NTTA GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I. ACCEPTANCE OF PURCHASE ORDER. Seller’s signing of this Purchase Order below, or shipping, sending, or delivering the goods and/or performing the services described herein, shall constitute Seller’s acceptance of all the terms and conditions set out herein.

No changes in, modifications of, or revisions to this Purchase Order shall be valid unless in writing and signed by NTTA.

II. DELIVERY. Time and rate of deliveries or of performance of the services covered by this Purchase Order, are of the essence of this Purchase Order. Seller’s failure to deliver at the time and rate specified shall be the basis for rejection and termination of this Purchase Order by NTTA.

III.  PACKAGING AND SHIPPING.

Each container must be marked with applicable Purchase Order number and be accompanied by shipping papers.

Failure to agree on any adjustment shall be resolved under the Disputes Clause below, and nothing contained in this clause shall relieve Seller from proceeding without delay in the performance of this Purchase Order as changed.

V. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE. Inspection and acceptance will be at destination, unless otherwise provided. Until delivery and acceptance, and after any rejections, risk of loss will be on Seller unless the loss results from the gross negligence of NTTA.

VII. PAYMENTS. Invoices shall contain the following information: date; Purchase Order number; item number; Purchase Order description of goods and/or services; sizes; quantities; unit prices; and extended totals.

VIII. TERMINATION. (i)For Convenience. NTTA may, by written notice, terminate this Purchase Order, in whole or in part, when it is in the best interest of NTTA in its sole discretion. In the event of such termination, NTTA shall be liable only for payment in accordance with this Purchase Order for services performed and/or goods delivered and accepted by NTTA prior to the effective date of such termination. Unless otherwise specified in the termination notice, termination shall be effective immediately upon NTTA’s delivery of such notice to Seller. (ii) For Default.

IX. INDEMNIFICATION. Seller will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NTTA and its board members, administrators, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, fines, and judgments (including all costs and expenses incidental thereto) which may be incurred by any Indemnitee by reason of any loss, damage, or injury related in any way to this Purchase Order or in connection with any goods and/or services covered by this Purchase Order, unless resulting solely from NTTA’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

X. DISPUTES. Except as otherwise provided in this Purchase Order, any dispute concerning a question of fact or law arising under or related to this Purchase Order which is not disposed of by agreement shall be decided by the Senior Director of Procurement, who shall reduce such decision to writing and mail or otherwise furnish a copy thereof to Seller. The decision of the Senior Director of Procurement shall be final and conclusive unless, within five days from the date of receipt of such copy, Seller mails or otherwise furnishes a written appeal addressed to the Executive Director of NTTA. The decision of NTTA on such appeal shall be final and conclusive unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been fraudulent, capricious, so grossly erroneous as necessarily to imply bad faith, or not supported by substantial evidence. In connection with any appeal of the Senior Director of Procurement’s decision, Seller shall proceed diligently with the performance of the Purchase Order in accordance with the Senior Director of Procurement’s decision (which, to the extent modified on appeal, shall be deemed a change under the “Changes” clause of this Purchase Order).
