agreement incorporating these terms. "Vendor" refers to the party to which a purchase

order is issued by the University, or to a party to another form of agreement with the

PO issued by the University and may be incorporated by reference in a written

agreement between the University and a Vendor. Any terms or conditions included in a

PO issued by University or in a separate written agreement between University and

Vendor take precedence over these Terms and Conditions, unless provided otherwise

in such PO or agreement.

3. Debarment and Suspension. Vendor shall not be eligible to contract with the

University for goods or services covered by the Arkansas Procurement Law if Vendor is

presently debarred or suspended pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. § 19-11-245. Vendor

shall not be eligible to contract with the University to provide goods or services that are

a "covered transaction" within the scope of the Federal Acquisition Regulation or similar

Federal law if Vendor is presently disbarred under Federal law. The University may

immediately terminate the PO or agreement if the University determines that Vendor

has been disbarred or suspended.

4. No Other Terms Accepted. No additional terms or conditions shall be effective

without the written consent of the University. The University expressly rejects any terms

or conditions proposed or published by Vendor. In the event of a conflict between these

Terms and Conditions and Vendor's proposed terms, these Terms and Conditions shall

control.

and not subject to adjustment or deviation unless specifically approved in writing by the

University prior to delivery.

destination specified by the University, cleared for import and with all applicable duties

and taxes paid. Risk of loss for products shall pass to the University upon delivery of

the products to point of destination designated by the University.

5. Backorders or delay in delivery. Backorders or failure to deliver within the time

required may, at the sole discretion of the University, be deemed an event of default.

Vendor must give written notice to the University Procurement Department of the

reason for any such delay and the expected delivery date. The University's

Procurement Department may, in its discretion, extend the date of delivery.

6. Delivery requirements. No substitutions or cancellations are permitted without

approval of the University Procurement Department. The delivery shall be made during

University work hours only (generally, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Central Standard Time,

all necessary permits, certifications or licenses as required by law or as otherwise

required to fulfill the PO or agreement.

10. Inspection and testing. All goods and other products furnished will be subject to

inspection and acceptance by the University after delivery. Failure to meet the agreed

upon product or services specifications entitles the University to cancel the PO or

goods or services elsewhere and to charge the full increase, if any, in cost and

handling to Vendor, and to obtain from Vendor a refund of all monies paid by the
