Common use of Vendor Documents Clause in Contracts

Vendor Documents. Vendor 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 Vendor and all books, documents and records necessary to verify the nature and extent of the costs and the services provided under this Agreement. Vendor agrees to retain all 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. Vendor agrees to promptly notify Customer of any request it receives for access to Vendor 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 Customer deems such request to be inappropriate, then it may file an objection. Any proceeding regarding Customer objections will be pursued at Customer’s sole cost and expense, provided, however, that Vendor will provide reasonable cooperation with Customer.
