8.3                              CLIENT warrants that:

 

(a)                       it has authority to supply (and to authorise ARRAN to use in the manner contemplated by this Agreement) all specifications, instructions or information furnished by it to ARRAN and that any work undertaken on the basis of them or the sale of goods produced on the basis of such work shall not infringe the rights of any Third Party.

 

(b)                       it will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations.

 

8.4                              CLIENT shall have the right to reject Product by notifying ARRAN in writing of any claim that any Product is damaged or defective or that any Product does not comply with the Specification: (i) in the case of a defect that is apparent upon normal visual inspection, within [**] of receipt of such Product by CLIENT; or, (ii) in the case of latent defects or non-conformities that are not reasonably discoverable by visual inspection or through review of the manufacturing documentation provided by ARRAN, by notifying ARRAN of the defect or non-conformity after such period (within [**] after CLIENT becomes aware of such defect or non-conformity). In the event of any notification and rejection pursuant to the preceding sentence, ARRAN shall (subject to the supply and availability of all Raw Materials to the extent that the Raw Materials cannot be reworked or re-used and provided that CLIENT demonstrates that the Product has been shipped, stored and/or handled by the CLIENT or any Third Party in accordance with the Specification and unless the cause of the notified problem has occurred post-delivery and through no fault of ARRAN’s, or the notified problem is caused by faults in the Specification or other instructions or information provided by the CLIENT), replace the Defective Product within [**] (or such other period which may be agreed between the Parties), at no extra cost to the CLIENT, and shall make arrangements with the CLIENT for the return or destruction of such Defective Product.  ARRAN shall be liable only for the cost of any additional Raw Materials (to the extent that the Raw Materials cannot be reworked or re-used) required for ARRAN to replace the Defective Product.

8.5                              Should the Product be rejected pursuant to Section 8.4 above, and should ARRAN (or CLIENT, if applicable) within [**], of notice of such rejection, fail to agree that such rejection was reasonable, the Parties shall mutually agree upon a Third Party to test samples of such Product and to review records and test data and other relevant information developed by both Parties relating thereto to ascertain whether the particular batch of Product adheres to the requirements set forth in the Purchase Order.  The findings of such Third Party shall be binding on both Parties. If the Product is found not to be Defective Product, the  CLIENT shall pay the costs of such tests and shall be deemed to have accepted the applicable Product and the CLIENT shall pay to ARRAN the invoice price for the Product.  If the Product is found to be Defective Product, ARRAN shall pay the costs of such tests and shall provide replacement Product in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4.
