Additional or different terms provided in Buyer's purchase order which vary in any degree from any of the terms herein are hereby objected to and rejected. If this Agreement shall be deemed an acceptance by Seller in response to an offer by Buyer and if any terms herein are additional to or different from any terms of such offer, then the issuance of this Agreement by Seller shall constitute an acceptance expressly conditioned upon Buyer's assent to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any conduct by Buyer (including, without limitation, payment for, or use of, the goods) which recognizes the existence of a contract pertaining to the subject matter hereof shall constitute acceptance by Buyer of this Agreement and all of its terms and conditions.

In addition, sales, use, franchise, license, excise and other taxes in respect of manufacture, sale or delivery of the goods furnished hereunder, export or import duties and inspection fees, and all interest and penalties thereon, shall be paid by Buyer unless a proper exemption certificate is furnished. If Buyer shall fail to pay and discharge any such amounts when due, Seller may at its option, pay the same, in which event Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for such sums paid.
3. Terms of Payment: Subject to on-going credit approval by Seller, the terms of payment shall be net thirty (30) days from date of invoice, and Buyer's payment shall be cash in United States funds payable pursuant to Seller's instructions.

7. Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, Seller (i) represents that, to the best of its knowledge, as of the date of manufacture of the goods, the goods themselves (other than Buyer’s specific combination of the goods with other substances to form a product, or in the operation of any process to make such Buyer’s product) do not infringe any copyrights, design patents, utility patents, trademarks, trade secrets or similar intellectual property rights (collectively “IP RIGHTS”) of any third party. Seller shall not be liable, and no warranty to Buyer shall apply if infringement arises from combination of the goods with any material not supplied by Seller, or arises in the operation of any process, or arises from any alteration in the goods made by Buyer, or as a direct result of Seller being required to adhere to a specification provided by Buyer.
Buyer must determine the appropriateness of the intended use both from an intellectual property and product safety standpoint. Buyer shall fully indemnify and defend Seller for any claims arising as a result of Buyer’s application, combination, use, or alteration of the goods. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and save harmless Seller where the alleged infringement is the result of the application, use or alteration to which the goods are put by Buyer or others, or if infringement is based upon the use of goods in connection with materials not manufactured by Seller or in a manner for which the goods were not designed by Seller or were modified by or for Buyer in a manner to cause them to become infringing.
Seller makes no representations and warranties concerning IP RIGHTS related to Buyer specified adders and/or Buyer-supplied materials being in the goods. Other than as set forth herein, Buyer assumes all risk of infringement, violation or misappropriation of third party IP RIGHTS and Seller makes no representations and warranties to Buyer.

9. Force Majeure: Seller shall be relieved from liability hereunder for failure to perform any or all of its obligations, for the time and to the extent of such failure to perform where Seller's failure is occasioned by any cause or causes of any kind or character reasonably beyond the control of Seller (any such cause herein called "Force Majeure"), including, without limitation: Acts of God, accidents, fire, explosion, flood and hurricanes; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; riots or civil commotion; war, declared or undeclared; compliance with any laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes or Executive Orders of any kind and nature now or hereafter in effect promulgated by any federal, state, county or local government, or any other government (domestic or foreign) or any other governmental agency (domestic or foreign)(collectively, the "Laws") including, without limitation, priority, rationing, allocation or pre-emption orders or regulations affecting the conduct of Seller's business which Seller in its sole discretion deems it advisable to comply with as a legal or patriotic duty; cancellation of Seller's license to operate its plant; shortage or breakdown or other failure of facilities used for manufacture or transportation; shortage of labor; inability to secure, in Seller's sole discretion, all at reasonable prices or on account of shortages of, transportation, power, fuel, materials or supplies; or total or partial shutdown due to Seller's normal plant turnaround or as required by Seller's operation.

Upon the cessation of the cause or causes for any such failure or delay, performance hereof shall be resumed, but such delay shall not, except by mutual agreement, operate to extend the term of this Agreement or obligate Seller to make up deliveries or Buyer to purchases quantities so missed. Settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the sole discretion of Seller, and Seller shall not be required to settle strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of the employees involved, when such course is inadvisable in Seller's sole discretion. Seller shall not be responsible for reasonable delays in filling any order when due. "Reasonable delays" include, without limitation, delays to which Buyer, when notified, makes no objection. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.

Seller may suspend goods shipments and/or cancel this Agreement on fifteen (15) days notice if Buyer fails to comply with any of its commitments under this Section. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless against any and all third party causes of action, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) to the extent arising out of Buyer’s failure to comply with any of its commitments under this Section.

However, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if any provision related to price is invalid or unenforceable. Seller's failure to exercise any rights under this Agreement in a particular instance shall not operate as a waiver of any right to exercise the same or different rights in any subsequent instance.

Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Seller. Seller may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement.
