Standard Terms and Conditions for the supply/provision of Goods

Goods/services must conform strictly to the order and be fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. Non-conforming goods/services may be rejected; the supplier must rectify defects or supply replacements at its expense within the specified delivery times. Goods are subject to such testing and/or inspection as Transnet may consider necessary. Transnet may raise a Non-Conformance Report (NCR) for goods/services not meeting Transnet standards, specifications, or requirements, directing the supplier to investigate and remedy within a stipulated timeframe. Failure to comply with an NCR entitles Transnet to impose further conditions or terminate the order without written notice.

Standard payment terms are 30 days from date of receipt by Transnet of a month-end statement and a valid tax invoice with supporting documentation, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payment is made in South African currency. Prices specified in an order cannot be increased. Transnet may deduct or set off amounts due, including bank charges. Non-compliance penalties for subcontracting are calculated at 100% of the undelivered subcontracting value plus an additional 10%, payable within 10 business days of a valid tax invoice from Transnet. VAT on penalties is for the supplier's account.

The supplier must not be listed on the National Treasury's Register of Tender Defaulters or List of Restricted Suppliers. Subcontracting requires Transnet's prior approval; undeclared subcontracting attracts a penalty of up to 10% of the contract value. The supplier may not subcontract in a manner that reduces local production and content below the stipulated minimum threshold. No more than 25% of the contract value may be subcontracted to an enterprise with a lower B-BBEE status level than the supplier, unless subcontracted to a capable Exempted Micro Enterprise (EME). Cession of payment rights requires Transnet's prior written approval and is limited to transfer to a Financial Service Provider or State Institution. Assignment of rights and obligations to perform is prohibited. The supplier must observe the Transnet Supplier Integrity Pact.

The supplier is liable for acts, omissions, and defaults of its personnel or agents on Transnet premises, who must comply with Transnet's health and safety, security, and system security rules and procedures. Personal information processing must comply with POPIA, including accountability, processing limitation, purpose specification, information quality, openness, security safeguards, and data subject participation. Parties must process personal information only for the express purpose obtained, destroy or de-identify it once the purpose is fulfilled (subject to legal retention), restrict access to authorised personnel, not disclose it outside the agreement, implement reasonable technical and organisational measures against unauthorised access, identify and safeguard against foreseeable risks, and regularly verify safeguards. Security breaches must be notified in writing as soon as possible, with remedial steps taken at the notifying party's cost, ongoing updates provided, and relevant authorities (SAPS, State Security Agency, Information Regulator) and affected persons notified where required. Parties must cooperate in security investigations.

Contract duration, commencement and expiry dates are specified in the purchase order. The order may be terminated by either party for material breach not remedied within a stipulated or reasonable time, non-performance, or inability to perform. Transnet may cancel the order in whole or in part with at least 30 days' written notice, or upon change of control of the supplier, serious or repeated material breach, or conduct bringing the supplier into disrepute. On termination, Transnet pays a fair price for justified work in progress not otherwise recoverable, not exceeding the total order value. The supplier must submit all claims within two months of termination. If goods/services are not provided per the order, it is deemed terminated and the supplier compensates Transnet for substitute procurement costs or damages. Risk in goods passes on delivery; title passes on full payment. Non-conforming goods/services may be rejected; the supplier must rectify or replace at its expense within the delivery period. Goods are subject to Transnet's testing and inspection. The supplier warrants competence, compliance with all applicable legislation and specifications, no deterioration of Transnet equipment, and no third-party rights infringement, indemnifying Transnet against losses from breach. Insolvency of the supplier entitles Transnet to terminate forthwith. Notices may be delivered by hand, fax, or email (deemed served on acknowledgement). Governing law is South African law; disputes are subject to arbitration under AFSA rules, without prejudice to Transnet's right to approach South African courts. A supplier without a South African registered office must maintain a local agent for service of process. Terms surviving completion or termination include non-compliance penalties, proprietary rights, proprietary information, personal information protection, and development work clauses.
