Purchase orders for Product shall state the ordered quantity in increments of full batches of Product. Each purchase order will be confirmatory of, and supplemental to, the Binding Forecast rather than creating a new legal obligation. For clarity, each purchase order placed by Customer will be deemed as accepted by Hovione to the extent that it is consistent with the Binding Forecast. Hovione may, in writing, object within [*] after submission by Customer of any purchase order that such purchase order is inconsistent with the Binding Forecast if such purchase order contains a more than [*] variance from the most recently submitted Binding Forecast.

Customer will have [*] from delivery (the “Inspection Period”) to inspect and test the Product in accordance with Customer’s standard operating procedures and using the testing methods identified in the Specifications. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period for a shipment of Product, Customer will provide prompt written notice to Hovione if any such Product does not comply with [*].

The Referee Lab will use the test methods contained in the applicable Specifications. The determination of conformance by the Referee Lab with respect to all or part of such Product will be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Referee Lab incurred in making such determination will be paid by the Party against whom the determination is made. 5.7 Remedies.
