Page 15 of 48 Shipping and Delivery. The prices are the delivered price to any Purchasing Entity for standard shipping. An estimated ship and delivery date shall be provided to Purchasing Entity at the time of the Order. If an order is requested with expedited shipping, the Contractor must provide a firm “not to exceed” price for the expedited shipping on the quote. All deliveries shall be FOB Destination, freight pre-paid, with all transportation and handling charges paid by the Contractor. Responsibility and liability for loss or damage incurred during shipping or delivery shall remain the Contractor’s until final inspection when responsibility shall pass to the Purchasing Entity except as to latent defects, fraud, and Contractor’s warranty obligations. Any order for less than the specified amount is to be shipped with the freight prepaid and added as a separate item on the invoice. Any portion of an Order to be shipped without transportation charges that is back ordered shall be shipped without charge. Specific delivery instructions, including FOB Inside Delivery, will be noted on the order form or Purchase Order. Any damage to the building interior, scratched walls, damage to the freight elevator, etc., directly caused by the Contractor or its subcontractors will be the responsibility of the Contractor. If such damage does occur, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to promptly notify the Purchasing Entity placing the Order. All products must be delivered in the manufacturer’s standard package. Costs shall include all packing and crating charges. Cases shall be of durable construction, good condition, properly labeled and suitable in every respect for storage and handling of contents. Each shipment shall be marked with the Purchasing Entity’s Purchase Order number and other information sufficient for the Purchasing Entity to properly identify the shipment as outlined in the Participating Addendum of the Purchasing Entity. Inspection and Acceptance. Where the Master Agreement, a Participating Addendum, or an Order does not otherwise specify a process for inspection and Acceptance, this section governs. This section is not intended to limit rights and remedies under the applicable commercial code. Contractor shall provide right of access to the Lead State, or to any other authorized agent or official of the Lead State or other Participating or Purchasing Entity, at reasonable times, in order to monitor and evaluate performance, compliance, and quality assurance requirements under this Master Agreement. Upon delivery, the Purchasing Entity shall have 30 days to inspect the Product(s). Acceptance of Products occurs after inspection and applies to all Products(s) (hardware and software) purchased under this Master Agreement, including any additional replacement or substitute Product(s) and any Product(s) which are modified by or with the written approval of Contractor after Acceptance by the Participating Entity. The Purchasing Entity will make every effort to notify the Contractor, within thirty (30) calendar days following delivery, of non-acceptance of a Product or completion of Service. In the event that the Contractor has not been notified within 30 calendar days from delivery of Product or completion of Service, the Product and Services will be deemed accepted on the 31st day after delivery of Product or completion of Services. This clause shall not be applicable, if acceptance testing and corresponding terms have been mutually agreed to by both parties in writing. Products that do not meet manufacturer’s specifications may be rejected. Failure to reject upon receipt, however, does not relieve the contractor of liability for material (nonconformity that substantially impairs value) latent or hidden defects subsequently revealed when goods are put to use. Acceptance of such goods may be revoked in accordance with the provisions of the applicable commercial code, and the Contractor is liable for any resulting expense incurred by the Purchasing Entity related to the preparation and shipping of Product rejected and returned, or for which Acceptance is revoked. Return of Products is subject to the Contractor’s applicable return policy, which shall be made available to Purchasing Entity prior to placement of an order. Any restocking fee may not exceed 15% of the purchase price. DocuSign Envelope ID: 87F53414-136E-413E-907B-A408CF7AA97C
