1. CONTRACT TERMS
The purchase order or purchase form ("Purchase Order") provided, together with these terms and conditions ("Terms"), and any attachments, annexes, instructions, and other information, whether physically attached or incorporated by reference (collectively referred to as the "Contract"), constitute the entire agreement between the entity of Mr and Mrs Punta Cana identified in the Purchase Order ("Mr and Mrs Punta Cana") and you or your affiliated entity identified in the Purchase Order (hereinafter referred to as the "Supplier"). The submission of the Purchase Order by Mr and Mrs Punta Cana is conditioned upon the Supplier's agreement that the Purchase Order and these Terms shall govern and expressly supersede any different or additional terms in the Purchase Order, whether in written or oral form, regardless of the date, even if the Supplier claims to condition its acceptance of the Purchase Order on Mr and Mrs Punta Cana's agreement to such different or additional terms. The Supplier's electronic acceptance, as well as its acknowledgment of a Purchase Order or commencement of performance, shall constitute the Supplier's acceptance of these Terms. Mr and Mrs Punta Cana reserves the right to revoke the Purchase Order prior to acceptance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a master agreement covering the acquisition of the Products and/or Services described in the Purchase Order between the Supplier and Mr and Mrs Punta Cana, the terms of that master agreement shall govern in case of any inconsistencies with the terms herein.
2. ORDER AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS
2.1 The Supplier agrees to deliver the products indicated in the Purchase Order ("Products") on the date or dates specified in the Purchase Order ("Delivery Date") in accordance with the Purchase Order. Time is of the essence with respect to the Supplier's performance of the obligations assumed hereunder. The Supplier shall promptly inform Mr and Mrs Punta Cana in the event that the timely performance by the Supplier in accordance with the Purchase Order is delayed or likely to be delayed. Mr and Mrs Punta Cana's acceptance of the Supplier's notification shall not constitute a waiver by Mr and Mrs Punta Cana of any claims regarding the Supplier's obligations.
2.2 If the Supplier delivers the Products after the Delivery Date, Mr and Mrs Punta Cana may reject such Products.
2.3 Mr and Mrs Punta Cana shall hold the rejected Products in accordance with the Purchase Order at the risk and expense of the Supplier, including storage charges, while awaiting shipping instructions for the return of the Products from the Supplier. The Supplier shall bear all costs of shipping the returns, including, among others, insurance charges incurred by Mr and Mrs Punta Cana on behalf of the Supplier.
2.4 The Supplier shall handle, pack, package, and handle the Products in a manner that protects them against loss or damage and in accordance with best commercial practices, in the absence of specific instructions from Mr and Mrs Punta Cana. Without limiting the foregoing, the Supplier shall comply with the requirements of local laws and regulations regarding hazardous materials, including, among others, those concerning accompanying information, packaging, labeling, reporting, transportation, and disposal.
2.5 The Supplier shall include in each delivery of Products a packing list that identifies the Purchase Order number, a description and quantity of each Product, and the date of shipment.
2.6 Unless otherwise expressly indicated by Mr and Mrs Punta Cana, the Supplier shall deliver all Products to the facilities of Mr and Mrs Punta Cana at the address specified in the Purchase Order. The Supplier shall be responsible for all shipping and delivery charges, including, among others, customs costs, duties, expenses, taxes, and insurance. The risk of loss of the Products shall not transfer to Mr and Mrs Punta Cana until acceptance in accordance with Section 3.
2.7 Mr and Mrs Punta Cana shall have the right, at any time, to make changes to the specifications, materials, packaging, delivery date and location, and method of transportation in accordance with this agreement. If any of these changes would cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for performance hereunder, an equitable adjustment shall be made and this Purchase Order shall be accordingly modified in writing.
3. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF PRODUCTS
Mr and Mrs Punta Cana may reject each and every Product that does not meet the respective requirements within 15 business days of the Supplier's delivery of the Products. At the discretion of Mr and Mrs Punta Cana, Mr and Mrs Punta Cana may (i) return the non-compliant Products to the Supplier for a refund or credit; (ii) require the Supplier to reship the non-compliant Products; or (iii) repair the non-compliant Products to bring them into compliance. Alternatively, in lieu of (i) to (iii), Mr and Mrs Punta Cana may accept the non-compliant Products on the condition that the Supplier provides a refund or credit for an amount that Mr and Mrs Punta Cana deems reasonable to represent the diminished value of the non-compliant Products. Mr and Mrs Punta Cana's payment to the Supplier for the Products prior to timely rejection by Mr and Mrs Punta Cana for non-compliance with the requirements shall not be deemed acceptance by Mr and Mrs Punta Cana.
4. SERVICE PERFORMANCE
4.1 The Supplier shall provide services related to the Products and/or as indicated in the Purchase Order ("Services"). At any time, Mr and Mrs Punta Cana may issue additional instructions, request additional Services, or reduce or waive the Services covered by the applicable Purchase Order.

Any claim by the Supplier for increased compensation must be made within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the written notice of the change in Services or delivery of adjusted or new Services.

5.3 The Supplier shall provide a detailed description of the Services, any additional Products or expenses incurred by the Supplier, and shall attach receipts related to such expenses when available. Mr and Mrs Punta Cana will not reimburse cash payments to Suppliers, contractors, or subcontractors unless previously approved in writing by the applicable regional team, which can be contacted at concierge13@mrandmrspuntacana.com. All invoices and/or receipts must accurately report the use of any cash funds used in connection with these Terms and Conditions and must not under any circumstances cover up, misdescribe, or fail to disclose any payments to third parties. Any cash payment must comply with all applicable anti-corruption regulations, including, but not limited to, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977.
