Purchasing and Contracting

Q: My department has issued the standard University Purchase Order for the purchase of certain goods, but the vendor has countered with its own form documents with different terms and conditions. What should I do?

A: Do not accept the conflicting terms and conditions of the vendor on their face. If the vendor will not accept the terms and conditions of the University's Purchase Order, contact the Office of the General Counsel at 612-624-4100 for assistance in reconciling the conflicting provisions.
