for goods or services covered by the Arkansas Procurement Law if Vendor is presently
debarred or suspended pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. 19-11-245. Vendor shall not be eligible to

4. No Other Terms Accepted. No additional terms or conditions shall be effective without the
written consent of the University. The University expressly rejects any terms or conditions

Conditions and Vendor's proposed terms, these Terms and Conditions shall control.

specified by the University, cleared for import and with all applicable duties and taxes paid. Risk
of loss for products shall pass to the University upon delivery of the products to point of
destination designated by the University.

the expected delivery date. The University's Procurement Department may, in its discretion,
extend the date of delivery.
