  1. Request correction;

Where a vendor creates work specifically for CLNN, ownership and licensing arrangements will be determined by the applicable agreement.

Vendors must not reproduce, sell, distribute or commercially exploit CLNN’s confidential or proprietary material without appropriate authorisation.

  5. Applicable taxes;

CLNN may suspend or remove a vendor from its approved or potential vendor list where there is:

  1. Poor performance;
  2. Repeated delivery failure;
  3. Material breach of contractual terms;
