of all attachments referenced herein. In the event of a conflict between the provisions set forth below and

or not. If no charge for freight or shipping, indicate by stating"No Charge", "$0","included in price"or other
similar indication. Otherwise, all shipping, freight or delivery changes shall be passed through to the TIPS

the request. If support and/or training is a line item sold or packaged with a sale, support shall be as agreed
with the TIPS Member.
Agreements
Agreements for purchase will normally be put into effect by means of a purchase order(s) executed by
authorized agents of the TIPS Member participating government entities, but other means of placing an
order may be used at the Member's discretion.
Tax exempt status
Most TIPS Members are tax exempt and the related laws and/or regulations of the controlling jurisdiction(s)
of the TIPS Member shall apply.
Assignments of Agreements
No assignment of this Agreement may be made without the prior notification of TIPS. Written approval of
TIPS shall not be unreasonably withheld. Payment for delivered goods and services can only be made to the
awarded Vendor,Vendor designated reseller or vendor assigned company.
Disclosures
• Vendor and TIPS affirm that he/she, or any authorized employees or agents, has not given,offered to
give, nor intends to give at any time hereafter any economic opportunity, future employment, gift,
loan, gratuity, special discount, trip, favor or service to a public servant in connection with this
Agreement.
• Vendor shall attach, in writing, a complete description of any and all relationships that might be
considered a conflict of interest in doing business with the TIPS program.
• The Vendor affirms that, to the best of his/her knowledge, the offer has been arrived at
independently, and is submitted without collusion with anyone to obtain information or gain any
favoritism that would in any way limit competition or give an unfair advantage over other vendors in
the award of this Agreement.
Term and Renewal of Agreements
The Agreement with TIPS is for three (3) years with an option for renewal for an additional one (1)
consecutive year if both parties agree. TIPS may or may not exercise the one-year extension beyond the
base three-year term and whether or not to offer the extension is at the sole discretion of TIPS. The
scheduled Agreement termination date shall be the last date of the month of the last month of the
agreement's legal effect. Example:If the agreement is scheduled to end on May 23, the anniversary date of
the award, it would actually be extended to May 31 in the last month of the last year the contract is active.
Automatic Renewal Clauses Incorporated in Awarded Vendor Agreements with TIPS Members Resulting from the
Solicitation and with the Vendor Named in this Agreement,
No Agreement for goods or services with a TIPS Member by the awarded vendor named in this Agreement
that results from the solicitation award named in this Agreement, may incorporate an automatic renewal
clause that exceeds month to month terms with which the TIPS Member must comply. All renewal terms
incorporated in an Agreement by the vendor with the TIPS Member shall only be valid and enforceable when
the vendor receives written confirmation by purchase order, executed Agreement or other written
instruction issued by the TIPS Member for any renewal period. The purpose of this clause is to avoid a TIPS
TIPS Vendor Agreement JOC Ver.01312020_sr Page 2
Member inadvertently renewing an Agreement during a period in which the governing body of the TIPS
Member has not properly appropriated and budgeted the funds to satisfy the Agreement renewal. This term
is not negotiable and any Agreement between a TIPS Member and a TIPS awarded vendor with an automatic
renewal clause that conflicts with these terms is rendered void and unenforceable.
Shipments
The Vendor shall ship,deliver or provide ordered products or services within a commercially reasonable time
after the receipt of the order from the TIPS Member. If a delay in said delivery is anticipated, the Vendor
shall notify TIPS Member as to why delivery is delayed and shall provide an estimated time for completion
of the order.TIPS or the requesting entity may cancel the order if estimated delivery time is not acceptable
or not as agreed by the parties.
Invoices
Each invoice or pay request shall include the TIPS Member's purchase order number or other identifying
designation as provided in the order by the TIPS Member. If applicable, the shipment tracking number or
pertinent information for verification of TIPS Member receipt shall be made available upon request.
Payments
The TIPS Member will make payments directly to the Vendor, the Vendor Assigned Dealer or as agreed by
the Vendor and the TIPS Member after receiving invoice and in compliance with applicable payment
statute(s),whichever is the greater time or as otherwise provided by an agreement of the parties.
Pricing
Price increases will be honored according to the terms of the solicitation. All pricing submitted to TIPS shall
include the participation fee, as provided in the solicitation,to be remitted to TIPS by the Vendor. Vendor
will not show adding the fee to the invoice presented to TIPS Member customer.
Participation Fees and Reporting of Sales to TIPS by Vendor
The Participation Fee that was published as part of the Solicitation and the fee published is the legally effective
fee, along with any fee conditions stated in the Solicitation. Collection of the fees by TIPS is required under
Texas Government Code §791,011 Et seq. Fees are due on all TIPS purchases reported by either Vendor or
Member. Fees are due to TIPS upon payment by the Member to the Vendor, Reseller or Vendor Assigned
Dealer. Vendor, Reseller or Vendor Assigned Dealer agrees to pay the participation fee to TIPS for all
Agreement sales upon receipt of payment including partial payment,from the Member Entity or as otherwise
agreed by TIPS in writing and signed by an authorized signatory of TIPS. Thus, when an awarded Vendor,
Reseller or Vendor Assigned Realer receives any amount of payment,even partial payment,fora TIPS sale,the
legally effective fee for that amount is due to TIPS from the Vendor.
Reporting of Sales to TIPS by Vendor
Vendor is required to report all sales under the TIPS contract to TIPS. If the TIPS Member entity requesting a
price from the awarded Vendor requests the TIPS contract,Vendor must include the TIPS Contract number on
any communications with the TIPS Member entity. To report sales,the Vendor must login to the TIPS Vendor
Portal online at https://,www.tips-usa.com/vendors form.cfm and click on the PO's and Payments tab. Pages
3-7 of the Vendor Portal User Guide will walk you through the process of reporting sales to TIPS. Please refer
to the TIPS Accounting FAQ's for more information about reporting sales and if you have further questions,
contact the Accounting Team at accounting@tips-usa.com. The Vendor or vendor assigned dealers are
responsible for keeping record of all sales that go through the TIPS Agreement and submitting same to TIPS.
Failure to render the participation fee to TIPS shall constitute a breach of this agreement with our parent
TIPS Vendor Agreement JOC Ver.01312020_sr Page 3
governmental entity,Texas Education Service Center Region 8,as established by the Texas legislature and shall
be grounds for termination of this agreement and any other agreement held with TIPS and possible legal
action.Any overpayment of participation fees to TIPS by a Vendor will be refunded to the Vendor within ninety
(90) days of receipt of notification if TIPS receives written notification of the overpayment not later than the
expiration of six (6) months from the date of overpayment and TIPS determines that the amount was not
legally due to TIPS pursuant to this agreement and applicable law. It is the Vendor's responsibility to identify
which sales are TIPS Agreement sales and pay the correct participation fee due for TIPS Agreement sales. Any
notification of overpayment received by TIPS after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of
overpayment will be non-refundable. Region 8 ESC and TIPS reserve the right to extend the six (6) month
deadline to notify if approved by the Region 8 ESC Board of Directors. TIPS reserves all rights under the law to
collect the fees due. Please contact TIPS at tips@tips-usa.com or call (866) 839-8477 if you have questions

6 Indemnification
3 The ESC Region 8 and TIPS is a Texas Political Subdivision and a local governmental entity; therefore, is prohibited
from
indemnifying third parties pursuant to the Texas Constitution (Article 3, Section 52) except as specifically provided
by law or as
ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. A provision in a contract to indemnify or hold a party harmless is a
promise to pay for
any expenses the indemnified party incurs, if a specified event occurs, such as breaching the terms of the contract
or negligently
performing duties under the contract. Article III, Section 49 of the Texas Constitution states that "no debt shall be
created by or on
behalf of the State ... " The Attorney General has counseled that a contractually imposed obligation of indemnity
creates a "debt" in
the constitutional sense. Tex. Att'y Gen. Op. No. MW-475 (1982). Contract clauses which require the System or
institutions to
indemnify must be deleted or qualified with "to the extent permitted by the Constitution and Laws of the State of
Texas." Liquidated
damages, attorney's fees, waiver of vendor's liability, and waiver of statutes of limitations clauses should also be
deleted or qualified
with "to the extent permitted by the Constitution and laws of State of Texas."
Not a negotiable term. Failure to agree will render your proposal non-responsive and it will not be considered. Do
you agree

a sex offender under Chapter 62, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure; or(c) an equivalent offense under federal law
or the laws of another state.

NONE (Section A) of the employees of Contractor and any subcontractors are covered employees, as defined
above. If this box is checked, I further certify that Contractor has taken precautions or imposed conditions to ensure
that the employees of Contractor and any subcontractor will not become covered employees. Contractor will
maintain these precautions or conditions throughout the time the contracted services are provided.

SOME (Section B) or all of the employees of Contractor and any subcontractor are covered employees. If this box
is checked, I further certify that:
(1) Contractor has obtained all required criminal history record information regarding its covered employees. None
of the covered employees has a disqualifying criminal history.
(2) If Contractor receives information that a covered employee subsequently has a reported criminal history,
Contractor will immediately remove the covered employee from contract duties and notify the District in writing within
3 business days.
(3) Upon request, Contractor will provide the District with the name and any other requested information of covered
employees so that the District may obtain criminal history record information on the covered employees.
(4) If the District objects to the assignment of a covered employee on the basis of the covered employee's criminal
history record information, Contractor agrees to discontinue using that covered employee to provide services at the
District.
