Common use of Customer Documents Clause in Contracts

Customer Documents. Customer agrees that it will retain and make available upon request of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, or the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their authorized representatives, any agreements between health care providers and Customer, and all books, documents and records necessary to verify the nature and extent of the costs and the services provided under this Agreement. Customer agrees to retain such books, documents and records, and to hold them available for such inspection until the expiration of four years after the completion of this Agreement. Customer agrees to promptly notify Vendor of any request it receives for access to Customer records and to furnish a copy of such request. The regulations require that access be given within twenty (20) days from the date of the request, unless written objection is made. If Vendor deems such a request to be inappropriate, then it may file an objection. Any proceeding regarding Vendor objections will be pursued at Vendor’s sole cost and expense, provided, however, that Customer will provide reasonable cooperation with Vendor.
