星展(台灣)商業銀行股份有限公司採購－標準條款與條件
1. 單一採購訂單：下列條款與條件及採購訂單（「訂單」）隨星展銀行提出的其他要求，已構成採購訂單指定收受人（「供應商」）與星展(台灣)商業銀行股份有限公司（「星展銀行」）間，對於供應與採購本契約列載之商品及／或服務（「商品」）的完整合意。供應商之書面確認或接受本訂單，或接受星展銀行之保證金（若有要求），或供應商或其代表行使任何符合接受訂單之其他行為時（以先發生者為準），均構成供應商無條件接受訂單及此不開放協商之條款與條件。供應商必須在各訂單提出日起三(3)天內，使用上述方式表示無條件確認或接受，否則，星展銀行無義務採購訂單上之商品。若任何供應商文件中提出之任何條款（包括但不限於任何訂單之接受或確認書、包裝清單、送貨單或發票）的目的，在於增加、不同於訂單條款或與其衝突時，應對雙方均無效、不具拘束力、不產生拒絕訂單之效力，亦不影響本契約具有拘束力之義務的有效性。如果將訂單視為接受供應商先前提出之要約，則此接受僅限於訂單上明確規定的條款與條件，且訂單應取代先前訂單之標的事項的所有相關優惠、討論及／或協議。星展銀行有權在供應商無條件接受訂單之前取消、更改或撤銷訂單。
2. 價格、發票與付款：未經星展銀行事前書面同意，依據訂單供應之商品不得採用較訂單正面顯示之價格更高的金額開立發票。依據法律針對本契約應付款項徵收的所有商品與服務稅及加值型營業稅，均應由星展銀行根據星展銀行 Coupa 之明細發票上反映的商品與服務稅(VAT)金額負擔，而所有其他稅捐（包括代扣繳所得稅）、關稅、核定稅額、稅賦及規費則由供應商負擔。若任何政府針對本契約任何應付款項徵收任何代扣繳所得稅，則應由供應商承擔所有此類代扣繳所得稅，星展銀行將會從支付予供應商的付款金額中扣除此類稅額，然後將餘額電匯給供應商，而無義務將原該筆付款或支付代扣繳之金額返還供應商。除星展銀行另有書面指示外，供應商應於交付商品，並經星展銀行書面驗收後，開立發票向星展銀行請款。發票須逐項列出相關交通費、保險費及稅額。若價格從採購訂單中省略，價格為星展銀行自行決定的當時最低市價。包裝（包括重新包裝）、標籤、佣金、關稅、倉儲、裝箱或快遞處理等費用，除非在訂單中明確約定，否則不予支付。星展銀行得針對依據訂單應付之所有款項進行扣款、交互計算或抵銷，包括因訂單或與供應商或其任何相關公司間之任何其他交易而產生的請求權。所有發票均應寄到星展銀行：[*]。星展銀行應於收到發票後三十(30)天內，依據下列原則進行付款： (a)所有付款均依據中華民國法律之規定進行，(b) 所有發票均應 (i) 註明採購訂單號碼、(ii) 一式兩份、(iii) 檢附星展銀行相關授權人員正式簽名蓋章的證明文件、(iv) 以約定之幣別提交。不符上述要求之發票將拒收，並退回供應商，且星展銀行在收到適當及更正後的發票之前，無須負擔支付任何此類款項的責任或義務，於此情況下，三十(30)天之付款期限，應自收到適當及更正後的發票之日算起。

17. 爭議解決：訂單引起或相關之任何爭議或求償，包括其存在、有效性或終止的任何相關問題（「求償」），均應由星展銀行與供應商進行友好協商解決。若自一方首次通知之日起十五(15)天內仍無法解決求償問題時，任一方均有權提出法律訴訟，基於此目的，雙方茲此同意以台灣台北地方法院為第一審管轄法院。
18. 通則：除訂單中明定者外，本訂單僅得以雙方授權代表人書面簽署之方式進行修改。未經星展銀行事前書面同意，不得在任何印刷品或宣傳資料或其他宣傳活動提及星展銀行
（不得無理由保留此同意）。
19. 供應商支付不能：在不影響第 5 條規定或星展銀行可主張的任何其他權利或救濟權下，若供應商出現支付不能之狀態或破產，或經選任接管人及／或管理人接管經銷商或其任何部分之事業或資產，或成為司法管理裁定之主體，或基於其債權人之利益達成任何妥協方案或安排或進行其他轉讓，或停止或可能停止業務經營，或其全部或部分財產遭到或執行徵收，或以書面承認在債務到期時無力清償，或經銷商依據任何破產、支付不能或其他債務人救濟法律之規定提出任何類型之聲請時，星展銀行得書面通知供應商立即全部或部分終止訂單，且無須對供應商負任何責任。
20. 禁止轉包或轉讓：除經星展銀行事前書面同意外，經銷商不得轉包、轉讓或以其他方式移轉訂單之全部或部分，否則對星展銀行不具拘束力。在不影響上述規定下，供應商仍必須對於適當履行訂單負責，因此其轉包商之任何作為或不作為、違反或未遵守契約之行為，均應視為供應商之作為、不作為或未遵守契約之行為。星展銀行有權將其於訂單中之全部或部分權利與義務，移轉或轉讓給任何相關公司或其所吸收合併、新設合併或存續合併，或轉讓其全部或實質上全部資產的法人，並將上述轉讓書面通知供應商。
21. 棄權：星展銀行未能或遲延行使本契約之任何權利、權力或特權，不代表放棄該權利、權力或特權或任何其他標的、權利、權力或特權之效力。若星展銀行行使任何棄權時，將會以書面及經其授權代表人簽署的方式為之。

24. 無不當付款：供應商保證，未為了取得或保留業務，或取得訂單或其相關之不當商業利益，而提供任何不道德或非法款項給任何個人或法人。
25. 無拘束之權限：供應商係以獨立承包商之身分供應商品給星展銀行，無論現在或未來均不會與星展銀行建立合夥或合資企業關係，或成為星展銀行之員工、僱員或代理人。雙方均無權以任何方式拘束他方或代表他方做出承諾，或聲稱可拘束他方或代表他方做出承諾，或為任何目的而質押他方之信用。
