INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES

APPLICABLE TO ALL SPECIAL ITEM NUMBERS

SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES: Small Business Participation

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Acquisition Service. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage!ä on-line shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage!ä and the Federal Acquisition Service Home Page (www.fss.gsa.gov) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

GSA Price List – Schedule 70 – Advent Business Company, Inc. Page 14 apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract.

Such restrictions shall be consistent with FAR 9.505 and shall be designed to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate

The ordering activity may require repair or replacement of nonconforming software at no increase in contract price. The ordering activity must exercise its post acceptance rights (1) within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and (2) before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the software, unless the change is due to the defect in the software.

2. GUARANTEE/WARRANTY

a. Warranty and limitation of liability – Advent warrants to customer that the software will perform in substantial accordance with the documentation for a period of sixty (60) days from the effective date (the “warranty period”). Advent does not, however, warrant that customer’s use of the software will be error-free or uninterrupted.

Disclaimer of warranty - except as set forth above, Advent disclaims all warranties, express, implied or statutory, including without limitation the implied warranties of non-infringement, title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose (even if Advent had been informed of such purpose), or any warranties arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that in each jurisdiction in which any such disclaimer is unenforceable, the duration of any such implied warranties is limited to sixty (60) days from the date customer first installed the software on customer's computer; provided, however, that customer's sole remedy shall in any case be that [licensor] will, at its option, repair or replace customer's copy of the software, or terminate this license agreement and refund amounts already paid therefore by customer.
