Purchase Order A Customer may use purchase orders to buy commodities or contractual services pursuant to the Contract and, if applicable, the Contractor must provide commodities or contractual services pursuant to purchase orders. Purchase orders issued pursuant to the Contract must be received by the Contractor no later than the close of business on the last day of the Contract’s term. The Contractor is required to accept timely purchase orders specifying delivery schedules that extend beyond the Contract term even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the Contract. Purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the Contract shall survive the termination or expiration of the Contract and apply to the Contractor’s performance. The duration of purchase orders for recurring deliverables shall not exceed the expiration of the Contract by more than twelve months. Any purchase order terms and conditions conflicting with these Special Contract Conditions shall not become a part of the Contract.
Purchase Orders Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Commissioner, no Product is to be delivered or furnished by Contractor until transmittal of an official Purchase Order from the Authorized User. Unless terminated or cancelled pursuant to the authority vested in the Commissioner, Purchase Orders shall be effective and binding upon the Contractor when placed in the mail or electronically transmitted prior to the termination of the contract period, addressed to the Contractor at the address for receipt of orders set forth in the Contract or in the Contract Award Notification. All Purchase Orders issued pursuant to Contracts let by the Commissioner must bear the appropriate Contract number and, if necessary, required State approvals. As deemed necessary, the Authorized User may confirm pricing and other Product information with the Contractor prior to placement of the Purchase Order. The State reserves the right to require any other information from the Contractor which the State deems necessary in order to complete any Purchase Order placed under the Contract. Unless otherwise specified, all Purchase Orders against Centralized Contracts will be placed by Authorized Users directly with the Contractor and any discrepancy between the terms stated on the vendor’s order form, confirmation or acknowledgment, and the Contract terms shall be resolved in favor of the terms most favorable to the Authorized User. Should an Authorized User add written terms and conditions to the Purchase Order that conflict with the terms and conditions of the Contract, the Contractor has the option of rejecting the Purchase Order within five business days of its receipt but shall first attempt to negotiate the additional written terms and conditions in good faith with the Authorized User, or fulfill the Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the above, the Authorized User reserves the right to dispute any discrepancies arising from the presentation of additional terms and conditions with the Contractor. If, with respect to an Agency Specific Contract let by the OGS Commissioner, a Purchase Order is not received by the Contractor within two weeks after the issuance of a Contract Award Notification, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to request in writing that the appropriate Authorized User forward a Purchase Order. If, thereafter, a Purchase Order is not received within a reasonable period of time, the Contractor shall promptly notify in writing the appropriate purchasing officer in OGS. Failure to timely notify such officer may, in the discretion of the OGS Commissioner and without cost to the State, result in the cancellation of such requirement by the OGS Commissioner with a corresponding reduction in the Contract quantity and price.
Shipment and Delivery Seller grants the Company the right at any time to specify the carrier and/or method of transportation to be employed in conveying any part or all of the Goods covered herein. In the event that Seller uses an unauthorized carrier and/or method of transportation, then all shipping expenses shall be assumed by Seller. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, all Goods will be shipped FCA shipment point. FCA shall be interpreted in accordance with the version of Incoterms valid at the time of the Seller’s acceptance of the Order. The Seller shall be responsible for preparing and filing all export documentation for all shipments. The Company shall not be obligated to accept early deliveries, partial deliveries or excess deliveries. If Goods are incorrectly delivered, the Seller shall be responsible for any additional expense incurred in delivering the Goods to the correct destination. The delivery date set forth on the Order is of the essence of the Contract. If the Seller anticipates that it will not be able to deliver the Goods upon the agreed delivery date, then the Seller shall immediately notify the Company thereof in writing; provided, however, that such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its responsibilities and liabilities with respect to on-time delivery hereunder. In such event, the Company may request that the Seller expedite delivery to the maximum extent possible at the Seller’s sole expense. If the Seller does not deliver the Goods by the agreed delivery date, then the Company shall be entitled to liquidated damages as agreed between the parties, up to and including the total Order value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to claim repayment for any and all costs, losses, expenses and damages incurred by the Company that are attributable to the Seller’s delay in delivery. Such liquidated damages shall be paid at the Company’s written demand. Partial deliveries shall not relieve the Seller from liability for any late delivery hereunder. If the Seller discovers that it has shipped any non-conforming Goods to the Company, it shall immediately (and not more than 24 hours after such discovery) notify the Company thereof in writing; provided, however, that such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its responsibilities and liabilities with respect to defective goods hereunder.
Notice and Delivery Any notice mailed to you will be deemed delivered and received by you, five days after the postmark date. This fifth day following the postmark is the receipt date. Notices will be mailed to the last address we have in our records. You are responsible for ensuring that we have your proper mailing address. Upon your consent, we may provide you with notice in a delivery format other than by mail. Such formats may include various electronic deliveries. Any notice, including terminations, change in personal information, or contributions mailed to us will be deemed delivered when actually received by us based on our ordinary business practices. All notices must be in writing unless our policies and procedures provide for oral notices.
Purchase Order Duration Purchase orders issued pursuant to this State Term Contract must be received by the Contractor no later than close of business on the last day of the Contract’s term to be considered timely. The Contractor is obliged to fill those orders in accordance with the Contract’s terms and conditions. Purchase orders received by the Contractor after close of business on the last day of the State Term Contract’s term shall be considered void. Purchase orders for a one-time performance of contractual services shall be valid through the performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the State Term Contract shall apply to the single delivery/performance, and shall survive the termination of the Contract. Contractors are required to accept purchase orders specifying delivery schedules exceeding the contracted schedule even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the State Term Contract. For example, if a state term contract calls for delivery 30 days after receipt of order (ARO), and an order specifies delivery will occur both in excess of 30 days ARO and after expiration of the state term contract, the Contractor will accept the order. However, if the Contractor expressly and in writing notifies the ordering office within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the purchase order that Contractor will not accept the extended delivery terms beyond the expiration of the state term contract, then the purchase order will either be amended in writing by the ordering entity within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the contractor’s notice to reflect the state term contract delivery schedule, or it shall be considered withdrawn. The duration of purchase orders for recurring deliveries of commodities or performance of services shall not exceed the expiration of the State Term Contract by more than twelve months. However, if an extended pricing plan offered in the State Term Contract is selected by the Customer, the Contract terms on pricing plans shall govern the maximum duration of purchase orders reflecting such pricing plans. Timely purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the State Term Contract shall apply to the recurring delivery/performance as provided herein, and shall survive the termination of the Contract. Ordering offices shall not renew a purchase order issued pursuant to a State Term Contract if the underlying contract expires prior to the effective date of the renewal.
