Germany Rider
The following t
erms amend (and to the extent of any conflict, override) the terms above (including the provisions of the EMEA
Rider and the EMEA Privacy Rider which shall also be applicable to Germany) and apply to purchases made from a Germany
based supplier. 0F

1. S
upplier’s Representations and Warranties. The terms contained herein shall not apply to any person if and to the extent
that it is or would be unenforceable by or in respect of that person by reason of breach of (i) any provision of Council
Regulation (EC) No 2271/1996 or (ii) Section 7 of the German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance
(Außenwirtschaftsverordnung, AWV).
1
UK choice of law: In case a German based supplier refers to its own terms and conditions when accepting an order by JPMSE or rendering
services or delivering goods to JPMSE these terms and conditions will highly likely (i) comprise a choice of law clause and (ii) this clause
will refer to German law. As JPMSE would opt for UK law as per section 8 of the EMEA rider of the PO terms and conditions this would
lead to conflicting choice of law clauses. According to the prevailing opinion in German legal literature and jurisdiction in this case both
clauses are viewed to not be validly incorporated into the agreement and, the parties are considered to not have made a choice of law at all.
However, despite this lack of agreement as regards the choice of law this does not lead to the contract in itself not being effectively concluded.
Instead, according to Article 4 (1) Rome I, objective law shall apply to the contract. The governing law would therefore in most cases depend
on the type of contract. For the main types of contract as listed inter alia in Article 4 (1) (a) (sale of goods), (b) (provision of services), (e)
(franchise contracts) and (f) (distribution contracts) Rome I as well as Art 7 (2) Rome I (insurance contracts), the country where the supplier
is domiciled is regarded as the point of reference for determining the governing objective law. With a German based supplier, this would in
most cases then be German law.

Protective clause (Abwehrklausel): JPMSE’s terms and conditions stipulate that any contradicting terms and conditions of the supplier shall
be null and void. Similar provisions can be found in various places throughout the documentation such as in section Additional Software
Terms and Conditions: Any terms and conditions that are provided by the Supplier or accompany the Software …are null and void.” and
section 3. Other Agreements: “..any additional or different terms or conditions …are null and void…” of JPMSE’s terms and conditions as
well as in the purchase ordering form where the following clause is included: Any terms and conditions on the Supplier's invoice are null
and void. Such protective clauses are not uncommon and would under German law be interpreted as a comprehensive clause such that it is
JPMSE’s intent that none of the supplier’s terms and conditions shall be applicable and not only those which contradict or are supplemental
to JPMSE’s own terms and conditions. The supplier however might still refer to its own terms and conditions which might even also include
a protective clause. Again, one could view this as a lack of full agreement on all provisions of the contract between the parties. This would
result in the contract not being concluded at all, which however, would presumably not be in the interest of the parties. The contract is therefore
deemed to be concluded nonetheless under German law, especially if the contract is being fulfilled by the parties. (see Footnote above) As to
what specific provisions apply to the contract it has to be distinguished between (i) those provisions of the respective terms and conditions
which are consistent with each other and (ii) those which contradict each other. Consistent provisions shall be applicable to the contract, even
if the parties are not aware of the consistency or are not of the view that the provisions are consistent. Whether provisions are consistent shall
not be determined based on the explicit wording of the respective provisions but rather based on their rationale as well as the parties’ common
interest. Example of consistent provisions: Both terms and conditions provide for identical termination rights for both parties. Where
conflicting provisions of the terms and conditions contradict each other, neither one of the respective provisions will be applicable but instead
replaced by German statutory law. Example of conflicting provisions: Each of the terms and conditions provide for a unilateral termination
right for that party only which is making use of its own terms and conditions. Given that terms and conditions used within different industries
can vary widely the consistency or conflict of provisions with JPMSE’s own terms and conditions would need to be assessed individually for
each contract.
