SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia said on Monday it would receive its first batch of potential COVID-19 vaccines in January 2021, as the country’s virus hotspot said the number of new daily infections fell to a 10-week low.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that his government has signed a manufacturing deal with CSL Ltd (CSL.AX) to produce AstraZeneca (AZN.L) and the Oxford University COVID-19 vaccine, with which in January and February 2021 There are 3.8 million doses delivered.

Known as AZD1222, the AstraZeneca vaccine is undergoing late-stage clinical trials in the UK, Brazil and South Africa.

In August, Australia said it would buy the AstraZeneca vaccine, but in August CSL said it was prioritizing its rival vaccines.

This hurdle was overcome when Australia said on Monday that it had agreed to purchase CSL’s alternative COVID-19 vaccine if the trial was successful.

The agreement came after the state of Victoria in Australia said 41 cases of COVID-19 had been detected in the last 24 hours, an increase from 63 cases reported a day earlier and the lowest one-day increase since 26 June.

Australia’s second most populous state has been the center of a second wave, now accounting for approximately 75% of the country’s 26,320 cases and 90% of 762 deaths.

The southeastern state imposed a strict lockout in its capital Melbourne on Sunday until 28 September, as the daily infection rate had slowly declined more than expected.

Upholding Business Integrity: A Service Provider’s Stand on Payment Delays

Published

A Case Study from IDigitalAKKI Media’s Experience with Living Advantage, Inc.

In the realm of digital services, timely payment is as crucial as the quality of the service provided. IDigitalAKKI Media, a prominent digital marketing firm specializing in advertising service creation, recently faced a challenging situation with a client, Living Advantage, Inc., underscoring the importance of adhering to payment agreements in business dealings.

The client, represented by Katie from Living Advantage, Inc., agreed to a clear payment term set by IDigitalAKKI Media: immediate payment upon service completion. However, after the service was delivered, the client failed to fulfill their payment obligation, repeatedly postponing it under various pretexts. Each promise of “payment will be made by end of the day” led to another and another delay.

As Aakash Kumar Jha, the Founder and Director, faced repeated delays, he was forced to address the issue more sternly. The continual postponements not only affected IDigitalAKKI Media’s operations but also threatened their reputation and financial standing. After extending the deadline multiple times in good faith, the company had no choice but to take definitive actions to protect their interests, including the removal of the delivered service and starting legal proceedings if necessary.

This situation serves as a stark reminder of the challenges service providers face and the need for strict adherence to contractual obligations. It highlights the necessity for businesses to manage agreements diligently and enforce terms to maintain operational integrity and trust within the industry.

By sharing this experience, IDigitalAKKI Media aims to advocate for stronger adherence to business ethics and prompt payment practices, promoting a healthier, more reliable business environment for all parties involved.

The Skinny Confidential/IDigitalAKKI Media – Unsettled Payments: A Lesson in Professionalism

Published

on

In the fast-paced world of digital services, collaboration is key to achieving successful outcomes. However, there are instances when a seemingly smooth project takes an unexpected turn, leaving one party in a challenging situation.

Recently, our company (IDigitalAKKI Media) had the privilege of working with Lauryn Evarts Bosstick (The Skinny Confidential), a prominent figure in the digital entrepreneurship sphere. The project involved the creation and launch of Lauryn’s Wikipedia page, a task we undertook with enthusiasm and dedication.

As part of our standard operating procedure, we communicated the importance of settling an advance payment before initiating the project. Despite a mutual understanding, unforeseen circumstances with their preferred payment method, PayPal, led to complications. To accommodate, we provided alternative payment options, including bank transfers within the same country for added convenience.

Regrettably, even with our flexibility and willingness to work through challenges, the payment remains outstanding. Despite numerous attempts to communicate and find a resolution, our emails have gone unanswered.

This scenario raises questions about professionalism and commitment to financial agreements. In an industry that thrives on collaboration and trust, it is disheartening when a project’s successful completion is overshadowed by unresolved financial matters.

It is crucial to recognize the impact such situations can have on service providers, not just in terms of financial loss but also in terms of the strain it places on the professional relationship. This experience serves as a reminder of the importance of clear communication, mutual respect, and honoring financial commitments in collaborative endeavors.

As we navigate through this situation, our commitment to providing quality services remains unwavering. We hope this incident sparks a broader conversation about the importance of fair and timely financial practices in the digital business landscape.
