thereof from the Supplier.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Contract, in no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any consequential
damages, including, but not limited to, claims for loss of profit or reputation.
8
Amendments: The Commission may make changes to the Work without invalidating the Contract by altering, adding to or deducting from the Work in
the Contract. An amendment to the Contract shall not be binding upon the Commission unless it is in writing and signed by the Buyer/Contract
Administrator or a duly authorized Commission Representative.
9
Quality of Materials: The Supplier shall furnish new material, which shall be free from impurities, defects, and imperfections impairing strength, durability
and appearance. Materials shall be of good commercial quality in accordance with the Specifications for the intended purpose(s), with structural
properties to withstand the strains and stresses to which they will be subjected in normal service. Notwithstanding any prior inspection or review, only
materials conforming to the requirements of the Specification shall be incorporated into Work under this Contract. Material that has been shipped but
which is found by the Commission not to be in conformance with the Contract Documents must be clearly marked to that effect by the Supplier, to
ensure that it will not again be shipped to the Commission under this or subsequent contracts until such material is corrected or replaced with acceptable
material.

etc. included with the shipment. If deliveries include items relating to more than one P.O., separate packing slips must be provided for each P.O.

must be clearly marked on all packages, boxes, Bills of Lading and any correspondence relating to the Contract. Failure to provide the above
information may result in rejection and return of the shipment which shall be at the Supplier’s expense.

notification of same, by the Commission which shall appear within a period of one (5) years from the date of the actual delivery or such longer period as

the purposes of completing the Contract, shall be the property of the Commission, who shall have sole exclusive rights for subsequent use of same,

Representative for shipping instructions.

portion of the Work at any stage of undertaking by notice in writing to the Supplier. On the date of such notice the Supplier shall discontinue all
Work as instructed whether being performed by itself or its Sub-Suppliers and shall preserve and protect all Work in progress and completed Work.
The Supplier shall be reimbursed for that portion of the Work satisfactorily performed or complete to the date of the notice. The Commission shall not be
liable for any other costs arising from such notice including but not limited to loss of anticipated profits or loss of opportunity.
20
Default by the Supplier: If, in the opinion of the Commission’s Representative, the Supplier by its own acts, omissions or neglect or that of any of its
Sub-Suppliers, fails to comply with the provisions of the Contract, fails to proceed with or delays the Work, or causes expense to the Commission,
then the Commission’s Representative may notify the Supplier in writing of such default and instruct it either to immediately correct the default, or to
provide notice to the Commission of its agreement to correct the default within a schedule acceptable to the Commission within three (3) business
days. If the Contractor fails to correct the default within the time specified or subsequently agreed upon, the Commission may correct such default
without prejudice to any right or remedy it may have under the Contract. If the Commission or any other party under contract to it, suffers any
expense or damages caused by the acts, omissions or neglect of the Supplier, then the Commission shall have the right to deduct the value of such
expenses or damages, notwithstanding the correction of the default within the time specified or subsequently agreed upon.
21
Termination for Default: The Supplier shall be in default of the Contract and the Commission may terminate the Contract if the Supplier either: Fails
or refuses to proceed with the Work with due diligence or maintain the Contract Schedule; or, ceases or threatens to cease to carry on its business
or if there occurs an act or event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Supplier; or, Continually or repeatedly refuses or fails without cause to perform
the Contract in strict accordance with the Contract Documents. In such event, the Commission’s Representative may serve written notice to the
Supplier specifying the default and instructing the Supplier to remedy such default within seven (7) calendar days thereafter or risk termination of the
Contract. If, within the above specified period, the Supplier fails or refuses to correct the default, the Commission may without prejudice to its other
rights and remedies under the Contract, issue a notice to the Supplier to advise the Contract is terminated. In such event, the Commission shall have
the right to take possession of the products, materials, tooling, patterns and equipment and complete the Work by whatever method it deems
expedient. If the Commission is required to complete the Work, and the value including damages exceeds the Contract price, then the Supplier shall
be liable to the Commission for any additional cost in completing the Work.
22
Work Performance: The Commission may maintain a record of the Supplier’s performance in completing this Contract and may restrict it from being
considered for future work if the Supplier’s performance is documented as unacceptable by the Commission.
23
Specified Materials: The Supplier shall supply the material as specified in the Contract and shall not be permitted to substitute any specified material
without the prior written approval of the Commission.
