        when you accept a network connection from a user or when you
        invite a network connection with a user (you and the relevant user
        are hereby referred to as the EDI Parties or EDI Party
        as applicable). The EDI Terms are applicable to and apply between
        the EDI Parties for the duration of your use of the Services.
        Where you send an invoice or other EDI Message to a user with whom
        you are not connected on Tradeshift, these EDI Terms shall not
        apply.
      2. EDI Parties agree to issue and receive invoices and/or other
        business documents by the use of EDI through the Site and subject
        to the technical and functional specifications of the Site as
        published by Tradeshift from time to time, including as varied as
        by Tradeshift giving notice to either party. In case of electronic
        invoice, the receiver shall notify the sender whether it intends
        to receive the original tax invoice or a summary invoice in paper
        format in addition to receiving invoice data through
        Tradeshift.
      3. Consistency with National Laws: Each EDI Party is responsible to
        ensure that the use of the Site to exchange EDI Messages is not
        inconsistent with the law of its own respective country, the
        application of which could restrict the use of Tradeshift or the
        content of an EDI Message, and shall take all necessary measures
        to inform, without delay, the other party of any inconsistencies
        or prohibitions. Tradeshift makes no representation or warranty
        that an EDI Party’s use of the Tradeshift Site or Services
        complies with the requirements of their respective jurisdictions,
        including the requirement of their respective tax authorities, and
        Tradeshift shall have no liability in the event use of the Site or
        Services violates such laws.
      4. Obligations of the EDI Parties: EDI Parties undertake to
        implement and maintain security procedures and measures in order
        to ensure the integrity of its access to the Site, its use of the
        Services, and its Tradeshift account to guard against the risks of
        unauthorized access, alteration, delay, destruction or loss.
      5. Confidentiality Obligations:
        1. EDI Parties shall ensure that EDI Messages containing
          information specified to be confidential by the sender or
          agreed mutually to be confidential between the EDI Parties,
          are maintained in confidence and are not disclosed or
          transmitted to any unauthorized persons nor used for any
          purposes other than those intended by the EDI Parties.
        2. When authorized, further transmission of such confidential
          information shall be subject to the same degree of
          confidentiality.
        3. Public Domain: EDI Messages shall not be regarded as
          containing confidential information to the extent that such
          information is in the public domain.
      6. Personal Data Protection: Where EDI Messages which include
        personal data are sent or received in countries which do not have
        any data protection laws, each EDI Party agrees, at a minimum, to
        comply with the provisions of Clause 4.1.5 with respect to such
        EDI Messages.
      7. Exclusion of Liability: You agree that no EDI Party shall be
        liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages caused
        by a failure to perform its obligations contained in and relating
        to the EDI Terms.
      8. Force Majeure: EDI Parties shall not be liable for any loss or
        damage suffered by the other party caused by any delay or failure
        to perform in accordance with the provisions of the EDI Terms,
        where such delay or failure is caused by an impediment beyond that
        party’s reasonable control and which could not reasonably be
        expected to be taken into account at the time of conclusion of the
        EDI Terms or the consequences of which could not be avoided or
        overcome.
      9. Modifications: EDI Parties may agree, in writing, to amend these
        EDI Terms, provided such amendment does not violate applicable
        laws or conflict with the exchange of EDI Messages through the
        Site.
    2. Termination
      1. Any EDI Party may terminate the relationship with the other EDI
        Party by giving written notice to the other EDI Party or by
        terminating the network connection. Termination of the
        relationship governed by the EDI Terms shall only affect
        transactions after that date.
      2. These EDI Terms and the Services will immediately terminate at
        such time as an EDI Party terminates its account with
        Tradeshift.
      3. Notwithstanding termination for any reason, the rights and
        obligations of the EDI Parties shall survive the termination in
        relation to any matter arising prior to the termination and any
        obligations which, by their nature, shall survive the termination
        including, without limitation, the provisions of Clause 4 and 5
        which by their nature are intended to survive beyond the period
        covered by these EDI Terms.
    3. E-Invoicing Issuance and E-Signature Authorization.
      1. Depending on the country associated with an invoice, Tradeshift
        and/or one or its third party e-invoice processors (“Invoicing Facilitator“) will electronically process, issue and/or sign the invoice
        document based on the data you, as a Seller, submit (“Invoice Data”) and a supported technical approach offered by Tradeshift.
        You authorize Tradeshift and applicable Invoicing Facilitators to
        take these steps in accordance with these Terms of Service.
        It is your responsibility to determine whether the processes
        offered by Tradeshift and the Invoicing Facilitators enable a
        legally compliant invoice for your organization based on
        jurisdiction and other regulatory requirements that may be
        specific to your organization.  The current list of Invoicing
        Facilitators and the countries addressed by such providers is
        available from Tradeshift upon request (“Regional Reference Document“).
      2. For those jurisdictions supported by the Services to receive
        electronic signatures as identified in the Regional Reference
        Document, You, in your role as Seller using the Services, hereby
        authorize Tradeshift or the Invoicing Facilitator to receive the
        Invoice Data, which may not constitute an original invoice, and
        subsequently apply an electronic signature to the Invoice Data to
        issue electronic invoices in the name of and on behalf of your
        organization if that is the legal requirement in such
        country.  You acknowledge that the electronic invoices may
        include language regarding the involvement of the service provider
        and that the Invoicing Facilitator is not applying invoice numbers
        to the invoices (they must already be applied). You acknowledge
        and agree to the process described herein and procedures below and
        that such party will apply such electronic signatures with private
        keys corresponding to certificates issued by third party
        certification service providers or tax authorities.  Further,
        you agree:

        1. Within 24 hours of providing invoice data to the Site for
          processing inform Tradeshift if you have not yet received your
          version of the original signed invoice issued in your
          organization’s name and on its behalf, notice apparent errors
          or do not have online access to the invoice.
        2. If You have not within the time limits stated in the previous
          bullet signaled an apparent error in the invoice, the invoice
          will be deemed to have been validly issued. Where possible
          under applicable law, You agree not to challenge the valid
          issuance of an invoice if it is deemed to be correct in
          accordance with the foregoing.
      3. The above authorization is solely for tax compliance purposes. You, and not Tradeshift nor any Invoicing Facilitator, are
        responsible toward any relevant tax authorities as to the content,
        accuracy, completeness of the invoice, VAT implications and other
        tax or regulatory requirements.  You remain responsible, as
        applicable by jurisdiction, for reporting and paying any tax
        regarding an invoice as though the invoice were issued by you
        directly. You acknowledge that activities provided under the
        Services and described in these Terms of Service involve straight
        invoicing from You, as Seller, to your Buyer, with issuance alone
        being outsourced to the Invoicing Facilitator and any legal
        requirements for “self-billing” (i.e. the issuance of the invoice
        by the Buyer in the name and on behalf of the Seller) do not
        apply.
  5. Data and Privacy
    1. As between Tradeshift and You, You shall own all rights, title and
      interest in and to all of the Customer Data and shall have sole
      responsibility for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy and
      quality of the Customer Data.
    2. We will store all Customer Data on the Site for so long as you have
      an active account with Tradeshift unless you otherwise instruct us to

      invoice for the purposes of Clause 4, you may have an obligation to
      store it for some fixed period from the date of the relevant
      transaction. You may have additional obligations to maintain invoices
      (in electronic or paper format) under local laws or regulations.
      Although we do agree to store the data while you maintain an active
      account or subscription as applicable, such storage may not meet the
      specific legal requirements applicable to your organization for
      archiving during such time. You are encouraged to take steps to
      download and secure archival of Content as needed for Your own
      compliance needs.
    3. Upon your cancellation or termination of the Services, except as otherwise agreed for a specific feature or Program, all of the Customer Data will be deleted from Your account on the

      of the Customer Data, you must contact us within 10 Business Days of
      the date of cancellation or termination and, subject to your
      compliance with the Terms of Service, we shall use reasonable efforts
      to deliver (at your cost payable in advance of delivery) that data to
      you as soon as reasonably practicable.
    4. You shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by us in disposing of
      any Customer Data in a manner inconsistent with our standard practice
      for the disposal of data.
    5. When you set up a profile on our Site, by default the profile and the

      publicly available on the Site. Consequently, it will be possible for

      If you do not wish your profile to be publicly available, please
      log-in to the Site and change the disable public setting.

      Services and the Customer Data may involve (a) transmissions over

      hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology

      Services under the Terms of Service, you agree that you shall be the
      data controller and we shall be a data processor and in any such
      case:

      1. you acknowledge and agree that the personal data may be

        Authorized Users are located in order to carry out the Services
        under the Terms of Service;

        on your behalf;
      4. you shall ensure that the relevant third parties have been
        informed of, and have given their consent to, such use,
        processing, and transfer as required by all applicable data
        protection legislation;
      5. we shall process the personal data only in accordance with the
        terms of the Terms of Service and any lawful instructions
        reasonably given by you from time to time; and
      6. each party shall take appropriate technical and organizational
        measures against unauthorized or unlawful processing of the
        personal data or its accidental loss, destruction or damage.

    10. Usage of the Services and the Tradeshift platform is by definition a
      collaborative endeavor, in that you will exchange documents and
      communications with your trading partners (“Trading
      Partners” means for each transaction, you and the trading
      partner applicable to such transaction). Accordingly,
      each Trading Partner has an interest in the documents and
      communications relating to the underlying transaction between the
      Trading Partners.  Tradeshift will act upon the
      instructions of either Trading Partner, including analyzing data,
      disclosing data, or the like.  In order to
      enhance the experience of users of the Site, including providing value
      added services to you or Trading Partners, we may assess Platform Data
      as further described in the Operational Practices.
    11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, We may conduct
      analytics of Platform Data, and shall own the results of such
      analytics provided such data analytics if disclosed to a third party
      (other than a trusted service provider acting on behalf of
      Tradeshift), will not directly or indirectly identify you or your
      organization (“Analytics Results“). “Platform Data“ means any data sent to, received by, or otherwise
      processed by the Tradeshift platform and/or the Services.
  6. Third Party Network Integration. If you elect to use features enabling integration with third party e-invoicing networks, such as transmitting invoices issued outside the
    Tradeshift Platform to your trading partners on the Tradeshift platform or
    sending invoices issued on the Tradeshift platform to trading partners
    utilizing a separate network, (i) you instruct Tradeshift to rout your
    information, documents, and data sets as provided by such feature, (ii)
    agree to following Tradeshift’s instructions and requirements
    for configuration and routing, (iii) you agree that you are responsible
