The following conditions apply to all Aerotek Welding Company Supplier Purchase Orders
- Acceptance of Order. The Supplier accepts the purchase order by acknowledging it, beginning work, or delivering any goods or services. Any different or additional terms proposed by the Supplier apply only if Aerotek agrees to them in writing.
- Conformance. Goods and services must conform to the purchase order and all referenced drawings, specifications, revisions, and quality requirements. The Supplier will use qualified personnel and properly maintained equipment appropriate for the work performed.
- Price, Delivery, and Invoices. Prices and delivery dates stated on the purchase order may not be changed without Aerotek’s written approval. The Supplier must promptly notify Aerotek of any actual or anticipated delay. Invoices must reference the Aerotek purchase order number and accurately describe the goods or services provided.
- Inspection and Acceptance. Aerotek may inspect supplied goods, services, and required documentation. Inspection, payment, or use does not waive Aerotek’s right to reject a nonconforming item or service. When appropriate, the Supplier will correct, replace, or reperform nonconforming work as agreed with Aerotek.
- Nonconforming Product or Service. The Supplier must notify Aerotek before shipment or completion if any nonconformity is identified. The Supplier may not use-as-is, repair, rework, or otherwise dispose of a nonconformity affecting the order without Aerotek’s written approval when such approval is required.
- Changes. The Supplier must notify Aerotek before making a change that could affect conformity, including changes to the product, material, process, approved supplier, equipment, manufacturing or service location, or key personnel qualification. Aerotek’s written approval is required before implementing an order-affecting change.
- Sub-tier Suppliers and Flow-down. The Supplier remains responsible for work performed by its sub-tier suppliers and must flow down all applicable purchase order, drawing, specification, quality, regulatory, and customer requirements.
- Records and Certifications. The Supplier must provide certificates, test reports, calibration records, material certifications, or other records when required by the purchase order. Records supporting conformity must be legible, traceable to the order, protected from loss or alteration, and retained for 10 years unless the purchase order or applicable requirement states a different period. Records must be disposed of securely when no longer required.
- Right of Access. Upon reasonable notice, the Supplier will provide Aerotek, Aerotek’s customer, and applicable regulatory authorities reasonable access to areas and records related to the order, including applicable sub-tier activities. Access will be coordinated to protect safety, security, and unrelated confidential information.
- Customer Property and Confidential Information. The Supplier must identify, protect, and use Aerotek- or customer-owned parts, tooling, drawings, and information only for the order. Loss, damage, or unauthorized disclosure must be reported promptly to Aerotek. Controlled or confidential information may not be shared with another party without authorization.
- Compliance and Safety. The Supplier must comply with laws, regulations, and safety requirements applicable to its performance of the order. The Supplier must promptly notify Aerotek of any known product-safety issue, legal restriction, or regulatory concern that could affect supplied goods or services.
- Counterfeit and Suspect Material. The Supplier must use reputable sources and must not knowingly provide counterfeit, substituted, misrepresented, or suspect material. If such material is suspected or discovered, the Supplier must notify Aerotek promptly and provide available traceability documentation.
- Special Material Documentation. For electrodes and weld wire, the Supplier must provide a conflict-minerals statement when requested or required by the purchase order. For chemical substances, the Supplier must provide a current Safety Data Sheet with or before the initial shipment and whenever the Safety Data Sheet is revised.
- Awareness and Ethical Conduct. The Supplier must ensure that personnel performing work affecting the order understand the applicable requirements, their contribution to product or service conformity and product safety, and the importance of ethical behavior. Suspected falsification of records or other unethical conduct affecting an Aerotek order must be reported promptly.
- Export-Controlled or Government Information. When Aerotek identifies information or material as export-controlled, CUI, CDI, or otherwise restricted, the Supplier must follow the handling and access instructions stated in the purchase order or accompanying documentation. No representation of cybersecurity certification is required unless expressly stated and accepted in writing.
