Terms Governing the Use of Electronic Invoices and Exchange of Other
Business Documents
1. Exchange of EDI Messages
  1. You agree to comply with the following EDI terms set out in this
    Clause 4 (the “EDI Terms”). The EDI Terms apply between you and other users of Tradeshift
    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.

  interest in and to all of the Customer Data and shall have sole

  any Customer Data in a manner inconsistent with our standard practice

  sole discretion.

  communications relating to the underlying transaction between the

  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

  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.
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

information, documents, and data sets as provided by such feature, (ii)
