representations, or agreements, whether verbal or written, with respect to the subject
matter hereof.

3) ACCEPTANCE - Unless otherwise provided herein, Subcontractor's acknowledgment of


this order or commencement of any work or performance of any services hereunder
shall constitute acceptance by Subcontractor of this order and all of its terms and
conditions. No term or condition stated by Subcontractor in acknowledging or otherwise

by Creative. Any objection by Subcontractor will be ineffective unless Creative is advised
in writing thereof within 10 days of the order.

4) LIQUIDATED DAMAGES – the time fixed for delivery is the essence of the contract, and
all damages for late delivery or any other form of non-compliance with the contract
terms shall be strictly enforced. In the event of delay in performance Creative reserves
the right to retain as liquidated damages from any money due to the contractor an
amount equal to one (1) percent of the cost of the undelivered portion for every week
of delay or a part thereof, reckoning from the time fixed by the contract. The total
amount of the liquidated damages shall, however, be limited to five (5%) percent of the
value of the delayed contract.

monies due or to become due thereunder without the prior written consent of Creative,
and no purported assignments by Subcontractor shall be binding on Creative without its
written consent thereto.

7) INDEMNIFICATION - It is expressly understood that the Subcontractor shall hold


Creative harmless and indemnify it in respect to any loss or claim that may arise by virtue
of, on the Subcontractor’s part, any professional misconduct, breach of trust, illegal acts

and the U.S. Government, if applicable, shall be mutually relieved from any liability as a
result of the onset of a force majeure condition.

8) GOVERNING LAW AND LANGUAGE - This Purchase Order Agreement is governed by the
laws of the Government of The United States of America. All notices pursuant to the

10) COPYRIGHTS - Subcontractor agrees that all copyrightable material produced by


Subcontractor under this Purchase Order shall be a work for hire and, as such, the sole
property of Creative. Creative shall have exclusive rights to reproduce such materials in

11) PATENTS - Subcontractor guarantees that the sale and use of each and all articles and
things now or hereafter delivered hereunder will not infringe any patent or copyright;
that Subcontractor will, at its own expense, defend any action, suit, or claim or assist in
defense thereof, including any brought against the U.S. Government, in which an
infringement of any patent or copyright is alleged with respect to the sale or use of such
articles or things; and that Subcontractor will indemnify and save harmless Creative and

and are the proprietary property of Creative, and that such information shall not be
reproduced or used by Subcontractor or transmitted or disclosed to any person or
organization by Subcontractor, without the prior written consent of Creative, provided,
however, that upon prior written notice to Creative, Subcontractor shall have the right
to use such information in the manufacture of end items for direct sale to the U.S.

provided that Subcontractor identifies to Creative the information to be used, and to
the extent practicable prominently identifies each such end item as being manufactured

performance of any of the terms or conditions or this order, or to exercise any right or
privilege in this order contained, or the waiver of any breach of the terms or conditions
of this order shall not be construed as thereafter waiving any such terms, conditions,

15) CREATIVE'S PROPERTY - If Creative furnishes material or special dies, molds, jigs, or
tools, title thereto shall remain with Creative, and Subcontractor shall dispose of or
credit scrap and unused material and such special dies, molds, jigs, and tools as Creative

property furnished by Creative, and Subcontractor will not include insurance cost
therefore in the price under this order. If the cost of special dies, molds, jigs or tools

in the price hereunder, the same shall become the property of Creative under
completion or termination of this order and will be disposed of as Creative may direct.

RFQ -ACR-088-2019 Provision of printing and delivery services for Grade 2 and 3 Pashto and Dari Supplementary Reading Material (SRM) in Kabul,

and save harmless, Creative and its employees and customers from any and all injury,
death, damage, and loss to persons or property arising from or incident to the work to
be performed by Subcontractor pursuant to the order, whether performed on the
premises of Subcontractor or Creative or elsewhere. Subcontractor agrees to carry and
maintain insurance coverages satisfactory to Creative to cover the above and upon
Creative's request, to furnish to Creative certificates or other appropriate evidence of
such insurance.

18) LIEN WAIVERS - If the furnishing of any labor or material pursuant to this order could
give rise to any liens or lien rights against any premises of Creative or its customers,
Subcontractor agrees to furnish, upon Creative's request at any time or times, good and
sufficient lien waivers by Subcontractor and all other persons furnishing any such labor
or material at Subcontractor's insistence or request.

its customers, higher tier contractors, and the U.S. Government, at all times and places,
as such parties may require. Subcontractor shall provide without additional charge all
reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the foregoing
parties in performance of such inspections and tests. In case any supplies or services are
defective in material workmanship or otherwise not in conformity with the
requirements of this order, Creative will, in addition to any other rights, have the right
to: (i) reject same and rescind the order as to the rejected supplies or services; (ii) reject

supplies or services in accordance with Creative's instructions, Creative may (i) by
contract or otherwise replace or correct such supplies or services and charge
Subcontractor the cost occasioned Creative thereby, or (ii) terminate this purchase
order for default in accordance with the clause hereof entitled "Termination".
Notification of prior rejection will be submitted with replacement of such rejected

provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to Creative. Records of all


inspection work by Subcontractor shall be kept complete and available to Creative
during the performance of this order and for such longer period as Creative determines.
No inspection (including source inspection, tests, approval including design approval),

or remedies provided in this order or in law of equity.

22) WARRANTY - Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, Subcontractor
