PO terms and conditions

General Terms and Conditions for New Zealand

The terms and conditions set forth below shall govern the accompanying purchase order (“Purchase Order”) issued by Iron Mountain New Zealand Limited (“IM”) to the Vendor or Supplier identified thereon (“Vendor”) unless there exists a separate signed written agreement between IM and the Vendor (collectively, the “Parties”) that specifies that it governs IM’s procurement of the Goods or Services ordered from Vendor.

1. Acceptance. The agreement by Vendor to furnish the Goods and/or Services (as defined below) hereby ordered, or its furnishing such Goods and/or Services, in whole or in part, shall constitute acceptance by Vendor of these General Terms and Conditions. By accepting IM’s Purchase Order, Vendor acknowledges receipt of and agrees to comply with these General Terms and Conditions. IM shall not be bound to any prices or delivery to which it has not specifically agreed in writing. Any terms or conditions proposed by Vendor inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including as part of any quotation, proposal or invoice shall be void and of no effect unless specifically agreed to by IM in writing. These General Terms and Conditions, together with a Purchase Order and any statement of work (“SOW”) applicable to Goods and/or Services, any modifications accepted in writing by IM and data relating to price and delivery shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties (collectively this “Agreement”).

2. General. Vendor shall provide the Goods and/or Services in accordance with specifications, delivery dates and prices set forth in this Agreement. IM shall pay Vendor the fees and charges specified in accordance with the terms stated in this Agreement.

3. Taxes and Other Charges. All applicable goods and sales taxes and other applicable charges such as duties, customs, tariffs, imposts and government-imposed surcharges shall be stated separately on Vendor’s invoice, and IM agrees to reimburse Vendor for all such applicable taxes or other charges occasioned by the purchase of the Goods or the delivery of Services by Vendor provided that all charges are accurately stated on the Vendor’s invoice.

4. Title and Risk of Loss. Vendor shall bear the risk of loss of Goods until they have been delivered (and, if required in writing by IM, until assembly of such Goods at IM’s stated facility) and accepted by IM.

5. Shipping. The price set forth by IM in its Purchase Order or SOW includes all shipping, handling and transportation costs to deliver the Goods to the designated IM location (estimated if so indicated) and the cost of installing the Goods in IM’s facility (if so specified) at the indicated location. Goods will be deemed delivered to IM when assembled in accordance with specifications and accepted by IM.

6. Inspection. Notwithstanding any prior inspection or test, Goods are subject to final inspection, test, and acceptance by IM at the destination specified by IM. If the Goods are of a type that require performance testing, IM shall perform such testing promptly after the Goods have been delivered and, if applicable, following Vendor’s installation. IM shall promptly notify Vendor in writing if the Goods do not meet performance specifications, and Vendor shall promptly perform corrective action to cause the Goods to meet such specifications or promptly replace the Goods with conforming Goods, at no additional cost to IM. IM permitting Vendor to perform installation shall not constitute acceptance.

7. Warranties.
(a) Vendor represents and warrants that, upon acceptance, the Goods:
(i) are of new or merchantable quality of good material and workmanship and free from defects;
(ii) are free of encumbrances, liens, mortgages, security interests and third party interests with free and clear title;
(iii) are fit for purpose and conform to all applicable laws and regulations, New Zealand Safety Standards and comply with applicable Workplace Health and Safety legislation;
(iv) will conform with all performance specifications established by IM and set forth in Vendor’s product literature for the Goods, and such Goods have been designed and manufactured so as to conform to the specifications;
(v) or IM’s use of them, will not violate any copyright, patent, trade mark, trade secrets or other proprietary right of any third party and
(vi) otherwise comply with the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. On making a delivery the Vendor must give IM any product warranty and operating or maintenance instructions usual for that kind of goods.
(b) Vendor represents and warrants that the Services:
(i) are fit for purpose;
(ii) are provided with due care and skill and to a standard expected of a leader in its’ industry;
(iii) comply with applicable Workplace Health and Safety legislation;
(iv) will be performed in compliance with any of IM’s policies and procedures as they relate to the performance of the Services;
(v) conform with applicable laws and regulations, including any privacy laws, best industry standards and codes of practice published by Standards New Zealand and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
(c) The Vendor and each of its subcontractors and their respective workers engaged in providing the Services or furnishing the Goods must hold current government licenses, permits and other certifications or trade qualifications required to perform the Services or furnish the Goods. IM may at any time require evidence of such licenses, certifications and/or qualifications.
(d) If the Goods or Services include software, with respect to such software, Vendor represents and warrants that:
(i) the software will be free of defects in materials and workmanship,
(ii) the software will materially conform to Vendor’s then-current documentation for such software, and
(iii) the software does not contain any Harmful Code. In the event the software does contain any such third party technology, Vendor warrants that:
A. Vendor has the right to use all such third party technology in the manner necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement,
B. Vendor has the right to grant IM use of such third party technology under this Agreement,
C. Vendor is in compliance with all restrictions and requirements associated with such third party technology, and
D. IM’s use of such third party technology pursuant to this Agreement will not restrict, alter or otherwise encumber IM’s rights or interests in any technology or intellectual property owned or independently licensed by IM.

(f) In the event of the breach of the foregoing warranties during the warranty period, Vendor shall, at IM’s election and at no cost to IM, promptly repair, replace, modify or re-perform the Goods or Services so as to correct such warranty breach. Any Goods or Services repaired, replaced, modified, made good or re-performed, will be subject to the same warranty conditions as the original Goods or Services and the relevant warranty period shall commence from the date the Goods or Services were repaired, replaced, modified, made good or re-performed. Vendor makes no warranty with respect to items manufactured and/or installed by others, except that, to the extent of its ability to do so, Vendor hereby assigns to IM the benefit of any warranty provided by others.
(g) The warranty entitlements set forth in this Section 7 cover both IM and any customers of IM to whom IM re-sells the Goods.
(h) IM agrees to furnish Vendor prompt notice of all defects of which it becomes aware, either orally or by written notice. IM may affect repair or replacement of defective Goods if Vendor fails to or refuses to do so promptly, in which event Vendor shall reimburse IM for the cost thereof. IM’s action to correct defects shall not relieve Vendor of any obligations or liability hereunder or under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

8. Invoicing; Payment. Vendor’s invoices shall be submitted to the address specified by IM on the Purchase Order or SOW. Unless otherwise specified in a Purchase Order or SOW, IM agrees to pay invoices within sixty (60) days of the date of IM’s receipt of an undisputed invoice from Vendor (but in no event prior to acceptance), provided that such invoice contains an accurate description of the Goods or Services furnished which matches those Goods or Services specified in the Purchase Order and provided further that any taxes or other charges are set forth on a separate line item in a manner that provides reasonable detail to IM. Invoices that fail to meet the foregoing requirements shall be returned to Vendor and the payment period will not commence until IM receives an accurate and complete invoice. IM may set off against any payment due and payable by IM to the Vendor, any payment due and payable by the Vendor to IM whether under this Agreement, a Purchase Order, SOW or otherwise. Vendor shall be responsible for its own expenses unless otherwise previously agreed in writing or specified in advance in the Statement of Work, and any previously agreed upon travel expenses shall be in accordance with IM’s travel policy for Vendors.

9. Progress Schedule. If the Purchase Order or SOW provides for payment based on completion dates and/or delivery schedules, then Vendor shall promptly notify IM of any changes in such completion dates and/or delivery schedules. If requested by IM, within five (5) business days of receipt of any work ordering document issued hereunder, Vendor shall prepare and submit for IM’s approval a more detailed schedule for the delivery of the Goods or performance of the Services. Such schedule shall indicate the dates for the starting and completion of the various stages of delivery and installation, and shall be revised during the course of performance as required by the conditions of the work. No extension beyond the completion date or delivery schedules shall be made unless IM approves such extension in writing. The Vendor will be liable for any delay that is not agreed by IM and that causes loss or damage to IM.

10. Changes. IM, from time to time, may authorise changes in the Goods or Services, provided however, that Vendor shall not proceed with any change (including, but not limited to any change in cost, quantity, delivery or completion schedule) without prior written authorisation from IM. IM shall confirm all changes in the Goods or Services by giving Vendor a written confirmation of the change. Vendor shall, within five (5) business days of any requested change, furnish to IM a written change document, signed by the Parties, setting forth in detail the effect of any such changes, including adjustments to the cost, quantity, delivery, or completion schedule, if any, for the Goods and/or Services.

11. Installation.
(a) If applicable, Vendor shall select, arrange, schedule and accomplish installation of the Goods, including but not limited to, arranging and effecting delivery of all required materials. Vendor shall begin installation of Goods no later than two (2) business days after delivery of the Goods at IM’s facility, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to an alternate installation schedule. It is Vendor’s responsibility to visit delivery or installation sites to verify local conditions and to determine that no unusual conditions will be met in the work of installation. Vendor shall only be paid for any reasonable expenses incident to additional work caused by unusual latent conditions that may develop and/or be encountered during installation if such conditions would not have been reasonably anticipated by an experienced installer of the Goods and could not have been discovered until installation had commenced, and provided that Vendor notifies IM of the existence of such conditions before performing such additional work.
(b) Vendor shall ensure that the conduct of the installation crew is professional and non-disruptive to IM’s business operations. Vendor shall be responsible for all onsite material handling, including unloading of Goods.

12. Insurance.

(a) for goods supplied against product liability for at least $10 million per any one event;
(b) services provided against professional indemnity liability for at least $10 million per any one event;
(c) if the Vendor is to provide services on any land under the care, control or management of IM, against public risk liability in respect of that land for at least $10 million. At any time IM may require evidence of such insurances in the form of Certificates of Currency. The Vendor must name IM as a co-insured if required. The effecting of insurance does not limit the Vendor’s liabilities under this Agreement.

13. Indemnification and Liability
(a) Bodily Injury/Property Damage Indemnification. Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) harmless with respect to any claim or demand for bodily injury (including death) or loss of or damage to tangible property, to the extent based upon the negligent acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party provides the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any such claim or demand.
(b) Loss or Damage. The Vendor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless IM for any loss, damage, claim, costs, expenses, liabilities, environmental damage, compensation, fines, penalties, demand or expense of any nature (including consequential loss and legal fees on a solicitor and own client basis) suffered or incurred by IM arising directly or indirectly in relation to any breach of the Agreement or as a result of an act or omission of the Vendor arising out of, or connected to the Goods furnished or Services performed under this Agreement. This clause applies to the exclusion of any terms that may be contained in the Vendors’ trading terms which might otherwise exclude or limit the Vendor’s liability.
(c) Intellectual Property Indemnification. Vendor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless IM for any action against IM brought by a third party to the extent the action is based on a claim that the Goods or Services infringe such third party’s patent, trademark, copyright, or misappropriates such third party’s trade secret (a “Claim”). Vendor agrees to pay all damages and costs (including reasonable legal’ fees) attributable to such Claim or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such Claim.

14. Ownership of Work Product. “Work Product” shall mean all deliverables, inventions, innovations, improvements, or other works of authorship that Vendor (or its subcontractors) may conceive or develop in the course of performing the Services, whether or not the Work Product is eligible for patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other legal protection. Vendor agrees that all such Work Product is considered work for hire and shall be the sole and exclusive property of IM. If for any reason IM does not to have sole and exclusive ownership of such Work Product, Vendor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to IM all right, title and interest in the Work Product, including, without limitation, all related worldwide patents, patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, rights of reproduction, and any and all other rights of whatever kind or nature. Vendor agrees to execute such further documents and to perform such further acts, at IM’s expense, as may be necessary to perfect the foregoing assignment and to protect IM’s rights in the Work Product.

15. Compliance with Laws. Vendor represents and warrants that the Goods and the Services shall be manufactured, sold and provided in compliance with all relevant federal, state and local laws and regulations.

Confidential Information shall be held in confidence and used or disclosed only to the extent reasonably necessary in the performance of obligations under this Agreement. All such disclosures of Confidential Information shall only be made to those who have a need to know for purposes of performing the obligations under this Agreement, and who are bound by a written agreement with the Receiving Party to guard such disclosed Confidential Information.

17. Safety and Security. If Vendor is performing Services within an IM facility or on its premises, then Vendor agrees to comply with IM’s policies and procedures relating to safety and security.

18. Privacy and Data Protection.
(a) Vendor recognises that due to the nature of IM’s business, a high level of security is required to be maintained for the protection of Personal Information. “Personal Information” is defined as any information or data related to or associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, including, but not limited to, any IM employee information, or IM customer information.
(b) If it is foreseeable that Vendor and/or Vendor’s personnel may:
(i) collect any Personal Information either directly or indirectly from IM’s personnel; and/or
(ii) have access to any Personal Information at any time in connection with this Agreement, regardless of where the Personal Information resides,

IM may terminate this Agreement without cause, by giving Vendor thirty (30) days advance written notice. In the event of termination without cause by IM, IM agrees to pay Vendor for all of the Goods or Services delivered up to the date of termination, based upon the actual Goods delivered or hours worked by Vendor (but not to exceed the fixed price amount if a fixed price has been agreed upon under the Statement of Work or Purchase Order), provided Vendor delivers to IM all such Goods or Services in a satisfactory manner up to the effective date of termination, including, but not limited to, notes, reports, and analyses and other stated deliverables, whether completed or in progress, which shall be compiled in an organised and understandable format.
(b) Either party may terminate this Agreement for material breach of the other party’s obligations and/or warranties, provided, however, the terminating party shall give the other party at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the breach and opportunity to cure within the thirty (30) days. If the non-breaching party has a reasonable belief that such material breach cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, such party may terminate this Agreement immediately, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties. Termination for material breach shall not preclude the terminating party from exercising any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or at law.

20. Notices. All notices given by one party to another under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be transmitted by certified mail, postage prepaid, or sent by nationally recognised overnight courier. Notices shall be addressed:

(b) in the case of notices given by Vendor, to IM’s mailing address at 4-6 Mt Richmond Drive, Mt Wellington, Auckland 1061, and to the attention of the Legal Department.

21. Relation of the Parties. The performance by Vendor of its duties and obligations under this Agreement shall not create or imply an agency relationship between Vendor and IM, nor shall this Agreement be deemed to constitute a joint venture or partnership between the parties. If Vendor employs the use of its own personnel, employees or contractors under this Agreement, Vendor shall assume full liability for payroll withholding, worker’s compensation and other statutory contributions for such individuals as they are not employees of IM. IM’s sole obligation shall be to pay the Vendor at the agreed-upon rates in the SOW or Purchase Order.
