Common use of Multi-Vendor Environment Clause in Contracts

Multi-Vendor Environment. Supplier acknowledges that it will be delivering the Services in a multi-vendor environment, with Gap and the Gap Third Party Vendor(s) providing services relating to the Gap IT Environment. Effective operation of such an environment requires not only the cooperation among all service providers, including Supplier, but also collaboration in addressing service-related issues that may cross over from one service area or provider to another and related to the Services (“Cross-Over Issues”). As part of the Services, Supplier will actively provide and support tasks associated with operating and maintaining a collaborative approach to Cross-Over Issues in the same manner as if the Supplier Service relevant to the Cross-Over Issue was being provided in-house by Gap rather than by Supplier. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify all work efforts and deliverables of which Supplier has knowledge, whether performed by Supplier, Subcontractors, Supplier Third Party Vendors, Gap, or the Gap Third Party Vendor(s) that may impact the delivery of the Services (the “Service Interdependency”).
