Guidance & policies
Purchase Order Terms and Conditions
Suppliers should be aware that Ariba offers two versions: The Light Account and the Full Enabled Account. The Light Account will not incur any fees for the supplier, but the Full Account will. When registering with Ariba, suppliers create an agreement between them and Ariba, to which 黑料大湿Posts is not a party. Suppliers should ensure that the appropriate Ariba Account type is selected, as suppliers that select the Full Account will receive an invoice directly from Ariba. 黑料大湿Posts is not accountable if the incorrect level is selected, nor can it accept liability for any fees incurred. However, 黑料大湿Posts can assist suppliers to switch from the Full Enabled Account to the Light Account if the supplier notifies 黑料大湿Posts accordingly.
