Transactions

All purchases are made through manufacturers or resellers. Members do not purchase directly through ILTPP, and Members are responsible for all costs related to purchases through ILTPP contracts and services. ILTPP monitors pricing and discounts listed under vendor pages, but it is ultimately the vendor’s responsibility to ensure accuracy. ILTPP is not liable for any pricing that is inaccurately displayed. No personal purchases may be made through any of our programs. Additionally, items are not intended for resale use by an organization to any staff, student, or form of any other retail sale purposes.

Availability and Use of the Site

The ILTPP website is available 24 hours a day. If contacting a vendor directly, be aware that the vendor will only be available during their respective business hours. Vendor business hours are typically listed on their website. Similarly, quote requests may be placed anytime, and vendors will only respond to requests during regular business hours. ILTPP encourages members to report vendor response times longer than 12 hours.

Indemnity
