16.2

The END-USER shall report immediately to AIRBUS DS any request or demand for undue financial advantage and any violation of any applicable laws or regulations with respect to the performance of this Agreement by itself or its Affiliates, subsidiaries, end-users, executives, employees, agents or any individual or company that may be involved in performing a BPO and/or the agreement.

16.3

On request from AIRBUS DS, the END-USER shall demonstrate the means implemented in order to ensure its full compliance with the provisions hereof and all national and international anti-corruption laws and regulations, and AIRBUS DS reserves the right to audit such compliance. 

16.4

The END-USER shall indemnify AIRBUS DS against any and all losses, claims, costs, damages or expenses incurred by the END-USER and/or its Affiliates or for which the END-USER and/or its Affiliates may become liable, arising from a breach of any of its obligations under a BPO and/or the agreement.

If AIRBUS DS does not enforce any of the Conditions, this shall not be interpreted as constituting a waiver, by AIRBUS DS, of any one of its rights, nor shall it affect the validity of all or part of the Conditions, nor shall it constitute a bar to any future action by AIRBUS DS. Any amendment or modification of the Conditions shall not come into effect until it is signed by the duly authorized representative of each of the Parties.

If a bespoke agreement concluded with the END-USER for the PRODUCT expressly derogates from Conditions, the remaining provisions of the Conditions shall remain in full force and effect to the extent that they do not conflict with such bespoke agreement.
