�山ǿ�� Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

��

�山ǿ�� has entered into a commercial relationship with a third-party provider of licenses, goods or services referred to as the Company. This relationship, which may be evidenced by a PO, Single-Use Contract, or a Master Contract as described below, is governed by these base terms and conditions.

��

These base terms and conditions (which may also be referred to as the “base terms” or “Base Terms”) describe �山ǿ��’s minimum requirements for a vendor or service provider and may be attached to different types of commercial contracts, as follows:

1.1 If �山ǿ�� engages the Company by issuing a PO referencing these base terms by a URL and there is no other contract between the parties related to the subject matter of the PO, these base terms and any Attachments are incorporated into the PO and together comprise a Contract referred to as a “PO-Based Contract”.

1.2 If �山ǿ�� enters into an engagement with the Company by attaching these base terms to an Order or referencing these base terms by URL in an Order (other than a PO), these base terms and any Attachments are incorporated into the Order and together comprise a Contract referred to as a “Single-Use Contract”. A Single-Use Contract is effective when the Order is signed by both parties.

1.3 If �山ǿ�� and Company agree to terms governing one or more present or future Orders, these base terms and any Attachments and Orders referencing the Contract are incorporated into a Contract Cover Sheet and together comprise a Contract referred to as a “Master Contract”. A Master Contract is effective when the Contract Cover Sheet is signed by both parties.

1.4 If �山ǿ�� issues a PO under a Master Contract or Single-Use Contract, the PO describes the quantity, nature, and price of the Goods and Services identified in the PO and the PO’s base terms linked by URL do not amend the Master Contract or Single-Use Contract.

1.5 If the parties (or their Affiliates) execute separate contracts that govern legal, regulatory, corporate responsibility, and industry requirements that �山ǿ�� requires vendors to comply with whether or not in the context of vendor relationships (each a “Corporate Responsibility Contract”), the Corporate Responsibility Contracts govern this Contract to the extent applicable and, in the event of a conflict between this Contract and a Corporate Responsibility Contract, the Corporate Responsibility Contract will govern. If there is a conflict between Corporate Responsibility Contracts, the conflict will be resolved in the manner that permits �山ǿ�� to satisfy its legal, ethical, and commercial requirements and best practices.

1.6 If there is a conflict between the parts of this Contract: (A) an Attachment controls over these base terms; and (B) these base terms and any Attachments, respectively, control over any Order, Contract Cover Sheet, or PO.

1.7 Capitalized terms that are used but not otherwise defined in these base terms have the meaning assigned in the Definitions section. This Contract is not an exclusive arrangement. �山ǿ�� is permitted to negotiate and enter contracts with any person for the same or similar activities.

This section applies only to a PO-Based Contract. The PO is an offer to Company from �山ǿ�� to purchase Goods and Services described in the PO subject to these base terms and any Attachments. �山ǿ�� is permitted to cancel the PO, in whole or in part, before Company accepts the offer. The Contract is formed when Company accepts the offer. Company can accept the offer when it (a) expressly accepts the PO, (b) commences performance of any of the Goods and Services in the PO, or (c) fails to provide to �山ǿ�� a written rejection or a written counteroffer within 5 days after the Company’s receipt of the PO. By accepting the offer, the Company agrees that no Company terms and conditions apply to the Goods and Services and any such terms included with the Goods and Services are void. The Company acknowledges and agrees that �山ǿ�� would not engage the Company under any terms other than these base terms. If the PO refers to a project proposal or similar document from the Company, the reference will be limited to the description and quantity of Goods and Services described in the document if included in the PO.

Company will provide the services described in and subject to the Contract. The Company acknowledges that �山ǿ�� expects exceptional service, quality, professionalism and support from its vendors, and the Company must therefore provide services in accordance with the highest standards in its industry. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in the Contract, Company must perform its Contract obligations entirely within the United States and must not send or make available outside the United States any �山ǿ�� information. This section describes the Company’s minimum obligations with respect to services. An Attachment may provide additional or different terms for services (for example, a Master Services Attachment).

4.1 Company will provide the licenses described in and subject to the Contract. An Order will provide the license terms for any licensed materials, but if Company provides its intellectual property to �山ǿ�� and no license is specified, Company hereby grants to �山ǿ�� a worldwide, non-sublicenseable, fully paid, royalty free license for �山ǿ��, its Affiliates, and its third party service providers to use the intellectual property to fulfill the purposes of this Contract and solely for the benefit of �山ǿ�� as long as such third party service providers are bound to confidentiality provisions no less stringent than those in the Confidentiality section of this Contract.

4.2 �山ǿ�� and Company, respectively, own their previously existing or independently created intellectual property and retains their rights to third party intellectual property in their possession. Company assigns to �山ǿ�� and will perform all actions necessary to perfect the assignment of, each deliverable and all intellectual property rights to any deliverables under the Contract. If protectable by copyright, Company and �山ǿ�� agree that deliverables are “works made for hire” in favor of �山ǿ�� within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act of 1976. If an Order provides that Company will retain intellectual property rights to materials it creates for �山ǿ��, Company hereby grants to �山ǿ�� an exclusive right to the intellectual property for 3 years after its acceptance by �山ǿ��.

4.3 If Company incorporates its intellectual property into a deliverable, Company grants to �山ǿ�� a perpetual, worldwide, assignable license for �山ǿ�� and its third-party service providers to use that intellectual property in a manner consistent with �山ǿ��'s use of the deliverable as described in the Contract (or, at minimum, in a commercially reasonable manner).

4.4 If �山ǿ�� provides any of its property to the Company, the Company is permitted to use such material only to perform its Goods and Services and for no other purpose whatsoever. If the Goods and Services include, for example, the use of �山ǿ��’s trademarks to create materials for the public (including �山ǿ�� personnel), the Company must seek �山ǿ��’s approval of each such use.

4.5 Company owns any feedback or suggestions made by �山ǿ�� only if �山ǿ�� submits the feedback or suggestion using a feedback form (such as on a website or within an application) except that (a) the feedback and suggestions are provided "AS IS" and �山ǿ�� disclaims all representations and warranties relating thereto, and (b) �山ǿ�� retains all intellectual property rights with respect to its confidential information. �山ǿ�� retains all rights to any feedback or suggestions submitted any other way.

Company will deliver the goods described in and subject to this Contract. Title to goods will pass to �山ǿ�� upon the earlier of (1) delivery at �山ǿ��’s designated facility or destination or (2) payment. Company will bear risk of loss until delivery at �山ǿ��’s designated facility or destination. Company will include a packing slip clearly identifying this Contract (and applicable PO number, if any) with each shipment of goods. �山ǿ��’s count of delivered goods will be deemed final and conclusive for goods delivered without a packing slip. Company will secure the lowest transportation and insurance rates and fulfill any carrier requirements. �山ǿ�� will have no obligation to pay drayage, boxing or packing charges except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in the Contract. Company will be responsible for shipping costs for goods that are not shipped as provided for in this Contract, and �山ǿ�� is permitted to (a) deduct these costs from amounts it owes to Company or (b) require Company to pay the costs directly. In the absence of specific instructions, Company will ship goods using the most economical mode of commercially reasonable transportation available consistent with the time and handling requirements in the Contract. This section describes the Company’s minimum obligations with respect to goods. An Attachment may provide additional or different requirements for certain Goods and Services (for example, a Master Purchase Attachment).

�山ǿ�� has the right to accept or reject Goods and Services. �山ǿ�� is permitted to reject Goods and Services that �山ǿ�� determines in its sole discretion do not to strictly conform to �山ǿ��’s Requirements. Payment for any part of the Goods and Services does not constitute acceptance by �山ǿ��. At �山ǿ��’s request, Company will promptly correct or replace nonconforming Goods and Services at Company’s sole cost until the Goods and Services are conforming. If Company does not promptly correct or replace nonconforming Goods and Services, Company must refund all amounts paid for the nonconforming Goods and Services and reimburse (or, at �山ǿ��’s request, offset the amounts against any other amounts owed by �山ǿ��) �山ǿ��’s costs to correct or replace the nonconforming Goods and Services. �山ǿ�� has the right to return rejected Goods and Services or Goods and Services supplied in excess of quantities stated in this Contract at Company’s expense. �山ǿ�� and Company will comply with the Testing and Acceptance Attachment, if attached.

�山ǿ�� is permitted to use licenses, goods, and services for �山ǿ��’s benefit and for the benefit of (a) any �山ǿ�� Affiliate, (b) any entity that is partly owned by �山ǿ�� or an Affiliate and for which �山ǿ�� Corporation or its wholly owned subsidiary is authorized to direct operations and bind to legal obligations, or (c) any entity that �山ǿ�� or a �山ǿ�� Affiliate manages pursuant to a management agreement. �山ǿ�� is permitted to also direct the Company to deliver Goods and Services to any of (a) – (c) (individually and collectively, “Service Recipients”).

8.1 Each party is required to hold the other party’s confidential information in confidence and will protect the other party’s confidential information using the level of care the party receiving confidential information (or creating confidential information on the other party’s behalf) would use to protect its own sensitive and confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care.

8.2 Each party is permitted use the other party's confidential information only for the purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Contract and will not use the information for any other purpose whatsoever.

8.3 Neither party will, without the written permission of the other party, disclose the other party's confidential information to any person who does not have a need to know the information to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Contract, or to any third party. Each party is permitted to disclose the confidential information of the other party only (a) as expressly permitted in writing by the other party, (b) in response to a lawful government order, and (c) as otherwise required by Law, and must in each case disclose only the minimum necessary confidential information. If a party is required to disclose confidential information by Law, it will, if permitted by Law, provide the other party with prompt written notice so that the other party can seek a protective order. Any person to whom the receiving party discloses the disclosing party’s confidential information must be bound by confidentiality terms no less stringent than those in this section.

8.4 A party will notify the other party of a breach of this section or any other improper disclosure of confidential information within 24 hours after it has reason to believe the breach or disclosure occurred.

8.5 A violation of this section will cause irreparable harm that cannot be adequately compensated by a judgment for damages and the damages would in any event be difficult to calculate. The non-breaching party is entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this section without any requirement to post bond.

8.6 The receiving party will return or destroy (and certify destruction of) the confidential information of the other party within 30 days after the termination or expiration of the Contract. The receiving party will promptly notify the other party if the return or destruction of confidential information is impossible or impracticable. The receiving party may retain confidential information of the other party in the receiving party’s customary data backups subject to the terms of this Contract even if the Contract is terminated or expires.

8.7 Confidential information of a party includes any information the party provides to the other party (or that the other party creates) in connection with this Contract that a reasonable person in the disclosing party's position would deem confidential, including derivative works, subsets, summaries and other materials incorporating confidential information. Except for any personally identifiable information, Confidential Information does not include information that is lawfully and without breach of any confidentiality obligation: (a) already known to or otherwise in the possession of a party at the time of receipt from the other party; (b) available to the public; (c) obtained from a third party; or (d) independently developed by a party.

8.8 Even if the Contract is terminated or expires, the receiving party’s obligations under this section will continue (a) for 5 years after disclosure of the confidential information or (b) with respect to any trade secret or personally identifiable information, indefinitely.

8.9 The Company will implement and maintain at its sole cost information security, privacy and governance policies and practices that are, at minimum, appropriate for the requirements of this Confidentiality section and that comply with Law.

9.1 Prices set forth in this Contract are firm and not subject to change except as expressly provided otherwise in the Order. If Company replaces a Commitment with another, higher-priced good, deliverable, or service acceptable to �山ǿ��, the price in the Order for the replaced good, deliverable, or service will apply to the new good, deliverable, or service. Without limiting any of �山ǿ��’s other rights or remedies under this Contract, if Company replaces any Goods and Services with another good, deliverable, or service with reduced quality, functionality, or features, �山ǿ�� may at its sole discretion accept the Goods and Services and reduce fees equitably. Company warrants that prices for Goods and Services must be no greater than the lowest price Company offers to its customers for similar Goods and Services and will reduce its prices under this Contract correspondingly. �山ǿ��’s sole financial obligation for Goods and Services will be the fees described in this Contract.

9.2 Within 20 days after the earlier of completion and delivery of Goods and Services, or the end of each calendar month, Company will submit a complete and accurate invoice as directed in writing by �山ǿ��. �山ǿ�� will have no obligation to pay for Goods and Services for which an invoice is submitted more than 90 days after the charges are incurred. �山ǿ�� will have no obligation to pay, and Vendor will not, directly or indirectly, request reimbursement or charge �山ǿ�� for, travel and related expenses or any other expense not required to perform any Goods and Services. Any permitted expenses must comply with �山ǿ��’s then-applicable policies and procedures.

9.3 �山ǿ�� will pay complete and correct undisputed invoices within 60 days after �山ǿ��’s receipt of the invoice. If �山ǿ�� disputes an invoice, Company must issue separate replacement invoices for the undisputed and disputed portions, and �山ǿ�� will pay the invoice for the undisputed portion in accordance with this provision. �山ǿ�� is permitted to withhold payment of the disputed invoice (or the replacement invoice issued for the disputed portion) without penalty or interest, and the parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute as soon as practicable and continue to perform their obligations in this Contract. If the dispute is not resolved informally within 30 days after �山ǿ��’s notice thereof, �山ǿ�� or Company will then be permitted to pursue their respective rights or remedies available under this Contract, at law or equity. If attached, this dispute is subject to the Dispute Resolution Attachment. �山ǿ�� is permitted to set off claims or amounts that Company or its Affiliates owe under the Contract against any amounts �山ǿ�� or its Affiliates owe under this Contract or any other contracts with Company or its Affiliates.

Applicable state and local sales, use and other similar taxes, and any customs duties, excise tax, value added tax, processing tax or any levy or imposition which Company now or hereafter will be required to pay to any authoritative governmental body as a result of this Contract or the Goods and Services, on behalf of �山ǿ��, when identified as a line item, will be added to all applicable invoices and �山ǿ�� shall be responsible for reimbursement to Company of any such taxes relating to undisputed invoices. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, it is the Company’s responsibility to remit such applicable taxes to the State jurisdiction as required by law, if Company has invoiced and collected such taxes from �山ǿ��. Additionally, �山ǿ�� will be responsible for any personal property taxes imposed on all materials owned by �山ǿ��, including both inventory and finished, products, goods, and services, and held at Company’s plants or warehouses, all as determined by the transfer of title for finished goods. If upon audit Company is assessed additional taxes in connection with this Contract or the Goods and Services, Company reserves the right to invoice �山ǿ�� retroactively for such additional assessment for taxes, but not interest and penalties. �山ǿ�� reserves the right to require that any such invoiced additional taxes be appealed through the respective authoritative governmental body’s administrative and judicial processes. The cost of such an appeal will be borne by Company if the assessed additional tax is reduced, and by �山ǿ�� if the assessed additional tax is upheld. �山ǿ�� may provide Company with an exemption certificate, prepared as per applicable law, or any other evidence reasonably acceptable to Company that any such taxes do not apply to products, goods and other Goods and Services provided to �山ǿ�� by Company. If any Goods and Services or portion thereof believed to be exempt from taxes based on such certificate, is determined subsequently to be taxable, �山ǿ�� shall hold Company harmless from the tax liability assessed and pay the tax due, including any interests and penalty. �山ǿ�� will not be responsible for any taxes levied or imposed on the gross or net income of Company. In no event will �山ǿ��’s obligation exceed the relevant state statute of limitations on assessment of an applicable tax. Any income, franchise, gross receipts, or other taxes, whether related to, or imposed by employment withholding for Company’s personnel or Company’s property or not, and any associated penalties or interest, assessable under State law against the Company are the sole responsibility of the Company.

Company must provide reasonable assistance to �山ǿ�� or its designated agent to conduct audits. Any audit by �山ǿ�� will be conducted upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours and will be at �山ǿ��’s expense unless the audit reveals an overcharge of more than 5% for the audited Goods and Services or a material violation of Company’s obligations, in which event Company will promptly reimburse �山ǿ�� the reasonable cost of the audit and any identified overcharges and take other remediation activities required by �山ǿ��. �山ǿ��’s use of any third-party auditor that is a competitor of Company will be subject to Company’s prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If HNFS makes any inspection or test on the premises of the Seller, the Seller shall, without additional charge, provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of HNFS’ inspectors in the performance of their duties. All inspections and tests shall be performed in such manner as not to unduly delay the work. No inspection or test made prior to final inspection and acceptance shall relieve the Seller from responsibility for defects or other failures to meet the requirements of this Purchase Order.

10.��WARRANTY.
Seller warrants that Seller and its employees shall, in providing Goods hereunder, exercise the degree of skill, care and diligence consistent with industry standards in accordance with any and all requirements, specifications or drawings provided by HNFS, and that such Work will be suitable for the purpose intended.

However, in the event that the Goods deficiency affects the immediate health and safety of HNFS, it’s Client, or others, then HNFS shall have the right to direct re-performance and correction of the substandard Work by whatever means is most immediate, and such reasonable costs associated with said correction shall be the sole responsibility of Seller.

Any Work corrected as a consequence of this Article shall be subject to the same warranty as provided for the original Goods.

11.��Payment. Unless other payment provisions are specified elsewhere in this Purchase Order, payment shall be made upon the later of (i) final acceptance by HNFS of the Goods, or (ii) submission by Seller of a proper invoice. Payment for Goods does not constitute acceptance. HNFS will take advantage of any discounts incorporated elsewhere in this Purchase Order, or found on individual invoices, whichever discount is more favorable to HNFS. Delays in receiving invoice(s), errors or omissions on invoice(s), or lack of supporting documentation required by the terms of this Purchase Order, will be cause for HNFS to withhold payment without losing discount privileges. The first day of any discount period shall be the later of (i) the first working day of HNFS following final acceptance of the Goods, or (ii) HNFS’ receipt of a proper invoice. HNFS may make adjustments to amounts invoiced by Seller for shortages, rejection, or other failure to comply with the provisions of this Purchase Order.

In addition to any other rights HNFS may have under this Purchase Order, HNFS shall have a right of action against Seller for any breach of such warranty. Upon request by HNFS, Seller shall provide written certification of Seller’s invoices or claims in such terms, and with such signatures, as HNFS may prescribe; and HNFS may ignore any invoice or claim not so certified.
