The following are 3Com Corporation's standard terms and conditions, which shall apply to all future Purchase Orders, unless we have entered into a separate written agreement. Please retain a copy for your files, unless otherwise notified to the contrary. These terms and conditions do not take precedence over any existing 3Com contract.

All Purchase Orders will be transmitted to you via fax, and will reference this set of standard terms and conditions.

3Com requires a Purchase Order to be issued in order to commit and pay for delivery of product and/or service. Invoices submitted to Accounts Payable without a Purchase Order number referenced will be returned to the supplier unpaid by the Accounts Payable department. Please insist on obtaining a Purchase Order for any purchase made by 3Com prior to delivering goods or services. 3Com wishes to pay all its vendors on time, but needs your assistance to do so.
