Xerox Direct Policies
 
 
Terms and Conditions

INTRODUCTION: The terms and conditions which follow control your legal rights with respect to all Products purchased from Xerox Direct. All Products are sold by the Xerox Corporation ("Xerox") and purchased by you. You may have additional rights under the laws of your state. By placing an order on the Xerox Direct website, submitting a purchase order, or placing an order over the phone, you agree to be bound by and accept these terms and conditions ("Agreement"). Xerox reserves the right to alter these terms and conditions of the Agreement at any time, without prior notice to you.

1. PRODUCTS. As used in these terms and conditions, the term "Products" collectively refers to all equipment, accessories, parts, services, software, consumables and supplies ordered from Xerox Direct. Products may include materials that are new or reconditioned to like new performance and functionality. Products that have a ‘U’ designation are used products that have been refurbished to original factory specifications (see Clearance Center for details). To enhance print quality, print cartridge(s) for many models of equipment have been designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point. In addition, many equipment models are designed to function only with cartridges that are newly manufactured original Xerox cartridges or with cartridges intended for use in the U.S.

2. PRICING; ORDERS AND TAXES. Prices are in U.S. Dollars and are exclusive of taxes, shipping, and insurance. All orders are subject to acceptance by Xerox. Orders may not be cancelled or rescheduled without Xerox’s consent, which consent may be given by Xerox in its sole discretion. Unless you provide Xerox with a valid and correct tax exemption certificate applicable to your purchase and the ship-to location, you are responsible for any and all state and local sales, use, excise, privilege and other taxes associated with the order. You may purchase a maximum of five (5) refurbished solid ink Products per month.

3. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY; TITLE; RISK OF LOSS; AND INSTALLATION. Shipping and handling charges are in addition to the Product prices, unless otherwise stated at the time of sale. Xerox will ship to a single street address (no deliveries to Post Office Boxes) based on availability and shipping capability. Xerox may make partial shipments. Title to all Products (except for software) and risk of loss pass from Xerox to you upon tender to the carrier. Xerox reserves a security interest in each Product until the entire amount due has been paid. Products are customer-installable unless installation is expressly included in the Product description or added as a separate item on an order.

4. PAYMENT. Payment must be made by credit card in U.S. Dollars. Cards accepted are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Shipment of your order is subject to approval of the financial institution that issued your card. If your card and purchase are accepted and approved, you agree to pay your obligations to your credit card issuer as required under the terms of your agreement with the issuer. Xerox will issue an invoice or order confirmation to the billing address specified in your order that provides confirmation of credit card charges applied to your card. You agree to pay any collection expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, expenses, and court costs, incurred by Xerox to collect any unpaid amounts.

5. SOFTWARE. If your order includes software Products ("Licensed Software"), such Licensed Software is provided by Xerox to you subject to an end user license agreement that is provided in the packaging or is agreed to when the Licensed Software is installed. Nothing herein shall be construed to grant any rights or license to use any software or other intellectual property in any manner or for any purpose not expressly permitted by such license agreement. If no separate end user license agreement is provided, the following terms shall apply: Xerox grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Licensed Software within the United States, its territories, and possessions for as long as you are current in the payment of any indicated fees (including any annual renewal fees). If Licensed Software is delivered with or within equipment, Licensed Software may only be used on or with such equipment. You have no other rights to Licensed Software and, in particular, may not (1) distribute, copy, modify, create derivatives of, decompile, or reverse engineer Licensed Software; (2) activate any software delivered in an unactivated state; or (3) allow others to engage in same. Title to Licensed Software and all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in it shall at all times reside solely with Xerox or its licensors (who shall be considered third-party beneficiaries hereof). Licensed Software may contain, or be modified to contain, computer code capable of automatically disabling proper operation or functioning of Licensed Software and/or any equipment with or within which it was delivered. Such disabling code may be activated if (a) Xerox is denied access to Licensed Software to periodically reset such code, (b) you otherwise breach any term hereof, or (c) your license is terminated or expires. Xerox may terminate your license for Licensed Software upon the termination or expiration of any agreement under which you have acquired Licensed Software and/or any equipment with or within which Licensed Software is used. If you transfer possession of equipment that contains Licensed Software, Xerox will offer the transferee a license to use the Licensed Software within the United States on or with it, subject to Xerox’s then-applicable terms and license fees, if any, and provided that the transfer is not in violation of Xerox’s rights. Xerox warrants that the Licensed Software will perform in material conformity with its user documentation for a ninety (90) day period from the date it is delivered or, for software installed by Xerox, the date of software installation. Neither Xerox nor its licensors warrant that the Licensed Software will be free from errors of that its operation will be uninterrupted.

THE XEROX TOTAL SATISFACTION GUARANTEE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR REFURBISHED, DISCONTINUED OR CLEARANCE PRODUCTS.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT. Xerox, at its expense, will defend you from, and pay any settlement agreed to by Xerox or any final judgment for, any claim that a Xerox brand Product infringes a third party’s U.S. intellectual property rights provided you promptly notify Xerox of the alleged infringement and permit Xerox to direct the defense. Xerox is not responsible for any non-Xerox litigation expenses or settlements unless it pre-approves them in writing. To avoid infringement, Xerox may modify or substitute an equivalent product, refund the price paid for the Xerox brand Product (less the reasonable rental value for the period it was available to you), or obtain any necessary licenses. Xerox is not liable for any infringement-related liabilities outside the scope of this Section, including but not limited to, infringement based upon a Xerox brand Product being modified to your specifications or being used or sold with products not provided by Xerox.

8. YOUR INDEMNITY TO XEROX. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Xerox harmless, including Xerox's officers, directors, agents, employees, affiliates, successors and assigns, from any claim, demand, or cause of action (including reasonable attorneys fees, expenses and court costs) arising from: (a) your modification(s) of and/or addition(s) to Product(s); (b) your breach of this Agreement, (c) your omissions, misrepresentations, or negligence, and (d) the Products sold by you damage a third party to the extent such claim is based on (i) your modification of and/or addition to the Products, misuse or abuse of the Products, negligence or breach of any provision in this Agreement; (ii) your failure to abide by all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders that affect the Products; (iii) your omission, misrepresentation, or negligence, or (iv) you or your end-users’ intentional harm to any person or property.

10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

You shall not export, directly or indirectly, any technical data acquired hereunder or any Products utilizing such data to any country for which the U.S. Government or any agency thereof at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval.

11. U.S. GOVERNMENT CLAUSES. Xerox is a "commercial item" manufacturer and supplier as defined in Part 2 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and will accept those clauses required to be included in the acquisition of commercial items by FAR Part 12. Tailored clauses and any additional terms and conditions as described in FAR 12.302 require Xerox’s written acceptance.

12. MISCELLANEOUS. Unless you have a separate purchase agreement with Xerox, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement as to its subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements. Xerox expressly rejects any contrary or supplemental terms in any purchase order, acknowledgment or other documentation provided by you, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any such documentation, the terms in this Agreement shall prevail unless specifically so stated otherwise in writing by Xerox.

The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.

If a court finds any term of this Agreement to be unenforceable, illegal, or otherwise invalid, that provision and the remaining provisions will be enforced to the greatest extent possible. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of these terms and conditions or any other provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of such provision or the right thereafter to enforce each and every provision. All changes to this Agreement must be made in a writing signed by both parties. The amendment, cancellation, or termination of this Agreement will not affect the outstanding obligations of either party.

Shipping and Returns

SHIPPING ADDRESSES:

A given order may ship to a single address in the 50 United States.

We cannot ship to other destinations outside the United States, or to a Post Office Box.

To ship items to more than one address requires multiple orders, one per address. For each new shipping address, you must enter billing information, even if it is the same as for the previous address. This is a security precaution to protect against misuse of your account.

DELIVERY TIMEFRAME:

Orders placed for in-stock items will generally ship the same business day if placed prior to 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Delivery timeframe depends on the shipment method chosen.

There are three shipping choices:

  • Standard Shipping (Ground),
  • Second Day Air Shipping, and
  • Overnight Air Shipping.

Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days, Second Day Air takes 2 business days, and Overnight Air takes 1 business day.

Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii are by Air only, and may take up to one extra business day.

Items may be shipped by a variety of carriers and a given order may be split to expedite delivery. There is no increase in the shipping and handling charge for a split shipment.

In general, items that are in-stock will ship immediately, and backordered items will ship as they become available. An estimate of shipping time for each item will be provided on the Order Confirmation page prior to final order submission. Delivery timeframe is a good faith estimate, not a guarantee. Xerox will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, or expense related to any delay in shipping or delivery.

SHIPPING:

Shipping charges will be listed separately on the order confirmation statement, and shipment invoice. Charges vary by type of shipment method, and value of the order.

A table of shipping costs listed by shipment method and order value appears below.

Shipment method is explicitly chosen during the checkout process.

Shipment of any order may be split to expedite delivery. This will not increase shipping costs. If an order is split into multiple shipments, you will be notified of each shipment.
