10 Information Technology Equipment and Services

4. Equipment Purchase Warranty:

4.1 Applicable to All Equipment and Accessories Except as Stated Under Paragraphs

4.2 and 4.3 below:

4.1.1. Unless specified, equipment is delivered and installed without a warranty.

If an express warranty period for Purchased Equipment, other than In- Place, is specified in the applicable Price List or elsewhere in this Agreement, it will apply only to you and will commence upon the Installation Date. During the specified warranty period and/or when Extended Warranty is purchased by the Customer, the following terms apply: Xerox will keep purchased machines (newly manufactured, factory produced new equipment and remanufactured) in good working order, and will make all necessary adjustments, repairs, and parts replacement (including photoreceptors and brushes) without charge, during normal working hours on an exchange basis, upon Government’s request, for a specific period of days from the date of installation provided that such adjustment, repair or parts replacement is not required because of purchaser’s negligence, misuse, or alteration by other than Xerox personnel. Customers are encouraged to include on the Equipment Purchase Order the charges for Full-Service Maintenance to become effective at the conclusion of the warranty period.

4.1.2. Additional Warranty (not applicable to equipment on Xerox’ Full-Service Maintenance): Xerox warrants the parts in newly manufactured and remanufactured equipment to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date the equipment was first installed.

Other than those parts excluded below, Xerox will replace and install (on an exchange basis) parts which have been promptly reported defective and are so verified by Xerox upon inspection. The following parts are specifically excluded from this ‘additional warranty’: lamps, flexible belts, photoreceptors (belts and drums), cleaning brushes, paper transport rollers (pressure, fuser and retard), and filters. This warranty also shall not cover adjustment or repair not connected with any defective part or repair required because of purchaser’s negligence, misuse, or machine alteration by other than Xerox personnel.

4.2 Equipment Installed or Used Outside the 48 Contiguous States, D.C., Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico: The above warranties are not applicable.

5. Newly Manufactured, Factory Produced New Model and Remanufactured Equipment:

Equipment will be either newly manufactured, factory produced new model or remanufactured, at the option of Xerox.

Newly Manufactured Equipment means newly assembled equipment which may contain components that have been reprocessed to assure machine compliance with product performance and reliability specifications.

Factory Produced New Model Equipment is newly serialized equipment with new features and/or functions. It is disassembled to a Xerox predetermined standard and contains new, reprocessed and/or recovered parts that meet product specifications. The customer is the first user of the Factory Produced New Model Equipment.

Remanufactured Equipment means equipment which has been subject to the following factory processes at a Xerox plant: (1) Disassembly to predetermined standards

Information Technology Equipment and Services 11 established by Xerox Corporation for each model, (2) cleaning, (3) refinishing, (4) inspection and testing to new machine test standards, (5) replacement of defective components with new, remanufactured, or used components, and (6) installation of all retrofits designated by Xerox as field mandatory as of the date of machine installation.

Components which are not new are those which in Xerox’ technical experience will not affect machine performance. The purchase warranty for Xerox remanufactured equipment is identical to Xerox’ new equipment purchase warranty. In addition, Xerox remanufactured equipment is eligible for the same Full Service Maintenance terms and conditions as newly manufactured equipment.

6. Attachment of Non-Xerox Accessories to Government Owned Xerox Equipment:

Xerox Personnel will not install or connect non-Xerox attachments and will not be responsible for obtaining UL listing for such attachments. Full-Service Maintenance or hourly repair service will be provided for Government owned Xerox equipment with non- Xerox accessories attached when such accessories comply with the ‘Xerox Attachment Policy’, which requires a Xerox interface harness. The Government may purchase from Xerox, on an open market basis, an interface harness for equipment for which a harness is available. The charge for the interface harness, and its installation, will be quoted at the established commercial price in effect at the time. Upon installation the interface wiring harness will become the property of the Government.

7. Equipment Trade-In: F.P.M.R.

101-46 (Rev: July 1, 1994) authorizes the trade-in of Government owned equipment with the proceeds of that trade-in applicable to the purchase, lease or rental of replacement equipment. However, provision for trade-in allowances are not included in this contract. Consult your Xerox representative for the applicable open market trade-in allowance. This allowance must be shown on the Customer’s purchase order as an Open Market Item.

12 Information Technology Equipment and Services

Full-Service Maintenance (FSM) for Government owned Xerox Equipment and Accessories, SIN 811212

1. Service Areas The maintenance and repair service rates listed herein are applicable to any ordering activity location within a 50-mile radius of Xerox’ service points at major U.S. cities.

Xerox maintenance is often provided at customer locations beyond the 50-mile radius.

Xerox reserves the right to not accept full-service maintenance orders in remote areas or in areas not adequately services by Xerox personnel.

2. Maintenance Order

2.1 Agencies may use written orders, EDI orders, credit card orders, or BPAs, for ordering maintenance under this contract. The Contractor shall confirm orders within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of receipt, except that confirmation of orders shall be considered automatic for renewals for maintenance (Special Item Number 811212). Automatic acceptance of order renewals for maintenance service shall apply for machines which may have been discontinued from use for temporary periods of time not longer than 120 calendar days. If the order is not confirmed by Xerox as prescribed by this paragraph, the order shall be considered to be confirmed by Xerox.

2.2 Xerox shall honor orders for maintenance for the duration of the contract period or a lesser period of time, for the equipment shown in the pricelist. Maintenance service shall commence on a mutually agreed upon date, which will be written into the maintenance order. Maintenance orders shall not be made effective before the expiration of any applicable maintenance and parts guarantee/warranty period associated with the purchase of equipment. Orders for maintenance service shall not extend beyond the end of the contract period.

2.3 Maintenance may be discontinued by the ordering activity on thirty (30) calendar days written notice, or shorter notice when agreed to by Xerox; such notice to become effective thirty (30) calendar days from the date on the notification.

However, the ordering activity may extend the original discontinuance date upon written notice to Xerox, provided that such notice is furnished at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the original discontinuance date.

2.4 Annual Funding. When annually appropriated funds are cited on a maintenance order, the period of maintenance shall automatically expire on September 30th of the contract period, or at the end of the contract period, whichever occurs first.

Renewal of a maintenance order citing the new appropriation shall be required, if maintenance is to continue during any remainder of the contract period.

3. Cross-year Funding Within Contract Period.

Information Technology Equipment and Services 13

Where an ordering activity's specific appropriation authority provides for funds in excess of a 12-month, fiscal year period, the ordering activity may place an order under this schedule contract for a period up to the expiration of the contract period, notwithstanding the intervening fiscal years

Ordering activities should notify the Contractor in writing thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of maintenance service, if maintenance is to be terminated at that time. Orders for continued maintenance will be required if maintenance is to be continued during the subsequent period.

4. Obligation of Funds.

Xerox is not obligated to monitor the use of machines to ensure that billings do not exceed amounts shown on purchase orders. The Government will be responsible for ensuring that adequate funds have been allocated for excess meter usage.

Consequently, the amount of funding shown on any purchase order shall not be binding on Xerox.

5. Loss Or Damage When the Contractor removes equipment to his establishment for repairs, the Contractor shall be responsible for any damage or loss, from the time the equipment is removed from the ordering activity installation, until the equipment is returned to such installation.

6. Scope Xerox shall provide maintenance for all equipment listed herein, as requested by the ordering activity during the contract term.

Equipment placed under maintenance service shall be in good operating condition and have a valid serial number.

In order to determine that the equipment is in good operating condition, the equipment shall be subject to inspection by Xerox under Open Market prices, terms and conditions.

Costs of any repairs performed for the purpose of placing the equipment in good operating condition shall be borne by Xerox, if the equipment was under Xerox’ guarantee/warranty or maintenance responsibility immediately prior to the effective date of the maintenance order.

If the equipment was not covered by a Xerox Full Service Maintenance Agreement (FSMA), the costs necessary to place the equipment in proper operating condition are to be borne by the ordering activity, in accordance with the prices, terms and conditions of Xerox’ “then current” commercial “time and Materials” procedures (Open Market item).

14 Information Technology Equipment and Services

If Xerox, in its sole discretion, cannot maintain the Equipment in good working order during the initial period of assured availability, Xerox shall replace such equipment with the same model or a different model with comparable capabilities. If the unit is replaced with a different model, the FSM rates will be those applicable to the replacement model.

If Xerox cannot maintain an Accessory (for which FSMA pricing is available) in good working order, it shall replace that Accessory but shall have no obligation to replace the Mainframe and/or any Accessory which Xerox determines to be in good working order.

All placement, removal and transportation (except rigging charges) shall be borne by Xerox.

If the Equipment is replaced, the replacement unit is allowed the balance of the initial period of assured availability remaining on the unit replaced. No warranty period shall apply.

7. Liability For Injury Or Damage Xerox shall not be liable for any injury to Government personnel or damage to Government property arising from the use of equipment maintained by Xerox unless such injury or damage is due to the fault or negligence of Xerox.

8. Responsibilities Of The Ordering Activity Ordering activity personnel shall not perform maintenance or attempt repairs to equipment while such equipment is under the purview of a maintenance order, unless agreed to by Xerox. Subject to security regulations, the ordering activity shall permit access to the equipment which is to be maintained or repaired.
