5.1. Seller warrants that Products shall be delivered free from defects in material, workmanship, and title and that Services shall be performed in a competent, diligent manner in accordance with any mutually agreed specifications.

5.2. All warranty requests must receive prior approval from Seller before Buyer returns any product. The Seller’s Return Material Authorization (RMA) number will authenticate the warranty request upon receipt at Seller’s facility. The Seller will have sole right to accept or deny any warranty upon evaluation of returned item. Failure to have Seller’s RMA number clearly marked on Buyer documentation will invalidate warranty consideration. The product warranty shall start on date of delivery to Buyer, except as noted below, and shall apply as follows:

  • New Products*: One year
  • Repaired Products*: One year

*Note: Any Products returned and determined by Seller to have a No Fault Found (NFF) finding will result in charges to Buyer for inspection, test, and recertification. Seller’s obligation is limited to the repair and/or replacement of such products returned to the Seller, transportation charges prepaid, within time periods listed above to the Buyer when examination thereof shall disclose them to Seller’s satisfaction, to have been defective. This Warranty does not apply to any of Seller’s products which have been disassembled, repaired, or altered by anyone other than Seller or subjected to improper installation, misuse, or abuse as determined by Seller. Except for the warranty coverage referenced above, Seller will not have any liability or obligation to Buyer or any other person for any claim, loss, damage, or expense caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the inadequacy of any products for any purpose, by any deficiency or defect in any product, by the use or performance of any products or by any failure or delay in Seller’s performance hereunder, or for any special, direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, however caused, including, without limitation, personal injury or loss, or business or profit, whether or not Buyer will have informed Seller of the possibility or likelihood of any such damages.

5.3. If Products or Services do not meet the above warranties, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing prior to expiration of the warranty period. Seller shall, at its option (a) repair or replace defective Products; and / or (b) re-perform defective Services. If despite Seller’s reasonable efforts, a non­conforming Product cannot be repaired or replaced, or non-conforming Services cannot be re-performed, Seller shall refund or credit monies paid by Buyer for such non-conforming Products and Services. Warranty repair, replacement, or re-performance by Seller will not extend or renew the applicable warranty period. Buyer shall obtain Seller’s agreement on the specifications of any tests it plans to conduct to determine whether a non-conformance exists.

5.4. The warranties and remedies set forth herein are expressly conditioned upon (a) proper storage, installation, use, operation, and maintenance of Products; (b) Buyer’s keeping complete, accurate records of operation and maintenance during the warranty period and providing Seller access to those records; and (c) modification or repair of Products or Services only as authorized by Seller in writing. Failure to meet any such condition renders the warranty null and void. Seller is not responsible for normal wear and tear.

5.5. This Article 5 provides the exclusive remedies for all claims based on a failure of or defect in Products or Services, regardless of when such failure or defect arises, and whether a claim, however described, is based on contract, warranty, indemnity, tort/extra-contractual liability (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. The warranties provided in this Article 5 are exclusive and are in lieu of all other warranties, conditions and guarantees, whether written, oral, implied or statutory. NO IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTY, OR WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE APPLIES.

Receiving Party agrees: (a) to use the Confidential Information only in connection with the Contract and associated Products and Services; (b) to take reasonable measures to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties; and (c) not to disclose the Confidential Information to a competitor or any party affiliated with a competitor of Disclosing Party. The reasonable measures that Receiving Party shall take to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information include the same security measures and degree of care that Receiving Party applies to its own confidential information, which Receiving Party warrants as providing adequate protection from unauthorized disclosure, copying or use.

6.3. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in 6.2, (a) Seller may disclose certain Confidential Information to its representatives and affiliates in connection with performance of the Contract; (b) a Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its auditors; (c) Buyer may disclose certain Confidential Information to lenders as necessary for Buyer to secure or retain financing needed to perform its obligations under the Contract; and (d) a Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to any other third party with the prior written permission of Disclosing Party, and in each case, only so long as the Receiving Party obtains a non-disclosure commitment from any such auditors, lenders or other permitted third party that prohibits disclosure of the Confidential Information and provided further that the Receiving Party remains responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. Receiving Party shall upon request return to Disclosing Party or destroy all copies of Confidential Information except to the extent that a specific provision of the Contract entitles Receiving Party to retain an item of Confidential Information. Seller may also retain one archive copy of Buyer’s Confidential Information.

6.4. The obligations under this Article 6 will not apply to any portion of the Confidential Information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Receiving Party, its representatives or its affiliates; (b) is or becomes available to Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Disclosing Party when the source is not, to the best of Receiving Party’s knowledge, subject to a confidentiality obligation to Disclosing Party; (c) is independently developed by Receiving Party, its representatives or affiliates, without reference to or use of the Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or court order provided that the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in advance of such disclosure and reasonably cooperates in attempts to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

6.5. Each Disclosing Party warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information that it discloses. Neither Buyer nor Seller will be permitted to make any public announcement about the Contract without prior written approval of the other party. As to any individual item of Confidential Information, the restrictions under this Article 6 shall expire five years after the date of disclosure, except with respect to information designated as a trade secret of the Disclosing Party, in which case the obligation will not expire unless and until such Confidential Information becomes part of the public domain or subject to an exception as set forth in section 6.4, through no act or omission of the Receiving Party. Nothing in this section is intended or will be construed to supersede any separate confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement signed by the parties.

6.6. In the event Buyer and Seller have entered into a separate confidentiality agreement or mutual non-disclosure agreement, the provisions of this Section 6, Confidentiality, shall supersede that agreement as relates to this Contract.

  1. Intellectual Property

  1. Indemnity

Each of Buyer and Seller (as an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify the other party (as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against claims brought by a third party because of personal injury or damage to the third party’s tangible property, to the extent caused by gross negligent or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party in connection with this Contract.

If an excusable event occurs, the schedule for Seller’s performance will be extended by the amount of time lost by reason of the event plus such additional time as may be needed to overcome the effect of the event.
