STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE – UNITED STATES
1. TERMS OF AGREEMENT
The purchase order, together with these terms and conditions, and any attachments and exhibits,
specifications, drawings, notes, instructions and other information, whether physically attached or
incorporated by reference (collectively the “Purchase Order”), constitutes the entire and exclusive
agreement between the Cisco company (“Cisco”) and the supplier (the “Supplier”) identified in the
Purchase Order. Cisco’s submission of the Purchase Order is conditioned on Supplier’s agreement that
any terms different from or in addition to the terms of the Purchase Order, whether communicated orally
or contained in any purchase order confirmation, invoice, acknowledgement, release, acceptance or other
written correspondence, irrespective of the timing, shall not form a part of the Purchase Order, even if
Supplier purports to condition its acceptance of the Purchase Order on Cisco’s agreement to such
different or additional terms. Supplier’s electronic acceptance, acknowledgement of this Purchase Order,
or commencement of performance constitutes Supplier’s acceptance of these terms and conditions. The
Purchase Order does not constitute a firm offer within the meaning of Section 2205 of the California
Commercial Code, and may be revoked at any time prior to acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
a master agreement covering procurement of the Work described in the Purchase Order exists between
Supplier and Cisco, the terms of such master agreement shall prevail over any inconsistent terms herein.

3. DELIVERY
3.1 Time is of the essence in Supplier’s performance of its obligations under Section 3 of the
Purchase Order. Supplier will immediately notify Cisco if Supplier’s timely performance under the
Purchase Order is delayed or is likely to be delayed. Cisco’s acceptance of Supplier’s notice will not
constitute Cisco’s waiver of any of Supplier’s obligations.
3.2 If Supplier delivers Work after the Delivery Date, Cisco may reject such Work.
3.3 Cisco will hold any Work rejected under this Purchase Order at Supplier’s risk and
expense, including storage charges, while awaiting Supplier’s returns shipping instructions. Supplier will
bear all return shipping charges, including without limitation, insurance charges Cisco incurs on Supplier’s
behalf. Cisco may, in its sole discretion, destroy or sell at a public or private sale any rejected Work for
which Cisco does not receive return shipping instructions within a reasonable time, and apply the
proceeds, if any, first toward any storage charges.
3.4 Supplier will preserve, pack, package and handle the Deliverables and Products so as to
protect the Deliverables and Products from loss or damage and in accordance with best commercial
practices in the absence of any specifications Cisco may provide. Without limiting the foregoing, Supplier
shall observe the requirements of any local laws and regulations relating to hazardous work, including,
without limitation, with respect to its accompanying information, packing, labeling, reporting, carriage and
disposal.
3.5 Supplier will include with each delivery of Products a packing list identifying the Purchase
Order number, the Cisco part number for each of the Products (if applicable), a description and the
quantity of each of the Products, and the date of shipment.
3.6 Unless Cisco expressly instructs otherwise, Supplier will deliver all Work to Cisco’s plant
at the address set forth in the Purchase Order. Seller assumes responsibility for all shipping and delivery
charges including, without limitation, customs, duties, costs, taxes and insurance. Risk of loss for the
Deliverables and Products does not pass to Cisco until acceptance in accordance with Section 6.
4. PRICE AND PAYMENT
4.1 Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, the price for the Work includes all
taxes and other charges such as shipping and delivery charges, duties, customs, tariffs, imposts and
government-imposed surcharges. Supplier will, at Cisco’s request, break-out from the price all such
Page 3 of 9
Rev. 03/2014
taxes and other charges, in its invoices. Supplier shall use its best efforts to assist Cisco in all legal
efforts to minimize the taxes resulting from the performance of this Purchase Order.
4.2 Cisco will pay Supplier the price in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the
Purchase Order following the later of: (i) the Delivery Date; (ii) the date of Cisco’s acceptance of all of the
Work; or (iii) Cisco’s receipt of a properly prepared invoice. A properly prepared invoice must include the
Purchase Order number and, if required in the Purchase Order, Supplier’s certification of conformance of
the Work to the requirements. Payment will be in the currency of the country in which the Cisco entity or
affiliate identified in the Purchase Order is located, and if the price set forth in the Purchase Order is not
in the local currency, then Cisco will determine the local currency equivalent of the price as of date of
payment. Cisco may, at any time, set-off any amounts Supplier owes Cisco against any amounts Cisco
owes to Supplier or any of its affiliated companies.
5. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE
5.1 Unless otherwise specified in a SOW and except as provided in Section 5.2, Cisco is the
sole and exclusive owner of all Deliverables and Supplier hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to
Cisco all of its worldwide right and title to, and interest in, the Deliverables, including all associated
Intellectual Property Rights.
5.2 Unless otherwise specified in a SOW, each party owns all right, title, and interest in and
to any of its Preexisting Materials. Supplier hereby grants Cisco a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide,
transferable, royalty-free, nonexclusive license, with the right to sublicense and authorize the granting of
sublicenses, to use and reproduce Supplier's Preexisting Materials in the Deliverables to the extent
necessary for Cisco’s exercise and exploitation of its rights in the Deliverables.
5.3 Unless otherwise specified in an SOW, Supplier will obtain and assign to Cisco a nonexclusive,
royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable license to use all
Third Party Intellectual Property Rights incorporated into, required to use, or delivered with the Work.
Bill Kohnen Examples Standard PO Terms May 2014
Supplier will deliver copies of the above releases and licenses to Cisco upon Cisco’s request.
6. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
Cisco may reject any or all of the Work which does not conform to the applicable requirements within 10
business days of Supplier’s delivery of the Work. At Cisco’s option, Cisco may (i) return the
nonconforming
Work to Supplier for a refund or credit; (ii) requires Supplier to replace the non-conforming
Work; or (iii) repair the non-conforming Work so that it meets the requirements. As an alternative to (i)
through (iii), Cisco may accept the non-conforming Work conditioned on Supplier providing a refund or
credit in an amount Cisco reasonably determines to represent the diminished value of the non-conforming
Work. Cisco’s payment to Supplier for Work prior to Cisco’s timely rejection of such Work as
nonconforming
will not be deemed as acceptance by Cisco.
7. CHANGES
7.1 As used in this Section 7, “Change” means a change Cisco directs or causes within the
general scope of this Agreement, the applicable SOW or both.
7.2 Cisco, by written order (“Change Order”), may make Changes in accordance with this
Section 7.
7.3 If Supplier asserts that Cisco has directed or caused a Change to the cost of or time for
performance for which Cisco has not issued a Change Order, Supplier will promptly notify Cisco in writing
of the Change, providing (i) a description of the action or inaction asserted to have caused the Change;
(ii) an estimate of the equitable adjustment that would be required for Supplier to perform the Changed
Work; and (iii) a date no less than 30 days from the date of notice by which Cisco must respond to
Page 4 of 9
Rev. 03/2014
Supplier’s notice so that Supplier may proceed with the Work unchanged. Cisco will evaluate Supplier’s
notice of Change in good faith, and if Cisco agrees that it has made a constructive change, Cisco will
issue a Change Order to Supplier.
7.4 Supplier shall, as promptly as practicable, after giving the notice of the Change, or within
10 days of receiving a Change Order, submit a request for equitable adjustment specifying the
adjustment in the price or time for performance resulting from the Change.
7.5 The parties shall negotiate an amendment to the applicable SOW to incorporate a
Change Order providing for an equitable adjustment to the price, time for performance, or both.
7.6 Supplier will proceed with the Changed Work as directed, notwithstanding that the parties
have not negotiated the amendment to this Agreement or the applicable SOW to incorporate the
equitable adjustment.

which results in personal injury (including death) or damage to tangible property (not including lost or
damaged data).
12.5 The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of
the Claim and permit the Indemnifying Party to control the defense, settlement, adjustment, or

Cisco’s use of the Work.
12.7 Nothing in this Section shall limit any other remedy of the parties.
13. LIABILITY
13.1 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THE PURCHASE ORDER OR
OTHERWISE, CISCO WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO SUPPLIER WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF THE PURCHASE ORDER UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY
OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS IN THE AMOUNT
CISCO PAID TO SUPPLIER IN THE SIX MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE
GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
13.2 IN NO EVENT WILL CISCO BE LIABLE TO SUPPLIER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PROFITS ARISING OUT OF, OR IN

13.3 THE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN. NOTHING IN THE PURCHASE ORDER
LIMITS EITHER PARTY'S LIABILITY FOR BODILY INJURY OF A PERSON, DEATH, OR PHYSICAL
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR ANY LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE
LAW.
14. INSURANCE
Supplier will secure and maintain insurance providing coverage for liabilities to third parties for bodily
injury (personal injury) and damage to property in amounts sufficient to protect Cisco in the event of such
injury or damage, and will be in compliance with any and all laws, regulations or orders addressing the
liabilities of an employer to its employees for injuries and disease suffered in connection with
Page 8 of 9
Rev. 03/2014
employment. Supplier further will maintain such additional types and limits of insurance as is customary
for a company of similar size and similar operations to Supplier in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which
Supplier’s operations take place.
15. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
Supplier represents and warrants that it will comply with all applicable local and national laws and
regulations pertaining to its performance of its obligations under this Purchase Order. In particular and
without limitation, Supplier shall not act in any fashion or take any action that will render Cisco liable for a
violation of any applicable anti-bribery legislation (including without limitation, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010), which prohibits the offering, giving or promising to offer or
Bill Kohnen Examples Standard PO Terms May 2014
give, or receiving, directly or indirectly, money or anything of value to any third party to assist it them or
Cisco in retaining or obtaining business or in performing the Work. Without limiting the foregoing, to the
extent that Supplier is a US federal contractor or covered subcontractor as contemplated in accordance
with the applicable laws and regulations, then Supplier agrees that this Purchase Order will be subject to
the requirements of 41 CFR 60-1.4 and 29 CFR part 471, Appendix A to Subpart A, and the requirements
of 41 CFR 60-300.5(a) and 41 CFR 60-741.5(a), which are incorporated herein by reference. The latter
two regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals on the basis of protected
veteran status and disability and require affirmative action to employ and advance in employment
protected veterans and qualified individuals with disabilities. Supplier’s failure to comply with this
provision shall constitute a material breach of this Purchase Order.
16. GOVERNING LAW
The Purchase Order will be construed in accordance with, and all disputes will be governed by, the laws
of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The parties specifically waive
application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Supplier irrevocably
consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in and for Santa Clara County,
California, and irrevocably waives any claim it may have that any proceedings brought in such courts
have been brought in an inconvenient forum.
17. GENERAL
17.1 Any notice to be given under the Purchase Order will be in writing and addressed to the
party at the address stated in the front of the Purchase Order. Notices will be deemed given and effective
(i) if personally delivered, upon delivery, (ii) if sent by an overnight service with tracking capabilities, upon
receipt; (iii) if sent by fax or electronic mail, at such time as the party which sent the notice receives
confirmation of receipt by the applicable method of transmittal; or (iv) if sent by certified or registered mail,
within five days of deposit in the mail.
17.2 If there is a conflict between or among the Purchase Order and any documents attached
to and incorporated by reference, the conflict will be resolved as follows:
17.2.1 A conflict between the terms of the Purchase Order and those set forth in an
exhibit or hyperlink will be resolved in favor of the Purchase Order.
17.2.2 A conflict between the terms of the Purchase Order and those set forth in an
SOW will be resolved in favor of the SOW.
17.2.3 A conflict between the terms of an exhibit or hyperlink and those set forth in an

17.3 If any court of competent jurisdiction holds that any provision of the Purchase Order is
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the
Page 9 of 9
Rev. 03/2014
Purchase Order will not be affected or impaired, and all remaining terms of this Purchase Order remain in
full force and effect, provided that this provision shall not be applied to defeat the intent of the parties.
17.4 A party’s election not to insist on strict performance of any requirement of the Purchase
Order will not operate or be construed to waive any future omission or breach, or any other provision of
the Purchase Order.

  • 1. 2014 Global CPO Purchasing Forum – San Francisco CA William Kohnen PO BOILERPLATE TERMS Discussion and workshop on PO terms best Practice, practical steps, and a review of 4 examples.
  • 2. Bill Kohnen Examples Standard PO Terms May 2014 Page 1 of 9 Rev. 03/2014 STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE – UNITED STATES 1. TERMS OF AGREEMENT The purchase order, together with these terms and conditions, and any attachments and exhibits, specifications, drawings, notes, instructions and other information, whether physically attached or incorporated by reference (collectively the “Purchase Order”), constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between the Cisco company (“Cisco”) and the supplier (the “Supplier”) identified in the Purchase Order. Cisco’s submission of the Purchase Order is conditioned on Supplier’s agreement that any terms different from or in addition to the terms of the Purchase Order, whether communicated orally or contained in any purchase order confirmation, invoice, acknowledgement, release, acceptance or other written correspondence, irrespective of the timing, shall not form a part of the Purchase Order, even if Supplier purports to condition its acceptance of the Purchase Order on Cisco’s agreement to such different or additional terms. Supplier’s electronic acceptance, acknowledgement of this Purchase Order, or commencement of performance constitutes Supplier’s acceptance of these terms and conditions. The Purchase Order does not constitute a firm offer within the meaning of Section 2205 of the California Commercial Code, and may be revoked at any time prior to acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a master agreement covering procurement of the Work described in the Purchase Order exists between Supplier and Cisco, the terms of such master agreement shall prevail over any inconsistent terms herein. 2. DEFINITIONS 2.1 “Deliverables” means the deliverables specified in the Purchase Order (and any Statement of Work) to be delivered on or before the Delivery Date. 2.2 “Delivery Date” means the date or dates specified in the Purchase Order by which the Supplier is required to deliver the Work. 2.3 “Harmful Code” means any software intentionally designed to (i) disrupt, disable, harm, or impede operation, or (ii) impair operation based on the lapse of time, including but not limited to viruses, worms, time bombs, time locks, drop-dead devices, access codes, security keys, back doors, or trap door devices. 2.4 “Intellectual Property Rights” means any and all tangible and intangible: (i) copyrights and other rights associated with works of authorship throughout the world, including but not limited to copyrights, neighboring rights, moral rights, and mask works, and all derivative works thereof; (ii) trademark and trade name rights and similar rights; (iii) trade secret rights; (iv) patents, designs, algorithms, utility models, and other industrial property rights, and all improvements thereto; (v) all other intellectual and industrial property rights (of every kind and nature throughout the world and however designated) whether arising by operation of law, contract, license, or otherwise; and (vi) all registrations, applications, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions, or reissues thereof now or hereafter in force (including any rights in any of the foregoing). 2.5 “Preexisting Materials” means any Intellectual Property Rights or tangible personal property of Supplier or Cisco created before the date of this Purchase Order or outside the scope of this Purchase Order. 2.6 “Products” means tangible goods specified in the Purchase Order to be delivered on or before the Delivery Date. Page 2 of 9 Rev. 03/2014 2.7 “Services” means the services that Supplier is to perform for Cisco specified in the Purchase Order. 2.8 “Statement of Work” or “SOW” means the document specifying, without limitation, the scope, objective, and time frame of the Work that Supplier will perform for Cisco. 2.9 “Subcontractor” means a third party performing Work under an agreement (a “Subcontract”) with Supplier. 2.10 “Supplier Personnel” means Supplier’s employees, consultants, agents, independent contractors and Subcontractors. 2.11 “Third Party Intellectual Property” means the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party which Supplier uses or incorporates into the Work. 2.12 “Work” means the Deliverables, Products and Services specified in the Purchase Order,
  • 3. Bill Kohnen Examples Standard PO Terms May 2014 including any SOW. 3. DELIVERY 3.1 Time is of the essence in Supplier’s performance of its obligations under Section 3 of the Purchase Order. Supplier will immediately notify Cisco if Supplier’s timely performance under the Purchase Order is delayed or is likely to be delayed. Cisco’s acceptance of Supplier’s notice will not constitute Cisco’s waiver of any of Supplier’s obligations. 3.2 If Supplier delivers Work after the Delivery Date, Cisco may reject such Work. 3.3 Cisco will hold any Work rejected under this Purchase Order at Supplier’s risk and expense, including storage charges, while awaiting Supplier’s returns shipping instructions. Supplier will bear all return shipping charges, including without limitation, insurance charges Cisco incurs on Supplier’s behalf. Cisco may, in its sole discretion, destroy or sell at a public or private sale any rejected Work for which Cisco does not receive return shipping instructions within a reasonable time, and apply the proceeds, if any, first toward any storage charges. 3.4 Supplier will preserve, pack, package and handle the Deliverables and Products so as to protect the Deliverables and Products from loss or damage and in accordance with best commercial practices in the absence of any specifications Cisco may provide. Without limiting the foregoing, Supplier shall observe the requirements of any local laws and regulations relating to hazardous work, including, without limitation, with respect to its accompanying information, packing, labeling, reporting, carriage and disposal. 3.5 Supplier will include with each delivery of Products a packing list identifying the Purchase Order number, the Cisco part number for each of the Products (if applicable), a description and the quantity of each of the Products, and the date of shipment. 3.6 Unless Cisco expressly instructs otherwise, Supplier will deliver all Work to Cisco’s plant at the address set forth in the Purchase Order. Seller assumes responsibility for all shipping and delivery charges including, without limitation, customs, duties, costs, taxes and insurance. Risk of loss for the Deliverables and Products does not pass to Cisco until acceptance in accordance with Section 6. 4. PRICE AND PAYMENT 4.1 Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, the price for the Work includes all taxes and other charges such as shipping and delivery charges, duties, customs, tariffs, imposts and government-imposed surcharges. Supplier will, at Cisco’s request, break-out from the price all such Page 3 of 9 Rev. 03/2014 taxes and other charges, in its invoices. Supplier shall use its best efforts to assist Cisco in all legal efforts to minimize the taxes resulting from the performance of this Purchase Order. 4.2 Cisco will pay Supplier the price in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Purchase Order following the later of: (i) the Delivery Date; (ii) the date of Cisco’s acceptance of all of the Work; or (iii) Cisco’s receipt of a properly prepared invoice. A properly prepared invoice must include the Purchase Order number and, if required in the Purchase Order, Supplier’s certification of conformance of the Work to the requirements. Payment will be in the currency of the country in which the Cisco entity or affiliate identified in the Purchase Order is located, and if the price set forth in the Purchase Order is not in the local currency, then Cisco will determine the local currency equivalent of the price as of date of payment. Cisco may, at any time, set-off any amounts Supplier owes Cisco against any amounts Cisco owes to Supplier or any of its affiliated companies. 5. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE 5.1 Unless otherwise specified in a SOW and except as provided in Section 5.2, Cisco is the sole and exclusive owner of all Deliverables and Supplier hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to Cisco all of its worldwide right and title to, and interest in, the Deliverables, including all associated Intellectual Property Rights. 5.2 Unless otherwise specified in a SOW, each party owns all right, title, and interest in and to any of its Preexisting Materials. Supplier hereby grants Cisco a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, royalty-free, nonexclusive license, with the right to sublicense and authorize the granting of sublicenses, to use and reproduce Supplier's Preexisting Materials in the Deliverables to the extent necessary for Cisco’s exercise and exploitation of its rights in the Deliverables. 5.3 Unless otherwise specified in an SOW, Supplier will obtain and assign to Cisco a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable license to use all Third Party Intellectual Property Rights incorporated into, required to use, or delivered with the Work.
  • 4. Bill Kohnen Examples Standard PO Terms May 2014 Supplier will deliver copies of the above releases and licenses to Cisco upon Cisco’s request. 6. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE Cisco may reject any or all of the Work which does not conform to the applicable requirements within 10 business days of Supplier’s delivery of the Work. At Cisco’s option, Cisco may (i) return the nonconforming Work to Supplier for a refund or credit; (ii) requires Supplier to replace the non-conforming Work; or (iii) repair the non-conforming Work so that it meets the requirements. As an alternative to (i) through (iii), Cisco may accept the non-conforming Work conditioned on Supplier providing a refund or credit in an amount Cisco reasonably determines to represent the diminished value of the non-conforming Work. Cisco’s payment to Supplier for Work prior to Cisco’s timely rejection of such Work as nonconforming will not be deemed as acceptance by Cisco. 7. CHANGES 7.1 As used in this Section 7, “Change” means a change Cisco directs or causes within the general scope of this Agreement, the applicable SOW or both. 7.2 Cisco, by written order (“Change Order”), may make Changes in accordance with this Section 7. 7.3 If Supplier asserts that Cisco has directed or caused a Change to the cost of or time for performance for which Cisco has not issued a Change Order, Supplier will promptly notify Cisco in writing of the Change, providing (i) a description of the action or inaction asserted to have caused the Change; (ii) an estimate of the equitable adjustment that would be required for Supplier to perform the Changed Work; and (iii) a date no less than 30 days from the date of notice by which Cisco must respond to Page 4 of 9 Rev. 03/2014 Supplier’s notice so that Supplier may proceed with the Work unchanged. Cisco will evaluate Supplier’s notice of Change in good faith, and if Cisco agrees that it has made a constructive change, Cisco will issue a Change Order to Supplier. 7.4 Supplier shall, as promptly as practicable, after giving the notice of the Change, or within 10 days of receiving a Change Order, submit a request for equitable adjustment specifying the adjustment in the price or time for performance resulting from the Change. 7.5 The parties shall negotiate an amendment to the applicable SOW to incorporate a Change Order providing for an equitable adjustment to the price, time for performance, or both. 7.6 Supplier will proceed with the Changed Work as directed, notwithstanding that the parties have not negotiated the amendment to this Agreement or the applicable SOW to incorporate the equitable adjustment. 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 8.1 Supplier represents and warrants that: (i) it has the full power to enter into the Purchase Order and to perform its obligations under the Purchase Order; (ii) it has the right and unrestricted ability to assign the Work to Cisco including, without limitation, the right to assign any Work performed by Supplier Personnel and Subcontractors; (iii) the Work, and Cisco’s use of the Work, do not and will not infringe upon any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, right of publicity or privacy, or any other proprietary rights, whether contractual, statutory or common law; (iv) Supplier will not disclose to Cisco, bring onto Cisco's premises, or induce Cisco to use any confidential or proprietary information that belongs to anyone other than Cisco or Supplier which is not covered by a non-disclosure agreement between Cisco and Supplier; (v) Software supplied by Supplier does not contain any Harmful Code; (vi) Supplier’s Work conforms to Cisco’s specifications, Supplier’s quotation or proposal, and Supplier’s brochures or catalogs, and if none of the foregoing is applicable, then such Work is suitable for the intended use; (vii) in performing its obligations under this Purchase Order it will apply the Code of Ethics found at: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac50/ac142/supplier/about_cisco_become_a_ci
