CONTRACT ADVISORY

PLEASE RETURN TO THE NC STATE PURCHASING OFFICE

The contract you have submitted for approval and signature contains wording that would impose unreasonable liability on the
University. The NC State Office of Legal Affairs and the Attorney General for North Carolina strongly recommend that such
terms be deleted.

However, the decision of whether to assume risks of contractor non-performance, default, defect, and other liabilities is left to
the NC State University supervisor (department head or higher) of the employee who wants the product or service being
provided under the contract.

If you specify below that you desire to enter the contract without deleting the provisions that have been identified as contrary to
State and/or University policy, any damages or costs must be paid from the budget for your office.

Please check one:

________ I want Purchasing to delete all clauses that do not satisfy the University's Contract Checklist.

________ I want Purchasing to accept provisions that fail to satisfy the Contract Checklist requirements. I understand that this
decision exposes my department to possible losses or damages under terms that legal counsel has warned against.

Supervisor's signature: _______________________________ Date: _____________

Supervisor's printed name: ____________________________

Printed name of NC State employee who wants the contract:_____________________________

Name of contractor/product being acquired: __________________________________________
