Contracting Agency. The insurance policies may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-insured 
retentions. Such deductible and/or self-insured retentions shall not be applicable with respect to the coverage 
provided to the Lead Contracting Agency under such policies.  Vendor shall be solely responsible for the

against any and all damages, claims, losses, expenses, costs, obligations and liabilities (including, without 
limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees), suffered directly or indirectly by any of the Indemnitees to the extent of, 
or arising out of, (i) any breach of any covenant, representation or warranty made by Vendor in this 
Agreement, (ii) any failure by Vendor to perform or fulfill any of its obligations, covenants or agreements set

this Agreement, (vi) any Employee Taxes or Unemployment Insurance, or (vii) any claim alleging that the 
Products and Services or any part thereof infringe any third party’s U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, trade 
secret or other intellectual property interest. Such obligation to indemnify shall not apply where the damage, 
claim, loss, expense, cost, obligation or liability is due to the breach of this Agreement by, or negligence or 
willful misconduct of, Lead Contracting Agency or its officials, directors, employees, agents or contractors.

6.3 
The same terms, conditions and pricing of this Agreement may be extended to 
government members of National Purchasing Partners, LLC.  In the event the terms of this Agreement 
are extended to other government members, each government member (procuring party) shall be solely 
responsible for the ordering of Products and Services under this Agreement.  A non-procuring party shall

procuring parties or unrelated purchasing parties harmless from any liability that may arise from action 
or inaction of the procuring party.

ARTICLE 8 - INSPECTION AND REJECTION 
 
   8.1    Purchaser shall have the right to inspect and test Products at any time prior to shipment, and 
within a reasonable time after delivery to the Purchaser’s Destination. Products not inspected within a 
reasonable time after delivery shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser. The payment for Products shall in no 
way impair the right of Purchaser to reject nonconforming Products, or to avail itself of any other remedies to 
which it may be entitled. 
 
   8.2    If any of the Products are found at any time to be defective in material or workmanship, 
damaged, or otherwise not in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement or any applicable Purchase 
Order, as its exclusive remedy, Purchaser may at its option and at Vendor’s sole cost and expense, elect 
either to (i) return any damaged, non-conforming or defective Products to Vendor for correction or 
replacement, or (ii) require Vendor to inspect the Products and remove or replace damaged, non-conforming 
or defective Products with conforming Products. If Purchaser elects option (ii) in the preceding sentence and 
Vendor fails promptly to make the necessary inspection, removal and replacement, Purchaser, at its option, 
may inspect the Products and Vendor shall bear the cost thereof. Payment by Purchaser of any invoice shall 
not constitute acceptance of the Products covered by such invoice, and acceptance by Purchaser shall not 
relieve Vendor of its warranties or other obligations under this Agreement. 
 
8.3 
The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
 
ARTICLE 9 – SUBSTITUTIONS 
 
Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, Vendor may not make any substitutions of Products, or any

obligations hereunder. At Purchaser’s request, Vendor shall provide to Purchaser copies of any or all such 
licenses, permits, approvals, authorizations, registrations and certificates.

11.2 Any knowledge or information which Vendor or any of its affiliates shall have disclosed or may

Subject to Vendor’s reasonable security and confidentiality procedures, Purchaser, or any third party 
retained by Purchaser, may at any time upon prior reasonable notice to Vendor, during normal business

Agreement by Vendor. Vendor shall maintain all such books, records and accounts for a period of at least 
three (3) years after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement. The Purchaser’s right to audit

remedies under Applicable Law, including without limitation, equitable relief. The provisions of this Article shall 
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
 
ARTICLE 14 - RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES 
 
Vendor is an independent contractor and is not an agent, servant, employee, legal 
representative, partner or joint venture of Purchaser.  Nothing herein shall be deemed or construed as 
creating a joint venture or partnership between Vendor and Purchaser. Neither Party has the power or 
authority to bind or commit the other. 
 
ARTICLE 15 - NOTICES

set forth in such writing.

into this Agreement on behalf of other government agencies that desire to access this Agreement to purchase 
Products and Services. Vendor must work directly with any Participating Agency concerning the placement of 
orders, issuance of the purchase orders, contractual disputes, invoicing, and payment. The Lead Contracting 
Agency shall not be held liable for any costs, damages, etc., incurred by any Participating Agency. 
 
Any subsequent contract entered into between Vendor and any Participating Agency shall be 
construed to be in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State in which the Participating Agency 
exists. Each Participating Agency is directed to execute an Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing 
Agreement (“IGA”), as set forth on the NPPGov web site, www.nppgov.com. The IGA allows the Participating 
Agency to purchase Products and Services from the Vendor in accordance with each Participating Agency’s 
legal requirements as if it were the “Purchaser” hereunder.
