Moreover the Supplier declares and undertakes that the persons performing the services on behalf of the Supplier are not agents or employees of the Buyer; that the Supplier has and hereby retains, except as set forth herein, the right to exercise full control with respect to the means of its performance hereunder and full control over the employment, direction, compensation and discharge of all employees, agents and subcontractors assisting in such performance; that Supplier shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of such employees, including compliance with worker’s compensation, unemployment and disability insurance, social security withholding, and all such matters; and that Supplier shall be responsible for the acts of the Supplier and the acts of all agents, employees and contractors employed by the Supplier during the Supplier’s performance under the Order.
