Delivery must be made FOB Destination with freight costs included in the quoted price; FOB Origin or Prepay and Add terms are not accepted. Time and rate of delivery are critical, and failure to meet specified delivery requirements constitutes grounds for rejection and default termination. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, and the seller bears all risk of loss until delivery and acceptance, unless caused by the Authority’s negligence. The seller is responsible for ensuring all goods conform to requirements through independent inspections and tests, and must provide commercial warranties of merchantable quality and suitability for intended use. Invoices must be submitted in triplicate to APInvoices@dart.org, with one copy clearly marked as "Original," and must include the purchase order number, item number, description, sizes, quantities, unit prices, and extended totals. Payment is on a Net 30 basis, calculated from the later of invoice receipt or order receipt, and may occur on partial deliveries if the amount due justifies it. The Authority is exempt from Texas state and local sales and use taxes, which will be deducted from any invoice containing them. The seller must affirm equal opportunity in hiring and subcontracting, prohibit gratuities to Authority personnel, certify no affiliation with foreign terrorist organizations, and confirm non-participation in any boycott of Israel. The contract is governed by Texas law, with venue exclusively in Dallas County. The seller also warrants that no employee, official, or board member of the Authority has any pecuniary interest in the order, and breach of this or the gratuities clause allows the Authority to annul the contract without liability. Termination for default or convenience may be issued by the Contracting Officer via written notice, with the seller potentially liable for reprocurement costs in the case of default. Changes to the order require written notice, and any claims for adjustments must be submitted within 30 days of receiving
