Last updated on October 23, 2019.

1. DESCRIPTION

This Appendix sets out the applicable terms which apply to the Collection Services to be provided by Moscord. All terms herein which are not defined in this Appendix shall have the definition attributed to them in the Supplier Agreement.

2. SERVICES

2.1 In the event Supplier concludes a binding contract between Supplier and Customer consisting part or all of Products set out in the Purchase Order (such binding contract referred to herein as the “Accepted Purchase Order” and the Products therein referred to as the “Transacted Products”), Supplier may offer to Moscord a contract to perform Collection Services (as defined below) (“Fees and Services Order”) in respect of the Transacted Products (“Offer to Provide Collection Services”). Moscord may in its sole and absolute discretion accept or reject such Offer to Provide Collection Services (an accepted Offer to Provide Collection Services shall be hereinafter referred to as “Accepted Service Request”). For the avoidance of doubt, Moscord is not obliged to provide any Collection Services in respect of any items which are not purchased by Customer from Supplier pursuant to an Accepted Purchase Order.

2.2 For the purposes of this Appendix, “Collection Services” means the performance of invoice collection services in accordance with the terms as agreed by the Parties subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Appendix. The terms and conditions of this Appendix shall be deemed to be incorporated into an Accepted Service Request.

2.3 Moscord may carry out the Collection Services using the mode and manner of collection customarily used by Moscord for the purpose of carrying out such Collection Service and may from time to time revise such mode and manner and/or establish such mode and manner exclusive to any particular Supplier and/or Customer. Except for the terms and conditions provided expressly herein in this Appendix, Moscord is not bound by any specific terms and conditions of such Accepted Service Request, including without limitation to collection instructions, whether or not such terms and conditions are: (a) implied or express; (b) stipulated to be accepted by virtue of Moscord’s acceptance of the Offer to Provide Collection Services; (c) stipulated to be accepted by certain conduct on Moscord’s part; or (d) otherwise stipulated to be binding on Moscord.

2.4 Notwithstanding and in addition to the above, any Party may without notice terminate with immediate effect any Accepted Service Requests where any of the following events have occurred: (a) petition for the insolvency or bankruptcy (as the case may be) of either Party being made; (b) issuance of a court order ordering any Party to be placed under receivership; (c) issuance of a court order placing any Party in liquidation; (d) petition or court process for any arrangement between any Party and its debtors and/or creditors being made.

2.5 SUPPLIER`S OBLIGATIONS. In respect of all Collection Services provided by MOSCORD:

(a) Supplier shall ensure that all reasonably necessary documents required for the Collection Services including, but without limitation to, a Fees and Services Order (if necessary) and invoices issued to Customer in relation to Transacted Products (“Invoices Issued”) irrespective of such Invoices Issued being issued by Moscord or not, are in Moscord’s possession in a timely manner.

(b) Supplier may, from time to time, request in writing that Moscord send reminders (“Payment Reminders”) to Customer for the payment of the Invoices Issued (“Request for Reminders”). Such Request for Reminders may include terms on how such reminder is to be made by Moscord. Moscord may in its sole and absolute discretion accept or reject such Request for Reminders.

(c) Supplier hereby warrants that all Invoices Issued provided to Moscord are true, accurate, complete and free of omissions and misrepresentation. Moscord shall not be obliged but shall be entitled to investigate whether the Invoices Issued provided to Moscord are true, accurate, complete and free of omission and misrepresentation.

3.7 In the event Moscord reasonably determines that there may be the potential of any cost, expense, damages, claim or any other loss (referred to in this clause 3.7 as “Relevant Losses”) to be suffered by Supplier, Moscord may (but is not obliged to) take all reasonable steps to mitigate the Relevant Losses including prosecuting claims against the party that is liable for such Relevant Losses and Supplier shall upon demand by Moscord promptly indemnify Moscord against all costs, damages or expenses, whatsoever, including counsel fees and other professional fees, which Moscord may sustain or incur in respect of such steps taken.
