Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods The Buyer has the right to inspect the Goods on or after the Delivery Date. Buyer, at its sole option, may inspect all or a sample of the Goods, and may reject all or any portion of the Goods if it determines the Goods are nonconforming or defective. If Buyer rejects any portion of the Goods, Buyer has the right, effective upon written notice to Seller, to: (a) rescind the Order in its entirety; (b) accept the Goods at a reasonably reduced price; or (c) reject the Goods and require replacement of the rejected Goods. If Buyer requires replacement of the Goods, Seller shall, at its expense, promptly replace the nonconforming Goods and pay for all related expenses, including, but not limited to, transportation charges for the return of the defective goods and the delivery of replacement Goods. If Seller fails to timely deliver replacement Goods, Buyer may replace them with goods from a third party and charge Seller the cost thereof and terminate this Order for cause pursuant to Section 19. Any inspection or other action by Buyer under this Section shall not reduce or otherwise affect Seller's obligations under the Order, and Buyer shall have the right to conduct further inspections after Seller has carried out its remedial actions.
Acceptance of the Work 19.1 No act of, or failure to act by, the Owner or the OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE during the course of the Work, nor any extension of time for the completion of the Work, shall be regarded as an acceptance of such Work or any part thereof, or of materials used therein, either wholly or in part. Acceptance shall be evidenced only by the Final Payment by the Owner to Contractor. Before any final certificate shall issue, Contractor shall execute an affidavit on the certificate that it accepts the same in full payment and settlement of all claims on account of Work done and materials furnished under this Contract, and that all claims for materials provided or labor performed have been paid or set aside in full. No waiver of any breach of this Contract by the Owner or anyone acting on Owner's behalf shall be held as a waiver of any other subsequent breach thereof.
19.2 Contractor agrees to guarantee all work under this Contract for a period of one year from the date of Final Payment by the Owner or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required under terms of Owner’s conditional acceptance of elements of the Work the Owner deems marginally substandard. If any unsatisfactory condition or damage develops within the time of this guarantee period due to materials or workmanship that are defective, inferior, or not in accordance with the Contract, as reasonably determined by the Owner or the OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE, then the Contractor shall, when notified by the Owner or OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE, immediately place such guaranteed Work in a condition satisfactory to the Owner or OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE. Such guarantee shall be in addition to any implied warranty under law or other manufacturer’s or product supplier’s warranty. The provisions of this Article apply to Work done by Subcontractors as well as to Work done by direct employees of the Contractor, and are in addition to any other remedies or warranties provided by law.
Rejected Items; Abandonment (a) The Contractor may deliver, cause to be delivered, or, in any other way, bring or cause to be brought, to any State premises or other destination, Goods, as samples or otherwise, and other supplies, materials, equipment or other tangible personal property. The State may, by written notice and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract, direct the Contractor to remove any or all such Goods (“the “Rejected Goods”) and any or all other supplies, materials, equipment or other tangible personal property (collectively, the “Contractor Property”) from and out of State premises and any other location which the State manages, leases or controls. The Contractor shall remove the Rejected Goods and the Contractor Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the written notice. Failure to remove the Rejected Goods or the Contractor Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the written notice shall mean, for itself and all Contractor Parties, that:
(1) they have voluntarily, intentionally, unconditionally, unequivocally and absolutely abandoned and left unclaimed the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property and relinquished all ownership, title, licenses, rights, possession and interest of, in and to (collectively, “Title”) the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property with the specific and express intent of (A) terminating all of their Title to the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property, (B) vesting Title to the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property in the State of Connecticut and (C) not ever reclaiming Title or any future rights of any type in and to the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property;
(2) there is no ignorance, inadvertence or unawareness to mitigate against the intent to abandon the Rejected Goods or Contractor Property;
(3) they vest authority, without any further act required on their part or the State’s part, in the Client Agency and the State to use or dispose of the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property, in the State’s sole discretion, as if the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property were the State’s own property and in accordance with law, without incurring any liability or obligation to the Contractor or any other party;
(4) if the State incurs any costs or expenses in connection with disposing of the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property, including, but not limited to, advertising, moving or storing the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property, auction and other activities, the State shall invoice the Contractor for all such cost and expenses and the Contractor shall reimburse the State no later than thirty (30) days after the date of invoice; and
(5) they do remise, release and forever discharge the State and its employees, departments, commissions, boards, bureaus, agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions and their respective successors, heirs, executors and assigns (collectively, the “State and Its Agents”) of and from all Claims which they and their respective successors or assigns, jointly or severally, ever had, now have or will have against the State and Its Agents arising from the use or disposition of the Rejected Goods and Contractor Property.
(b) The Contractor shall secure from each Contractor Party, such document or instrument as necessary or appropriate as will vest in the Contractor plenary authority to bind the Contractor Parties to the full extent necessary or appropriate to give full effect to all of the terms and conditions of this section. The Contractor shall provide, no later than fifteen (15) days after receiving a request from the State, such information as the State may require to evidence, in the State’s sole determination, compliance with this section.
