NERT Facility Solutions – Vendor Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: 3/20/2026


1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accepting any Work Order (“WO”), Purchase Order (“PO”), performing any work, or submitting an invoice to NERT Facility Solutions LLC (“NERT”), Vendor agrees to be bound by these Vendor Terms & Conditions.

If Vendor has executed a separate written Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) with NERT, the terms of that MSA shall govern and control to the extent of any conflict.

These Terms are intended to supplement, and not replace, any executed MSA, and shall not modify or amend any executed MSA except where expressly agreed to in writing by NERT.

For all Work Orders issued after the effective date of these Terms, NERT reserves the right to require Vendor to execute an updated MSA or agree to revised terms as a condition of receiving additional Work Orders.

In the absence of a current executed MSA acceptable to NERT, these Vendor Terms & Conditions shall govern all work performed.

These Terms supersede any conflicting or additional terms contained in Vendor proposals, estimates, invoices, or communications unless expressly agreed to in writing by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of NERT.

Vendor’s acceptance may be evidenced by:

  • Written or email acceptance

  • Commencement of work

  • Submission of an invoice


2. WORK AUTHORIZATION

  • No work shall be performed without a valid WO issued by NERT.

  • A PO alone does not authorize work unless accompanied by a WO.

  • Any work performed without proper authorization may be denied payment in full.

All work must be performed strictly in accordance with the approved scope, pricing, and requirements. Any deviations must be approved in writing prior to execution.

Time is of the essence for all work performed.


3. PAYMENT TERMS

  • Payment terms are customer-specific and will be outlined in the applicable WO or PO.

    • Work is fully completed in accordance with the WO/PO

    • All required documentation has been properly submitted and approved

    • Work has been accepted by the customer

  • Paid-When-Paid: Payment to Vendor is expressly contingent upon NERT receiving payment from its customer.

  • Payment may be delayed in the event of:

    • Customer non-payment

    • Disputes or audits

    • Customer insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceedings

Vendor agrees that such delays do not constitute a breach by NERT.

  • NERT reserves the right to:

    • Withhold payment

    • Apply offsets or backcharges

    • Deny payment for non-compliant work

  • Any deviation from these terms must be approved in writing by the CFO.
