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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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).

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).

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.

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

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).
