12. DIRECT BILLING
In the event, invoicing is made directly to the End User, because of the business/project brokered by BUYER, to whom the Proposal is addressed, the latter (BUYER, capturer of the business/project) assumes the following obligations vis-à-vis TD SYNNEX: (a) to ensure that End User has full knowledge of the contents of this instrument, obtaining its acceptance of these terms and conditions; (b) to keep the End User’s registration with TD SYNNEX duly completed and updated; (c) to be jointly and severally liable to TD SYNNEX for the End User’s default, in the following cases: c.1) in case it does not obtain from the End User, to whom the Goods are destined, the express and irrevocable acceptance of the contents of this instrument and of the respective invoicing; c.2) if it does not keep the End User’s registration correctly updated in TD SYNNEX’s database; and c.3) if the End User refuses to pay for the supply because of an act or omission attributable to BUYER. Failure to comply with any of the obligations set forth in this Section shall entitle TD SYNNEX to make, regardless of prior notice or acceptance, compensation for the amount corresponding to the verified damage or loss of profit, including in respect of charges (correction, interest and penalty) not received by reason of the End User’s delay, in any payment that BUYER is entitled to receive from TD SYNNEX.
The commission shall be due to BUYER only after TD SYNNEX receives total payment of the adjusted amounts for the brokered supply, there being no right or claim of BUYER before such payment has occurred. If partial payments occur, the commission shall be paid pro rata, based on the partial payments. Unless otherwise stated, payment of the commission shall be made to BUYER, no later than (15) fifteen calendar days after TD SYNNEX actually receives from End User the amounts due to it. BUYER shall issue the corresponding invoices for the commission service or commercial intermediation after confirmation that TD SYNNEX has received the adjusted amounts for the sale.
The description of the services linked to the invoice must include the details of the fees that make up the total amount invoiced. The respective payment schedule shall follow the internal rules of TD SYNNEX. The calculation of the commissions will always be made on the basis of the calculation formula determined by TD SYNNEX and using the same exchange rate used by TD SYNNEX in its invoicing, regardless of the exchange rate eventually used by the BUYER in its business. BUYER agrees to reimburse TD SYNNEX for any sales commission paid in error at the time prior to actual receipt of the adjusted amounts for the sale.
BUYER expressly authorizes the withholding and offsetting of commissions owed to it in the event it is indebted to TD SYNNEX, regardless of prior consent or communication. Due to TD SYNNEX’s operating circumstances, BUYER acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it must send TD SYNNEX invoices for payment of commissions no later than 120 (one hundred and twenty) days from the date on which payments are made to TD SYNNEX by the respective End Users, under penalty of forfeiture of the respective commission; and (ii) if there is a delay of more than 180 (one hundred and eighty) days in relation to the total payment due to TD SYNNEX by the respective End Users, the loss of the respective commission will occur, even if the End Users make the payment of the debt after such period.

Once accepted by TD SYNNEX, BUYER may not cancel the Purchase Order for any reason (including but not limited to dollar fluctuations, events related to the Vendor’s Products, events or conduct related to the Vendor, commercial issues related to BUYER, etc.), and therefore BUYER must purchase and pay for all the Goods ordered.
