- 10. Waiver: No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise hereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights, powers, elections and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and in addition to those which the parties have at law or in equity.

If Buyer elects to retain any such Goods, the date on which payment therefor is due shall not be advanced by reason of such early shipment. If any Goods delivered do not conform to all terms of this Agreement, Buyer may reject such Goods or the entire lot received. Buyer shall obtain Seller’s prior written consent to partial shipments. If this Agreement requires or authorizes deliveries of Goods in separate lots, Buyer, if it rejects or cancels one or more separate lots as aforesaid, may also, at its sole election, cancel any undelivered lots and purchase elsewhere and charge Seller with any resulting losses and expenses incurred, including increased purchase price. Buyer shall have the right to return all freight-damaged Goods to Seller at Seller’s expense and receive full credit therefor. If at any time Seller has reason to believe that deliveries will not be made as scheduled, Seller shall promptly give written notice to Buyer setting forth the cause and length of the anticipated delay. Seller shall take all commercially reasonable steps, at Seller’s sole expense, to expedite delivery. In the event of any late delivery, Buyer may, at its option, cancel this Agreement in whole or in part, and upon Buyer’s request Seller shall reimburse Buyer promptly for any losses, expenses and costs Buyer sustains or incurs on account of the failure of Seller to deliver the Goods as required in this Agreement.
- 14.

The price includes all applicable taxes and such taxes shall be itemized on each invoice Seller submits to Buyer.
- 15. Time is of the Essence; Force Majeure: Time is of the essence with respect to any delivery or performance dates provided for in this Agreement. Neither party, however, shall be liable for delay caused by an occurrence beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, strikes, accidents, acts of God, and delays of common carriers; provided that the affected party shall promptly give the other party notice of any such event and the anticipated delay. The party affected by the event shall use commercially reasonable efforts to find alternative means to perform and to minimize the effects of the delay. However, in the event of any delay due to such a force majeure event that extends beyond 10 days, Buyer shall have the right to terminate all or any portion of this Agreement without further liability for the terminated portion. Any extension of time granted to Seller pursuant hereto shall be Seller’s exclusive remedy for any claim resulting from a delay caused by a force majeure event.

Seller agrees, at Buyer’s option and without prejudice to any other rights Buyer may have, to repair or replace any defective Goods at Seller’s sole expense or reimburse Buyer for its costs of repairing any defective Goods or its costs of replacing defective Goods or its costs incurred because of any delays caused by either repairing or replacing defective Goods. Such warranties shall survive inspection, testing and acceptance. Payment for Goods specified herein shall not constitute an acceptance thereof, but all Goods shall be received subject to Buyer’s inspection and rejection. Defective Goods or Goods not in accordance with Buyer’s specifications, grade or quality shall be held for Buyer’s instructions at Seller’s risk. Buyer’s inspection, acceptance or retention of all or any part of the Goods shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Buyer’s right to cancel or to return all or any portion of the Goods because of failure to conform to this warranty or otherwise to this Agreement, or by reason of defects, latent or patent, to claim a breach of warranty; or to make any claim for damages, including manufacturing costs and cost and expenses of replacing the Goods. The warranty period provided for will apply to replacement or repaired Goods. If any Good is the subject of any claim or allegation of intellectual property infringement, then Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Buyer, provide a commercially reasonable alternative, including procuring for Buyer and Buyer’s customers the right to continue using the Goods, modifying such Goods so that they are no longer infringing but still of the grade, quality and functionality required by Buyer, or replacing such Goods with non-infringing Goods that meet the grade, quality and functionality required by Buyer.
- 17. Price: If no price is specified herein, charges shall not exceed the lowest of Seller’s standard price or the price previously quoted or charged to Buyer for goods of like kind and quality.

If Buyer, in good faith, disputes all or any portion of an invoice, then Buyer shall pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and shall notify Seller of the amount disputed along with reasonable detail as to the basis for the dispute. The parties shall then attempt to resolve the dispute as soon as possible with representatives authorized to settle such dispute. Upon resolution of the dispute, Buyer shall pay the agreed upon amount. Seller shall maintain complete and accurate records of and supporting documentation for all Goods and payments received therefor or are otherwise related to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement (“Seller Records”). Seller shall provide to Buyer (and internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators, customers and other representatives that Buyer may designate from time to time) access at reasonable hours to Seller’s personnel, facilities and to Seller Records and other pertinent information, all to the extent relevant to Seller’s obligation under this Agreement. Such access shall be provided for the purpose of performing audits and inspections of Seller to verify the accuracy of the compensation and expenses paid under this Agreement and the accuracy and completeness of Seller’s invoices. Seller shall provide any assistance reasonably requested by Buyer or its designee in conducting any such audits.

Upon termination of this Agreement, Seller shall dispose of such dies, jigs, tools and patterns as directed by Buyer.

If Seller is not the manufacturer of the Goods, or parts or materials therein, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that the Goods supplied under this Agreement are made by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) and meet the applicable manufacturer data sheet or industry standard.
