Contractual Terms & Conditions

These terms and conditions are incorporated into and expressly made a part of the Purchase Order. Agreement by Seller to furnish the materials, products, or services hereby ordered, or its commencement of such performance, or acceptance of any payment, shall constitute acceptance by Seller of this Purchase Order subject to these terms and conditions. Any terms or conditions proposed by Seller inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions of purchase herein contained shall be void and of no effect unless specifically agreed to by Buyer in writing.

Seller shall be responsible for ensuring the proper packaging of materials hereunder. Seller shall at all times comply with Buyer’s written General Inbound Routing and Shipping instructions.

Unless otherwise noted, payment terms shall be Net 30 days from the date of the receipt of the invoice. Pensacola Christian College and its Affiliates will consider earlier payment terms in conjunction with discounts offered.

Time is of the essence and failure to deliver in accordance with the delivery schedule under this Purchase Order, if unexcused, shall be considered a material breach of this Purchase Order. No acts of Buyer, including without limitation modifications of this Purchase Order or acceptance of late deliveries, shall constitute waiver of this provision.
Seller shall notify Buyer in writing immediately of any actual or potential delay to the performance of this Purchase Order. Such notice shall include a proposed revised schedule but such notice and proposal or Buyer’s receipt or acceptance thereof shall not constitute a waiver of Buyer’s rights and remedies hereunder.

Buyer may, in addition to other remedies available to them at law or equity and upon notice to the Seller, retain such monies from amounts due Seller as may be necessary to satisfy any claim for damages, penalties, costs and the like asserted by or against them. Buyer may set off any liability or other obligation of the Seller or its affiliates against any payments due the Seller under any Purchase Order with Buyer.

Neither party hereto shall be liable or responsible to the other for any loss or damage or for any delays or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, acts of God, strikes, epidemics, war, riots, flood, fire, sabotage, or any other circumstances of like character.

The Buyer may unilaterally require, by written order, changes altering, adding to, or deducting from the Purchase Order specifications, provided that such changes are within the general scope of the Purchase Order. The Buyer may make an equitable adjustment in the Purchase Order price or delivery date if the change affects the cost or time of performance. Such equitable adjustments require the written consent of the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Seller shall not publicly disseminate any information concerning the Purchase Order without prior written approval from the Buyer, including, but not limited to mentioning the Purchase Order in a press release or other promotional material, identifying Buyer by logo or trademark for the purpose of advertising, making a news release, business reference, creating a website content or for products or service endorsement without prior written approval of Buyer, which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion.

The Buyer may, by written notice to the Seller, terminate the Purchase Order in whole or in part for convenience when the Buyer determines in its sole discretion that it is in Buyer’s interest to do so and such termination shall not constitute default.

In the event of partial termination, Seller is not excused from performance of the non-terminated balance of work under the Purchase Order.

In no event shall the amount of any settlement be in excess of the Purchase Order value.

The Buyer may, by written notice to the Seller, terminate this Purchase Order in whole or in part at any time for breach of any one or more of its terms, for failure to make progress so as to endanger performance of this Purchase Order, or failure to provide adequate assurance of future performance. In the event of partial termination, Seller is not excused from performance of the non-terminated balance of work under the Purchase Order.
