STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS
(REVISED JANUARY 2024)
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY, AND RETURN THE SIGNATURE PAGE WITH YOUR BID OR PROPOSAL.
The following terms and conditions are requirements that are binding upon the vendor awarded the proposal and they communicate the Edinburg
School District's expectations in regard to the bidder's performance in connection with the district's purchase.
1.
Seller of Package Goods: Seller will package goods in accordance with good commercial practice. Each shipping container shall be
clearly and permanently packed as follows:
a. Seller's name and address:
b. Consignee's name, address and purchase order or purchase release number and the supply agreement number if applicable;
c. Container number and total number of containers, e.g. box 1 of 4 boxes; and the number of the container bearing the packing slip.
d. Seller shall bear cost of packaging unless otherwise provided.
e. Goods shall be suitably packed to secure lowest transportation costs and to conform to requirements of common carriers and any
applicable specifications.
f. Buyer's count or weight shall be final and conclusive on shipments not accompanied by packing lists.
2.
Shipment under Reservation Prohibited: Seller is not authorized to ship the goods under reservation and no tender of a bill of lading will
operate as a tender of goods.
3.
Title and Risk of Loss: The title and risk of loss of the goods shall not pass to Buyer until Buyer actually receives and takes possession
of the goods at the point or points of delivery.
4.
Delivery Terms and Transportation Charges: F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid unless terms are specified otherwise in proposal:
5.
No Placement of Defective Tender: Every tender or delivery of goods must fully comply with all provisions of this contract as to time of
delivery, quality and the like. If a tender is made which does not fully conform, this shall constitute a breach and Seller shall not have the
right to substitute a conforming tender provided, where the time for performance has not yet expired, the Seller may reasonably notify Buyer
of his intention to cure and may then make a conforming tender within the contract time but not afterward.
6.
Place of Delivery: The place of delivery shall be that set forth on the purchase order. Any change thereto shall be effected by modification
as provided for in Clause 20, "Modifications," hereof. The terms of this agreement are "no arrival, no sale."
7.
Invoices: Seller shall submit separate invoices, in duplicate, on each purchase order after each delivery. Invoices shall indicate the
purchase order number, shall be itemized and transportation charges, if any, shall be listed separately. A copy of the bill of lading, and the
freight weight bill when applicable, should be attached to the invoice. Mail to:
Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District
Attn.: Accounts Payable Department
Drawer 990
Edinburg, Texas 78540-0990
8.
Payments: The payment shall not be due until the above instruments are submitted after delivery. Suppliers should keep the Accounts
Payable Department advised of any changes in your remittance addresses.
9.
Taxes: Do not include Federal Excise, State or City Sales Tax. School District shall furnish tax exemption certificate, if required.
10.
Gratuities: The Buyer may, by written notice to the Seller, cancel this contract without liability to Seller if it is determined by Buyer that
gratuities, in the form of entertainment, gifts, or otherwise, were offered or given by the Seller, or any agent, or representative of the Seller,
to any officer or employee of the School District with a view toward securing a contract or securing favorable treatment with respect to the
awarding or amending or the making or any determinations with respect to the performing of such a contract. In the event this contract is
canceled by Buyer pursuant to this provision, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies, to recover or withhold the
amount of the cost incurred by Seller in providing such gratuities.
11.
Special Tools and Test Equipment: If the price stated on the face hereof includes the cost of any special tooling or special test equipment
fabricated or required by Seller for the purpose of filling this order, such special tooling equipment and any process sheets related thereto
shall become the property of the Buyer and to the extent feasible shall be identified by the Seller as such.
12.
Warranty Price: The price to be paid by the Buyer shall be that contained in Seller's proposal which Seller warrants to be no higher than
Seller's current prices on orders by others for products of the kind and specification covered by this agreement for similar quantities under
similar or like conditions and methods of purchase. In the event Seller breaches this warranty, the prices of the items shall be reduced to
the Seller's current prices on orders by others, or in the alternative, Buyer may cancel this contract without liability to Seller for breach or
Seller's actual expense. The Seller warrants that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to solicit or secure this
contract upon an agreement or understanding for commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee excepting bona fide employees of
bona fide established commercial or selling agencies maintained by the Seller for the purpose of securing business. For breach or violation
of this warranty, the Buyer shall have the right in addition to any other right or rights to cancel this contract without liability and to deduct
from the contract price, or otherwise recover the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage or contingent fee.
