2. PERFORMANCE/ WARRANTIES
Supplier warrants and undertakes that the Deliverables will be free from defects
in material and workmanship and will conform to any specifications or
requirements in the Agreement or agreed upon by the Parties in writing. Supplier
warrants that if any Deliverable(s) fails to meet any such specifications or
requirements or is otherwise nonconforming, Supplier will, at its own cost and
expense and within 10 days of its receipt of written notice of such failure, either

corrective plan is not accepted by Accenture, Accenture will have the option to
require Supplier to: (i) provide a full refund; or (ii) promptly replace or reperform
the Deliverable(s) at no charge. All Deliverables will be subject to an inspection
and acceptance by Accenture, even if the Parties have not set forth any
specifications or requirements regarding the Deliverables in the Agreement.
3. DELIVERY
Prices will be based on delivery at the location specified by Accenture, with all
duties, tariffs, freight, insurance and other costs related to transportation and
delivery being the responsibility of Supplier. Title to and risk of loss/damage for
goods remain with Supplier until the goods have been delivered, inspected and
accepted by Accenture. Supplier is the importer and exporter of record. Supplier
agrees to provide free replacement of goods lost or damaged in transit, at no
additional charge, within 3 business days of receipt of notice from Accenture. For
Supplier's delivery of goods, time is of the essence. In the event Supplier does not
deliver goods on time, Accenture may terminate the Agreement as provided for
in Section 8.
4. PAYMENT, INVOICING, AUDIT AND TAXES
4.1 All prices are exclusive of VAT or similar taxes and will be in the official

Agreement; (ii) an explanation of the Deliverables provided during the period
covered by the invoice, including applicable purchase order number, invoice
number, invoice date, name of the requestor, description of the Deliverables and
the corresponding price; and (iii) if expense reimbursement is provided for in the
Agreement in relation to Supplier’s services, itemized expenses with receipts or

4.3 Accenture will make payment within 30 days after receipt of Supplier’s valid
original of invoice in accordance with the Agreement based on the Act of

Accenture money for any reason or if Accenture disputes the amount due in good

property. Accenture will pay such tax(es) in addition to the sums due under the
Agreement provided that Supplier itemizes them on a proper invoice. Accenture
reserves the right to request proof of payment if previously paid by Supplier. If
Accenture is required to withhold or deduct any taxes from any payment,
Accenture will not be required to “gross up” the amount of such payment and
will pay the total amount reflected on the invoice less the applicable withholding
taxes. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to minimize taxes to the extent
legally permissible. Each Party will provide and make available to the other Party
any resale certificates, treaty certifications and other exemption information
reasonably requested by the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
provided Accenture furnishes Supplier with a copy of a resale exemption
certificate, no sales taxes will be billed to Accenture.
