Defective Products.

 

4.1.1

Following collection of a shipment of a Product from the Supplier, the Purchaser or its designated agent shall, within forty five (45) calendar days, carry out an inspection (as defined below) of such Product to ensure that the Product does not have any defects and is accompanied by an associated Certificate of Analysis, and if such Product shows any defects shall promptly notify rejection of the Products to the Supplier in writing along with any possible documentary evidence.  If the Purchaser does not notify Supplier of rejection of such Products within such forty five (45) calendar days, such Products shall be deemed not to have defects.

 

4.1.2

For the purposes of this Supply Agreement, “inspection” shall mean:

 

(a)

comparing the applicable Purchase Order against the documentation accompanying the Products collected to verify that the delivery date, identity, quantity and exterior shipment labelling comply with the order;

 

(b)

verifying that the Certificate of Analysis for the relevant Products collected states that the Product conforms in all material respects to the applicable Specifications; and

 

(c)

visually inspecting the exterior of the Products collected to verify that the Products collected appear to be in good condition.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplier shall only be liable for any defect to the Product which occurred prior to the collection of the Product by the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall be liable for any defect which occurred after the collection of the Product by the Purchaser.

 

4.1.3

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following delivery of the Product to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be entitled to promptly notify rejection of the Products to the Supplier in writing in the event that the Purchaser discovers any latent defect in a Product which renders the relevant Product unusable or unsaleable, if such defect could not reasonably have been discovered by inspection. In the event that such a latent defect is discovered, the Purchaser shall notify the Supplier in writing of such defect and rejection of the relevant Products, along with a comprehensive report setting out all relevant details of the latent defect and any investigations undertaken by the Purchaser or any other person in respect of such latent defect. For the purposes of this Section 4.1.3, a latent defect shall be any

failure to meet the Specifications that exists at the time of delivery and only manifests itself at a later date. This Section 4.1.3 shall not apply to any Product that has been modified and/or reprocessed by the Purchaser, any Affiliate of the Purchaser or any Third Party.

 

4.1.4

Within ten (10) calendar days of receipt by the Supplier of a notice of rejection from the Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.3 the Supplier shall indicate in writing to the Purchaser whether the Supplier is issuing a return authorisation or not.  In the event that a return authorisation is so issued the Purchaser shall either destroy or return to the Supplier as stated in the return authorisation (in either case at the Supplier’s expense) the quantities of the Product in question and the Supplier shall replace such quantities within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days.  If payment in respect of such quantities of the Product is outstanding, it shall be postponed until such replacement quantities of the Product are received and accepted by the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 4.

 

4.1.5

After receipt of any rejection notice from the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.3, if the Supplier does not issue a return authorisation under Section 4.1.4, and if the relevant defect relates to non-compliance with the Specification, the Supplier shall analyse a retained sample of any batch of the Product rejected by the Purchaser for non-conformity with the Specifications within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such notice, and present its findings with respect to such quantity of the Product to the Purchaser.  If such tests confirm non-conformity with the Specification, the Supplier shall promptly supply to the Purchaser (at the Supplier’s cost and expense) a conforming batch in the same quantity as the rejected batch.  If the Parties cannot agree on whether the batch of Product in question conforms to the Specifications, an independent qualified laboratory reasonably acceptable to both Parties, and at a cost to be borne by the Party found to be in error, shall analyse both the Purchaser’s and the Supplier’s samples of the Product from the batch in question, and the definitive results of such laboratory shall be final and binding on the Parties.  If the batch of the Product in question is determined to be non-conforming, such non-conforming batch shall be held for the Supplier’s disposal, or shall be returned to the Supplier, in each case at the Supplier’s expense, as directed by the Supplier no later than fifteen (15) calendar days following such determination.  The Supplier shall replace each non-conforming batch of the Product, or the non-conforming portion thereof, with conforming Product within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days.  If the batch of the Product in question is determined to be conforming and provided that the Certificate of Analysis did not indicate it to be non-conforming, such batch of the Product shall remain with or be returned to the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s cost and expense.
