Standard Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Goods
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PURCHASE OF GOODS (Rev 08-23)
1. CONTRACT AND ACCEPTANCE: These Standard Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Goods (the "T&Cs"), and the written purchase order that accompanies,
attaches, or incorporates them (the "Purchase Order") and, together with the T&Cs, (the "Contract"), constitute the terms of an offer (the “Offer”) by Company
(within the meaning of the definition below). These T&Cs apply only to contracts with companies or commercial enterprises. This Contract is the sole and
exclusive terms on which Company agrees to be bound. The term “Company” includes Spanset Uk. or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries which execute a
Purchase Order in connection with this Contract. This Offer expressly limits acceptance to the terms of the Offer, and Company hereby provides notification of
objection to any different or additional terms contained in any response to this Offer that does not exactly match the terms of this Offer. Any unconditional
payment or other performance of any contract by the Company shall not constitute consent to the application of any terms and conditions not prescribed in
the Contract. In addition to the other terms of this Offer, this Offer expressly includes all implied warranties and all of the buyer’s remedies including, but not
limited to, those conferred by way of any applicable law. Company's Offer shall be deemed accepted by Supplier (as defined herein) and the Contract will
become legally enforceable on the earlier of delivery of a signed acknowledgment, commencement of performance, or shipment of all or any portion of the
Goods (as defined herein) covered under the Contract by Supplier. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Contract, Company will have no obligation to
purchase any specific quantity, or any quantity at all, of Goods from Supplier and Company will be entitled, in its sole discretion, to purchase the same or
similar Goods from other suppliers. By executing the Contract, Supplier hereby confirms that it has carefully reviewed the Contract in detail and fully
understands the rights, obligations, and disclaimers of both parties provided in all the provisions in the Contract, in particular those regarding responsibilities,
risks, intellectual property, indemnifications, and insurance.
2. SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY: (a) Supplier's shipment of Goods will be delivered at Supplier's expense to the place of destination specified on Company's
Purchase Order during normal business hours, on a DDP basis (Incoterms® 2020), unless otherwise set out in the Purchase Order. All Goods will be delivered in
strict conformity with the dates and schedules referenced in the Contract. Time for delivery is of the essence. Receipt of the Goods does not constitute final
acceptance thereof.
(b) Supplier warrants that the Goods referred to in the Purchase Order will be correctly packaged and provided with the appropriate markings according to any
applicable laws and regulations. Company will pay no packing charge unless specified in the Purchase Order. Goods that require special packaging or a particular
way of handling must carry the appropriate markings on the packaging, allowing accident-free unloading to take place. Supplier must also warn Company of
any precautions to take when unloading dangerous or radioactive products. For any Goods that are defined as hazardous or dangerous under applicable law,
regulation and/or Company regulations/policies, Supplier will provide Company with hazardous warning and safe handling information in the form of a safety
data sheet and appropriate labelling for such Goods as required by such applicable law, regulation and/or Company regulations/policies.
(c) Where Company agrees in writing to accept delivery by installments the Contract shall be construed as a single contract in respect of each installment. Failure
by Supplier to deliver any one installment shall entitle Company at its option to treat the whole Contract as repudiated
(d) If the Goods are delivered to Company in excess of the quantities ordered Company shall not be bound to pay for the excess and any excess shall be and
shall remain at Supplier's risk and shall be available for collection at Supplier's expense within three (3) months. Thereafter Company may dispose of such excess
Goods at Supplier's expense.
(e) The Goods shall remain at the risk of Supplier until delivery to Company is complete at the place or places and in the manner specified in the Purchase Order
when, subject to paragraph (g) below, risk in the Goods shall pass to Company.
(f) Ownership of the Goods shall, subject to paragraph (g) below, pass to Company on the earlier of the time at which the Goods become identifiable as the
Goods to be delivered to Company under the Contract, completion of delivery as described above and payment of the price or any installment of the price.
(g) Where Company rejects any Goods in accordance with these T&Cs, such Goods shall be deemed to have remained the property and risk of Supplier at all
times.
(h) If Supplier fails to deliver the Goods within the time specified in the Purchase Order, without limiting its other rights or remedies, Company shall have the
right to: (i) terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to Supplier; (ii) refuse to accept any subsequent or delivery of the Goods which
Supplier attempts to make; (iii) have any sums paid in advance refunded; (iv) recover from Supplier any costs incurred by Company in obtaining substitute goods
and/or services from a third party; and (v) claim liquidated damages at the rate set out in the Purchase Order as well as to claim damages for any additional
costs, loss or expenses incurred by Company which are in any way attributable to Supplier's failure to meet such dates. The right to claim further damages
exceeding the liquidated damages is not barred.
3. PRICE: Supplier warrants that the prices set forth in the Contract are complete and that no additional charge of any type will be added without Company’s
prior express written consent, including but not limited to, charges for shipping, packaging, labeling, custom duties, tariffs, taxes, storage, insurance, boxing and
crating.
4. WARRANTIES: In addition to any guarantees and warranties required by law, the supplier who is to supply the goods, materials and attendant services
(“Goods”) pursuant to the terms of the Contract (“Supplier”) warrants that, from the date of tender of delivery of the Goods and for a period of twenty-four
(24) months thereafter, or eighteen (18) months from the date of installation of such goods, whichever first occurs, all Goods: (i) will be of satisfactory quality
(as defined by local law where relevant) and free from defects in materials, design, and workmanship (whether or not approved by Company); (ii) will conform
to all applicable descriptions, specifications, drawings, plans, instructions, data, samples, and models, including those provided by the Supplier after contract
formation; (iii) will be fit for the particular purpose(s) for which the Goods are required, and Supplier acknowledges that Company is relying on Supplier's skill
or judgment to furnish suitable Goods; (iv) will be composed of all new components; (v) will be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other security
interests, as well as, any actual or claimed patent, copyright or trademark infringement or other valid claims; and (vi) will be manufactured and sold in compliance
with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and trade standards applicable to the manufacture, labelling, packaging, storage, handling and delivery
of the Goods. Such warranties explicitly extend to future performance of the Goods. These warranties are in addition to all other warranties, express,
implied or statutory, which may be applicable. Limitations on Company’s remedies or disclaimers of warranties in Supplier’ s documents, or
otherwise, will not be effective and are hereby objected to and rejected. All warranties and other provisions of this Section will survive inspection
or acceptance of, payment for and use of the Goods and expiration, termination or cancellation of this Contract and will run to Company, its
customers, successors and assigns and to users of the Goods. In addition to remedies otherwise available to Company, if Supplier is in breach
of the warranties set out in this Section, Supplier will, at the election of Company and upon notice from Company, and at Supplier’s sole cost
(including any relevant transportation and labour costs), either redesign, repair or replace (including, if applicable, reinstall) the Goods or reperform the related Services to Company’s satisfaction, prior to the expiry of the time set forth in the notice. If Supplier is unable or unwilling
or fails to make the necessary redesign, repair or replacement within the period specified, Company may perform or cause to be performed
such redesign, repair or replacement at Supplier’s risk and cost and any costs and expenses incurred by Company will be recoverable from
Supplier as a debt due and payable. Supplier warrants that all services provided in connection with the Contract will be performed in a professional and
competent manner and in accordance with the highest standards of the industry, and that it possesses the skills, professional ability, permits, licenses and
certificates necessary to provide the Goods.
Supplier warrants that it shall not deliver Counterfeit or Suspect Goods to Company and shall immediately notify Company if Supplier becomes aware or suspects
that it has delivered Counterfeit or Suspect Goods. When requested by Company, Supplier shall provide documentation that authenticates the traceability of
the affected items. "Counterfeit or Suspect Goods" refers to materials that are (i) mislabeled as to source or quality; (ii) falsely labeled as new; (iii) fraudulently
stamped or identified as having been produced to high or approved standards; (iv) an unauthorised copy of a known product within the industry; (v)
Standard Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Goods (continued)..
misrepresented in some way by the Supplier; or (vi) subject to credible evidence (including, but not limited to, visual inspection or testing) which provides
reasonable doubt that the part is authentic. Supplier shall indemnify Company for all Claims relating to Counterfeit or Suspect Goods, including without limitation
Company's costs of removing Counterfeit or Suspect Goods and purchasing and installing replacement Goods, including any reinstallation testing. Supplier
shall include this Section or equivalent provisions in lower tier subcontracts for the delivery of items that will be included in or furnished as Goods to Company.
5. LIENS: Supplier guarantees that no lien, encumbrance or security interest will be filed by Supplier or anyone acting on behalf of, or claiming under or through
Supplier, against Company, Company’s property or the Goods furnished under this Contract.
6. SAFETY: Supplier will provide all safeguards, and take all precautions, including those required by law, in connection with the production and delivery of the
Goods sold to prevent the occurrence of any accident, injury, death, loss or damage to any person or property and Supplier will be solely responsible for any
such occurrences. Supplier warrants that all Goods delivered hereunder will be in compliance with all Company requirements concerning safety, performance
and otherwise, including, without limitation, any work or services related thereto performed on premises controlled by Company. Supplier agrees to immediately
notify Company of any actual or possible safety or quality problems with the Goods delivered hereunder.
7. COMPANY’S PROPERTY AND PARTS: All property of any kind supplied to Supplier or paid for by Company or for which Supplier has been or will be
reimbursed by Company, including, but not limited to, supplies, materials, tools, jigs, dies, gauges, fixtures, molds, patterns, equipment and any
other similar items, will be and remain Company’s property. Supplier will mark, tag or otherwise identify Company property as such. Supplier will
maintain such property in good condition and repair, except to the extent that such property is integrated into Goods delivered hereunder.
Materials or parts provided by, or on behalf of, Company which have been, or are to be, processed by Supplier are consigned to Supplier solely
for purposes of such processing and remain Company’s property. Company’s property will not be used by Supplier for any purpose other than the
performance of this Contract, will not be commingled with the property of Supplier or with that of a third party and will not be moved from Supplier’s
premises or altered, without Company’s prior written consent. Supplier will keep adequate records of any Company property provided to Supplier
in connection with this Contract, which records will be made available to Company upon request. All Company property, while in Supplier’s custody
or control, will be held at Supplier’s risk, free of all liens, encumbrances or security interests of Supplier or third parties, and will be kept insured by Supplier at
Supplier’s expense in an amount equal to replacement cost with loss payable to Company. All property of Company is subject to removal by Company at any
time, and to return upon Company’s request. Supplier assumes all risk of death or injury to persons or damage to property arising from or related to use of
Company’s property while such property is in the custody or control of Supplier. Company does not guarantee the performance of any Company property or
the suitability of any property furnished by it for any particular work. Supplier assumes sole responsibility for inspecting, testing, and approving all of Company’s
property supplied by Company prior to any use by Supplier. The Supplier is obliged to inform the Company immediately if third parties attempt to gain control
of its property, for example (but not limited to) the event of enforcement measures.
8. REJECTION AND REVOCATION OF ACCEPTANCE: Company has the right, before payment, acceptance or delivery of the Goods, to inspect the Goods at
any reasonable place and time and in any reasonable manner. Neither the inspection, testing, payment or auditing of any Goods, nor the failure to do so, before
delivery to Company constitute acceptance of any Goods, or relieve Supplier from exclusive responsibility for furnishing Goods in strict conformance with the
Contract and the Company's specifications. If, in Company's judgment, the Goods or the tender of delivery fail in any respect to conform to the Contract,
Company may (i) reject the whole; (ii) accept the whole; or (iii) accept any commercial unit or units and reject the rest. Supplier agrees that any notification of
nonconformity by Company, in whatever form, suffices to inform Supplier of the Company’s rejection of the Goods for the purposes of this clause, and that
Supplier will be responsible for any losses resulting from the nonconformity. In addition to all other remedies that Company may have and at the discretion of
the Company, Supplier, at its sole expense, will replace the defective Goods with conforming Goods at Company's plant where the Goods were originally shipped.
Only in case that replacement is not feasible within the timeframe required by Company or if it is otherwise required under applicable laws, at Company's option
Supplier will: (a) repair the defective Goods or (b) repay to Company the purchase price of the defective Goods against return of the Goods. If Company selects
repair or replacement, any defects will be remedied without cost to Company, including but not limited to, the costs of removal, repair and replacement of the
defective Goods, and reinstallation or delivery of new Goods. All defective Goods that are so remedied shall be newly and equally warranted as stated above.
Supplier further warrants that Supplier will convey good title to the Goods to be supplied to Company hereunder and that such Goods will be delivered free
from any security interest, lien or encumbrance. Payment will not be claimed by Supplier as a waiver, release or acceptance to avoid fulfillment of the warranty
clause. Should Supplier fail to remedy any defects or replace defective Goods within the time specified by Company, Company may repair the Goods itself or
appoint a third party to do so on its behalf at the Supplier’s cost. These warranties are in addition to all other warranties, express, implied or statutory, which
may be applicable according to the Purchase Order. All warranties and other provisions of this paragraph will survive inspection or acceptance of and payment
for the Goods and completion, termination or cancellation of the Contract. In an appropriate case, Company may revoke its acceptance of Goods. Supplier
agrees that Company's acceptance of the Goods is reasonably induced by the Supplier's assurances of the quality and conformity of the Goods to the terms of
the Contract.
If Supplier or any other supplier of Supplier makes or intends to make any change to the process, materials, or design details of the Goods, including but not
limited to raw materials or parts used in the manufacture of the Goods, the production process, manufacturing equipment, manufacturing location, raw materials,
the identity of the sub-supplier of raw materials, or between a manual and automated process shall be a “Material Change”. Supplier must promptly notify
Company in writing of any Material Change. Additionally, if a Material Change could affect the Goods or any component part thereof with regard to quality,
functionality, form, stability, safety, or otherwise fitness for its intended purpose, Supplier shall at its own expense promptly send Company product samples
complete with test reports indicating the test instrument used (such samples and test reports together the “Conforming Samples”), and shall verify the
Conforming Sample specifications compared to the specifications and performance of the Goods as agreed to in the Contract. In the event Company determines,
using its good faith judgment, that a Material Change renders the Goods incompatible for the use for which Company is purchasing the Goods, Company shall
provide written notice of such incompatibility to Supplier within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice of such Material Change and the Conforming Samples, if
applicable. Supplier shall only make or allow a supplier of Supplier to make a Material Change necessitating the provision of a Conforming Sample after
Company's prior written approval.
9. BREACH: In the event of any breach or non-observance by Supplier of any terms of the Contract, Company shall have the right to terminate the Contract at
its convenience in whole or in part by providing written notice identifying the breach or non-observance by Supplier. Such termination will not limit any other
rights or remedies of the Company whether under the Contract or at law.
10. INVOICING AND TERMS OF PAYMENT: Supplier will promptly submit to Company correct and complete invoices, supporting documentation, and other
information reasonably required by Company in connection with the delivery of the Goods. Invoices referencing Company's Purchase Order number shall be
issued by Supplier with the invoice showing only the costs/expenditures that are included in the Purchase Order plus VAT and sales and use tax or substitutes
thereof at the prevailing rate, and shall be accompanied with corresponding formal tax invoices, if requested by Company according to applicable tax law.
Company may withhold payment until such documents are received and verified. All invoices including items not listed in the Purchase Order and invoices not
following the Spanset Invoicing Requirements (as notified to Supplier from time to time) may result in the return of the invoice and delay in payment and
payments arriving at Supplier's bank account after the due date as a result of this will not be considered as late payments. All invoices for Goods provided to
Company will be paid in accordance with the payment term stipulated on the Purchase Order. Company reserves the right to pay, in its sole discretion, according
Standard Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Goods ((continued)..
to either the payment terms of the Contract or any alternate payment terms indicated on Supplier's invoice. Any cash discounts will be based on the full amount
of the invoice, less freight charges and taxes if itemised separately on the invoice. Delay in receiving valid invoices of Goods will be considered good cause for
withholding payment without losing cash discount privileges. If the production or delivery of Goods covered by the Contract gives rise to mechanics’ or other
similar liens or other security interests, payment will not be due and the cash discount period will not commence until Supplier has obtained and delivered to
Company a complete release and discharge of all liens or other security interest arising out of the production or delivery of Goods or receipt in full covering all
labor and materials for which a lien or other security interest could be filed or a bond satisfactory to Company indemnifying it against any lien and any costs
and expenses associated therewith. Company will have the right, at any time, to set off and apply against any monetary obligations that Company owes to
Supplier or any of its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates, and the right to set off any obligations and/or liabilities that Supplier, or any of its parents, subsidiaries
or affiliates, may owe to Company.
11. AUDITS AND INSPECTIONS: Company has the right to examine and audit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, any and all records,
data, invoices and documents that may contain information relating to Supplier's obligations under the Contract. Such records will be kept by Supplier for a
period of at least seven (7) years after the expiration, cancellation or termination of the Contract, or for such longer periods as may be required by law. In
addition, Company may inspect or test the Goods at any reasonable time and place prior to delivery. Supplier agrees to provide reasonable assistance for such
audits, inspections, and tests.
12. TAXES: Supplier will bear and pay all applicable taxes which are based on or measured by net income, gross income or gross receipts including any
withholding taxes, surcharges and stamp duty levied against Supplier for the privilege of contracting or doing business in a jurisdiction. If Supplier is required
by law to collect VAT or sales and use tax (including any gross receipts tax imposed similar to VAT or a sales and use tax) from Company on behalf of any taxing
jurisdiction, Supplier will provide to Company invoices which separately state and clearly indicate the amount of tax and Company will remit any such tax to
Supplier. Supplier will have the responsibility of complying with all applicable foreign, national, state or local laws regarding value added tax and sales and use
tax or substitutes therefor including registration, collection of taxes and the filing of returns where applicable. Notwithstanding whether Supplier must collect
VAT or sales and use tax from Company, Supplier will state on every invoice the taxing jurisdiction (e.g. country, state and local jurisdiction) in which Goods were
provided. If applicable, in lieu of payment for any VAT or sales and use tax, Supplier will accept a properly executed exemption or direct pay certificate from
Company. The determination of whether an exemption or direct pay certificate will be submitted to Supplier in lieu of payment for any VAT or sales and use tax
will be made by Company on a location-by-location basis, and Supplier shall provide all necessary assistance and support to Company for the purpose of
securing such exemption or direct pay certificate to the extent reasonably required by Company according to applicable law. With the exception of VAT or sales
and use tax as described above, all other taxes, however denominated or measured, imposed upon Supplier, or the value, price or compensation under the
Contract, or upon the Goods provided hereunder, will be the responsibility and liability of Supplier.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY: During the term of the Contract and for five (5) years after its cancellation, termination or expiration, Supplier shall not make use of
Company's Confidential Information (as defined herein) for purposes other than the fulfillment of the obligations under the Contract, or disclose to any person
or entity, other than those of its employees who have a need to know, any Confidential Information, whether written or oral, which Supplier obtains from
Company or otherwise discovers in the performance of the Contract. “Confidential Information", as used in the Contract, will mean all information relating to
Company's business which is not generally available to the public. Confidential Information includes all applicable information that Supplier possesses that
predates the Contract. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply to any information that is: (i) rightfully known to Supplier prior to disclosure by
Company; or (ii) rightfully obtained by Supplier from any third party; or (iii) made available by Company to the public without restrictions; or (iv) disclosed by
Supplier with prior written permission of Company; or (v) independently developed or learned by Supplier through legitimate means; or (vi) disclosed by
Company to a third party without a duty of confidentiality on the third party; or (vii) disclosed pursuant to any applicable laws, regulations, or order of a court
of competent jurisdiction. Supplier will provide reasonable prior written notice to Company if it is required to disclose any of Company's Confidential Information
under operation of law. Company expressly reserves the right to disclose any of the terms of the Contract or any information relating to the Goods, including
but not limited to pricing, to third parties where such disclosure is in the legitimate interests of the Company. Supplier will immediately notify Company of
any disclosure of any Confidential Information that is not permitted by this Contract and will be responsible for the disclosure or other misuse
of Confidential Information. Company makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, with respect to any Confidential
Information. Company may, in its sole discretion, elect at any time, by written notice to Supplier, to terminate Supplier’s further use of Confidential
Information. Upon such election or the expiration or termination of this Contract, Supplier shall immediately return to Company all Confidential
Information and copies thereof and erase any digitally held Confidential Information. Expiration or termination of this Contract will not affect
Supplier’s continuing obligations in this Section. Company expressly reserves the right to disclose any of the terms of this Contract, including,
without limitation, pricing, to third parties.
14. LIMITATION ON USE OF PAYMENT: Supplier shall not offer or use, directly or indirectly, any money, property or anything of value received by Supplier
under or pursuant to the Contract to corruptly or unlawfully influence any decision, judgment, action or inaction of any individual or entity in connection with
or relating to the subject matter of the Contract or any supplement or amendment hereto. No payment shall be made, nor shall any transaction be entered into
in connection with the Contract that is illegal, improper or intended to corruptly or unlawfully influence any individual or entity. Without limiting the generality
of the preceding, no payments or transfers of value shall be made that have the purpose or effect of public or commercial bribery, or acceptance of or
acquiescence in extortion, kickbacks or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining business or any other benefit. If Supplier breaches the terms of this
provision, Company may immediately terminate the Contract without any liability.
15. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: Supplier will promptly disclose to Company all data, information, discoveries, inventions and improvements, whether or not
patentable or copyrightable, including any and all modifications to Company’s specifications or any process related to the Goods (regardless as to whether
Company specifically requested such modification(s)), expressions of computer programs, manuals, databases and all forms of computer hardware, firmware
and software, conceived, made, first reduced to practice or developed by Supplier arising out of performance of any services supplied in connection with the
delivery of the Goods, all referred to in this Contract as “Contract Developments”. All Contract Developments, including works, mask works or other semiconductor topography rights, works of authorship, drawings, labels, photographs, video and sound recordings, art and software (source code and object code)
(whether or not copyrightable), patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, moral rights, rights of publicity or other proprietary or intellectual property right,
will be the sole and exclusive property of Company in respect to any and all countries and their territories and possessions. Supplier hereby assigns to Company
all rights and future rights in such Contract Developments. Company shall have complete and unrestricted right to use all Contract Developments prepared by
Supplier and its sub-suppliers in connection with the performance of services. To the extent any local law prohibits the assignment of such Contract
Developments by Supplier to Company, Supplier hereby grants to Company a worldwide, exclusive (even as to Supplier), permanent, royalty-free, fully paidup license with a right to sublicense to others, to make, to have made, to use, to have used, to sell, to have sold, to import and to have imported such Contract
Developments. Supplier will execute and deliver to Company such instruments of transfer and take other such action that Company may reasonably request,
including, without limitation, such assignments and other documents required to vest in Company the entire right, title and interest in and to any copyright
associated with such Contract Developments. All Contract Developments may be used by Company for any purpose, without additional compensation to be
paid to Supplier. Supplier will perform, at the request of Company, all lawful acts and execute, acknowledge and deliver all instruments, including assignments,
deemed necessary, useful or appropriate by Company to vest in Company the entire right, title and interest in and to such Contract Developments and obtain
Standard Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Goods (continued)..
and record title to such Contract Developments and to enable Company to prepare, file and prosecute applications for and obtain patents, copyrights and
other forms of industrial property protection on such Contract Developments, as well as continuations, divisions, continuations-in-part, additions, reissues,
renewals and extensions of such Contract Developments, as Company at any time deems useful or desirable to preserve such interests in any and all countries
selected by Company, and to obtain and record title to patents, copyrights and other forms of industrial property protection and applications for such Contract
Developments, so that Company will be the sole and absolute owner of the Contract Developments in any and all countries in which Company may desire
such protection. As used in this Contract, “industrial property” includes patents and copyrights, as well as any other form of industrial or intellectual property
protection which is presently available or applicable, or which may become available or applicable, to Contract Developments, including developments in
expressions of data and computer software. Any reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket additional costs to Supplier required to satisfy the obligations of this
Section will be reimbursed by Company. Supplier hereby warrants that: (i) each Contract Development was developed through Supplier’s sole and original
efforts and does not infringe the intellectual property or privacy rights of any person; and (ii) Supplier has no other arrangement that would interfere with
assigning all of its interest in the Contract Development to Company. Supplier may not use Company’s name and/or logo in any manner, other than as may
be identified in this Contract, without first obtaining written permission from Company.
16. INDEMNIFICATION: Supplier shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors,
assigns, and customers (“Indemnitees”) from and against all liabilities, expenses, suits, claims, actions, demands, judgments, settlements, costs, losses, fines and
penalties, including, without limitation, legal fees, costs and expenses of litigation determined on a full indemnity basis (“Losses”), that are suffered or incurred
by an Indemnitee arising out, relate to or in connection with: (i) the Goods, liens on Goods, defects in the Goods or the manufacture, delivery, use or misuse of
the Goods; (ii) the performance of the Contract; (iii) any infringement or alleged infringement of any third party intellectual property rights suffered by Company
as a result of Company's possession, use and/or exploitation of any of the Goods and/or Custom Work; or (iv) breach of any of the provisions of the Contract,
including where such Losses are caused in whole or in part by any negligence or any act or omission of Supplier, its directors, officers, employees, subcontractors,
agents, representatives, successors, or assigns, and regardless of whether or not such negligence or acts or omissions were caused in part by the Indemnitees.
In the event of an allegation of intellectual property misappropriation or infringement, Supplier will, at its own expense and at Company’s option,
either: (a) procure the right for the Indemnitees to continue using, having used, making, having made, selling, having sold, importing and having imported the
Goods; (b) make such alterations, modifications or adjustments so that the Goods so produced become non-infringing without incurring a material diminution
in performance or function; or (c) refund the purchase price. All such obligations of Supplier to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company are in
addition to Supplier’s warranty obligations and all other rights or remedies of Company and will survive acceptance and use of, and payment for,
the Goods or Services, and expiration, termination or cancellation of this Contract. Where the indemnities in this clause refer to persons other than the
Company, the Company holds the benefit of the indemnity as principal and on trust for each of those other persons.
17. INSURANCE: Supplier agrees:
(a) to maintain in full force and effect throughout the term of the Contract policies of insurance of the types which cover the likely liabilities which may be
incurred by Supplier arising out of the acts or omissions of Supplier (or its personnel or authorised representatives) in connection with the terms of the
Contract or which are otherwise required by law, on the terms and in the amounts commensurate with its business and risks associated therewith
("Insurance");
(b) to the extent permitted by law, to waive rights of subrogation and contribution against Company, including Company as an additional insured, under
policies of Insurance;
(c) ensure that Company is made an additional insured on policies of Insurance under terms of coverage customary to the risk of loss to which Company is
exposed and that the limits of Insurance to which Company is entitled as an additional insured are no less than the amount of total limits of Insurance
applicable to Supplier under all of the policies of Insurance;
(d) to ensure that the policies of Insurance are stated to be specifically primary to any of Company's insurance policies, which policies will be, in all respects,
excess to Supplier's policies of Insurance;
(e) to be solely responsible for any deductibles, self-insured retentions, or other form of self-insurance under the policies of Insurance;
(f) upon Company's request, to timely provide written certification, reasonably acceptable to Company, certifying the material terms of the policies of
Insurance together with evidence of payment of the last premium.
18. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither party will be in default for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under the Contract if caused by an extraordinary,
unforeseen and supervening circumstance not within the contemplation of the parties at the time of contracting and beyond the reasonable control, and without
the fault or negligence, of the party affected including, but not limited to, an event which falls into one or more of the following categories: act of God, fire,
flood, storm, earthquake; war (whether declared or not), armed conflicts, riot, civil commotion, terrorism, acts of piracy, epidemic; nuclear, chemical or biological
contamination; explosion or malicious damage; compliance with a law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, in each case irrespective of whether
the foregoing meet the criteria of force majeure under applicable governing law ("Force Majeure Event"). In order to claim relief from its obligations with this
clause, the party affected by a Force Majeure Event must furnish prompt written notice of any delays or non-performances (including its anticipated duration)
after becoming aware that it has occurred or likely will occur. If Supplier is unable to perform for any reason, Company may purchase the Goods and any related
services from other sources and reduce its purchases from Supplier accordingly without liability to Supplier. Within three (3) business days after written request
by the other party, the non-performing party will provide adequate assurances that the non-performance will not exceed thirty (30) days. If the non-performing
party does not provide those assurances, or if the non-performance exceeds thirty (30) days, the other party may terminate the Contract by written notice given
to the non-performing party before performance resumes.
19. HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS GOODS AND MATERIALS: Supplier warrants: (i) that any chemical substance or mixture delivered to Company pursuant
to the Contract is lawfully available for sale and use in the country of incorporation of Company (ii) that chemical substances or mixtures delivered hereunder
will be properly packaged with all appropriate warning labels, instructions for use, and notices, and that, if such chemical substances or mixtures are supplied in
bulk, Supplier will provide Company with an adequate supply of such warning labels, instructions, and notices for use in Company facilities; (iii) that Supplier will
supply with, or before, delivery, and at any other time upon Company's request, all information known to Supplier with respect to potential hazards, including
possible toxic or harmful effects, related to the handling, use, storage, disposal, or transportation of any chemical substances or mixtures delivered hereunder,
and any precautions that should be taken to eliminate or reduce to a minimum such hazards; and (iv) that Supplier will ascertain and furnish all information
about Goods required by Company to comply with all safety-related laws and regulations (including those relating to applicable right-to-know laws as well as
those governing occupational safety and health, and hazardous materials), and with laws and regulations regarding composition, ingredients, or otherwise,
including promptly furnishing to Company upon written request a list of all ingredients therein and the amounts thereof and information concerning any
changes in such ingredients thereafter. Supplier agrees that it will, upon Company's request, accept the return of unused toxic or hazardous chemical substances
or mixtures delivered to Company pursuant to the Contract. Supplier will not deliver any Goods containing asbestos. Furthermore, Supplier warrants that any
metal delivered under this Contract does not contain any regulated radioactive materials. Supplier agrees to indemnify and hold Company harmless from any

by the party claimed to have provided such waiver or consent. No waiver of any right shall constitute a waiver of any other right, whether of a similar nature or
otherwise.

of Company. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods ("CISG") is hereby expressly excluded. Any and
all claims or matters of dispute referenced in this paragraph shall be resolved in the courts having jurisdiction over Company's principal place of business with
