Business Rules as an integral part of their membership

1. Statement |
 |
MARCAS’ philosophy is to obtain for its Members maximum
value goods and services as determined by a combination
of price, quality, assured supply and delivery, technical
innovation, and commitment to cost saving efficiencies.
MARCAS views relationships with both Members and Suppliers
as a business partnership with the focus on achieving
mutually agreed goals in a coordinated and cooperative
manner.
MARCAS will ensure fair competition between Suppliers.
MARCAS, its Members and Suppliers will conduct their
relationship in a fair, open and business like manner
with the emphasis on integrity and transparency.
2. Business Rules |
|
The Member is aware of MARCAS' objectives,
which are to pool resources and negotiate globally on
its Members' behalf with a number of selected Suppliers
in order to obtain the most competitive prices on the
market.
Consequently, the Member agrees to adhere to the following
Business Rules of MARCAS, as an integral part of their
Membership in MARCAS. Failure to comply with such Business
Rules will lead MARCAS to reconsider the Member’s eligibility
to remain as a Member
The Member agrees to observe full confidentiality on
the Supplier’s Agreement and Terms at all times, and
will not attempt to impose such terms directly on a
MARCAS supplier or any non-contracted suppliers of MARCAS.
If the Member wishes to claim under the Price Charter
of MARCAS, the Member will report such claim first to
MARCAS and will not contact MARCAS’ Supplier direct.
If a Member acts on behalf of several clients, the Member
will apply the same terms and contract prices to all
clients in order to maintain consistency of contract
prices.
The Member will designate a key account representative
within their organisation who will solely deal with
MARCAS in case of disputes or claims under the Price
Charter with a contracted Supplier. The key account
representative will make sure that all the facts are
known prior to reporting the case to MARCAS in order
to enable MARCAS to deal with the matter in the most
efficient manner. The Member agrees that in any disputes
with a contracted Supplier, MARCAS will act as a mediator
in attempting to resolve the dispute in a commercial
manner which is fair to both parties, and the Member
further agrees that the decision of MARCAS in relation
to disputes and claims under the price charter will
be binding.
The Member undertakes to comply with the payment terms
of the contracted Suppliers and agrees to pay any penalty
or late interest on invoices not settled in accordance
with these terms. The Member will agree, subject to
valid disputes and claims, that the Suppliers' statements,
with invoice dates and dates of collection are binding.
It will be the sole responsibility of the Member to
resolve any credit problems with his own clients.
The Member confirms that it has in its organisation
an adequate and computerised budget planning and monitoring
system allowing accurate reporting of volumes to MARCAS,
and therefore significant variances from the volumes
estimated by the Member will be reported immediately
to MARCAS. The Member acknowledges that MARCAS can only
provide competitive prices if MARCAS can rely on estimates
of volumes given by the Members when negotiating with
Suppliers.
The Member confirms that its organisation adheres to
the most up to date standards of quality and safety
and is committed to the highest business standards. |
