The document provides information about hold harmless agreements or vendor demonstration agreements. These agreements are used when a vendor wants to demonstrate or test equipment on government premises without charging the government. The purpose of these agreements is to protect the government in case the vendor believes that the government will buy or rent the equipment from them.
The document outlines the process of using these agreements, including providing a copy of the agreement to the vendor, signing it with the contracting officer, and forwarding it to the Staff Judge Advocate for coordination and signing. Once found legally sufficient, the agreement is returned to the contracting officer.
The agreement itself includes several clauses and terms. It states that acceptance for test, demonstration, or evaluation does not create a promise to pay or a contractual relationship. The government takes no liability for damage or loss of submissions, unless there is fraud, bad faith, or gross negligence. The submitter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the government from any claims related to the test and evaluation of the article.
The submitter is responsible for the manufacture, transportation, and maintenance of the submitted articles. They must also provide instructions for disposal at their expense. The government's testing or evaluation does not imply an intent to purchase, but if they decide to purchase, the submitter must provide new articles.
Submittals requiring protection against unauthorized disclosure will be handled according to government rules, and the submitter agrees that any liability for unauthorized disclosure will be limited to the actual loss caused by the government. Reports resulting from the demonstration or tests will be provided to the submitter upon request, but they cannot be used for advertising purposes.
Acceptance of articles for demonstration, testing, or evaluation does not obligate the government to use them or imply a contract award. The terms of the agreement apply to the listed articles and any future articles until the agreement is expired or terminated in writing.
The agreement includes a certificate section where the submitter certifies their understanding of the terms and their authority to bind the corporation or company. The document is signed by the submitter and the contracting officer.
Overall, the document provides guidelines and terms for hold harmless agreements or vendor demonstration agreements to protect the government during equipment demonstrations or testing.
