A. Repair and Replacement

Seller’s sole obligation with respect to any product which is found to contain any material defect in workmanship within the applicable warranty period shall be, at Seller’s sole discretion, either to repair or replace such product at no charge to the Buyer, or to refund the purchase price upon return of the defective product to Seller. The replacement product need not be new (i.e., it may be used or reconditioned) nor be of identical make, model or part, so long as Seller has reasonably determined that it is substantially equivalent or superior in all material respects to the product being replaced. Repaired or replacement products will be warranted for the remainder of the original applicable warranty period. All products (including any part thereof) replaced by Seller or for which the purchase price is refunded shall become the property of Seller upon replacement or refund. Unless otherwise designated in writing by Seller, Seller is the only party authorized to perform warranty service on Seller products and services.

B. Limitation

If a product is believed to be defective and is still in warranty, or if Seller has otherwise agreed to accept return of a product, Buyer shall (unless otherwise instructed in writing by Seller) (i) if the product is alleged to be defective, provide Seller with a written description in sufficient detail to allow Seller to confirm such defect; (ii) obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”) number from Seller; (iii) if requested by Seller, provide written proof of purchase of the product (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for the product); (iv) after an RMA number is issued, package the product securely in the original or other suitable shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, with the RMA number prominently marked on the outside of the package; and (v) within fifteen (15) days of issuance of the RMA, ship the product at Buyer’s sole expense to Seller or its distribution center, as indicated by Seller. In addition:

7. Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Force Majeure

A. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Buyer and Seller agree that neither party, nor its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, or contractors, shall be liable to the other party, nor its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, or contractors, for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, nor for any damages arising from personal injury or death, injury to real or tangible property, delay, loss of goodwill, loss of, damage to, or unauthorized access to data, interruption in use or availability of data, loss of use of money or use of products, lost profits, revenue or savings (actual or anticipated), or other economic loss ensuing from or in connection with products or services or this Agreement, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Seller shall not be liable for any failure of Buyer’s equipment not provided by Seller. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Seller’s aggregate liability to Buyer shall not exceed the monies received from Buyer for the purchase of products and services. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding the failure of the essential purpose of any limited remedy.

B. Indemnification

Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, or contractors from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and legal expenses) arising out of or related to (i) any use, misuse, or nonuse of a product or service by Buyer, any person acting under Buyer’s direction, control, or authorization,  or any third party, whether such product is used alone or in conjunction with the operation, use, maintenance, or service of any other product or good, tangible or intangible, and regardless of the purpose of such use, misuse or nonuse, including without limitation the compliance of any other product or good with any safety or technical standard or specification for operation, use, or maintenance; and (ii) any third party claim arising out of or related in any way to any product or service sold to Buyer. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer and Buyer’s affiliates harmless from any damages arising out of or connected to claims, actions, or proceedings asserted by third parties based upon or related to (a) Seller’s failure to properly license any third-party software provided by Seller to Buyer in connection with providing our products or services to Buyer or (b) Seller’s material breach of this Agreement.

C. Force Majeure

Except for obligations to make payments, neither Seller nor Buyer will be liable for delay or failure to perform obligations under this Agreement where the delay or failure results from a cause beyond either party’s reasonable control, such as utility failures or, more generally, acts of God.

8. Termination

This Agreement and the relevant purchase order may by terminated by either party (i) upon the commission of a material breach, including the non-payment of any amounts due hereunder, by the other party that is not cured within fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party; (ii) upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party. Except as otherwise set forth herein, including Section 7, if either party directly incurs any costs or expenses or any other liabilities, or suffers any loss due to breach of this Agreement by the other party, the breaching party shall indemnify the non-breaching party against such costs, expenses, liabilities, and losses, including any paid, payable, or past interests.

9. Notices

Any notice or consent required under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed to the other party at its respective address first stated above, and delivered by US first-class, certified mail, return receipt requested, effective three (3) days after deposit in the US mail with adequate postage prepaid thereon.

10. No Assignment

Neither this Agreement nor any license related to software granted herein may be assigned, sublicensed, leased, sold, or otherwise transferred by Buyer without prior written consent from Seller, and any transfer made without such prior written consent shall be null and void. This Agreement and any rights granted herein by Seller are personal to Buyer and may be used for personal or internal business use only and may not be used on behalf of a client or customer of Buyer except as authorized in writing by Seller.

11. Choice of Law and Arbitration

The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or related to any product or service sold by Seller to Buyer or the Agreement shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction hereof.

12. Severability and Non-Waiver

If any provision of the Agreement shall be held void, voidable, invalid, or inoperative, no other provision hereof shall be affected as a result, and accordingly, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect as though such void, voidable, invalid or inoperative provision had not been contained herein, provided, however, that if such void, voidable, invalid or inoperative provision is a material term or condition, the parties shall be compelled to supply a substitute provision, negotiated in good faith, which comes closest to their original intention. No provision of the Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of either party, it being understood that waiver may only occur by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized officer of the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. In the event of a waiver, whether in writing or by operation of law, such waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or of the same provision on another occasion

13. Entire Agreement

This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the subject matter and shall prevail over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order, previous agreement, acknowledgment, or similar communications between Seller and Buyer. If this Agreement is incorporated by reference into any other agreement between the parties or any terms and conditions applicable to Buyer, with respect to any ambiguity or conflict between such incorporating agreement or terms, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, such incorporating agreement or terms shall control to the extent of the scope of such incorporating agreement or terms and this Agreement shall control with respect to matters outside the scope of such incorporating agreement or terms.
