Supplier agrees to be bound by and to comply with all Terms and Conditions set forth herein for the goods, deliverables, products, software, personal property, and/or applicable related services (the “Deliverables”) described in the purchase order (this or the “Order”).  The Terms and Conditions shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Order and shall constitute the only terms and conditions thereto, and accordingly the sale of such Deliverables will be governed exclusively by the Terms and Conditions; notwithstanding, these Terms and Conditions shall be superseded in the event a separate agreement, intended to govern the purchase of Deliverables, has been executed between RC and Supplier. Acknowledgement of this Order, including without limitation, by the provision of the Deliverables called for by this Order or acceptance of payment, shall be deemed acceptance of this Order including without limitation, the Terms and Conditions. The Terms and Conditions shall take precedence over any other document connected with this transaction unless such alternative terms are expressly agreed to in a separate written agreement executed by RC and Supplier. Any terms and conditions proposed by Supplier in acknowledging or accepting the Order which are different from or in addition to the Terms and Conditions shall not be binding upon RC and shall be void and of no effect. 

PRICE AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

To be valid, Supplier’s invoices must contain RC’s Order number and a full description of the Deliverables, the quantity, unit price, services price and total price, and the delivery address. Subject to Section 9, valid Supplier invoices will become due for payment by RC, net sixty (60) days from RC’s receipt of the Deliverables or the date of receipt of a correct invoice (whichever is later) unless otherwise indicated on the face of the Order. The date of invoice will not predate the date of delivery of the relevant Deliverables. Supplier will send invoices to RC’s address designated on the face of the Order or to such other address as RC may specify in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Order, (a) invoices submitted more than six (6) months after RC’s receipt of Deliverables will be rejected and no payment shall be made and (b) RC shall have no liability whatsoever under the Order for amounts due under any such invoice. Currency shall be in United States dollars unless otherwise identified on the face of the Order.

  1. TAXES. Amounts payable to Supplier under this Agreement are exclusive of any transaction taxes (including sales, use, consumption, value-added and similar transaction taxes) that may be imposed in connection with fees received by Supplier pursuant to this Agreement. For any payments made under this Agreement, Supplier may charge and RC will pay applicable transaction taxes, provided that such transaction taxes are stated on the original invoice related to the Service rendered, that Supplier timely provides to RC and Supplier’s invoices state such transaction taxes separately. RC may provide Supplier with an exemption certificate or equivalent information acceptable to the relevant taxing authority, in which case, Supplier will not charge and or collect the transaction taxes covered by such certificate. RC may deduct or withhold any withholding taxes that RC may be legally obligated to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable to Supplier under the Agreement, and payment to Supplier as reduced by such deductions or withholdings will constitute full payment and settlement of amounts payable to Supplier under the Agreement. If a tax authority subsequently finds that RC’s withholding tax payment was insufficient and requires additional payments, RC will make such payments and Supplier will reimburse RC for such additional withholding tax payments. Within a reasonable period, RC will provide Supplier with documentation evidencing its withholding tax payments.
