ARTICLE 1: LEGAL AUTHORITY
Each party represents and warrants that it is eligible to participate in this Agreement

functions and possesses adequate legal authority to enter into this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2: APPLICABLE LAWS
The procurement of goods and services subject to this Agreement shall be conducted in
accordance with and subject to the relevant statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations
that govern each party’s procurement policies. Competitive Solicitations are intended to
meet the public contracting requirements of the Lead Contracting Agency and may not be
appropriate under, or satisfy Participating Agencies’ procurement laws. It is the
responsibility of each party to ensure it has met all applicable solicitation and
procurement requirements. Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review
by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation
requirements.

a. A “procuring party” is defined as the Lead Contracting Agency or any
Participating Agency that desires to purchase from the Master Price
Agreements awarded by the Lead Contracting Agency.
b. Each procuring party shall be solely responsible for their own purchase of
goods and services under this Agreement. A non-procuring party shall not be
liable in any fashion for any violation of law or contract by a procuring party,
and the procuring party shall hold non-procuring parties and all unrelated
procuring parties harmless from any liability that may arise from action or
inaction of the procuring party.
c. The procuring party shall not use this agreement as a method for obtaining
additional concessions or reduced prices for similar goods and services outside
the scope of the Master Price Agreement.
d. The exercise of any rights or remedies by the procuring party shall be the
exclusive obligation of such procuring party.
e. The cooperative use of bids, proposals or price agreements obtained by a party
to this Agreement shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
bid, proposal or price agreement, except as modified where otherwise allowed
or required by applicable law, and does not relieve the party of its other
solicitation requirements under state law or local policies.
