Unity PO T&Cs

Unity Purchase Order Terms and Conditions

We, Unity Technologies and our corporate affiliates (“Unity”), provide these guidelines for our service providers and vendors that are engaged with us to provide goods and/or services.

By engaging with Unity as a vendor for the supply of good and/services (“Vendor”), you as a Vendor agree that these Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) are between Unity and Vendor and govern the engagement through a Purchase Order or any similar document (“PO” and together with T&C’s, the “Agreement”).

1. Agreement.

The PO is Unity’s offer to Vendor to purchase the ordered goods (“Goods”) and/or the ordered services (“Services”). It is not Unity’s acceptance of Vendor’s offer to sell or of any terms or conditions contained in such offer.
1. This PO, subject to these T&Cs, are accepted by Vendor when Vendor does any of the following: (a) starts performance of this PO; or (b) delivers the Goods.
Unless Unity otherwise expressly agrees in writing, Unity hereby rejects and objects to any additional or different terms proposed by Vendor, except for any warranties given by Vendor with respect to Goods or Services in addition to those provided in Section 9 (Warranty and Unity’s Remedies) below. Any reference in the PO to any Vendor proposal or other Vendor specifications is solely for the purpose of incorporating the descriptions and specifications of the Goods and/or Services contained in the proposal, and only to the extent that the terms of the Vendor proposal do not conflict with the descriptions and Specifications set out in the PO.
Any rights of Unity under this Agreement to purchase Goods or Services may be exercised by any Unity Affiliate. An “Affiliate” shall be any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Unity.

2. Payment.

Fees for Goods and Services are listed in the PO. Unless otherwise stated in the PO, prices are inclusive of all applicable taxes and fees.
1. Unity may withhold and remit applicable taxes due in respect of Goods or Services, and Vendor is responsible for remitting all other taxes and fees related to (a) the performance of its obligations; and (b) its receipt of payments.
Unless otherwise specified in the PO, subject to Clauses 4 and 5, as applicable, (a) all Fees are due and payable in U.S. Dollars; (b) Vendor may invoice Unity for the Fees upon completed delivery of Goods and/or performance of the Services; (c) Vendor will invoice in accordance with the requirements detailed in Exhibit A; and (d) upon acceptance of Vendor’s invoice, Unity will pay Vendor based on the Payment Terms listed on the PO.
Unity may offset or deduct any amount owed to Unity by Vendor from any Fees due to Vendor by Unity, whether under this PO or otherwise.
Unity may withhold payment of any invoiced amounts that are disputed in good faith until the parties reach an agreement with respect to such disputed amounts.
1. Withholding of disputed amounts shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unity agrees to pay the balance of any undisputed amounts on any invoice that is the subject of any dispute within the time periods specified herein.

3. Delivery.

Goods shall be delivered to, and Services shall be performed at the “Ship To” address on the PO (“Delivery Site”) by the delivery date.
Title passes to Unity upon delivery and unloading of Goods to the Delivery Site.
Vendor bears all risk of loss or damage to Goods until timely delivery and unloading of Goods to the Delivery Site.
If Vendor uses a third party for delivery of Goods, it shall provide Unity all shipping documents (each of which will include Unity’s complete PO number), including the commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill/bill of lading and any other documents necessary to release Goods to Unity within one (1) business day after Vendor delivers Goods to the transportation carrier.
No charges will be allowed for freight, transportation, insurance, shipping, storage, handling, demurrage, cartage, or packaging unless provided for in the applicable PO or otherwise agreed to in writing by Unity.
Vendor shall follow Unity’s instructions and cooperate with Unity’s customs broker (including by providing shipping documentation) with respect to all Goods shipped internationally.

4. Inspection; Acceptance.

Unity may inspect and accept or reject all or any portion of Goods if they determine Goods are nonconforming or defective.
If Vendor installs Goods at the Delivery Site, they will test Goods prior to Unity’s inspection thereof.
Upon deciding that Goods are nonconforming or defective (“Defective Goods”), Unity has the right, upon written notice to Vendor, to:
1. rescind the Agreement and return Defective Goods to Vendor at Vendor’s expense; or
2. reject Goods and, at Vendors expense, return and require replacement of Defective Goods.
  1. This clause shall not affect Vendor’s obligations, and Unity may conduct further inspections after Vendor has carried out its remedial actions.
Unity’s count shall govern except in case of proven error.
Neither receipt of delivery nor payment by Unity shall constitute acceptance.
Title to rejected Goods that are returned to Vendor shall transfer to Vendor upon such delivery.

5. Change Order.

Unity may, by written notice to Vendor, make any changes it deems necessary, including, but not limited to, changes in specifications, design, delivery, testing methods, packing, or destination (a “Change Order”).
If any such required changes cause a change in cost or time of performance, an equitable adjustment will be made.
Vendor’s claim for adjustment shall be waived unless asserted in writing within 10 days from Vendor’s receipt of Change Order.
Price increases, extensions of time for delivery and change in quantity shall not be binding on Unity unless a Change Order is issued and signed by Unity.

6. Cancellation.

Unity has the right to cancel the Agreement without any obligation to pay Vendor (a) at any time prior to Vendor’s shipment of Goods (unless Goods are custom-made/ordered for Unity) or substantial performance of Services; (b) if Goods or Services are not delivered by the delivery date indicated on the PO or, if no date is specified, within a reasonable time; (c) if Vendor fails to provide Goods or Services that conform to warranties in Clause 9; (d) if Unity reasonably believes that Vendor may not be able to perform its obligations, and Vendor does not provide adequate assurance of its ability to perform within five (5) business days after Unity’s request; (e) for any other good and sufficient reason.
Time is of the essence in the delivery of Goods and Services.

7. Confidentiality.

“Confidential Information” whether written, oral, or observed is defined as: (a) this Agreement; (b) information relating to a party’s business, strategy, projects, finances, contracts, events, partners, vendors, or event; and (c) any other information a party labels or indicates, or provides under circumstances reasonably indicating that it should be treated as confidential or proprietary.
Recipient will use Confidential Information only to perform its obligations under this Agreement and will not disclose Confidential Information to a third party without discloser’s prior written consent, except to the extent required by law, regulation, or court order, in which case recipient shall promptly inform discloser of the same.
The provisions of this clause will not apply to information or material that (a) is generally available as part of the public domain prior to disclosure hereunder, or becomes so available through no fault of recipient; (b) was rightfully in recipient’s possession at the time of disclosure, without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (c) recipient rightfully receives from a third party without restriction as to use or disclosure.

8. Compliance and Sustainability.

Vendor agrees to employ commercially reasonable efforts to become and remain in compliance with Unity’s Environmental, Social and Governance guidelines, as published on Unity’s website, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement in a way that minimizes negative impacts on climate change and biodiversity.

9. Equal Employment Opportunity.

If Vendor's primary place of business is located in the United States, Unity and Vendor shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a). These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or for inquiring about, discussing, or disclosing information about compensation. Moreover, these regulations require that Unity and Vendor take affirmative actions to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.

10. Independent Contractor, Work Authorization, and Insurance.

Vendor will act and represent itself as an independent contractor, not as an employee, partner, or agent of Unity.
Vendor has no authority to bind Unity by contract or otherwise.
Vendor acknowledges Unity will not carry any liability insurance on behalf of Vendor.
During the term of this Agreement, Vendor, except those who are individuals and not companies, will, at its sole expense, obtain and maintain in full force and effect insurance sufficient to cover the liabilities taken on by it under this Agreement.

19. General.

This Agreement is the complete and exclusive understanding between the parties regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all proposals, understandings or communications between the parties, oral or written, unless parties have executed a separate agreement governing the Goods and Services which covers the subject matter hereof, in which case the separate agreement(s) will control.
This Agreement may be amended only by a subsequent written instrument signed by authorized representatives of Unity.
Vendor may not assign this Agreement without Unity’s prior written consent.
If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof. All other provisions shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be enforceable against that party unless it is in writing and signed by that party.
These T&C may be periodically updated so it is the responsibility of the Vendor to review the T&C that are supplied with each new PO.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the Parties.
