Note: This section does not apply to work to be performed outside of the United States.) Contractor will ensure that each individual performing this contract, who has access to the Buyer’s manufacturing or technical data, is either a citizen of the United States, a lawful permanent resident as defined by 8 USC §1101(a)(20) or a protected individual as defined by 8 USC §1324(a)(3). This contract requirement is a direct result of the requirements levied on the Buyer by the U.S. Department of State through its International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR Parts 120 through 130.) Clause 2: (Applies where the Contractor is required to use or evaluate the Buyer’s technical data. However it is not applicable where the contract services are to be performed overseas.)The Contractors will ensure that each individual it uses to perform the Contract is –(i)a citizen of the United States, (ii) a lawful permanent resident as defined by 8 USC §1101(a)(20), (iii) a protected individual as defined by 8 USC §1324(a)(3), or(iv) a foreign national for whom a current and directly relevant license or approval has been obtained from the US Department of State, as set forth in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations at 22 CFR Sections 120 through 130, which license or approval is directly relevant to the work to be performed under this Contract.

    For those instances where Contractor is using persons who fall within the requirements of (iv), above, the Contractor shall provide the buyer with a copy of the license or approval at the time that the Contractor assigns the individual to perform any portion of the Contract. For those instances where Contractor is using foreign nationals without a license or approval, the Contractor shall so notify the buyer and, if requested, provide the buyer with a detailed explanation of the steps undertaken to ensure that these persons are not gaining access to the buyer’s technical data as prescribed at 22 CFR Section 120.10 as that term is defined in the International in Arms Regulations, at 22 CFR Section 120. This contract requirement is a direct result of the requirements levied on the Buyer by the U.S. Department of State through its International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR Parts 120 through 130). The Contractor will flow down this clause to those of its subcontractors who will be assigned to perform any portion of the work set forth in the “Contract.”

    2. Seller represents and warrants that only new and authentic materials are used in products required to be delivered to Buyer and that the work delivered contains no counterfeit parts. No other material, part, or component other than a new and authentic part is to be used unless approved in advance in writing by Buyer. To further mitigate the possibility of the inadvertent use of counterfeit parts, Seller shall only purchase authentic parts/components directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”)/ OCM’s or through the OEM’s/OCM’s authorized distribution chain. Seller must make available to Buyer, at Buyer’s request, OEM/OCM documentation that authenticates traceability of the components to that applicable OEM/OCM.

    3. Seller shall maintain a documented system (policy, procedure, or other documented approach) that provides for prior notification and Buyer approval before parts/components are procured from sources other than OEMs/OCMs or through the OEM’s/OCM’s authorized distribution chain. Seller shall provide copies of such documentation for its system for Buyer’s inspection upon Buyer’s request.
    4. If Seller is providing electronic components/devices only, the following certification applies: Certification of Origin of Product: Acceptance of this Contract constitutes confirmation by Seller that it is either the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Original Component Manufacturer (OCM), or a franchised or authorized distributor of the OEM/OCM for the product herein procured. Seller further warrants that OEM/OCM acquisition documentation that authenticates traceability of the components to that applicable OEM is available upon request.If Seller is not the OEM/OCM or a franchised or authorized distributor, Seller confirms by acceptance of this Contract that each product supplied to Buyer has been procured from the OEM/OCM or a franchised or authorized distributor of the OEM/OCM.

Certain information is collected automatically through your device, such as your: IP address; device identifier, Ad ID, browser type; operating system characteristics; information about your use of our Services; and data regarding network connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device) (“Usage Information”).

We are not responsible for the accuracy of the information obtained from third parties or third-party practices.

ADVERTISING, ANALYTICS SERVICES, AND ONLINE TRACKING

We may use third party advertising companies to serve advertisements on our behalf on the Services and/or on Third Party Services and to provide analytics services about the use of our Services and the performance of our ads and content on Third Party Services. In addition, we may participate in online advertising networks and exchanges that display relevant advertisements to our Service visitors, on our Services and on Third Party Services and off of our Services, based on your interests as reflected in your browsing of the Services and certain Third Party Services. These entities may use cookies and other Tracking Technologies to automatically collect information about you and your activities, such as registering a unique identifier for your device and tying that to your online activities on and off of our Services.

CHOICES: TRACKING AND COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS

  • Please refer to our Cookie Policy.
  • Tracking Technologies Generally.
  • Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options so you may need to set them separately. Please be aware that if you disable or remove cookies some parts of our Services may not work and that when you revisit our Services your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations. With respect to our mobile applications, you can stop all collection of information by uninstalling the app. Also, you may be able to exercise specific privacy choices, such as enabling or disabling location identifying services, by adjusting the permissions in your mobile device.
  • Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising.
  • Certain companies may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") AdChoices Program and may display an Advertising Option Icon for interest-based ads that links to an opt-out tool which allows you to exercise certain choices regarding targeting. You can learn more about the DAA AdChoices Program at http://www.youradchoices.com/ and its opt-out program for mobile applications at http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. In addition, certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt-out of certain targeted advertising delivered by NAI members' ad networks. To learn more about opting out of targeted advertising or to use the NAI tool, visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt-out of certain kinds of targeted advertising, you will continue to receive non-targeted ads.

However, we support the ad industry’s 2009 Self-regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising (http://www.iab.net/media/file/ven-principles-07-01-09.pdf). and expect that ad networks we directly engage to serve you interest-based ads will do so as well, though we cannot guaranty their compliance.
