Responses Due Clause Samples

Responses Due. The response must be received by the State on or before the date and hour designated for the response opening. Responses that are submitted untimely shall be rejected. The State assumes no responsibility for delays or delivery failures resulting from the Respondent’s method of dispatch; however, there will be a presumption of timely delivery to the State by the Response Deadline if properly addressed and postmarked within three (3) business days of Response Deadline if sent ordinary mail or if sent within (1) day of Response Deadline if sent next day delivery with tracking. The State reserves the right to ask Respondent’s for proof of postmark. Failure to provide evidence of timely submission may result in a Respondent being deemed non-responsive.
