Not verbatim, but proportionately: simplified commitments suited to scale and realistic audit rights. Otherwise, the lower tiers of the chain will not sign, or the terms cannot be applied.
The principle is this: towards your own customer you stay answerable for the whole chain, which is why you have to pass at least enough down to cover your own obligation — back-to-back. Anything beyond that cannot be enforced; anything short of it leaves the gap sitting with you. The full set for a critical supplier, a simplified set for a standard one — that is how the balance is struck.
