Section 4. Fees, Payment & Invoices
-
Fees.
Vendor warrants that Fees will be complete, and no additional charges or expenses of any type will be added without UiPath’s prior written consent. UiPath shall pay Vendor the Fees due to Vendor in connection with the Services in accordance with this Agreement and the relevant SOW. In addition, UiPath shall reimburse Vendor for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Vendor (without mark-up) in the performance of Services under this Agreement that have been pre-approved by UiPath in writing. All approved travel expenses must be in compliance with the current UiPath travel guidelines as communicated to Vendor upon request. UiPath shall not be billed or liable for any charges or expenses in connection with the Services other than those charges or expenses expressly authorized in this Agreement or the relevant SOW. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall UiPath be charged for the time of administrative, billing, or other support personnel of Vendor. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or applicable SOW, Vendor, at its sole expense, shall supply all elements, rights, material, supplies, personnel, equipment, facilities, and other resources necessary or appropriate for the performance of the Services. -
Records.
Vendor will keep accurate and complete records and accounts related to the Services, Fees and expenses including, without limitation and as applicable, the date and number of hours worked, the hourly or other rate that applies with a description of the Services rendered, receipts for approved out of pocket expenses, costs for procurement or use of materials, labor, effort, third party tools and supplies used in delivering the Services and evidence of all pass-through costs. -
Changes.
Vendor shall not increase the Fees (whether on account of foreign exchange fluctuations, currency regulations, changes in duties or taxes, increase in the cost of raw materials, labor, energy, transport or otherwise) without the prior written consent of UiPath. If Vendor reduces its Fees and improves the conditions during the period between order and delivery or performance of the Services, the prices or conditions valid at the date of dispatch shall apply. For the avoidance of any doubt, for all subsequent renewals, if any, the Fees will not be increased over the previous Term’s Fees by more than (i) three percent (3%) or (ii) the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index , whichever is lower. -
Invoices.
Regardless of the method used to transmit an invoice to the UiPath designated recipient, a conforming invoice minimally includes: (i) Vendor’s name, address and registration number of eligible invoice provider (if required by UiPath) and invoice number and date, (ii) UiPath’s full legal name and address (iii) the specific purchase order number, (iv) description including serial number as applicable, price, and quantity of the services actually delivered or rendered, references to contract(s)/annexes or other invoices or documents previously issued (v) credits (if applicable), (vi) name (where applicable), title, phone number, and complete mailing address and remit address (which may be different from the mailing address) of responsible official to whom payment is to be sent, (vii) other substantiating documentation or information as may reasonably be required by UiPath from time to time, and (viii) in such a form so as to meet local tax requirements to ensure deductibility and tax recovery, where applicable. Vendor agrees to separately identify on the invoice the taxable and non-taxable purchases, the types of tax, the applicable tax rate, the amount of tax charged and the taxing authorities, if required by UiPath. Invoices must be submitted within three (3) business days from the beginning of the month following the month of delivery or acceptance of the Services, unless otherwise stated in the applicable SOW. The use of an invoice by Vendor under this Agreement is for specifying the billing amounts due under this Agreement; no terms or conditions of such invoices shall be binding upon UiPath or amend or modify this Agreement or any SOW in any manner. Vendor acknowledges UiPath wishes to trade using the Coupa eProcurement platform. On receipt of a purchase order, UiPath requests that Vendor ‘flips’ the order to an invoice via the ‘Create Invoice’ button on the purchase order email or that the invoice is submitted via the Coupa Supplier Portal, as the case may be. For the avoidance of any doubt, UiPath might not accept invoices sent via e-mail and/or post office and/or courier and reserves the right to reject any invoices not submitted in the manner described herein. -
Disputes and payment.
UiPath may dispute any invoice amount by providing written notice to Vendor. UiPath will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Vendor in writing of any disputed invoice within forty-five (45) days of receiving Vendor’s invoice. UiPath’s failure to provide notice or payment of an invoice does not waive any of its claims or rights. UiPath will issue payment to Vendor for a non-disputed invoice within ninety (90) days from the date of delivery or acceptance of the Services.
Section 5. Taxes
-
Taxes.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable SOW, the prices stated are inclusive of any applicable taxes. All payments will be made net of any withholding tax or any other taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, fees imposed by any governmental, fiscal or other authority as required by law. If UiPath is required to withhold tax or make any other tax deduction from the price, UiPath should withhold or deduct such tax based on the rates applicable under the relevant domestic law, unless Vendor timely provides to UiPath a tax residency certificate and/or any exemption certificate or other document required under such domestic law in order to apply a reduced tax rate or exemption from tax in accordance with a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation. Upon conclusion of the contract, but not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the first payment deadline, if Vendor wishes to benefit from a tax reduction or exemption, Vendor commits itself to make available to UiPath a valid tax residency certificate or other relevant documents valid for the year in which the contract is concluded. Thereafter, if Vendor continuously wishes to benefit from a tax reduction or exemption, for each year in which payments will be made under this agreement, a valid tax residency certificate or other relevant documents must be provided for that year within forty-five (45) days from the beginning of that year. Each of the tax residency certificates or other relevant documents shall be provided in original form by post and a copy by e-mail, or only electronic by e-mail if the local tax authorities are issuing electronic tax residency certificates. -
Beneficiary.
Vendor certifies that it is the beneficial owner of all amounts payable by UiPath to Vendor and that Vendor is a tax resident in its country of incorporation. Otherwise, if Vendor is a tax resident in a country other than its country of incorporation, Vendor shall provide UiPath with a tax residency certificate for the country in which it is claiming tax residency. -
Recoverable Taxes and U.S. Sales and Use Tax (“Transaction Taxes”).
UiPath shall pay or reimburse Vendor for Transaction Taxes imposed on the Services sold to UiPath under this Agreement provided the Transaction Taxes are statutorily imposed either jointly or severally on UiPath. Unless otherwise stipulated in the tax laws, Vendor is solely responsible for charging the applicable Transaction Taxes on its invoices and remitting the same to the relevant tax authorities. UiPath shall pay the agreed amount (including Transaction Taxes) reflected in the invoices. Any failure by Vendor to charge Transaction Taxes or the correct amount of Transaction Taxes on the invoices will not result in a liability to UiPath at a later date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Recoverable Taxes” means value added tax, goods and services tax, or other taxes of a similar nature. -
Default.
Vendor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless UiPath against any costs and liabilities, including interest and penalties arising as a result of breach of this Section.
Section 6. Confidentiality, Privacy & Cybersecurity
-
Confidential Information
Receiving Party will use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and will only disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its Affiliates, its and its Affiliate’s employees, contractors or agents who need to know the Confidential Information and have agreed in writing to confidentiality obligations at least as protective as this Agreement (“Authorized Persons”). Receiving Party is responsible that the Authorized Persons comply with the terms of this Agreement and will be liable for any breach of confidentiality obligations stated herein by the Authorized Persons. Receiving Party’s obligations regarding Confidential Information will remain in full force and effect in perpetuity. All Confidential Information is provided by Disclosing Party “AS IS” and Disclosing Party will not be liable to Receiving Party for any use or reliance upon Confidential Information. Receiving Party acknowledges that unauthorized use or disclosure of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information may cause Disclosing Party irreparable harm and significant damages, the degree of which may be difficult to ascertain. Consequently, Disclosing Party may seek an action to enjoin Receiving Party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions without the necessity of posting a bond, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and Disclosing Party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which Disclosing Party may be entitled at law or in equity. All information furnished by UiPath to Vendor is Confidential Information. -
Permitted disclosure.
If Receiving Party receives a court order or is otherwise required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, Receiving Party will notify Disclosing Party immediately upon receipt of such request so that Disclosing Party has time to object and move for a protective order. Receiving Party will file any Confidential Information under seal or request that the court or administrative body seal the Confidential Information prior to Receiving Party’s disclosure. -
Destruction.
Receiving Party will destroy all materials containing Confidential Information immediately upon termination or expiration of this Agreement or upon request of Disclosing Party, whichever is earlier, and will certify to the Disclosing Party that all Confidential Information has been destroyed. Any Confidential Information retained post termination will not relieve Receiving Party of any obligation of confidentiality or non-use. -
No License.
All Disclosing Party Confidential Information remains the property of Disclosing Party. This Agreement does not constitute a license or similar right to Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. -
Data Privacy.
Each Party shall comply with its obligations under any applicable laws relating to personal data protection (in particular, but not limited to Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”) in connection with its activities under this Agreement.

Each Party is responsible (i) for providing all necessary notices to individuals, including its employees, officers and representatives, to the extent that their personal data is required to be disclosed to, or processed by, the other Party in connection with the Agreement; (ii) for ensuring that in respect of such personal data, it has a valid processing ground under applicable laws relating to personal data protection to share their personal data with the other Party; and (iii) for ensuring that necessary administrative, technical and physical safeguards are implemented in order to protect personal data against any accidental, unauthorized access or unlawful processing, destruction, loss, damage or disclosure and ensure that unauthorized persons do not have access to any equipment used to process or store personal data. Neither Party shall use any personal data it receives in connection with this Agreement other than for the performance of its obligations hereunder. If, as a result of this Agreement or any relevant SOW, Vendor becomes a data processor on behalf of UiPath the data processing agreement (“DPA”) available at https://www.uipath.com/hubfs/legalspot/UiPath_Procurement_DPA_C2P.pdf (or successor website), shall apply, part and parcel to this Agreement. -
Cybersecurity.
Vendor represents and warrants it will implement the technical and organizational security measures described in the UiPath Cybersecurity Requirements, available at https://www.uipath.com/hubfs/legalspot/UiPath_Information_Security_Requirements.pdf, (or successor website), and shall ensure compliance with these provisions by any Vendor Personnel. -
Changes.
Vendor will immediately notify UiPath at privacy@uipath.com if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligation as per the sections above regarding Data Privacy and Cybersecurity and when such a determination is made, Vendor will immediately cease any UiPath Data processing or take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate the nonconformity.

Independent Development.
Vendor understands that UiPath may currently or in the future develop products, software, solutions, tools, and services that may be similar to Vendor’s Services.
