Last Updated: 6/8/2023

BY ACCEPTING A UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA PURCHASE ORDER THE VENDOR AGREES TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

1. The University of Florida requires that a vendor have a Purchase Order or a PO number issued by a representative of Procurement and Disbursement Services before shipping any merchandise. The purchase order number must be shown on all invoices.
2. All payments made by the University of Florida are subject to University Policy and Rules as approved by the University’s Board of Trustees.

It is the policy of the University that invoices on properly accepted goods or services will generally be paid within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. “Properly accepted” means receipt, inspection, and approval of the goods or services, except that in the case of a bona fide dispute the voucher shall contain a statement of the dispute and authorize payment only in the amount not disputed.

University of Florida Standard Terms and Conditions

These Standard Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are hereby attached to the purchase order and/or agreement, together with any invoices, attachments, appendices, exhibits, specifications, drawings, notes, instructions and other information, whether physically attached or otherwise issued in connection therewith (collectively, the “Agreement”), constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between The University of Florida Board of Trustees (“UF”) and the vendor  identified in the Agreement (the “Vendor”).  UF’s approval and acceptance of the Agreement is conditioned on Vendor‘s agreement that any terms different from or in addition to these Terms, whether communicated orally or contained in any confirmation, invoice, acknowledgement, release, acceptance or other written correspondence, irrespective of the timing, shall not form a part of the Agreement, even if Vendor purports to condition its acceptance of these Terms on UF’s agreement to such different or additional terms.  Vendor’s electronic acceptance, receipt of payment, acknowledgement of these Terms, or commencement of performance constitutes Vendor’s acceptance of these Terms. If any discrepancy, difference or conflict exists between the various provisions of these Terms and the Agreement, these Terms shall control.

1. PAYMENT. Vendor shall submit bills for compensation for goods, services or expenses in sufficient detail for a pre-and post-audit; payment procedures and invoice requirements are available on UFs Disbursement Services website. If UF does not issue payment within 30 days of receipt of a proper invoice, UF may pay to Vendor, an interest penalty at the rate established pursuant to §55.03(1) Fla. Stat. if the interest exceeds one dollar ($1.00). The foregoing provisions apply only to undisputed amounts for which payment has been authorized by UF.  Vendors experiencing payment problems may contact University Disbursements at (352) 392-1241. UF may make payments to Vendor via the University’s EFT/ACH or ePayables payment process. Vendor shall provide the necessary information to UF upon request. If Vendor is making payment to UF, Vendor shall pay timely and not offset any amounts or be cause for termination.
2. TAXES. UF is tax-exempt and therefore is not obligated to pay sales, use and excise taxes.  A copy of UF’s Certificate of Exemption is available from the UF website. Vendor is responsible for applicable taxes under the Agreement.
3. VENDOR STATUS. Vendor will supply UF with a complete vendor application and W-9 or W8-BC (Foreign Vendor); if Vendor fails to supply UF with a complete and accurate W-9 or W8-BC, the invoice will be deemed insufficient for payment until such information has been provided.
4. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. UF’s performance and obligation to pay under the Agreement is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature.
5. AUDIT & RECORD KEEPING. Vendor will cooperate with UF and shall provide specific records and/or access to all of the Vendor’s records related to the Agreement. Vendor agrees to retain all records relating to the Agreement during the term and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, or for the period required by law, whichever is greater, and to make those records available at all reasonable times for investigation, inspection and/or audit by UF and/or the State of Florida Auditor General.  In connection with an inspection or audit, the records shall be provided at a location designated by UF upon reasonable notice to UF. UF will provide Vendor with reasonable notice of the need for such.
6. TRAVEL. Vendor shall not charge UF for any travel expenses, meals, and lodging unless expressly authorized in the Agreement. To the extent that UF is responsible for paying for Vendor’s travel expenses, meals and lodging, such travel expenses shall be paid in accordance with Florida Statutes §112.061, and UF’s Travel Directives and Procedures, and only to the extent such expenses are supported by written, itemized and paid invoices submitted by Vendor to UF.  Any expenses in excess of the amounts prescribed shall be borne by Vendor.
7. INDEMNITY. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as UF’s indemnification of the Vendor or as a waiver of sovereign immunity as set forth and limited by Florida Statutes §768.28.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vendor shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless University of Florida, the UF Board of Trustees, the Florida Board of Governors, the State of Florida and their respective trustees, officers,  agents, employees, and their respective successors and assigns (each an “Indemnitee”, and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) for, from and against all fines, fees, demands, suits, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, lawsuits, royalties, actions, proceedings, arbitrations, taxes, penalties, or interest, associated auditing and legal expenses, and other costs incurred by Indemnitee(s) (including reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees) (“Indemnified Claims”) arising from Vendor’s provision of services, negligence, misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, obligation, or covenant of the Agreement.  Such Indemnified Claims shall include, without limitation, all direct, actual, general, special, and consequential damages. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement.
8. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. Each party hereby assumes any and all risk of personal injury and property damage attributable to the acts or omissions of that party and the officers, employees, and agents thereof. Vendor also assumes such risk with respect to the acts or omissions of Vendor’s subcontractors or persons otherwise acting or engaged to act at the instance of Vendor in furtherance of Vendor fulfilling its obligations in the Agreement.  UF is not liable for the acts of third parties or the consequences of the acts of third parties.
9. INFRINGEMENT. Vendor represents that any goods or services furnished or provided to UF, if any, will not infringe upon or violate any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other proprietary right of any third party. Vendor will, at its own expense, defend any suit brought against UF and will indemnify UF against an award of damages and costs made against UF by a settlement or final judgment of a court that is based on a claim that the use of the Vendor’s goods or services by UF infringes a trademark or copyright of a third party; provided that UF notifies Vendor in writing of the suit or any claim of infringement within 20 days after receiving notice thereof. Such defense and indemnity shall survive expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement.
10. TERMINATION. Upon giving at least thirty (30) days written notice, or as may otherwise be provided in these Terms, UF may terminate the Agreement with no further obligation to Vendor, other than to pay for goods received and/or services rendered and accepted in compliance with the Agreement prior to the date of termination.  Additionally, if Vendor defaults under the Agreement and does not cure its default within fourteen (14) days after written notice thereof, UF may immediately terminate the Agreement.
11. INSURANCE.  UF, as a public body corporate entity, warrants and represents that it is self- funded for liability insurance, with said protection being applicable to officers, employees, servants, and agents while acting within the scope of their employment by UF, and will provide its Certificate of Insurance upon request; UF is not required to obtain additional insurance for the Agreement.
    • Vendor shall have and maintain the types and amounts of insurance that, at minimum, will cover the Vendor’s (or subcontractor’s) exposure in performing the Agreement and at UF’s request, name UF as additional insured on the Vendor’s policies. If Vendor is required to obtain specific insurance under paragraphs 43, 44 or 45 of these Terms, then the policy must carry an endorsement to provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to UF in the event of cancellation or reduction in coverage or amount. In the event the Vendor’s insurance carrier refuses to provide an endorsement to provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to UF, then the Vendor will be required to provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to UF in the event of cancellation or reduction in the coverage or amount and secure any new insurance as required to comply with the Agreement to ensure continuous coverage.   If the Vendor fails to secure and maintain insurance policies complying with the provisions of the Agreement, UF may terminate the Agreement.  Vendor shall do nothing that will adversely affect UF, in any way, including increasing risks, insurance premiums or liability. In addition to the insurance required to be obtained and maintained by the Vendor, if the Vendor assigns any portion of the duties under the Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, each subcontractor or assignee is required to purchase and maintain insurance coverage that adequately covers each subcontractor’s or assignee’s exposure based on the type of services they are providing in connection with the Agreement. UF reserves the right to cancel any award made or cancel the Agreement if Vendor fails to supply and/or maintain the required coverage. Vendor’s procuring of the required insurance shall not relieve the Vendor of any obligation or liability assumed under the Agreement, including specifically the indemnity obligations.  The Vendor may carry, at his own expense, such additional insurance, as Vendor deems necessary. The Vendor shall assist and cooperate in every manner possible in connection with the adjustment of all claims arising out of Vendor’s operations within the scope provided for under the Agreement, and shall cooperate in all litigated claims and demands, arising from said operations, which its insurance carrier or carriers are requested to respond.
12. ADVERTISING OR PUBLICATION. Neither Vendor nor any of its subcontractors or affiliates shall cause or allow the name of UF or any UF logo or mark (or any variation thereof), or that of any of its schools, departments, or employees to be used in any advertising or promotional literature, electronic or otherwise, or in any publication whatsoever, without the prior written approval of UF.   Except with the prior written consent of the other party, no party shall make any press or media announcement concerning the Agreement. In the case of UF, consent must be provided by its Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing.

17. NON-WAIVER.

If Vendor anticipates a delay in the delivery of the Goods, Vendor shall immediately notify UF.  In the event that Vendor fails to deliver the Goods by the Delivery Date not due to the fault of UF, or Vendor fails to deliver conforming Goods, UF may purchase substitute Goods elsewhere and charge Vendor for any additional expense incurred relating to the purchase of such substitute Goods.  Vendor shall deliver all Goods in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  If delivery of the Goods is not complete by the Delivery Date, UF may, without liability, and in addition to its other rights and remedies, terminate the Agreement, by notice effective when received by Vendor, as to Goods not yet delivered or rendered.  Acceptance (as defined below) of any part shall not bind UF to Accept any future shipments nor deprive it of the right to return Goods already Accepted.
