Common use of Invoice Certification Clause in Contracts

Invoice Certification. All invoices under the Existing Agreement must include a written and signed certification stating that no officer or employee of the Government, and its respective subsidiaries or affiliates, will personally derive or obtain any benefit or profit of any kind from this Agreement, with the acknowledgement that invoices which do not include this certification will not be paid. This certification must read as follows: “We certify under penalty of nullity that no public servant of the Government, its respective subsidiaries or affiliate, will derive or obtain any benefit or profit of any kind from the contractual relationship which is the basis of this invoice. If such benefit or profit exists, the required waiver has been obtained prior to entering into the Agreement. The only consideration to be received in exchange for the delivery of goods or for services provided is the agreed upon price that has been negotiated with an authorized representative of the Government. The total amount shown on this invoice is true and correct. The services have been rendered, and no payment has been received.”
