Vendors are required to submit proposals under the following express conditions:

a) All contracts and agreements between vendors and Region 20 Coop participating members shall strictly

adhere to the statutes as set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code as last amended in 1990 by the American

Law Institute in the National Conference of Commissioners on uniform state laws. Reference: Uniform

Commercial Code, 1990 Official Text, 2/Sales.

b) Vendors are advised that Region 20 Coop contracts are subject to all legal requirements provided for in the

Texas Senate Bill 1, Subchapter B, Section 44.031 and/or applicable state and federal statutes. Any proposal

after being awarded becomes subject to the Open Records Act, Article 6252-17a VTCS.

c) All parties agree that venue for any litigation arising from this contract shall lie in San Antonio, Bexar County,

Texas.

d) Region 20 Coop reserves the right to extend purchasing contracts to all qualified school districts including

Regional Service Centers under subchapter B. General Inter-local Contracting Authority 791.011. Definition of

school districts may be found in section 271.003 subsection (9) of the Texas Law Bulletin. Each school district

is responsible for approval of contracting authority by order of a duly authorized resolution adopted by each

participating entity. Vendors will be contacted by the Region 20 Coop as to which school districts or Regional

Service Centers have recently joined the Region 20 Coop. Each vendor is then requested to extend all proposal

prices to the new member(s) on contracts that are currently in force. This will result in additional quantities of

some items.

e) Patented or copyrighted protected items: Vendor agrees to protect Region 20 Coop from recourse and all

claims arising from rights under patent, copyright, trademark or application infringement.

f) Failure of Region 20 Coop to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms and conditions hereof, or failure

or delay to exercise any rights or remedies provided here in or by law or to properly notify successful vendor

in the event of breach, or the acceptance of or payment for any goods hereunder shall not release successful

vendor from any of the warranties or obligations or any purchase order, contract or service agreement, and

shall not be deemed to waiver any right Region 20 Coop to insist upon strict performance hereof or any rights

or remedies as to any such goods, regardless of when shipped, received or accepted, or as to any prior or

subsequent default hereunder; nor shall any purported oral modification or recession of a purchase order,

contract or service agreement by Region 20 Coop operate as a waiver of any of the terms hereof.

g) New products or products in the same class, not covered in the original proposal, may be added to this contract

under equal pricing terms and conditions at the discretion of Region 20 Coop.

h) Substitutions are not acceptable without prior approval of Region 20 Coop. Unauthorized substitutions may

delay payment of invoices and shipper shall be required to pick up correct items. Region 20 Coop shall not

under any circumstances accept outdated materials, old stock, or obsolete products. If items under contract

are discontinued or become unavailable from any manufacturer during the duration of the contract, Region 20

Coop reserves the right to accept or reject substitutes, and in the case of rejections Region 20 Coop may

cancel the item or items in question.

i) Equipment must be new with original manufacturer warranty and packaging. Individual packaging shall be

labeled showing the name of the manufacturer, brand name, name of product, quantity of contents and

complete directions for use. Labels and labeling shall conform to all federal regulatory requirements for goods

in interstate commerce and containers shall meet DOT requirements. Shipping packaging/cases shall be

marked to show name of supplier, name and address of receiving agency and agency purchase order number,

and must be delivered with material safety data sheets where required.

j) It is understood and agreed that Region 20 Coop reserves the right to make minor modifications to conditions

of this proposal due to unforeseen circumstances, by mutual agreement with selected supplier, both at the

time of acceptance of the quotation offer as so modified, and subsequent thereto.

k) Region 20 Coop reserves the option to purchase by other means bulk quantities of any items listed in the

proposal or catalog when determined to be in the purchaser's best interest. Region 20 Coop will be the sole

judge as to both "bulk quantities" and the "purchaser's best interest".
