All products being sold will need to be approved by Somerset County 4-H Association. If a Vendor adds any products or services that have not been approved by Somerset County 4-H Association, it is a material breach of the contract and the Association may terminate the contract immediately upon notice to Vendor of the violation. Items must be removed immediately. The Vendor may not be granted future contracts.
