Itemized Publishers, and Non-Itemized Publishers. See descriptions and chart which
follow. As indicated, it is most desirable for Reseller to have a direct reseller
agreement with the itemized software publishers. If a direct reseller agreement is not
already in place between itemized software publishers and the Reseller, the Reseller
is expected to enter into a direct reseller agreement and submit a rate for that
itemized publisher that is better than the rate for a Non-Itemized Publisher. Over the
life of this contract, product needs or volumes may change and new publishers may
be added by amendment to the itemized publishers’ lists.
2.2.1.5.1 Itemized Highest Volume Publishers (Highest Volume, Itemized Lines).

of sales volume identified for this solicitation, of those publishers who sell
through resellers. This category is the one most likely to include a
Participating State’s enterprise or high volume agreements with a
publisher. Resellers shall be certified direct resellers for publishers in this

category. The preferred pricing that a Reseller receives based on their
reseller certification status, in conjunction with the anticipated
considerable volume of purchases through these Contracts, is the
expected foundation for a very competitive base Reseller Cost, with
further reductions of Reseller Cost as they are achieved through ongoing
Reseller negotiations. A percentage rate above or below Reseller Cost
is to be provided for each itemized publisher. Specific requirements may
be required for some publishers in this category in an individual State’s
PA.

of the publishers in this category represent a high level of sales volume
as identified for this solicitation. This category may include a Participating

for Resellers to be certified direct resellers for publishers in this category.
A percentage rate above or below Reseller Cost is to be provided for
each itemized publisher
2.2.1.5.3 Non-Itemized Publishers (all other distributed software purchases). This
category is defined to include all other distributed computer software not
specifically itemized. Enterprise or Volume Licensing Agreements are not
anticipated in this category. New or existing software products can be
added to this category at any time during the term of the Contract without
the written consent of the LSCA and may be itemized in the online
catalog, if volume justifies the addition. There should be one percentage
rate above or below Reseller cost covering all products in this category

Master Agreement.

any indemnity or right to recover any costs as such right is defined in the Master Agreement and applicable

to achieve reductions in pricing. This procedure may be modified in Participating Addenda and adapted to
Purchasing Entity rules and policies. The Purchasing Entity may in its sole discretion determine which Master
Agreement Contractors should be solicited for a quote. The Purchasing Agency may select the quote that it
considers most advantageous, cost and other factors considered.

have a delivery date or performance period up to 120 days past the then-current termination date of this
Master Agreement. Contractor is reminded that financial obligations of Purchasing Entities payable after the
current applicable fiscal year are contingent upon agency funds for that purpose being appropriated, budgeted,
and otherwise made available.
i. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Master Agreement, Contractor agrees to perform in
accordance with the terms of any Orders then outstanding at the time of such expiration or termination.

22. Participants
a. Contractor may not deliver Products under this Master Agreement until a Participating Addendum
acceptable to the Participating State and Contractor is executed. The NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement
Terms and Conditions are applicable to any Order by a Participating State (and other Purchasing Entities
covered by their Participating Addendum), except to the extent altered, modified, supplemented or amended by
a Participating Addendum. By way of illustration and not limitation, this authority may apply to unique delivery
and invoicing requirements, confidentiality requirements, defaults on Orders, governing law and venue relating
to Orders by a Participating State, indemnification, and insurance requirements. Statutory or constitutional
requirements relating to availability of funds may require specific language in some Participating Addenda in
order to comply with applicable law. The expectation is that these alterations, modifications, supplements, or
amendments will be addressed in the Participating Addendum or, with the consent of the Purchasing Entity
and Contractor, may be included in the ordering document (e.g. purchase order or contract) used by the
Purchasing Entity to place the Order.
b. Use of specific NASPO ValuePoint cooperative Master Agreements by state agencies, political subdivisions
and other Participating Entities (including cooperatives) authorized by individual state’s statutes to use state
contracts are subject to the approval of the respective State Chief Procurement Official. Issues of
interpretation and eligibility for participation are solely within the authority of the respective State Chief
Procurement Official.
c. Obligations under this Master Agreement are limited to those Participating Entities who have signed a
Participating Addendum and Purchasing Entities within the scope of those Participating Addenda. Financial
obligations of Participating States are limited to the orders placed by the departments or other state agencies
and institutions having available funds. Participating States incur no financial obligations on behalf of political
subdivisions. Contractor shall email a fully executed PDF copy of each Participating Addendum to PA@wsca-
naspo.org to support documentation of participation and posting in appropriate data bases.
d. NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Organization LLC, doing business as NASPO ValuePoint, is not a party to
the Master Agreement. It is a nonprofit cooperative purchasing organization assisting states in administering
the NASPO cooperative purchasing program for state government departments, institutions, agencies and
political subdivisions (e.g., colleges, school districts, counties, cities, etc.) for all 50 states, the District of
Columbia and the territories of the United States.
e. State Participating Addenda or other Participating Addenda shall not be construed to amend the terms of
this Master Agreement between the Lead State and Contractor.
f. Participating Entities who are not states may under some circumstances sign their own Participating
Addendum, subject to the approval of participation by the Chief Procurement Official of the state where the
Participating State is located.
g. Resale. “Resale” means any transfer of software for compensation or assignment of services for
compensation. Subject to any specific conditions included in the solicitation or Contractor’s proposal as
accepted by the Lead State, or as explicitly permitted in a Participating Addendum, Purchasing Entities may
not resell Products (the definition of which includes software and services that are deliverables). Absent any

time of completion shall be extended by Contract Amendment for a period of time equal
to the time that results or effects of such delay prevent the delayed party from
performing in accordance with this Contract.
