Delivery Delays If a delay is foreseen, the Contractor must give written notice to DPS and keep DPS advised at all times of order status. Default in promised delivery (without accepted reasons) or failure to meet specifications authorizes DPS to purchase goods and services elsewhere and charge any increased costs for the goods and services, including the cost of re-soliciting, to the Contractor. Failure to pay a damage assessment is cause for contract cancellation.

COMPLIANT PRODUCTS

Providing products or materials that do not meet all specification requirements does not constitute delivery.

Delivery does not occur until the Contractor delivers products or materials in full compliance with the specifications to DPS F.O.B. destination unless delivery is expressly accepted, in whole or in part, by DPS.

DPS reserves the right to require new delivery or a refund if materials or products not meeting specifications are discovered after payment.

RETURN, CANCELLATION, AND RESTOCKING FEE

DPS may request the Contractor accept the return of merchandise that does not meet specifications and cancel an order before delivery. In its sole discretion, DPS will determine if the merchandise return request or order cancellation request, as applicable, must be accepted by the Contractor. If DPS determines that the merchandise will be returned or the order canceled as initially requested by DPS and DPS determines the return has resulted through no fault of Contractor, Contractor may request a reasonable restocking charge.

DPS may pay a restocking charge (no more than 10% of the cost of the item) if DPS determines that the charge is justifiable; however, DPS will not pay restocking or other fees for cancellations requested before shipment by the Contractor.
