Common use of Division of roles and responsibilities — Responsibilities towards the granting authority Clause in Contracts

Division of roles and responsibilities — Responsibilities towards the granting authority. The beneficiaries are formal parties to the Grant Agreement (they sign the Grant Agreement or Accession Forms) and thus have full responsibility for implementing the action properly and for complying with the obligations under the Grant Agreement (see Article 11). This means that: − each beneficiary must ensure that it complies with its GA obligations − each beneficiary must ensure swift and proper implementation of the action (i.e. that there are no delays and that the work is done properly) − each beneficiary is responsible (towards the granting authority) for the tasks performed by its subcontractors, affiliated entities and associated partners − the granting authority is NOT responsible for the implementation of the action and has NO responsibility for the way in which the action is conducted (or any adverse consequences). The beneficiaries are jointly responsible for the technical implementation of the action. This means that they (and all new beneficiaries added later on during the project through an amendment) accept that they are together responsible for fully implementing the whole project. If one of them withdraws, the remaining partners must carry out the action as set out in the description of the action (DoA; Annex 1) — including the part of the defaulting beneficiary. They will have to do this without any additional funding. The Grant Agreement will have to be amended, in order to redistribute the tasks, terminate the beneficiary’s participation, and/or add a new beneficiary (see Article 39).
