Product Quality. The quality of suppliers' goods and services is not negotiable. Suppliers are obligated to provide only products that conform to EQ's strict specifications. EQ's demand for quality products is an essential supporting element of EQ's position as a premier provider of quality environmental services.

New Product/Technologies. EQ encourages and expects suppliers to introduce new ideas, products, and technologies to EQ. Through this creativity, EQ is able to offer the customer a more advanced service. This premise is a foundation to our long-term supplier relationships.

Value Analysis: Our suppliers, both prospective and current, are encouraged to provide direction to EQ on value analysis opportunities aimed at enhancing EQ's position in the marketplace.

Pricing: EQ desires multiyear agreements that provide an assurance of continuous business. Our preferred suppliers are consequently well positioned to develop long term strategic plans for their business. In exchange for volume consideration and long-term agreements, we expect our suppliers to commit to stable pricing and annual price reductions over the term of our agreement. When necessary, any proposed price increases are to be presented for review 60 days prior to the effective date of change. Of course, price increases are to be substantiated and "earned" by our suppliers preceding performance.

Product Delivery. Lead-time for orders shall be agreed on between EQ and our supplier. Proposed changes in promised delivery dates require EQ buyer approval.

Confidentiality. Information of any nature provided to a supplier shall be held in strictest confidence. Suppliers confidentiality is an essential supporting element of EQ's leadership position as a provider of premier environmental services.

Supplier Visits. EQ requests our suppliers to meet with their assigned EQ buyer at least annually to review goods and services supplied. Pre-arranged visits can be set up with your assigned EQ buyer.

Terms and Conditions. EQ has compiled a reasonable set of Terms and Conditions given today's highly competitive marketplace. Although sensitive to supplier's concerns, EQ simply does not have the resources to negotiate changes to the Terms and Conditions.
