Terms and Conditions

• Purchases under Program 950-S can be made only through the use of a GPOExpressauthorization card.
• A per-transaction spending limit for each cardholder making purchases under Program 950-S has been established. This limitation may be modified at the request of the Agency or may be modified by the GPO. The total of a single transaction may be comprised of multiple items. Each transaction cannot exceed the pre-established monetary single purchase limit; and transactions may not be split to stay within this limit.
• Contact your Agency Point of Contact (POC) to administer spending limit override requests and for administration of the Agency’s GPOExpressprogram participation.
• Nominated Agency employees must complete Program 950-S GPOExpresstraining (www.gpo.gov/gpoexpress) prior to using the authorization card.
• The GPOExpresscard can only be used by that person printed on the card. Each cardholder must take necessary action to ensure that the GPOExpresscard is used in a prudent manner and safeguarded by the cardholder.
• The GPOExpresscard is for official use only. Use of the card for a personal purchase, or a purchase of supplies or services that the cardholder lacks authority to make, or use of the card by a person other than the cardholder, is prohibited.
• Unauthorized purchases may result in any or all of the following: (1) the cardholder being billed the full cost of the purchase plus interest and administrative debt collection fees as authorized by the Debt Collection Act; (2) reference of the unauthorized purchases to the appropriate Office of Inspector General for investigation or prosecution; or (3) disciplinary action, up to and including removing the employee from Federal service. Intentional use of this card for unauthorized purposes will be considered as an attempt to commit fraud against the U.S. Government.
• The individual cardholder agrees not to use Program 950-S to acquire anything for which a GPO requirements contract, written for the Agency, already exists.
• The Agency must report promptly to the GPOExpressManager <gpoexpress@gpo.gov> the transfer or separation of any Agency employee possessing a GPOExpresscard, the loss or theft of a GPOExpresscard and any request to cancel an Agency GPOExpresscard.

Billing

• GPO will bill each week for purchases made by the Agency under Program 950-S. For purposes of generating a bill to the Agency, the value of each purchase made by the Agency will be rounded up to the next whole dollar per IPAC agreement.
• The Agency agrees to pay the GPO bill with no charge-backs to GPO.
• GPO may suspend or terminate the right of cardholders or agencies to participate in Program 950-S for failure of the Agency to pay GPO’s bill, or for such other causes as the GPOExpressManager determines are in the best interests of the Government. GPO will notify the Agency Point of Contact in writing of the removal of any Agency employee or the Agency itself from authority to place orders under Program 950-S.

Liability for Payment

• The Agency retains ultimate liability for all orders placed under Program 950-S, even if those orders exceed the amount of the Agency’s deposit account or appropriation or were made by agency employees in excess of their individual per transaction limitations or were otherwise unauthorized.
• Lost or stolen cards must be reported to the GPOExpressManager via e-mail <gpoexpress@gpo.gov>. Agencies are liable for charges to lost or stolen cards until written notification is received by the GPO.

Miscellaneous Conditions

• When ordering goods and services, the cardholder should inform FedEx Kinko’s that the purchase is for official U.S. Government purposes and therefore is not subject to state or local sales tax. The GPOExpresscard will be imprinted with “U.S. Govt Tax Exempt” for additional clarification.
• Cardholders using the GPOExpresscard under Program 950-S will examine products delivered for defects, and if defects are suspected, proceed to resolve the deficiencies by working directly with FedEx Kinko’s.
• By accepting the GPOExpresscard, the cardholder agrees to all terms under which the card was issued. GPO reserves the right to modify said terms and conditions.
• If you have an invoice dispute, please notify FedEx Kinko’s as soon as possible and no later than 60 days after the date of the invoice in question. Please call 1.800.488.3705 or fax to 1.214.703.4034. The following information will be needed in order to process your dispute: Agency name, account number, invoice number, an explanation of the dispute and dollar amount being disputed.
