specifically including all terms and conditions set forth or referenced herein and on the face of a Purchase Order, (ii)
any attachments hereto, (iii) any applicable solicitation documentation related to hereto (including without limitation
any request for proposals or invitation for bids and Vendor’s response thereto), and (iv) any other terms and conditions
of a written agreement signed by Vendor and UCBOE that deals with the same subject matter. “Goods” means any

2. Written Agreement Signed by Both Parties; Acceptance of Purchase Order Terms and Conditions when there is not a
Separate Written Agreement Signed by Both Parties. When a Contract is signed by both UCBOE and Vendor then the
Purchase Order issued by UCBOE is for administrative convenience and is not part of the Contract Documents. When
there is not a separate Contract signed by both UCBOE and Vendor, then Vendor’s acknowledgment of the terms of
any Purchase Order, without timely objection, or Vendor’s shipment or performance of any part of a Purchase Order,
constitutes an agreement to all terms and conditions set forth or referenced herein and on the face of the Purchase
Order, together with the terms and conditions of any other applicable Contract Documents. The terms and provisions
set forth in the Contract Documents shall constitute the entire agreement between Vendor and UCBOE with respect to
the purchase by UCBOE of the Services and/or Goods work performed as described in the Contract Documents. In
the event of any conflict between any terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, the terms and conditions most
favorable to UCBOE shall control. A Purchase Order constitutes an offer by UCBOE and expressly limits acceptance
to the terms and conditions stated therein. No additional or supplemental provision or provisions in variance herewith
that may appear in Vendor's quotation, acknowledgment, invoice, or in any other communication from Vendor to
UCBOE shall be deemed accepted by or binding on UCBOE. UCBOE hereby expressly rejects all such provisions which
supplement, modify or otherwise vary from the terms of the Contract Documents, and such provisions are superseded
by the terms and conditions stated in the Contract Documents, unless and until UCBOE’s authorized representatives
expressly assent, in writing, to such provisions. Stenographic and clerical errors and omissions by UCBOE are subject
to correction.
3. Cancellation of Purchase Order. UCPS may cancel any Purchase Order or portion thereof without liability, if: (a)
Vendor fails upon request to give reasonable assurance of timely performance or UCPS otherwise determines that it
has reasonable grounds for insecurity regarding Vendor’s performance; (b) conforming Goods or Services (including
the quantities specified for delivery) are not delivered within the time specified or, if no time is specified, within a
commercially reasonable time; (c) Vendor otherwise breaches the Contract and such breach is not corrected within
thirty (30) days following written notice of breach; or (d) cancellation is otherwise required or allowed by law.
4. Quantities. Shipments must equal exact amounts ordered unless otherwise agreed in writing by UCBOE. The award
of a term contract neither implies nor guarantees any minimum or maximum purchases. Materials received in excess
of quantity specified on the purchase order, at UCBOE option’s, may be returned at the Vendor’s expense.
5. Prices. If Vendor's price or the regular market price of any of the Goods covered hereunder is lower than the price stated
in the Contract Documents on the date of shipment of such Goods, Vendor agrees to give UCBOE the benefit of such
lower price on any such Goods. In no event shall Vendor’s price be higher than the price last quoted or last charged to
UCBOE unless otherwise agreed in writing. No charges for transportation, boxing, crating, etc. are allowable unless
such charges are included in the Contract Documents.

department with a copy to UCBOE Project Coordinator.
