Zip Pak garantiza además que durante un periodo de 6 meses a partir de la fecha de entrega al transportista común (el “Periodo de garantía”), bajo el uso normal y dados la instalación y el mantenimiento adecuados según lo determine Zip Pak, los productos: (a) cumplirán las especificaciones acordadas conjuntamente u otras descripciones; y (b) estarán libres de defectos sustanciales en materiales y mano de obra.

En el caso de un incumplimiento de las garantías establecidas más arriba (las “Garantías”), Zip Pak, a su exclusivo criterio y a su exclusiva responsabilidad, y como resolución única para el Comprador, reparará, reemplazará o acreditará la cuenta del Comprador por cualquier Producto que falle para cumplir la Garantía, siempre y cuando (i) durante el Periodo de garantía se notifique de inmediato por escrito a Zip Pak el descubrimiento de dicha falla con una explicación detallada de cualquier supuesta deficiencia; (ii) Zip Pak reciba una oportunidad razonable para investigar todos los reclamos; y (iii) el examen por parte de Zip Pak de tal Producto confirme que las supuestas deficiencias y las deficiencias no fueron producidas por accidentes, uso indebido, negligencia, desgaste normal, instalación inadecuada, alteración o reparación no autorizadas, o pruebas indebidas.

10. Limitación de responsabilidad y de recursos. ZIP PAK NO TENDRÁ RESPONSABILIDAD Y EL COMPRADOR RENUNCIA A CUALQUIER RECLAMO CONTRA ZIP PAK POR DAÑOS INDIRECTOS, INCIDENTALES, ESPECIALES, PUNITIVOS O EMERGENTES, TIEMPO DE INACTIVIDAD, LUCRO CESANTE O PÉRDIDAS COMERCIALES, SE BASEN O NO EN LA NEGLIGENCIA DE ZIP PAK O EN LA INFRACCIÓN DE LA GARANTÍA, O RESPONSABILIDAD ESTRICTA EXTRACONTRACTUAL O CUALQUIER OTRO CURSO DE ACCIÓN. EN NINGÚN CASO LA RESPONSABILIDAD DE ZIP PAK EN RELACIÓN CON EL CONTRATO O CON LA VENTA DE LOS PRODUCTOS O SERVICIOS DE ZIP PAK SUPERARÁ EL PRECIO DE COMPRA DE LOS PRODUCTOS O SERVICIOS ESPECÍFICOS SOBRE LOS CUALES SE LLEVA A CABO EL RECLAMO.

El Comprador debe asegurar los Productos en consignación a su costo y cargo por importes al menos iguales al valor de reemplazo.

El Comprador no usará en sus negocios en ningún momento, ni durante ni después de la finalización del Contrato, ninguna otra marca comercial igual ni similar a las Marcas comerciales de modo tal que probablemente haya engaño o confusión en relación con las Marcas comerciales.

El Comprador mantendrá la confidencialidad de toda la información proporcionada o puesta a disponibilidad del Comprador por parte de Zip Pak en relación con el asunto del presente.

29. Divisibilidad. Si cualquier disposición del presente se determina ilegal o no aplicable, el resto de las disposiciones del presente continuarán en pleno efecto.

30. Integración y modificación. El Contrato constituye el acuerdo completo entre Zip Pak y el Comprador en relación con los Productos y Servicios que el Contrato abarca, y rige sobre todos los demás acuerdos, entendimientos, afirmaciones y cotizaciones en relación con él. Ninguna modificación del presente tendrá ningún efecto a no ser que sea por escrito y esté firmada por la parte que se verá obligada legalmente por ella.

31. Productos de seguridad para los niños y productos disuasivos para los niños. Todas las referencias por parte de Zip Pak a “Seguridad para los niños” se refieren exclusivamente a que los Productos correspondientes puedan ser parte de envases que puedan satisfacer los requisitos de la Ley de Envases para la Prevención de las Intoxicaciones de los EE. UU. (U.S. Poison Prevention Packaging Act) y normativas relacionadas (16 CFR 1700) (los “Requisitos de PPPA”). Todas las referencias por parte de Zip Pak a “Disuasivo para los niños” (o frases similares) generalmente se refieren a envases destinados a disuadir a los niños más pequeños a que no los abran; sin embargo, dichos Productos no se sometieron a ninguna prueba formal de seguridad para los niños o de disuasión para los niños. Los Productos, como componentes de envasado, no satisfacen los Requisitos de PPPA ni ningún otro requisito o norma de envasado por su cuenta, y Zip Pak rechaza y revoca explícitamente cualquier declaración contraria. Determinados Productos se incluyeron en envases que satisfacen los Requisitos de PPPA, pero ninguna declaración por parte de Zip Pak es garantía de que los envases específicos que contengan Productos satisfarán los Requisitos de PPPA o cualquier otra ley, regla, norma, estándar o requisito. Mediante el presente, el comprador libera y mantiene indemne a Zip Pak y a sus filiales contra todo reclamo que surja o se relacione con los envases que contienen Productos que no son suficientemente resistentes o disuasivos. Todos los parámetros, las condiciones y las suposiciones de las pruebas que se incluyan en cualquier prueba de laboratorio, análisis de terceros o certificación son integrales a sus resultados y Zip Pak no ofrece ninguna garantía de que dichos resultados serán repetibles o aplicables en situaciones distintas. El Comprador no declarará de ninguna manera que cualquier envase, incluidos los Productos disuasivos para los niños, son “de seguridad para los niños” (ni expresiones similares).

If Supreme Plastics is subsequently required to pay any Fees, Purchaser shall fully defend and indemnify Supreme Plastics therefor.

Any variation in quantities shipped over or under those ordered (not to exceed 10%) will constitute compliance with Purchaser’s order, and the stated price per item will continue to apply.

7. Delivery. Supreme Plastics anticipates use of common carriers for shipment of Products. The carrier, and not Supreme Plastics, will bill for freight rates and other shipping charges. Payments for such charges shall be paid by Purchaser directly to the carrier. All Products will be shipped F.O.B. Supreme Plastics’ facility.

confirms the alleged deficiencies and that the deficiencies were not caused by accident, misuse, neglect, normal wear and tear, improper installation, unauthorized alteration or repair or improper testing.

10. Limitation of Liability and Remedies. SUPREME PLASTICS WILL NOT BE LIABLE, AND PURCHASER WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST SUPREME PLASTICS, FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, DOWN TIME, LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSSES, WHETHER OR NOT BASED UPON SUPREME PLASTICS’ NEGLIGENCE OR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION. IN NO EVENT WILL SUPREME PLASTICS’ LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR SALE OF SUPREME PLASTICS’ PRODUCTS OR SERVICES EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE SPECIFIC PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AS TO WHICH THE CLAIM IS MADE.

11. Product Use. Purchaser is solely responsible for determining if a Product is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for Purchaser’s method of application. Accordingly, and due to the nature and manner of use of Supreme Plastics’ Products, Supreme Plastics is not responsible for the results or consequences of use, misuse or application of its Products. All physical properties, statements and recommendations are either based on the tests or experience that Supreme Plastics believes to be reliable, but they are not guaranteed.

12. Tooling/Molds/Dies. All material, equipment, facilities and special tooling (including tools, jigs, dies, fixtures, molds, patterns, special taps, special gauges, special test equipment and manufacturing aids and replacements thereof) used in the manufacture of the Products will remain the property of Supreme Plastics. Any material, tooling or equipment furnished to Supreme Plastics by Purchaser will remain the property of Purchaser with title to and right of possession remaining in Purchaser.

14. Ownership of Intellectual Property. All drawings, know-how, designs, specifications, inventions, devices, developments, processes, copyrights and other information or intellectual property disclosed or otherwise provided to Purchaser by Supreme Plastics and all rights therein (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) will remain the property of Supreme Plastics and will be kept confidential by Purchaser in accordance with these Terms. Purchaser has no claim to, nor ownership interest in, any Intellectual Property, and such information, in whatever form and any copies thereof, shall be promptly returned to Supreme Plastics upon request from Supreme Plastics. Purchaser acknowledges that no license or rights of any sort are granted to Purchaser hereunder in respect of any Intellectual Property, other than the limited right to use Supreme Plastics’ Products or receive the Services purchased from Supreme Plastics.

15. Use of Trademarks and Trade Names. Purchaser shall not use, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, Supreme Plastics’ name, or any other trademark or trade name that is now or may hereafter be owned by Supreme Plastics (collectively the “Trademarks”), as part of Purchaser’s corporate or business name, or in any way in connection with Purchaser’s business, except in a manner and to the extent authorized herein or otherwise approved by Supreme Plastics in writing. Purchaser hereby acknowledges Supreme Plastics’ ownership of the Trademarks and the goodwill associated therewith. Purchaser shall not infringe upon, harm or contest the validity of any Trademarks. Purchaser shall be entitled to use the Trademarks only in connection with the promotion or sale of the Authorized Products pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Purchaser shall reproduce the Trademarks exactly as specified by Supreme Plastics. Purchaser shall not use the Trademarks in combination with any other trademarks or names. Purchaser agrees that it will not register or attempt to register any Trademark or any colorable imitation thereof (including any non-English language variation thereof), or use such Trademarks for any products or for any purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement. Purchaser shall not at any time during or after termination of the Agreement use in its business any other trademark that is similar to or in any way resembles the Trademarks so as to be likely to cause deception or confusion with the Trademarks. Purchaser shall provide reasonable cooperation to Supreme Plastics with respect to any efforts of Supreme Plastics to protect, defend or enforce its rights to the Trademarks. Should Purchaser cease being an authorized customer of Supreme Plastics for any reason, Purchaser shall immediately discontinue any formerly permitted use of Supreme Plastics’ name or the Trademarks.

16. Confidential Information. All information furnished or made available by Supreme Plastics to Purchaser in connection with the subject matter hereof shall be held in confidence by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees not to use (directly or indirectly), or disclose to others, such information without Supreme Plastics’ prior written consent. The obligations in this section will not apply to any information that: (a) at the time of disclosure was or thereafter becomes generally available to the public by publication or otherwise through no breach by Purchaser of any obligation herein; (b) Purchaser can show by written records was in Purchaser’s possession prior to disclosure by Supreme Plastics; or (c) is legally made available to Purchaser by or through a third party having no direct or indirect confidentiality obligation to Supreme Plastics with respect to such information.

18. Infringement and Indemnification. Except as set forth below, Supreme Plastics agrees to defend and indemnify Purchaser against any claims, costs, damages, liability and expenses resulting from actual patent, trademark or copyright infringement, misappropriation of confidential information, or violation of any other Intellectual Property right, domestic or foreign that may arise from the sale of Supreme Plastics’ proprietary Product to Purchaser as such pertains to the subject matter of the Agreement (each, a “Claim”); provided, however, (a) Purchaser supplies Supreme Plastics written notice of such Claim immediately after the Purchaser has notice of such Claim, (b) Purchaser cooperates with Supreme Plastics in the defense and settlement of such Claim; and (c) Purchaser allows Supreme Plastics the right to defend and settle such Claim at Supreme Plastics’ expense If a suit or claim results in any injunction or order that would prevent Supreme Plastics from supplying any part or Product falling under the Agreement, or if the result of such a suit or claim would, in the reasonable opinion of Supreme Plastics, otherwise cause Supreme Plastics to be unable to supply such parts or Products, Supreme Plastics may do one or more of the following: (i) secure an appropriate license to permit Supreme Plastics to continue supplying those parts or Products; (ii) modify the appropriate part or Product so that it becomes non-infringing; (iii) replace the appropriate part or Product with a non-infringing but practically equivalent part or Product; or (iv) if Supreme Plastics cannot reasonably accomplish the actions specified in subsections (i) – (iii), then in Supreme Plastics’ sole discretion, Supreme Plastics may discontinue selling the part or Product without any further liability to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supreme Plastics shall have no liability or duty to defend and indemnify Purchaser against any Claim relating to: (1) the use of any part or Product, (2) the combination of any part or Product with any other part or product not supplied by Supreme Plastics, or (3) any part or Product or process that is designed or specified by Purchaser.

19. Supreme Plastics Employees. Supreme Plastics sales and service employees do not have the training or authority to make legal representations or enter into any agreements or execute any Purchaser documents affecting legal responsibilities or waiving legal rights, including those regarding the transfer of intellectual property rights or related to privacy laws. Any such representations, agreements or documents will not be binding on Supreme Plastics or such Supreme Plastics employees.

20. Service Terms. The following terms and conditions apply to any on-site Services provided by Supreme Plastics:

A. Services will be provided at Supreme Plastics’ then current service rates.

B. Purchaser shall prepare the site for the Services.

C. Purchaser shall provide Supreme Plastics with advance notice of any rules, regulations, statutes and requirements applicable to the Services, including any required permits and licenses, that are applicable to Purchaser’s local jurisdiction.

D. Supreme Plastics may refuse, without any liability, to provide Services and to allow Supreme Plastics service personnel to suspend Services or vacate any site where, in Supreme Plastics’ opinion, performance of Services would pose a risk to the safety of any person. In such event, Purchaser is responsible for payment of any delay and/or travel time at Supreme Plastics’ regular service rates.

E. Purchaser is solely liable for all damages or injuries caused or contributed to by Purchaser that may occur on the site, except to the extent damages or injuries are directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Supreme Plastics service personnel.

F. Purchaser must provide at least 24 hours’ notice of cancellation of any Service order. If Purchaser
cancels with less than 24 hours’ notice, Purchaser is responsible for any costs incurred by Supreme Plastics caused by such cancellation.

21. Compliance. Purchaser agrees to comply with all federal, state, local and foreign rules, regulations, ordinances and laws applicable to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and Purchaser’s use of the Products and Services, including import/export laws, labor laws and anti-corruption laws.

22. Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in the Agreement or the course of dealing of the parties may be construed to constitute the parties hereto as partners, joint venturers or as agents for one another or as authorizing either party to obligate the other in any manner.

23. Force Majeure. Supreme Plastics will not be responsible for failure to perform in a timely manner under the Agreement when its failure results from events beyond its reasonable control (an event of “Force Majeure”), including acts of God, epidemics, acts of war whether declared or undeclared, blockades, labor disputes (whether of Supreme Plastics’ employees or the employees of others), raw material shortages and material increases in costs of raw materials. In the event of Force Majeure, the time for performance will extend for such time as reasonably necessary to enable Supreme Plastics to perform.

24. Assignment; Binding Effect. No assignment of any rights or interest or delegation of any obligation of Purchaser under the Agreement or Purchaser’s purchase order may be made without Supreme Plastics’ prior written consent. Any attempted assignment will be void. Supreme Plastics may assign the Agreement or otherwise transfer its rights and/or obligations under the Agreement. The Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

25. Waiver. In the event of any default by Purchaser, Supreme Plastics may decline to ship Products or provide Services. If Supreme Plastics elects to continue shipping or otherwise fails to insist upon strict compliance with the Agreement, Supreme Plastics’ actions will not constitute a waiver of Purchaser’s default or any other existing or future default, or affect Supreme Plastics’ legal remedies.

26. Bankruptcy. If either party becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its debts when due, files for or is the subject of involuntary bankruptcy, has a receiver appointed or has its assets assigned, the other party may cancel any unfulfilled obligations hereunder.

27. Limitation of Actions/Choice of Law. Any dispute arising out of or related to the Agreement and/or any Products or Services will be governed by and construed according to the laws of England and litigated exclusively in the courts of England. The parties hereto expressly release and waive any and all rights to a jury trial and consent to have any dispute heard solely by a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the Agreement.

28. Survival. Any provisions in the Agreement which, by their nature, extend beyond the termination or expiration of any sale of Products or Services, will remain in effect until fulfilled.

29. Severability. If any provision herein is held to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions herein will remain in effect.

30. Integration and Modification. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Supreme Plastics and Purchaser with respect to the Products and Services covered by the Agreement, and
supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, representations and quotations with respect thereto. No modification hereof will be of any effect unless in writing and signed by the party to be bound thereby.

31. Child-Resistant & Child-Deterrent Products. All references by Zip Pak to “Child Resistant” refer solely to the possibility that the applicable Products can be part of packaging that may satisfy the requirements of the U.S. Poison Prevention Packaging Act and related regulations (16 CFR 1700) (the “PPPA Requirements”). All references by Zip Pak to “Child-Deterrent” (or other similar phrases) refer generally to packaging meant to discourage young children from opening it, however such Products have not undergone any formal testing for child resistance or deterrence. Products, as packaging components, do not satisfy the PPPA Requirements or any other packaging requirement or standard on their own, and Zip Pak expressly rejects and revokes any statement to the contrary. Certain Products have been included on packaging that satisfies the PPPA Requirements, but no statement by Zip Pak is a guarantee that any specific packaging containing Products will satisfy the PPPA Requirements or any other laws, rules, regulations, standards or requirements. Purchaser hereby releases and indemnifies Zip Pak and affiliates from and against all claims and liabilities arising out of or related to packaging containing Products that is not sufficiently resistant and/or deterrent. All testing parameters, conditions and assumptions included in any lab test or third-party analysis or certification are integral to the results of such, and Zip Pak makes no guarantee that any such results will be repeatable or are applicable in different situations. Purchaser will not in any way state that any packaging including child-deterrent Products are “child resistant” (or the like).

The Customer’s attention is specifically drawn to Sections 8 and 10 below (Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liability and Remedies).

1. Acceptance. Zippak International BV, herein referred to as “Zippak”, is selling products (“Products”) or services (“Services”) to the customer purchasing Products or Services from Zippak, herein referred to as “Purchaser”. These terms and conditions of sale (“Terms”), any Zippak quotation, acknowledgment or invoice and all documents incorporated by specific reference herein or therein (“Zippak Documents” and together with these Terms, the “Agreement”), constitute the complete terms governing the sale of Products and Services. ZIPPAK HEREBY REJECTS ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS OR CONDITIONS PROPOSED BY PURCHASER, WHETHER OR NOT CONTAINED IN ANY OF PURCHASER’S BUSINESS FORMS OR IN PURCHASER’S WEBSITE, AND SUCH ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS WILL BE OF NO EFFECT. No site usage agreement or any other click through agreement on a website will have any binding effect whether or not Zippak clicks on an “ok,” “I accept,” or similar acknowledgment. Commencement of any work by Zippak or Purchaser’s acceptance of delivery of the Products or Services will manifest Purchaser’s assent to the Agreement. Additional or different terms applicable to a particular sale may be specified in the body of a Zippak Document or agreed to in writing by the parties. In the event of a conflict, the following order of precedence will apply: (a) terms agreed to in writing and executed by an authorized officer of Zippak; (b) Zippak Document terms; (c) these Terms.

2. Quotations. Quotations are only valid in writing and for 30 days from the date of the quotation. All quotations are subject to change or withdrawal without prior notice to Purchaser. Quotations are made subject to approval of Purchaser’s credit. Zippak may refuse orders and has no obligation to supply Products or Services unless Zippak issues an order acknowledgement or upon the shipment of Products or commencement of Services.

3. Prices and Payment Terms. Prices are subject to change without notice. All orders are accepted subject to Zippak’ price in effect at time of shipment. Prices do not include any sales, use, value-added or other taxes, VAT, import duties, license fees or like charges (“Fees”) related to the sale, importation or use of Products or Services, and Purchaser is responsible for those Fees. If Zippak is subsequently required to pay any Fees, Purchaser shall fully defend and indemnify Zippak therefor. Terms of payment are 30 days net from the date of Zippak’ invoice. Overdue invoices will incur interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or at the maximum rate allowable by governing law. Purchaser’s inspection rights herein will not affect the payment terms. Under no circumstances will Purchaser have a right of set-off. If Purchaser fails to make any payment as required, Purchaser agrees to indemnify Zippak for all associated costs incurred by Zippak, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs.

4. Credit Approval. All shipments are subject to approval by Zippak’ credit department. Zippak may invoice Purchaser and recover for each shipment as a separate transaction. If, in Zippak’ sole judgment, Purchaser’s financial condition is or becomes unsatisfactory, then Zippak may, without prejudice to any of its other remedies: (a) defer or decline to make any shipments except upon receipt of satisfactory security or cash payments in advance; and/or (b) terminate any or all of Purchaser’s purchase orders.

5. Cancellation or Modification. Once Zippak has accepted a purchase order or begun taking actions with respect to a purchase order, Purchaser cannot cancel or modify that purchase order except with
Zippak’ written consent. In such event, Purchaser will be liable for cancellation or modification charges and all costs incurred and committed for the order or in connection with the cancellation or modification, as applicable, together with a reasonable allowance for prorated expenses and anticipated profits.

6. Inspection / Non-Conforming Shipments. Purchaser may inspect Products for a period of 15 business days after delivery (“Inspection Period”). Purchaser must notify Zippak in writing of any Products that do not conform to the specifications applicable to their sale within the Inspection Period and afford Zippak a reasonable opportunity to inspect such Products and cure any nonconformity. If Purchaser fails to provide Zippak such written notice within the Inspection Period, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the Products. Purchaser may not return any Product without Zippak’ prior written authorization. Any return authorized by Zippak must be made in accordance with Zippak’ return policies. Purchaser will be responsible for all costs associated with returns of Products and will bear the risk of loss, unless Zippak agrees otherwise in writing or determines that the Products do not conform to the applicable terms of sale. Any variation in quantities shipped over or under those ordered (not to exceed 10%) will constitute compliance with Purchaser’s order, and the stated price per item will continue to apply.

7. Delivery. Zippak anticipates use of common carriers for shipment of Products. The carrier, and not Zippak, will bill for freight rates and other shipping charges. Payments for such charges shall be paid by Purchaser directly to the carrier. All Products will be shipped F.O.B. Zippak’ facility. Shipping dates are approximate and are based upon prompt receipt of all necessary information from Purchaser. Zippak may ship items in a single or multiple shipments. Title to the Products and risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser upon delivery to the common carrier at Zippak’ facility. Purchaser assumes all risk and liability for loss and use or misuse by third parties who acquire or use the Products illicitly after delivery. Purchaser must notify Zippak and the delivering carrier within 15 business days from date of receipt of Products, of any damage or shortage, and afford Zippak a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Products. Any loss occasioned by damage or shrinkage in transit will be for Purchaser’s account, and claims for such loss must be made solely against the carrier.

8. Limited Warranty. Zippak warrants that it will convey the Products free and clear of all liens, security interests and encumbrances created by, through or under Zippak. Zippak further warrants that for a period of 6 months from the date of delivery to the common carrier (the “Warranty Period”), under normal use and given proper installation and maintenance as determined by Zippak, the Products: (a) will conform to mutually agreed upon written specifications or other descriptions; and (b) will be free from substantial defects in material and workmanship. In the event of a breach of the warranties set forth above (the “Warranties”), Zippak will, at Zippak’ option and as Zippak’ sole liability and Purchaser’s sole remedy, repair, replace or credit Purchaser’s account for, any Product that fails to conform to the Warranties, provided that (i) during the Warranty Period Zippak is promptly notified in writing upon discovery of such failure with a detailed explanation of any alleged deficiencies; (ii) Zippak is given a reasonable opportunity to investigate all claims; and (iii) Zippak’ examination of such Product confirms the alleged deficiencies and that the deficiencies were not caused by accident, misuse, neglect, normal wear and tear, improper installation, unauthorized alteration or repair or improper testing. No Products may be returned to Zippak until inspection and approval by Zippak. The Warranty against defects does not apply to: (1) consumable components or ordinary wear items; or (2) use of the Products with equipment, components or parts not specified or supplied by Zippak or contemplated under the Product documentation.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, ZIPPAK MAKES NO WARRANTY, PROMISSORY CONDITIONS OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE). ADDITIONALLY, ZIPPAK HEREBY EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND SATISFACTORY QUALITY

9. Service Warranty. Zippak warrants that (a) it will perform Services in a timely, competent and professional manner and in accordance with industry standards; and (b) the Services shall conform to any mutually agreed upon specifications or statements of work. Purchaser’s sole remedy, and Zippak’ sole liability, for a breach of the foregoing warranty is for Zippak, at its option, to re-perform the Services or credit Purchaser’s account for such Services.

10. Limitation of Liability and Remedies. ZIPPAK WILL NOT BE LIABLE, AND PURCHASER WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ZIPPAK, FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, DOWN TIME, LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSSES, WHETHER OR NOT BASED UPON ZIPPAK’ NEGLIGENCE OR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION. IN NO EVENT WILL ZIPPAK’ LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR SALE OF ZIPPAK’ PRODUCTS OR SERVICES EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE SPECIFIC PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AS TO WHICH THE CLAIM IS MADE.

11. Product Use. Purchaser is solely responsible for determining if a Product is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for Purchaser’s method of application. Accordingly, and due to the nature and manner of use of Zippak’ Products, Zippak is not responsible for the results or consequences of use, misuse or application of its Products. All physical properties, statements and recommendations are either based on the tests or experience that Zippak believes to be reliable, but they are not guaranteed.

12. Tooling/Molds/Dies. All material, equipment, facilities and special tooling (including tools, jigs, dies, fixtures, molds, patterns, special taps, special gauges, special test equipment and manufacturing aids and replacements thereof) used in the manufacture of the Products will remain the property of Zippak. Any material, tooling or equipment furnished to Zippak by Purchaser will remain the property of Purchaser with title to and right of possession remaining in Purchaser.

13. Consignment. If Products are sold on a consignment basis, title in such Products will not pass to Purchaser until the earlier of: (a) the time the Product is removed from inventory for use; or (b) the date that is 90 days from the Product’s shipment date. Zippak will have a purchase money security interest in consigned Products and may file a financing statement in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code. Purchaser agrees to store consigned Products in a segregated area and will install and/or maintain any signs or other devices to clearly identify the Products as Zippak Products. Purchaser assumes the risk of loss of all consigned Products. Purchaser shall insure consigned Products at Purchaser’s expense in amounts at least equal to the replacement value.

14. Ownership of Intellectual Property.

Purchaser has no claim to, nor ownership interest in, any Intellectual Property, and such
information, in whatever form and any copies thereof, shall be promptly returned to Zippak upon request from Zippak. Purchaser acknowledges that no license or rights of any sort are granted to Purchaser hereunder in respect of any Intellectual Property, other than the limited right to use Zippak’ Products or receive the Services purchased from Zippak.

15. Use of Trademarks and Trade Names. Purchaser shall not use, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, Zippak’ name, or any other trademark or trade name that is now or may hereafter be owned by Zippak (collectively the “Trademarks”), as part of Purchaser’s corporate or business name, or in any way in connection with Purchaser’s business, except in a manner and to the extent authorized herein or otherwise approved by Zippak in writing. Purchaser hereby acknowledges Zippak’ ownership of the Trademarks and the goodwill associated therewith. Purchaser shall not infringe upon, harm or contest the validity of any Trademarks. Purchaser shall be entitled to use the Trademarks only in connection with the promotion or sale of the Authorized Products pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Purchaser shall reproduce the Trademarks exactly as specified by Zippak. Purchaser shall not use the Trademarks in combination with any other trademarks or names. Purchaser agrees that it will not register or attempt to register any Trademark or any colorable imitation thereof (including any non-English language variation thereof), or use such Trademarks for any products or for any purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement. Purchaser shall not at any time during or after termination of the Agreement use in its business any other trademark that is similar to or in any way resembles the Trademarks so as to be likely to cause deception or confusion with the Trademarks. Purchaser shall provide reasonable cooperation to Zippak with respect to any efforts of Zippak to protect, defend or enforce its rights to the Trademarks. Should Purchaser cease being an authorized customer of Zippak for any reason, Purchaser shall immediately discontinue any formerly permitted use of Zippak’ name or the Trademarks.

16. Confidential Information. All information furnished or made available by Zippak to Purchaser in connection with the subject matter hereof shall be held in confidence by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees not to use (directly or indirectly), or disclose to others, such information without Zippak’ prior written consent. The obligations in this section will not apply to any information that: (a) at the time of disclosure was or thereafter becomes generally available to the public by publication or otherwise through no breach by Purchaser of any obligation herein; (b) Purchaser can show by written records was in Purchaser’s possession prior to disclosure by Zippak; or (c) is legally made available to Purchaser by or through a third party having no direct or indirect confidentiality obligation to Zippak with respect to such information.

17. Audit. Unless agreed to in writing by an officer of Zippak, neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser representative, may examine or audit Zippak’ cost accounts, books or records of any kind or any matter, or any other data that Zippak, in its sole discretion, considers confidential or proprietary.

18. Infringement and Indemnification. Except as set forth below, Zippak agrees to defend and indemnify Purchaser against any claims, costs, damages, liability and expenses resulting from actual patent, trademark or copyright infringement, misappropriation of confidential information, or violation of any other Intellectual Property right, domestic or foreign that may arise from the sale of Zippak’ proprietary Product to Purchaser as such pertains to the subject matter of the Agreement (each, a “Claim”); provided, however, (a) Purchaser supplies Zippak written notice of such Claim immediately after the Purchaser has notice of such Claim, (b) Purchaser cooperates with Zippak in the defense and settlement of such Claim; and (c) Purchaser allows Zippak the right to defend and settle such Claim at Zippak’ expense If a suit or claim results in any injunction or order that would prevent Zippak from
supplying any part or Product falling under the Agreement, or if the result of such a suit or claim would, in the reasonable opinion of Zippak, otherwise cause Zippak to be unable to supply such parts or Products, Zippak may do one or more of the following: (i) secure an appropriate license to permit Zippak to continue supplying those parts or Products; (ii) modify the appropriate part or Product so that it becomes non-infringing; (iii) replace the appropriate part or Product with a non-infringing but practically equivalent part or Product; or (iv) if Zippak cannot reasonably accomplish the actions specified in subsections (i) – (iii), then in Zippak’ sole discretion, Zippak may discontinue selling the part or Product without any further liability to Purchaser.

22. Force Majeure. Zippak will not be responsible for failure to perform in a timely manner under the Agreement when its failure results from events beyond its reasonable control (an event of “Force Majeure”), including acts of God, epidemics, acts of war whether declared or undeclared, blockades, labor disputes (whether of Zippak’ employees or the employees of others), raw material shortages and material increases in costs of raw materials. In the event of Force Majeure, the time for performance will extend for such time as reasonably necessary to enable Zippak to perform.

23. Assignment; Binding Effect. No assignment of any rights or interest or delegation of any obligation of Purchaser under the Agreement or Purchaser’s purchase order may be made without Zippak’ prior written consent. Any attempted assignment will be void. Zippak may assign the Agreement or otherwise transfer its rights and/or obligations under the Agreement. The Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

24. Waiver. In the event of any default by Purchaser, Zippak may decline to ship Products or provide Services.

29. Integration and Modification. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Zippak and Purchaser with respect to the Products and Services covered by the Agreement, and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, representations and quotations with respect thereto. No modification hereof will be of any effect unless in writing and signed by the party to be bound thereby.

30. Child-Resistant & Child-Deterrent Products. All references by Zip Pak to “Child Resistant” refer solely to the possibility that the applicable Products can be part of packaging that may satisfy the requirements of the U.S. Poison Prevention Packaging Act and related regulations (16 CFR 1700) (the “PPPA Requirements”). All references by Zip Pak to “Child-Deterrent” (or other similar phrases) refer generally to packaging meant to discourage young children from opening it, however such Products have not undergone any formal testing for child resistance or deterrence. Products, as packaging components, do not satisfy the PPPA Requirements or any other packaging requirement or standard on their own, and Zip Pak expressly rejects and revokes any statement to the contrary. Certain Products have been included on packaging that satisfies the PPPA Requirements, but no statement by Zip Pak is a guarantee that any specific packaging containing Products will satisfy the PPPA Requirements or any other laws, rules, regulations, standards or requirements. Purchaser hereby releases and indemnifies Zip Pak and affiliates from and against all claims and liabilities arising out of or related to packaging containing Products that is not sufficiently resistant and/or deterrent. All testing parameters, conditions and assumptions included in any lab test or third-party analysis or certification are integral to the results of such, and Zip Pak makes no guarantee that any such results will be repeatable or are applicable in different situations. Purchaser will not in any way state that any packaging including child-deterrent Products are “child resistant” (or the like).
