+Exemption from strict API response validation
+=============================================
+
+Vendors of commercial NFVI products may have extended the Nova API to support
+proprietary add-on features. These additions can cause Nova Tempest API tests
+to fail due to unexpected data in API responses. In order to resolve this
+transparently in the context of OVP, a temporary exemption process has been
+created. More information on the exemption can be found in section
+:ref:`dovetail-exemption_process_api_response_validation`.
