Initiation of TIPS Sales. When a public entity initiates a purchase with Vendor, if the Member inquires verbally or in writing whether Vendor holds a TIPS Contract, it is the duty of the Vendor to verify whether the Member is seeking a TIPS purchase. Once verified, Vendor must include the TIPS Contract Number on all purchase communications and sales documents exchanged with the TIPS Member. As used herein, “TIPS Sales” shall mean the monthly recurring fees actually received by Vendor from TIPS Members under Supplemental Agreements entered into with TIPS Members pursuant to this Agreement. TIPS Sales shall not include any one-time charges for construction/equipment costs sold off-contract nor any taxes, pass-through fees, or pass-through surcharges paid by TIPS Members. TIPS Sales will not include the sale of any services which are not the specific Vendor Services set forth under this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, Vendor shall not be obligated to pay Administrative Fees in connection with (i) the sale of Vendor services to any existing customer who has a service agreement in place with Vendor or any Vendor Affiliate as of the date of execution of this Agreement, or (ii) any sale to a customer which arises from Vendor or any Vendor Affiliate responding to a request for proposal or other solicitation or participating in a cooperative procurement vehicles other than this TIPS Contract. Additionally, while Vendor agrees to promote use of the Agreement and will comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Vendor is not affirmatively required to query all potential Vendor customers as to their TIPS membership or involvement, nor is Vendor required to move any Vendor customers from their current contracts or use of other procurement vehicles to the TIPS Agreement.
