amounts are to be accounted for and revised with every Task Order entered into between 

the parties. 

Article 4: Acceptance  

A.  The Contractor shall submit a Notice of Completion to SIPA when the corresponding 

Task Order or part thereof has been completed. Each invoice shall contain or be 

accompanied by a written notification from the Contractor that the Task Order or part 

thereof has been completed.  

B.  SIPA shall, within fifteen (15) working days from the date of receipt of the Notice of 

Completion notify the Contractor in writing of those particulars, if any, in which the 

Work does not meet the requirements of the relevant Task Order(s).  Failure of SIPA to 

so notify the Contractor shall be deemed acceptance of the work.  

C. If any work does not conform to Contract requirements, SIPA may require the 

Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, with 

no additional payment. When defects in the quality or quantity of service cannot be 

corrected by re performance, SIPA may (1) require the Contractor to take necessary 

action to ensure that the future performance conforms to Contract requirements and (2) 

equitably reduce the agreed consideration due the Contractor to reflect the reduced value 

of the work. These remedies in no way limit the remedies available to SIPA in the 

termination provision of the Contract, or remedies otherwise available at law.  

Article 5: Taxes and Duties  

A. SIPA, as purchaser, is exempt from all federal excise taxes under Chapter 32 of the 

Internal Revenue Code [No. 84 730123K] and from all state and local government use 

taxes [C.R.S. 39  26 114(a) and 203, as amended]. The Contractor is hereby notified that 

when materials are purchased for the benefit of SIPA, such exemptions apply except that 

in certain political subdivisions the vendor may be required to pay sales or use taxes even 

though the ultimate product or service is provided to SIPA. These sales or use taxes will 

not be reimbursed by SIPA.  

B. The Contractor shall be responsible for and shall hold SIPA harmless from all taxes, 

duties, and similar liabilities arising under the Contractor s national, federal, state, or 

local laws, and which become due by reason of the performance of the work under this 

Contract or any subcontract hereunder, and shall comply with any requirements of such 

laws as may be necessary to effectuate this Contract.  

Article 6: Warranty  

The Contractor warrants that the work to be performed hereunder shall be carried 

out with reasonable skill, care, and diligence. This warranty is without prejudice to or 

forfeiture of any other rights and remedies SIPA may have under this Contract or at law
