  2. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF, AND SELLER DISCLAIMS AND BUYER WAIVES, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND OF ANY OTHER TYPE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW (STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) AND WHETHER OR NOT OCCASIONED BY SELLER’S NEGLIGENCE.

In no event shall Seller be liable for late delivery or other penalties.

  1. Intellectual Property. All patent, technology, copyright, trade secret or other similar proprietary or intellectual property rights in or related to the design, production, delivery, operation, use, application or performance of Products, or other Confidential Information of Seller, and all improvements thereto, are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of Seller.

In no event may Buyer make a patent or other claim to Seller’s Products and/or Seller’s technology or processes or include or reference any Confidential Information of Seller in any patent or other claim.  Nothing in this Section 5 precludes Buyer from incorporating a description or reference to Seller’s Products and/or non-confidential aspects of Seller’s technology or processes where necessary to support a patent or other claim to Buyer’s product, provided, however, that no use of Seller’s name, trademarks or logos may be made without Seller’s prior written consent. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as granting to Buyer any license or grant of intellectual property rights with regards to the Products’ or its processes.

Seller Indemnity.  Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer against third party claims for personal injury or tangible property damage to the extent caused by a defect in any Equipment.

The parties agree that such amounts are a reasonable pre-estimate of the damages Seller will suffer as a result of delay based on circumstances existing at the time the purchase order was issued and are to be assessed as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.
    3.     If pursuant to the terms of the purchase order, Buyer has elected to use a freight forwarder and/or carrier selected by Buyer, and shipment of the Equipment  does not take place on or prior to the confirmed ship date as a result of Buyer’s failure to arrange for Buyer’s freight forwarder and/or carrier to take delivery of the Equipment on the confirmed ship date, then, upon five (5) business days’ notice to Buyer (which may be by email), (i) Seller shall be entitled to ship the Equipment to Buyer using a freight forwarder selected by Seller [FCA Shipping Point] freight prepaid and billed” and invoice Buyer for such charges; and (ii) Buyer shall pay to Seller such invoiced charges net thirty (30) days after date of invoice.  If Seller exercises its rights under this paragraph, title and risk of loss shall pass to Buyer in accordance with the Incoterm as specified in the Quote.

For a period of five (5) years from the date of receipt, Confidential Information shall be maintained in confidence by the receiving party, shall not be disclosed to any third party, other than Seller’s suppliers who have a reason to know, without prior written approval of the disclosing party, and shall be protected with the same degree of care as the receiving party normally uses in the protection of its own confidential and proprietary information, but in no case with any less degree than reasonable care.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties’ obligation to protect trade secrets is perpetual or for so long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law, whichever occurs first.

  1. Force Majeure. Seller is not liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement resulting directly or indirectly from or contributed to by, acts of God, acts of civil or military authorities, riots or civil disobedience, terrorism, wars, strikes or labor disputes, accidents, floods, fires, or inability to secure material or transportation facilities, dissolution of a supplier’s business, acts or omissions of carriers, or any other circumstance beyond Seller’s reasonable control; provided, however, that, Buyer agrees to take delivery and make payment for finished Equipment  or component as of the date of the Force Majeure event.  
  2. Waiver. No failure or delay by either party to insist upon strict performance of any rights or powers under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any other single or partial exercise of such right or power preclude any other further exercise of any rights or remedies provided by law, unless agreed to by that party in writing. Any waiver of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either party.
  3. Assignment. This Agreement may not be transferred or assigned by Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller.  Seller may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to an affiliate company or third party acquirer in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all its assets.
  4. Specific Performance.  Buyer agrees that monetary damages may not be sufficient to remedy a breach hereunder and that Seller shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief.
  5. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this contract shall remain in effect.
  6. Export/Import.  Buyer shall be solely responsible for obtaining all approvals, authorizations licenses and permits, unless otherwise specified under the applicable Incoterms agreed to by the parties.  Buyer shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations, and making all arrangements related to the export or import of Equipment supplied by Seller.  Equipment and related technical information, data, documents and materials are subject to export controls under U.S. Export Administration Regulations and U.S. Department of the Treasury embargo regulations and other applicable laws.  Buyer shall strictly comply with all such export controls, shall fully cooperate with Seller in any official or unofficial investigation, audit or inspection that relates to any of such controls, and shall not export, re-export, divert or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Equipment  or related technical information, data, documents or materials to any party or destination or for any use that is subject to an embargo or otherwise prohibited pursuant to such controls, unless and until Buyer obtains all required governmental and regulatory approvals, authorizations, licenses and permits.
  7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware if Seller is an entity formed in the U.S. and the Province of Ontario if the Seller is a Canadian legal entity, without regard to its conflict of law provisions and shall not be governed by the U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods.
  8. Payment.  Quoted prices exclude taxes, freight and insurance and any duties and brokerage charges, all of which shall be the sole liability and responsibility of Buyer.  If Buyer claims an exemption from any tax, a valid and proper tax exemption certificate must accompany order.  Unless otherwise set forth in Seller’s invoice, proposal, lease, or purchase order acknowledgment, all payments shall be made in the currency specified in the Quote.

Any deposit or graduated payment schedule shall be set forth in the Quote and invoiced accordingly. If not addressed in the Quote, Equipment will be invoiced upon shipment and Services upon completion or thirty (30) days from shipment of Equipment, whichever occurs first.  Payment is due Net30 or as otherwise specified in the Quote. 

All amounts not paid and received in full by the due date  are subject to a finance charge at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month (eighteen percent (18%) per annum) or, if less, at the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date due until paid in full.

As used herein, “extraordinary market conditions” means any increase in the cost of materials caused by changes in the market or for any other reason that is outside of Seller’s control such as tariffs, surcharges, increased logistics costs and fluctuations in currency and raw materials, which results in an overall price increase of the Equipment in excess of two percent (2%) above the price listed in the Quote. Each shipment is a separate sale and is subject to credit arrangements or to receipt of cash. If payment is not made in accordance with Seller’s payment terms, or if at any time, in Seller’s sole judgment, Buyer’s credit standing has been impaired, Seller may withhold shipment of any Equipment or the provision of any Services, until cash or credit arrangements have been established to Seller’s sole satisfaction.

    • If any claim is made against the Buyer that the Goods infringe, or that their use or resale infringes, the rights of any third party, Band-It may (at its option) either secure the Buyer’s right to continue to use the Goods or replace or modify the Goods to make them non-infringing, or, if neither of these alternatives is reasonably available to Band-It, refund the price paid for the Goods but shall have no further liability to the Buyer.
    • The Buyer shall indemnify and keep indemnified, and shall hold harmless Band-It fully on demand against any and all actions, claims, losses (including, without limitation, loss of profit, revenue or goodwill), damages, costs, charges and expenses (including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses) incurred by, or awarded against, Band-It in connection with, or paid or agreed to be paid by Band-It in settlement of, any claim for alleged infringement of any rights of any third party as a result of the carrying out by Band-It, its employees, sub contractors or agents of any work required to be done to Goods in accordance with the requirements or specifications of the Buyer.
  13. THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
    • No person other than a party to a Contract shall be entitled to enforce any term of it, save that where an agreement is entered into pursuant to which any rights and/or obligations contained in a Contract are assigned or novated to a third party, nothing in this Condition 12.1 shall, of itself, operate to prevent the assignee or novatee from taking the benefit of, and enforcing, any rights and/or obligations so assigned or novated.
  14. FORCE MAJEURE
    • Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Conditions, Band-It shall not be liable to the Buyer for any loss or damage which may be suffered by the Buyer as a direct or indirect result of the supply of Goods by Band-It being prevented, hindered, delayed or rendered uneconomic by reason of circumstances or events beyond Band-It’s reasonable control including, but not limited to, war, riot, civil commotion, acts of terrorism, sabotage, theft, malicious damage, confiscation, nationalisation, embargo, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule or regulation, the act of any government or authority (including refusal or revocation of any licence or consent), lack of usual means of transportation or communication, shortage or restriction of power supply, accident to or destruction or failure of machinery, premises or other installation, natural disasters, accidental fire, explosion, flood, storm, acts of God, strikes, lock-outs, labour disputes, shortage of labour, materials or utilities, or defaults of suppliers or sub-contractors. If due to such circumstances or events Band-It has insufficient stocks to meet all its commitments Band-It may apportion available stocks between its customers at its sole discretion.
  15. CONFIDENTIALITY
    • Each party agrees and undertakes that it will keep confidential, will not use for its own purposes and will not without the prior written consent of the other party disclose to any third party, any information of a confidential nature (including trade secrets and information relating to its business, clients, customers, business plans, affairs or activities which information is confidential and proprietary to that party) which may become known to it unless such information is public knowledge (other than by breach of this Condition 14) or is required to be disclosed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
  16. INSOLVENCY OF BUYER
    • Without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Band-It, Band-It shall be entitled to treat any Contract as repudiated and/or withhold any further deliveries of Goods without any liability to the Buyer and, if any Goods have been delivered but not paid for, the total amount payable therefor shall become immediately due and payable notwithstanding any previous agreement or arrangement to the contrary, if:
      • the Buyer is, or is deemed to be, insolvent or is unable to pay its debts as they fall due;
      • the Buyer makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order or (being an individual or firm) becomes bankrupt or (being a company) goes into liquidation (otherwise than for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction) or passes a resolution for its voluntary winding up or has a petition for its compulsory winding up presented against it;
      • an encumbrancer takes possession, or a receiver or administrative receiver is appointed, of any of the property or assets of the Buyer; or
      • the Buyer ceases, or threatens to cease, to carry on business; or
      • any equivalent or analogous event or proceeding occurs in any other applicable jurisdiction; or
      • Band-It reasonably believes that any of the events mentioned above is about to occur in relation to the Buyer or any other matter which in the opinion of Band-It may prejudice its rights against the Buyer.
  17. GENERAL
    • The failure of Band-It to enforce or to exercise at any time or for any period of time any term of or any right pursuant to these Conditions does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, a waiver of such term or right and shall in no way affect Band-It’s right later to enforce or to exercise it.
    • No alteration to any Contract shall take effect unless and until the same is in writing and signed on behalf of each of the parties by a duly authorised representative.
    • If any provision or part of a provision of a Contract is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, such provision or part of a provision shall, insofar as it is severable from the remaining terms, be deemed omitted from the Contract and shall in no way affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining conditions.
    • The Buyer may not assign or sub-license any Contract or any of its rights or obligations under a Contract without the prior written consent of Band-It.
    • Except as expressly stated in these Conditions to the contrary, all notices and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to any Contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered or transmitted to the recipient’s address or such other address as notified from time to time. Any notice shall be treated as having been served on delivery if delivered by hand, 4 (four) working days after posting if sent by pre-paid registered mail, 2 (two) working days after despatch if sent by courier and on confirmation of transmission if sent by facsimile.
    • The construction, validity and performance of all Contracts and these Conditions shall be governed by English law and the parties hereby submit irrevocably to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts to resolve any dispute between them provided that Band-It shall have the right, as claimant, to initiate proceedings against the Buyer in any other court of competent jurisdiction.
