Where Supplier qualifies as a micro or small enterprise under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006, Buyer will pay undisputed invoices within the time periods prescribed by that Act. Payment of an invoice will not constitute Acceptance and is subject to adjustment for errors, shortages, defects, or other failure to meet the requirements of the Agreement. Buyer shall have the right to withhold payment of any invoiced amounts that are disputed in good faith until the parties reach agreement with respect to such disputed amounts, and such withholding shall not be deemed a breach of the Agreement nor shall any interest be charged on such amounts. Buyer agrees to pay the balance of the undisputed amounts on any invoice that is the subject of any dispute within the time periods specified herein.

Where TDS is deducted, Buyer will provide Supplier with the prescribed TDS certificate within the time required by Law. Where Supplier is a non-resident and the supply is subject to Goods and Services Tax under the reverse charge mechanism, Buyer will self-assess and remit the applicable GST. Supplier will provide any Tax Residency Certificate, Form 41, or other documentation required for Buyer to apply a reduced withholding rate under an applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement.
- Import duties, tariffs, and similar charges are Supplier’s responsibility unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Purchase Order. If Buyer provides Supplier with a valid exemption certificate, Supplier will not collect the taxes covered by such certificate. For imports into India, Supplier will provide Buyer with all documentation required for customs clearance, including applicable HSN/SAC codes, country of origin certificates, and any import licenses or authorizations required by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Supplier will bear all Basic Customs Duty, Social Welfare Surcharge, and any anti-dumping or safeguard duties applicable to the Goods.

A Change Order does not apply to Goods or Services fully delivered before the date of the Change Order. If any Change Order causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, Supplier’s performance, an equitable adjustment may be made in the price or delivery schedule, provided that Buyer agrees to such adjustment in writing. Supplier will continue performance of the Agreement during any Change Order negotiation unless Buyer directs otherwise in writing.
