A. APPLICABILITY. Section I of these Purchase Order Terms and Conditions shall apply to all purchases made through the University's eProcurement system or otherwise using a University Purchase Order, unless the provisions are superseded by terms in Sections II and III, as applicable, or another written agreement governing the relationship of the parties dictates otherwise.
B. ACCEPTANCE. Acceptance by Vendor of a University Purchase Order ("PO") and its provisions and/or any act of performance is limited to and constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions ("Terms"). No additional or different terms shall become part of or alter these Terms unless both parties have executed a Master Agreement or another written agreement that explicitly supersedes, modifies or controls (in the event of a conflict with) these Terms. These Terms shall supersede and control over any terms or conditions of sale in Vendor form(s), regardless of any statement to the contrary in such form(s). All applicable Terms, the PO and any written agreement(s) between the parties regarding the purchase of goods and/or services subject to a PO shall constitute the "Agreement" between the parties regarding those goods and/or services.
C. INVOICES AND PAYMENT. POs must not be invoiced at prices higher than listed on the PO without authority in writing from the University. Unless otherwise provided in the PO, no invoices shall be issued nor payments made prior to delivery. Individual invoices must be issued for each shipment. Unless freight and other charges are itemized, any discount will be taken on full amount of invoice. Payment is contingent upon acceptance of material. Cash discount period shall be calculated from date of receipt of acceptable materials or services or acceptable invoice whichever is received the later.
D. INSPECTION. Final inspection shall be made by the University at the University's location unless otherwise specified in writing. Articles or services delivered under a PO shall be subject to the University's inspection and approval, and payment of invoices therefor shall not constitute acceptance thereof. Articles delivered shall conform to specifications, drawings, samples or other description as set forth on the PO or otherwise furnished by the University and shall be of good material and workmanship and free from defects. Goods which are not as warranted or do not conform to specifications may be returned to Vendor at Vendor's expense or held for Vendor's instructions at Vendor's risk, and credit therefore shall be given or the goods replaced as University may direct. After inspection and acceptance, Vendor's liability shall be limited to liability for latent defects, fraud, or gross mistakes of the Vendor as amount to fraud.
E. WARRANTIES AND SPECIFICATIONS. In addition to any warranty implied by fact or law, Vendor expressly warrants all items to be free from defects in design, workmanship and materials; to conform strictly to applicable specifications, drawings and approved samples, if any; to be fit and sufficient for the propose intended; to be merchantable; and have been produced, sold, or furnished in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Such warranties, together with any and all other service warranties of Vendor, shall run to University, its successors, assigns and customers. All warranties shall survive inspection, test, acceptance of and payment by University. In the event of breach of warranty, University may, at its option, either return for credit or require prompt correction or replacement of the defective or non- conforming goods. The University shall be entitled to all remedies set forth in these Terms or the Agreement and as provided by law. Such remedies are deemed and shall be cumulative.
F. CHANGES. At any time by written notice, the University may make changes within the general scope of a PO to drawings and specifications, shipping instructions, quantities, and delivery schedules. Should any such change increase or decrease the cost of, or the time required for performance of the PO, an equitable adjustment in the price and/or delivery schedule will be made. Any claims for adjustment by Vendor must be made in writing within thirty (30) days from the date the change is ordered or within such additional period of time as may be agreed upon by the parties.
G. DELIVERY. Deliveries shall be strictly in accordance with the schedule set out or referred to in the PO and in exact quantities ordered. Notwithstanding the foregoing Vendor shall not be liable for delay in delivery due to causes beyond Vendor's control and without Vendor's fault or negligence, provided Vendor exercises due diligence in promptly notifying University of conditions which will result in delay, and provided further, if Vendor's delay is caused by the default of a subcontractor or supplier, such default arises out of causes beyond the control of both Vendor and the subcontractor or suppliers, and without the fault or negligence of either of them, and the supplies or services to be furnished by the subcontractor or supplier were not obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit Vendor to meet the required delivery schedule.
H. CANCELLATION FOR BREACH. The University reserves the right to cancel the PO without liability for damages or otherwise if delivery is not made within the time specified or agreed upon or within a reasonable time (if no time is specified), unless a time extension has been granted by the University in writing; or if the quality of the articles delivered is not as specified in the PO; or if any proceeding under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws is brought by or against the Vendor; or a receiver of Vendor is appointed or applied for; or an assignment for the benefit of creditors is made by the Vendor; or if University's expectation for receiving Vendor's due performance has been impaired.
I. TERMINATION. The University may terminate a PO in whole or in part, at any time, for convenience (as distinguished from cancellation for breach) by notice in writing to the Vendor specifying the date upon which such termination shall become effective and the extent to which such performance hereunder shall be terminated ("Notice of Termination"). Termination shall be effective upon the date and to the extent specified in said notice. Upon receipt of a Notice of Termination, the Vendor shall act in good faith to attempt to agree upon such lump sum, in lieu of the price or prices elsewhere specified in the PO, as the parties mutually agree is fair and equitable under the circumstances.
J. RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROPERTY. Unless otherwise provided in the PO, Vendor, upon delivery to it or manufacture or acquisition by it, of any materials, parts, tooling or other property the title to which is in University or the government, assumes the risk of and shall be responsible for any loss of or damage to such items. Vendor, in accordance with the provisions of the PO, but in any event upon fulfillment of a PO, shall return such property to University in the condition in which it was received except for reasonable wear and tear and except to the extent such property has been incorporated into items delivered under the PO, or has been consumed in normal performance of work under the PO.
K. CONFIDENTIALITY. Vendor, including its employees, agents, and any sub-contractors, shall hold and deal with the following in confidence: (1) information relating to a student and/or any education records of a student; (2) any programs or service(s) of the University that have not yet been made public by the University; (3) all information and reports that may be generated for or by the University pursuant to Vendor's services; (4) any specifications, drawings, designs, know-how, trade secrets, customer lists, sales information, technical data, incentives, procurement strategies, inventions, proprietary methodologies, techniques and tools of the University; and (5) any other information or materials that are designated as "confidential" or should be reasonably known by the Vendor to be confidential (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Vendor agrees that Confidential Information shall be the sole and exclusive property of University. Confidential information does not include information that is (6) approved for release or disclosure without restriction by the University in writing; (7) publicly known or becomes publicly known, so long as it is not through the acts or omission of the Vendor that it is or becomes publicly known; (8) rightfully received by the Vendor from a third party without restriction and without violation of any agreement; or (9) legally required to be disclosed by the Vendor in response to a requirement of a governmental agency or court of law having jurisdiction, in which case the Vendor will provide the University prompt notice prior to disclosure so that the University may seek judicial protection or otherwise limit disclosure, if the University so desires, and in which case Vendor shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with University in such efforts. Vendor shall protect the University's Confidential Information that is in the Vendor's possession or control from disclosure to third parties using at least the same means it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in any event not less than reasonable means.
L. PRICE. Vendor warrants that the prices for the articles sold to University under the PO are not less favorable than those prices currently extended to any other customer for the same or like articles in equal or less quantities. In the event Vendor reduces its price for such articles during the term of the Agreement, Vendor agrees to reduce the prices for items under this PO correspondingly.
M. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted solely in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict of law principles that would require the application of any other state's laws. The parties agree that the sole and exclusive jurisdiction for any disputes shall be the State of Ohio.
N. WAIVER. The failure of University to enforce at any time any of the provisions of the Agreement, or to exercise any option provided in the Agreement, or to require at any time performance by the Vendor of any of the provisions of the Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor in any way to affect the validity of the Agreement or any part of it, or the right of University thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.
O. COMPLIANCE. The Vendor agrees to comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations as they may pertain to the PO, including but not limited to laws regarding equal employment opportunity, immigration, and nondiscrimination.
P. INDEMNITY. Vendor shall defend, indemnify, protect, and hold harmless and reimburse the University, its members, trustees, officers, agents, representatives, employees, volunteers, students, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, damages, judgments, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements, arising out of or in connection with, whether directly or indirectly: (1) Vendor's performance or non-performance (including the performance or non-performance of its subcontractors) under the PO; (2) Vendor's representations, warranties, or obligations related to the PO; or (3) violation of any applicable laws or regulations resulting from or in connection with the sale, transportation, installation, use, or repair of Vendor's goods or services under the PO. Additionally, Vendor agrees to indemnify and hold University harmless against all liability to third parties (other than liability solely the fault of University) arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with any defect in the goods and or actual or claimed violation or infringement of the third party's trade secrets, trademark, copyright, or patent rights in connection with the sale or use of the goods provided or used by the Vendor. This obligation shall survive performance, expiration or termination of the PO.&
Q. NOTICE OF LABOR DISPUTE. Whenever Vendor has knowledge that any actual or potential labor dispute is delaying or threatens to delay the timely performance of the PO, Vendor shall immediately give notice of the dispute, including all the relevant information about the dispute, to University. Vendor shall insert substance of this clause, including this sentence, in any subcontract hereunder as to which a labor dispute may delay the timely performance of the PO, except that any subcontractor need give the required notice and information only to its next higher-tier subcontractor.
R. UNIVERSITY NAME AND LOGO. Vendor shall not use or register the name "University of Dayton" alone or as part of another name or any logos, seals, insignia or other words, names, symbols or devices that identify University or any University school, division or affiliate for any purpose except with the prior written approval of, and in accordance with any restrictions required by, the University. Any approved use must be consistent with the University's brand guidelines.
S. MODIFICATIONS. These Terms may be modified from time and time, at University's discretion. The Terms applicable to a given PO shall be the Terms as they exist on the date of the PO.
T. ASSIGNMENT. Vendor may not assign or delegate its performance under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the University and any assignment or delegation made without such consent shall be void as to the University.
U. GENERAL. The Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements, written or otherwise, between the parties relating to the matters covered in the Terms, the PO and applicable written agreement(s) (if any), unless explicitly stated otherwise. If any provision of the Agreement is prohibited by law, such provision shall be deemed ineffective but such ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of the Agreement.
