This addendum outlines the U.S. Senate, Office of the Sergeant at Arms' (SAA) specific terms for commercial agreements, superseding conflicting clauses in contractor license agreements to ensure compliance with Federal law and Senate Procurement Regulations. Key provisions deem unenforceable any terms that create Anti-Deficiency Act violations, such as future fees, automatic renewals, or contractor indemnification. The SAA rejects clauses granting contractors control over third-party claims, audit rights over SAA systems, responsibility for taxes, or unilateral modification/termination rights. The document mandates that Federal law and Regulations govern venue, choice of law, and dispute resolution, explicitly prohibiting mandatory arbitration. It also includes clauses on confidentiality, data protection post-termination, termination for default or convenience, gratuities, and fund availability, ensuring the SAA's interests and legal obligations are upheld in all contracts.
