Common use of Member-required Participation Agreement Clause in Contracts

Member-required Participation Agreement. (MPA) In order to access this Contract, some members require jurisdiction-specific additional paperwork or contract language. Vendor must not sign any member documents without prior MMCAP review and approval. If needed, MMCAP will issue a Member-requested Participation Agreement (MPA) that will be amended into this Contract. The MPA, which will only apply to the requesting Member and must be signed in the following order: Member, Vendor, then MMCAP. Vendor is not required to agree to any additional terms; however, by not agreeing to the MPA Vendor may be precluded from doing business with that Member. In the event a Member requires a fee be added to the Contract price (e.g., member levied procurement fee or system use fee), that fee must be added on top of the MMCAP-contracted pricing. Vendor may not absorb the fee. Vendor must not pay a member-levied fee without first collecting the fee through increased product costs. The fees will be set aside and paid to the member as would be detailed in an MPA.
