| Delivery Delays by Contractor | If delay is foreseen, Contractor shall give written notice to the Customer and must keep Customer advised at all times of status of order. Default in promised Delivery Days After Receipt of Order (ARO) without accepted reasons or failure to meet specifications authorizes the Customer to purchase goods and services of this contract elsewhere and charge any increased costs for the goods and services, including the cost of re-soliciting, to the Contractor.

Providing products, materials or services which do not meet all specification requirements does not constitute delivery. Customer reserves the right to require new delivery or a refund in the event that materials or products not meeting specifications are discovered after payment has been made. |
| Purchase Order Cancellation | The Customer may request that a Contractor cancel a specific line item or an entire purchase order. There shall be no fees charged for cancellation of an item and/or order prior to shipment by the Contractor. A Purchase Order Change Notice should be processed and sent to Contractor. |
| Restocking Fee for Returned Products | Contractor must pre-authorize all product returns. Contractor will approve return of any product that is damaged or defective on receipt, provided the Customer contacts the Contractor’s Customer Services department within ten days after receiving the product and provided such damage or defect has not been caused by any failure by the Customer to handle or store products using reasonable care or as otherwise indicated on the label. If the Customer does not contact the Contractor within this ten-day period, the Contractor will deem the product to be accepted, but the Customer will not lose any warranty rights. Product-Credit Eligibility - If the Contractor exercises discretion to authorize a product for return then the product must arrive at the Contractor’s facilities in a condition satisfactory for resale. Any return not due to the Contractor’s error is subject to a restocking charge of 25% of the sale price. The Contractor will not credit shipping charges. The Customer will not receive credit for any product returned without the Contractor’s prior consent. |

| Contractor Performance | The Statewide Procurement Division Contract Management Office (SCMO), a division of the Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA), administers a vendor performance program for use by all customers per Texas Government Code (TGC), §2262.055, and 34 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), §20.108. The Vendor Performance relies on the customer's participation in gathering information on vendor performance. State agency customers shall report vendor performance on purchases of $25,000 or more from contracts administered by CPA, or any other purchase of $25,000 or more made through delegated authority granted by CPA (TAC 20.108), or purchases exempt from CPA procurement rules and procedures. State agencies are additionally encouraged to report vendor performance on purchases under $25,000. Vendor Performance shall be reported through the CPA VENDOR PERFORMANCE TRACKING SYSTEM. The purpose of the Vendor Performance Tracking System is to: • Identify vendors that have exceptional performance • Aid purchasers in making a best value determination based on vendor past performance • Protect the state from vendors with unethical business practices • Track vendor performance for delegated and exempt purchases |
