TERMS

 

1. Precedence: The terms of this Agreement will override any conflicting terms and conditions that may be set forth in or on a purchase order.

 

2. Relationship of the Parties: Supplier is an independent contractor and is not, and will not represent itself as being, an agent, representative or joint venture partner of Company. Supplier and its employees and agents are neither employees of Company for any purpose nor eligible for participation in any benefit plan available to employees of Company. Supplier may not enter into any contract or commitment for Company, and Supplier will be solely responsible for making all payments to and for its employees and agents.

 

3. Subcontractors and Supplier Affiliates: To the extent that Supplier uses a subcontractor, or a Supplier Affiliate enters into an Order, Supplier will be responsible for the subcontractor’s or the Supplier Affiliate’s compliance with Supplier’s warranties, representations, obligations and liabilities. Supplier agrees to be responsible to Company for the subcontractor’s or the Supplier Affiliate’s actions and inactions to the same extent as if such actions or inactions were that of Supplier.

 

4. Deliverables, Specifications and Schedule: Supplier will provide every Deliverable required under each Order in compliance with any specifications, instructions, performance criteria, and schedule set forth in such Order. Supplier will be responsible for providing all required supervision, labor, materials, tools, and equipment. Time is of the essence.

 

5. Risk of Loss; Title: Supplier will bear the risk of loss of each Deliverable until its receipt and acceptance by Supplier. Title to a Deliverable will pass to Company upon the earlier of:

 

i. receipt and acceptance of the Deliverable; or

 

ii. payment for the Deliverable.

 

6. Acceptance: Acceptance of a Deliverable is subject to a reasonable inspection and testing by Company. If a Deliverable does not comply with the requirements of this Agreement or the applicable Order, without limiting any other rights Company may require Supplier at its risk and expense to:

 

i. promptly repair, replace or reperform the rejected Deliverable; or

 

ii. refund the price of the rejected Deliverable. Company’s acceptance of a Deliverable does not release Supplier of its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Order.

 

7. Prices: The compensation to be paid to Supplier for the Deliverables will be set forth in each Order. Unless expressly agreed to in an Order, prices are fixed and will not be indexed, updated or adjusted for variations in costs of any kind and include, and Supplier will be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred or that could be assessed by Supplier in providing the Deliverables, including VAT and other taxes, permitting, obtaining rights from third parties, and shipping. Unless expressly agreed to in an Order, all reimbursable expenses must be approved in advance by Company in writing, must comply with Company’s expense policies (which will be made available upon request) and will be reimbursed at net cost without any markup. For all Deliverables billed based on time, Supplier will maintain a record of all time spent by each individual along with a description of the work performed during that time.

 

 

8. Taxes: Each party will bear the cost of its own direct and indirect tax liability under applicable law. Company will be entitled to withhold tax from all payments made to Supplier if and to the extent that such withholding is required by applicable law. Supplier will provide Company with such forms or other documentation as reasonably requested by Company to reduce or eliminate such taxes or to enable Company to comply with its legal obligations relating to such taxes.

 

9. Invoices and Payment: Unless expressly agreed to in an Order, Supplier will not invoice for any Deliverable until the Deliverable has been completed and provided to Company. Company will have no obligation to pay for any item until a correct invoice is received at Company’s “bill to” address identified in this Agreement, or, if no “bill to” address is identified then at Company’s principal place of business. Payment terms commence upon receipt of a correct invoice. Supplier will be paid within 60 days, or within 120 days if Supplier is to be paid US$150,000 (or the equivalent in other currency) or more in any 12 month period during the Term, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, or any lesser period required by law, after receipt by Company of a correct invoice. Payment will be made in the currency specified in this Agreement. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, either party reserves the right at any time to set-off any amount owed by the other party against any amount owed to the other party. Payment does not release Supplier of any contractual or legal obligation or liability, nor will it limit Company’s right of inspection, acceptance, set-off or any other right.

 

10. Warranties: Supplier represents and warrants that:

 

i. upon completion and delivery, and for six (6) months thereafter, the Deliverables will be free of defects and conform with any specifications, instructions, performance criteria, and schedule set forth in such Order, as well as the requirements of this Agreement;
