Payment terms follow NET30 conditions as specified in Section 3 Compensation and Payment of the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions attached to the ITB. Contract terms including indemnity, force majeure language, and warranty requirements are governed by PUR 1000 and referenced sections of the ITB.
