Buyer. Goods shall be delivered free of all liens of third parties. Unless otherwise specified on the face of the Order, all deliveries are for "inside delivery." The
Seller shall notify the Buyer prior to delivery as Buyer's facilities are gated and secure and Seller will require access for delivery.

of this Agreement may be modified or waived unless Buyer expressly consents in writing to each such change. No omission by Buyer to enforce any provision of
this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of its rights to enforce any provision thereafter.
QUANTITY. The specific quantity ordered must be delivered in full and not be changed without the Buyer's prior consent in writing. Any unauthorized quantity
received is subject to Buyer's rejection and return at Seller's expense. No allowances for trade practices will be accepted unless expressly agreed to by Buyer in

the State of Florida and of the United States, neither Contractor nor any subcontractor, supplier of materials, laborer, or other person or entity shall file or maintain
any lien for labor or materials delivered in the performance of this Contract against the FPUA. The right to maintain such lien for any of the above parties is hereby
expressly waived.

received, whichever occurs later. Payment shall be made within (45) days of receipt of an accepted invoice.
SHIPMENTS. All shipments are FOB Destination; title transfer will take place at delivery site. All freight changes are to be included on the invoice or Visa receipt.
C.O.D. shipments will not be accepted. If the Order authorizes addition of freight to Invoice, Seller agrees to make complete shipments in accordance with the Order
schedule. Any increase in freight cost resulting from unauthorized split shipments shall be Seller's responsibility. Seller will pay all charges for containers, crating,

at Buyer's option. Seller shall bear all handling and transportation costs associated with such returns, both to and from Buyer.
Neither payment for, nor use of, any goods or services shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by Buyer, nor shall it be deemed a waiver of any defects. Nothing
in this section shall limit or otherwise affect Buyer's rights under the Warranty provisions of this Agreement.
Seller is liable to Buyer for all damages and expenses resulting from Seller's failure to make timely delivery of goods and services of the quantity and quality specified,
if Buyer rejects such goods and services, in whole or in part, or terminates the Order.
TAXES AND TARIFFS. The FPUA is exempt from federal excise tax, transportation tax, and state sales tax; therefore, the Seller shall not include these taxes on the
invoice. The FPUA will provide Exemption Certificate upon request. Transportation Charges on all shipments must be fully prepaid by Seller.
PAYMENT METHODS. ACH payments are the FPUA's preferred payment method. On Visa purchases, the Seller shall email the original receipt to the Buyer. Receipt
shall indicate paid by Visa, the Buyer's name, items purchased, quantity, and unit prices. Any credit card fees must be included in the seller's proposal.
TERMINATION
TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Buyer has the right at any time to terminate or to suspend the Order, in whole or in part, for Buyer's convenience, by mailing
written notice or otherwise notifying the Seller. In the event of such termination or suspension, Buyer will make an equitable payment to Seller, if Seller is not then
delinquent in its performance to Buyer, and Seller makes reasonable efforts to mitigate its performance after notice of such termination. In no event will such
payment exceed the total price herein. Buyer may terminate or suspend the Order for its convenience, whether or not the Agreement has been terminated or
suspended by others.
TERMINATION FOR NON-APPROPRIATION. The effectiveness of this Agreement is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the FPUA Board. Buyer or Seller

ATTACHMENT T
3. Defective or Nonconforming Performance - If goods or services are defective in supplies, workmanship, or quality; fail to conform to approved samples

consent of the Buyer. Failure to comply with the provisions may result in a cancellation of the Buyer's obligations hereunder. If Seller sells all or a majority of its
shares, merges with, or otherwise is acquired by or unifies with a third party, it shall notify the Buyer within (10) days.
PATENTS. Seller warrants that the use or sale of any of the goods supplied hereunder will not infringe any patents, United States or Foreign. Seller agrees to defend,

the parties.

quotations that are in addition to or inconsistent with the terms and conditions contained in the Order are not be part of the agreement between the parties. In
the event of a conflict, these Terms and Conditions shall take precedent, followed by the Order and then the contract, if any, executed between the parties.
An acknowledgment by Seller which contains terms in addition to or inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the Order, or a rejection of any term
of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be a counteroffer to Buyer and shall not be binding upon Buyer unless specific acceptance thereof is made in writing to the
Seller. However, performance by Seller, in the absence of written acceptance of such counteroffer by Buyer, shall be deemed to be performance in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
GOVERNING LAW. This agreement is to be construed as though made in and to be performed in the State of Florida and is to be governed by the laws of Florida in
all respects without reference to the laws of any other state or nation. The venue of any action taken to enforce the Agreement, arising out of this Agreement, or
related to this Agreement, shall be in St. Lucie County, Florida. The parties to this Agreement hereby freely, voluntarily, and expressly, waive their respective rights
to trial by jury on any issues so triable after having the opportunity to consult with an attorney. The parties hereby agree that the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.

any and all claims, actions, liabilities, losses and expenses including, but not limited to, attorney's fees for personal, economic, or bodily injury, wrongful death, loss
of or damage to property, at law or in equity, which may arise or may be alleged to have risen from the negligent acts, errors, omissions or other wrongful conduct
of Seller, agents, laborers, subcontractors or other personnel entity acting under Seller control in connection with the Seller's performance of services under this
Agreement. To that extent, Seller shall pay any and all such claims and losses and shall pay any and all such costs and judgments which may issue from any lawsuit
arising from such claims and losses including wrongful termination or allegations of discrimination or harassment and shall pay all costs and attorney's fees expended
by the Buyer in defense of such claims and losses, including appeals. The foregoing hold-harmless obligation of Seller shall extend to all damages, losses, and claims
of any kind, whether actual or alleged, arising from the operations of Seller or any of its agents, laborers, subcontractors, or employees, regardless of whether
applicable insurance policies are determined to cover such damages or claims. Seller shall remain fully responsible for any violation of laws, rules, regulations, or
ordinances relating in any way to the conduct of persons engaged in, or the materials or methods used by Seller in, the performance of this Agreement. This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall survive termination of the
Agreement.
SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or otherwise interpreted as waiving the Buyer's sovereign immunity protections
whether by contract or by law. The parties agree that the Buyer's liability in all instances shall be limited to the monetary limits set forth in Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes.
REMEDIES. The remedies herein reserved to Buyer shall be cumulative, and in addition to any remedies provided by law. No waiver of a breach of any provision
shall constitute a waiver of any other breach, or of such provision, unless specifically agreed to by Buyer in writing.
RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Buyer shall be entitled at any time to set off any sums owing by Seller to Buyer against sums payable by Buyer concerning the Order.
ATTORNEY'S FEES. Each party is responsible for its own attorney's fees for any action arising from or related to this Agreement. Each party expressly waives any
right to seek attorney's fees from the other party, regardless of the source of such right.

goods or services.
CYBER SECURITY INCIDENT NOTIFICATION. Seller acknowledges that time is of the essence in responding to cybersecurity risks. Seller shall notify Buyer as soon as
practicable, and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after discovery of any Security incident. For purposes of this section, a "Security Incident," means any
actual or reasonably suspected (i) unauthorized access to, acquisition of, use of, disclosure of, alteration of, or destruction of Buyer Data; (ii) compromise of Seller's
