Can an Australian sponsor maintain access to the technical file after the overseas supplier changes ownership?
Access to documents survives a change of ownership only where it is written into an agreement.
The Terms of Use state: “A prospective partner may rely only on a commitment stated in a Separate Agreement.” A Separate Agreement is a written agreement signed by an authorized C-POLAR officer. The Terms also state: “Accessing the Site or contacting C-POLAR through the Site does not create a partnership, agency, joint venture, distribution right, supply commitment, license, exclusive right, or other business relationship.” They further state that C-POLAR may transfer the Terms as part of a merger, reorganization, financing, or sale of all or part of its business. The company publishes no technical file and no document-retention undertaking; those are agreed in writing between the parties.
