A. Unless otherwise provided for in the solicitation, Purchase Order or Agreement, payment (subject to retention or set-off, if applicable) shall not be made by the State until goods and are delivered or services performed, in full, and accepted. After such acceptance, payment shall not be due until a properly submitted invoice, with satisfactory documentation, is delivered to the State. Payment then shall be made promptly in accordance with R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-11.1-1, et seq.:

1. Vendor payment terms other than as set forth herein may be rejected as being non-responsive.

2. No partial shipments will be accepted, unless provided for by the solicitation or Purchase Order.

3. Where a question of quality or performance is involved, payment in whole or part against which to charge back any adjustment required, shall be withheld at the direction of the State Purchasing Agent.

4. In the event a cash discount or rebate is stipulated, the withholding of payments, as herein described, will not deprive the State from taking such discount or rebate.

5. If not rejected, payments for used portion of inferior or defective goods shall be made by the State on an adjusted price basis.

6. Requests for payments on Contracts under architectural or engineering supervision must be authorized by the architect or engineer and submitted to the agency involved for approval.
