Acceptance.

The Purchase Order is an offer by Buyer to purchase the Goods and/or Services (as applicable) from Supplier in accordance with and subject to the terms herein and therein.

Furthermore, Buyer will not be bound by, any "disclaimers" or "click to approve" terms or conditions now or hereafter contained in any website used by Buyer in connection with the Goods and/or Services (as applicable) or the Purchase Order.

Supplier bears all risk of loss or damage to the Goods until delivery of the Goods to the Delivery Location.
Packaging.

All Goods covered by the Purchase Order (if any) must be packed for shipment according to Buyer's instructions or, if there are no instructions, in a manner sufficient to ensure that the Goods are delivered in undamaged condition. Supplier must provide Buyer prior written notice if it requires Buyer to return any packaging materials. Any return of such packaging materials will be made at Supplier's expense.
Quantity.

The specific quantity of Goods ordered (if any) must be delivered in full and not be changed without Buyer's written consent. If Supplier delivers more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered, Buyer may reject all or any of the Goods. Any such rejected Goods will be returned to Supplier at Supplier's risk and expense.

Supplier warrants that the Prices for the Goods and/or Services (as applicable) to be provided are not less favorable than those currently extended to any other customer for the same or similar goods and services.

In addition, Buyer expects Supplier to adopt its own policy regarding its values and guidelines for action and behavior with respect to people and the environment, and that such policy will be consistent with Buyer's Values.

Any breach of the obligations in this Section will constitute grounds for immediate termination of the Purchase Order for cause by Buyer with notice to Supplier and no compensation, reimbursement or other payment will be due to Supplier. Without limiting Buyer’s aforementioned termination rights, in the event Buyer has a good faith belief that Supplier is not performing its obligations in compliance with Buyer’s Values, Social Responsibility Laws or complying with the policies and controls in place to reasonably ensure compliance with its obligations hereunder, Buyer may (but shall not be obligated to) provide Supplier with written notice of such concerns with reasonable specificity to enable Supplier to conduct an investigation.

In the event that Supplier is unable to secure such rights of use or to secure an equivalent item as a substitute for Buyer or its customers, Supplier will indemnify the Buyer Indemnities for any and all Losses sustained by reason of such injunction.
Limitation of Liability.

BUYER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO SUPPLIER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) RESULTING FROM BUYER'S PERFORMANCE OR ANY FAILURE TO PERFORM HEREUNDER INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR BENEFITS, EVEN IF BUYER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Inspection; Rejection.

All Goods and Services are subject to Buyer's right of inspection and rejection on or after the Delivery Date.

Confidential Information will include the confidential information of any third party who has given Buyer the right to use such confidential information subject to a non-disclosure agreement between Buyer and such third party.

Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) Supplier lawfully knew without restriction on disclosure before Buyer disclosed it to Supplier, (ii) is now or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or failure to act of Supplier, (iii) Supplier developed independently without use of Confidential Information, as evidenced by appropriate documentation, or (iv) is hereafter lawfully furnished to Supplier by a third party as a matter of right and without restriction on disclosure. In addition, Supplier may disclose Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a government agency or Law so long as Supplier provides prompt notice to Buyer of such requirement prior to disclosure.

Supplier agrees not to copy, alter or directly or indirectly disclose any Confidential Information. Additionally, Supplier agrees to limit its intentional distribution of Confidential Information to those who have a need to know, and to take steps to ensure that the dissemination is so limited, including the execution by Supplier of nondisclosure agreements with provisions substantially similar to those set forth herein.

In no event will Supplier use less than the degree of care and means that it uses to protect its own information of like kind, but in any event not less than reasonable care to prevent the unauthorized use of Confidential Information.

Supplier further agrees not to use Confidential Information except in the course of performing hereunder and will not use Confidential Information for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third party. The mingling of Confidential Information with information of Supplier will not affect the confidential nature or ownership of the same as stated hereunder. Supplier agrees not to design or manufacture any products which incorporate Confidential Information.

The terms of this Section are in addition to, and will complement and supplement any other agreement between the parties regarding confidentiality or security of information, including, without limitation, any applicable CDA.

Standard goods manufactured by Supplier and sold to Buyer without having been designed, customized or modified for Buyer do not constitute Work Product and, as between the parties, all rights with respect thereto will remain the sole and exclusive property of Supplier.

The foregoing notwithstanding, Supplier hereby grants to Buyer a non-exclusive, royalty-free worldwide license to use such of Supplier's intellectual property, if any, as is required to give Buyer full benefit of any Goods that incorporate such Supplier intellectual property.
