1.Materials. The use and procurement of all materials must be made by Supplier as described in the Bill of Materials (“BOM”) provided and/or authorized by Company. If a specific supplier of any material is indicated in the BOM, Supplier must always obtain the material from stated supplier(s). If a stated supplier is unable to supply material of sufficient quality or quantity, Supplier will contact Company for directions on how to proceed. Before Supplier uses an alternate material supplier, prior authorization will be obtained in writing from Company. Company shall have the discretion to approve specific suppliers. If Supplier is responsible for determining a suitable source of a material and procuring it from this source, which is only allowed if specified in the BOM, the source of this material must be communicated to Company and documented by Supplier.

 

2.Inspection and Testing of Materials. Supplier will use material inspection plans and testing procedures approved by Company in its discretion. Upon receipt, all containers of materials will be inspected by Supplier for external condition, intact authentic seals and compliance of the type and number of containers/labeling with the delivery documents.

If specified in the Master Product Specification Sheets (“MPSS”), some starting materials may be accepted and released by Supplier utilizing the Certificate of Analysis (“CofA”) with abbreviated or no additional testing.

 

Company shall have the right to inspect finished Beverages and designate the facility to test the Beverages. If Supplier performs some or all the inspection and testing, Supplier will provide to Company a CofA and any other associated inspection and testing documentation for each batch (lot) of Beverages manufactured. Company shall have fourteen (14) days from the date of receipt to inspect the finished Beverages and to provide written notice to Supplier in the event of a serious defect, which shall include the shipment of the wrong Beverages, rancidity, failure to comply with the Quality Agreement or a similar defect. Company shall not be obligated to pay Supplier for defective Beverages.

For each batch of Beverages manufactured for Company, Supplier will prepare complete manufacturing and bulk packaging batch documentation. This complete documentation will be retained by Supplier in accordance with appropriate document retention schedules provided by Company and readily accessible for review and inspection by Company or regulatory authorities. Any waste product or bulk labeling materials should be destroyed in a secure and legal manner, preventing unauthorized use or environmental problems.

 

6.Change Control. Supplier will utilize a documented system of procedures for the control of changes to raw materials, packaging materials, suppliers, equipment, manufacturing methods, product specifications, material specifications, material requirements, sampling, test methods, and release requirements. Company shall have the right to approve, in its discretion, any significant changes prior to implementation by Supplier.

7.Notification and Approval of Deviations. When there is a significant deviation from stated procedures or stated specifications, Supplier must notify Company within 2 working days from time of discovery. A significant deviation is defined as any Out-Of-Specification (“OOS”) result and/or any manufacturing, bulk packaging, bulk labeling, or testing deviation that may affect the quality, safety, or efficacy of the Beverages. Reprocessing will be considered a significant deviation. All deviations will be investigated and fully documented by Supplier. This documentation will be retained as part of the batch documentation for the batch (lot) affected. When deemed necessary, Company reserves the right to request additional or more in-depth investigation of the deviation by Supplier. In all cases when a significant deviation occurs on a batch, Company will have the final review and decision-making responsibility as to the impact of the deviations on the Beverages, which will include the disposition of the affected batches (lots).

 

8.Stability Activities. Company will have the right to set forth commercially reasonable standards and requirements for stability testing, data interpretation, reporting, and updating stability information to regulatory documents for the subject Beverages. Company is responsible for providing stability testing for hemp-derived ingredients at their cost. Supplier will provide stability testing documentation on other ingredients.

 

9.Process Qualification and Process Validation of the Beverages. The process, manufacturing, and control procedures (including cleaning procedures where applicable) must be validated and qualified by Supplier in the facility Supplier intends to utilize to manufacture Beverages, using the equipment Supplier intends to utilize and with the personnel Supplier intends to employ to make Beverages.

 

The parties will work together to agree on a process qualification/process validation protocol document (“PQ/PV Protocol”). Supplier will thereafter insure compliance with the PQ/PV Protocol. Supplier will promptly communicate any problems during the execution of the PQ/PV Protocol to Company and bring its practices into compliance with the PQ/PV Protocol. All the related validation/qualification documents will be assembled in a Validation Summary Report and provided to Company for review and approval.

11.Complaints Beverages. Company will typically receive, communicate with the customers and close all complaints related to the referenced Beverages. Supplier will provide any complaint information that it receives from customers in the marketplace or regulatory authorities to Company within 7 days unless the complaint involves a safety issue like potential tampering or an adverse medical event, in which case it will be communicated immediately to Company. Upon the request by Company, Supplier will investigate the complaints as required and provide a written report on the results of the investigation to Company within 30 days, or sooner if required by Company. Company reserves the right to delegate any or all the parts of the complaint handling process Company normally handles (i.e., receipt, communication with the customer and closure of complaints) to Supplier on a product-by-product basis.

 

12.Recall of the Marketed Beverages. If a recall, withdrawal, or field correction of the subject Beverages is required because the product violates applicable laws, regulations, agreed upon specifications, or is deemed unacceptable for some other reason, whether such action is requested by any governmental agency, the initiating party shall notify the head of Quality Assurance of the other party. In the process of a recall, withdrawal, or field correction, the parties shall fully cooperate in notifying customers and conducting the necessary activities. If a recall is initiated due to a defect arising from a failure attributable to negligence or oversight by Supplier, then Supplier will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company from any and all costs, expenses, damages or liabilities of any kind arising out of, or associated with, the recall. If the recall is due to a hemp-derived ingredient issue, the Company will bear the responsibility of the recall.

 

13.Audits and Inspections of Facilities and Beverages. Supplier will notify Company of any inspections or actions by regulatory agencies or other enforcement bodies, which could potentially impact Company’ Beverages. Supplier will provide Company with the results of all such regulatory audits in within 7 days. Company reserves the right to audit Supplier’ facilities and systems as they relate to the manufacture and control of Beverages. These audits may be performed on a periodic basis at any reasonable time with a five-day prior notice. The right to audit will also cover any approved subcontractors (i.e., a contract laboratory). Company also reserves the right to be present at Supplier during the manufacture of Beverages and/or during the inspection of Beverages by any regulatory agencies.
