An authorized representative of the vendor furnishing the items or services for demonstration shall conduct demonstrations. Government personnel will neither demonstrate nor endorse the vendor's products. The Government assumes no cost or obligation, expressly or by implication, for damage or destruction of defective products submitted for demonstration. The Government will not assume responsibility for injuries resulting from the submission to the Government of defective products submitted for demonstration. The contracting officer is the duly authorized representative of the Government for purposes of this agreement, and only the contracting officer may authorize a demonstration or display.
