If bid documents, specifications, plans or other documents have been expressly incorporated by reference herein, such documents shall not be deemed to supersede any contrary requirements of CCP as set forth in the following Terms and Conditions. Instead the Terms and Conditions set forth herein shall control over any other documents incorporated herein, and such documents shall form a part of this Purchase Order between the parties only to the extent that such documents are not inconsistent or in conflict with these Terms and Conditions.  

If this Purchase Order is construed as an offer, this offer expressly limits acceptance to the Terms and Conditions of this Purchase Order and notice of objection to any different or additional terms in any response to this offer is hereby given. If this Purchase Order is construed as an acceptance of an offer, this acceptance is expressly conditional upon the offeror's assent to the terms of the Purchase Order. If this Purchase Order is construed as a confirmation of an existing agreement, the parties agree that this confirmation states the exclusive terms of any agreement between the parties.  Regardless of its construction, this Purchase Order incorporates by reference all terms of the Uniform Commercial Code providing any protection to CCP, including, but not limited to, all warranty protection (express or implied) and all of CCP’s remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code. 

Acceptance by Vendor. This Purchase Order shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Vendor upon receipt by CCP of any writing, including a writing transmitted by fax, email, or other means of electronic transmission, indicating acceptance, or by any of the following: (i) shipment of the Goods or any portion thereof, or (ii) performance of any Services hereunder.  

Time/Delivery. Time is of the essence in the performance of the Purchase Order. CCP is relying on the promised delivery date, installation, and/or service performance set forth in Vendor's bid (“Bid”) or proposal (“Proposal”) as material and basic to CCP's acceptance. Vendor shall notify CCP’s Purchasing Department immediately of any portion of the Purchase Order which cannot be delivered within the time specified. Such notice shall not constitute a change to the delivery or completion terms of the Purchase Order unless CCP modifies the Purchase Order in writing. Substitutions are not to be made without CCP’s prior written approval. CCP reserves the right to cancel this Purchase Order or any portion of same if delivery is not made when and as specified.  In the event that Vendor fails to deliver the Goods and Services as herein specified, or delivery of the Goods and Services is delayed, CCP may immediately cancel this Purchase Order, procure the Goods and Services elsewhere and/or hold Vendor responsible for any damages sustained by CCP. The delivery date specified on the face of the Purchase Order refers to delivery at the specified delivery location. Vendor’s sole remedy, if any, for any delay caused by CCP shall be an extension in the time for Vendor’s performance equal to the duration of CCP’s delay.

Shipments. Unless otherwise provided in the Purchase Order, transportation shall be F.O.B. Delivered and Prepaid. All shipments are to be marked to the attention of the Receiving Department as specified on the face of the Purchase Order, and must include a valid Purchase Order number. Deliveries may be made between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless otherwise indicated on the face of the Purchase Order. Deliveries to the Winnet Building may not be made in a semi-trailer. All orders must be filled in the unit of purchase as specified in the body of the Purchase Order. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in refusal of the shipment, receipt of the shipment at no charge to CCP, or delay and/or deduction of payment of the invoice. Risk of loss shall not pass to CCP until the Goods and Services covered by this Purchase Order have actually been received and accepted by CCP at the destination specified in the Purchase Order. 

Invoices. Invoices are to be mailed to the attention of the Accounts Payable Department, Room M1-2, or emailed to accountspayable@ccp.edu.

Cash discounts will be calculated from date of receipt of the Goods and Services or acceptable invoice, whichever is later. Vendor must submit a W-9 prior to receiving any payment on an invoice. 

Pricing. Vendor warrants that the price(s) for the Goods or Services stated herein are no less favorable than those extended to any other customer (whether government or commercial) for the same or similar Goods or Services in similar quantities. In the event Vendor reduces its price(s) for such Goods or Services before Vendor fully performs under this Purchase Order, Vendor agrees to reduce the prices stated herein accordingly. Vendor further warrants that the prices stated herein are complete, and that no additional charges of any type, including, but not limited to, shipping costs, shall be added without CCP’s express written consent.

Tax Exempt. CCP is a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As such, CCP is exempt from sales tax for all purchases. Vendor shall take all action required to cause the provision and purchase of the Goods and Services under this Purchase Order to be treated as a tax exempt transaction. CCP will in no event be responsible for any taxes levied against any of the parties hereto.    

Inspection. CCP shall have the right to inspect and test all Goods and Services at destination before acceptance. All costs incurred by CCP as a result of rejections shall be at the expense of Vendor, and CCP may return such Goods at Vendor's expense. Goods are subject to CCP's inspection and rejection notwithstanding prior payment to obtain discount. Acceptance of any part of the Purchase Order shall not bind CCP to accept any future shipments or Goods and Services, nor deprive CCP of the right to return Goods already accepted. Nothing herein shall relieve Vendor in any way from its own testing, inspecting, or quality control obligations.

10. In the event that, in CCP's opinion, Vendor unreasonably delays or otherwise fails to deliver the Goods and Services as detailed in the Purchase Order, CCP may order Vendor to cease work.  CCP may then, at its option, complete or secure the completion of the Goods and Services at Vendor's risk and expense.

Vendor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which Vendor has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice advising the labor union or worker’s representative of the Vendor’s commitments under Section 202 of Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24, 1965, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

Equal Opportunity for VEVRAA Protected Veterans. Vendor and any subcontractor shall also abide by the requirements of the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act as set forth in 41 C.F.R. §60-300.5(a) of the Code of Federal Regulations related to equal opportunity for protected veterans.
