Individual Library Responsibilities
All ordering, shipping, and invoicing will be from and to individual libraries. Libraries should contact vendors to note on established accounts they will be ordering through MHEC contracts. Failure to do so may result in libraries not receiving the correct discounts. Carefully note exclusions and details for individual vendors. Since it is impossible to provide the details of all vendor processing and shipping terms, it is incumbent on libraries to verify these when setting up vendor accounts.
