and Service Activation
The "delivery" of Clineeq Services constitutes the activation of your subscription account and the provision of access credentials. Digital delivery occurs as follows:

- Subdomain Activation: Your dedicated subdomain (e.g., yourpractice.clineeq.in) is configured and made accessible
- Access Credentials: Login credentials and account access information are delivered to your registered email address
- Service Availability: All subscribed features and functionalities are made available through the web platform
20.3 Delivery Timeline
Delivery of the Services is typically instantaneous or completed within the following timeframes:
- Standard Activation: Within two (2) hours of successful payment confirmation for standard subscription plans
- Custom Domain Setup: If you opt for a custom domain, DNS propagation may require up to forty-eight (48) hours, though the Services remain accessible via your clineeq.in subdomain during this period
- Enterprise Onboarding: For enterprise plans requiring custom configuration or data migration, delivery timelines will be specified in your service agreement or order form
