This agreement will be construed to benefit the borrower. If a dispute arises, either party may take the matter to court. Borrower agrees that if any payment provided for in this Note is late, in default, or unpaid for at least 30 days, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages resulting to the Payee. Therefore, Borrower agrees to pay the Lender the sum of $500.00 on default, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, to compensate the Lender for expenses of administering the default. . . . . . This agreement is solely between the borrower and the Steve Bartko dba as Starfire Technology.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Okay, I went onto the website and looked this over. I’ve done a lot of work for the government and continue to do so. Everything is governed by FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) and CFR (Code of Federal Regulations), including the RFP process and how procurements are handled.
I find this whole process very suspicious, but I would start by asking if Starfire is registered with CCR.gov (Central Contractors Registry), which is where virtually every government contractor resides. My business is registered with CCR.gov and I have a DUNS number (Dun & Bradstreet) and a CAGE code (Commercial and Government Entity code). I would ask if they do as well.
If this company is legit and providing materials and services to either government agencies and/or contractors, then they will be registered on CCR.gov and have all the requisite certifications and codes.
They will also have a list of satisfied customers and testimonials (especially after all their years in business).
My business does blast engineering and Force Protection for anti-terrorism and we use all sorts of funky parts and materials systems, and this whole set up strikes me as just wrong. It doesn’t feel right and I know quite a few specialty suppliers working for the government and NONE of them operate this way.[/quote]
I’m trying to figure out the accountability from a customer’s perspective. Doesn’t add up.
