CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

C-212-W001 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS—COMMERCIAL ITEMS ADDENDUM TO 52.212-4

(NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(o) Warranty -- append the following to paragraph (o):

The contractor shall extend to the Government the full coverage of any standard commercial warranty normally offered in a similar commercial sale at no additional cost to the Government. Acceptance of the standard commercial warranty does not waive the Government's rights under the "Inspection" clause nor does it limit the Government's rights with regard to the other terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions of the contract shall take precedence over the standard commercial warranty. The standard commercial warranty period shall begin upon final acceptance of the applicable material and/or services listed in the Schedule.

The contractor shall provide a copy of its standard commercial warranty (if applicable) with its offer. The warranty covers a period of months. (Offeror is to insert number.)

The following information is hereby appended to the clause:

(w) Data Rights. The Government shall have data rights to all data generated under this contract or order in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7015.

(x) Ordering. The agency authorized to place delivery orders against this contract is: [Add ordering activity name].

Delivery orders will be placed against this contract, by the Government, using the SF 1449.

(End of text)

C-212-W002 COMMERCIAL SUPPLIER AGREEMENTS (NAVSEA) (MAR 2019)

(a) Commercial Supplier Agreement means End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(b) Any Commercial Supplier Agreement must be provided in full text as part of a quote or offer without hyperlinks.

(c) The contract/order Schedule and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Items, shall take precedence over any conflicting provisions in a Commercial Supplier Agreement.

(d) If any requirement in the Commercial Supplier Agreement conflicts with Federal law or regulations (see FAR 12.212(a)), the following shall apply:

(i) Any such requirement is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such requirement by virtue of it appearing in the Commercial Supplier Agreement. If the Commercial Supplier Agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such requirement.

(iii) Any such requirement is deemed to be stricken from the Commercial Supplier Agreement.

(e) Automatic renewals. License Agreements will expire at end of the term identified in the Purchase Order/Contract. Automatic renewals are not permitted and any such provision is void.

(f) Changes to the Commercial Supplier Agreement. Unilateral changes of the Commercial Supplier Agreement are impermissible and any requirement authorizing such changes is unenforceable. Changes must be in writing and executed by both parties to be effective.

(g) Third Part License (Embedded Software).

(i) The Contractor agrees that it has obtained all necessary licenses for the Government for any third party materials (including without limitation all Open Source licenses) provided within the product.

(ii) Contractor agrees that it complies with and shall continue to comply with all of its obligations under Third Party Licenses (including without limitation all Open Source licenses) associated with any third party materials provided within each product.

(iii) To the extent that the Government’s use of the software products licensed herein is in compliance with the Contractor’s Commercial Supplier Agreement, the Government’s use will also be in compliance with any Third Party Licenses.

(h) Audits. In lieu of any audit provisions in the Commercial Supplier Agreement, the Government agrees that, no more than once every twelve (12) months or within a reasonable time after a transfer, the Contractor shall, upon reasonable notice, have the right to require that the Government conduct an internal audit to ascertain and verify the number of licenses in use and to verify that the Government’s use of the product is in conformity with this Agreement. The Government is not required to use any tools provided by the Contractor to conduct the audit and shall not be required to pay for any tools provided by the Contractor to conduct the audit. The results of any such audit shall be kept confidential.

If verification discloses that the Government’s use is not in conformity with this Agreement, the Government agrees to resolve any noncompliance by either removing or correcting the unlicensed installation and use of the software identified by the audit as not in conformity with this Agreement.

(i) Confidentiality. Commercial Supplier Agreements’ terms and the final contract pricing may not be deemed confidential. Other marked confidential information will be appropriately guarded.

(j) Assignment. The Government shall have the right, without the prior written consent of the Contractor or its authorized resellers, to assign, reassign, or transfer software licenses among Government employees or the Government’s rights in the Contractor’s product to any governmental organization that is managed, operated, or controlled by the Government.

Such authorization includes sublicensing, and assignment or transfer among or between authorized users. In the event authorized users are reorganized or restructured such that their responsibilities and operations are transferred to another government agency, the agency shall have the right to assign the affected program licenses to a successor agency. The licensed agency and the successor agency agree to be bound to the Commercial Supplier Agreement as modified. The transferee shall be bound by the license metrics and limitations in this license. Government shall complete any documentation required by the Contractor to facilitate the transfer of this license, and continuation of support shall be the responsibility of the transferee.

For the avoidance of doubt, any assignment or transfer of licenses of the Contractor’s products is also subject to all other terms of the Commercial Supplier Agreement, as well as the Contractor’s policies governing product dependencies and version compatibility. Reassignment does not require that the license be under maintenance or support in order to execute a transfer.

(k) Litigation. Any requirement insisting that the commercial supplier or licensor control any litigation arising from the government’s use of the contractor’s supplies or services is deleted and unenforceable.

(l) Equitable Remedies. Equitable remedies, injunctive relief, and binding arbitration requirements shall not be enforced unless explicitly authorized by agency guidance or statute.

(m) Venue. Any claim or dispute shall be resolved under the Contract Disputes Act and FAR 52.233-1. The forum for resolution of disputes and applicable statutes of limitation shall be governed by federal law.

(n) Applicable law. In accordance with FAR 52.233-4, United States law shall apply to resolve any claim of breach of this contract and such actions shall be handled in the applicable Federal court of jurisdiction.

C-239-W001 ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (EIT) ACCESSIBILITY

STANDARDS/SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)
