Last Updated: December 2023

TANIUM TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE  

If the parties have entered into a separate agreement governing the purchase of products and services (“Existing Agreement”) by Tanium Inc. or one of its affiliates (“Tanium“), the Existing Agreement will govern. In the absence of an Existing Agreement, the purchase order, together with these terms and conditions, and any attachments and exhibits physically attached or incorporated by reference (collectively the “Purchase Order”), constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between Tanium and the vendor (“Supplier”) identified in the Purchase Order. No other terms, whether communicated orally or contained in any purchase order confirmation, invoice, acknowledgment, release, acceptance or other written correspondence, irrespective of the timing, will form a part of the Purchase Order, even if Supplier purports to condition its acceptance of the Purchase Order on Tanium’s agreement to such different or additional terms. Supplier’s acceptance of the 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 Supplier’s acceptance or performance. Regardless of its construction as an offer, acceptance, confirmation or use to place orders for goods or services pursuant to an earlier contract, this Purchase Order incorporates by reference all terms of the Uniform Commercial Code providing any protection for a buyer, including, without limitation, all express and implied warranty protection and all buyer’s remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code.

As an alternative to (i) through (iii), Tanium may accept the non-conforming Work conditioned on Supplier providing a refund or credit in an amount Tanium reasonably determines to represent the diminished value of the non-conforming Work. Tanium’s payment to Supplier for Work prior to Tanium’s timely rejection of such Work as non-conforming will not be deemed as acceptance by Tanium.

6.1   As used in this Section, a “Change” means a change to the Work that either party directs or causes within the general scope of this Purchase Order or the applicable SOW.

6.2   A party seeking a Change shall propose the applicable changes in writing to the other party.
