This purchase order ("Purchase Order") is for the purchase of goods services, or both as described on the face of this Purchase Order (collectively, "Goods") and is issued by Ademco Inc., doing business as ADI Global Distribution ("ADI"). This Purchase Order is deemed accepted when the supplier to which this Purchase Order is issued ("Supplier") returns the acknowledgment copy of this Purchase Order or begins performing, whichever is earlier. ADI rejects any additional or inconsistent terms and conditions offered by Supplier at any time. Any reference to Supplier’s quotation, bid, or proposal does not imply acceptance of any term, condition, or instruction contained in that document.
These terms and conditions together with any previously executed non-disclosure agreement (the obligations of which remain in effect) and with the exhibits, schedules, specifications, drawings, or other documents referred to on the face of the Purchase Order, or attached, or any documents incorporated by reference, supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, promises, or negotiations, whether oral or written, respecting the subject matter of this Purchase Order. All contract documents related to this Purchase Order are interpreted together as one agreement; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict among the provisions of one or more of such contract documents as are validly in effect at the time of such conflict, the following order of precedence applies: (a) any consignment, stocking or other replenishment agreement; then (b) any supply agreement; then (c) any contract for labor services; then (d) the face of the Purchase Order and any supplemental terms included or incorporated by reference; then (e) these general Purchase Order provisions; and finally (f) other contract documents agreed to in writing by the parties. The exhibits, schedules and other attachments to this Purchase Order are incorporated by reference. No change to or modification of this Purchase Order will be binding upon ADI unless in writing, specifically identifying that it amends this Purchase Order, and signed by an authorized procurement representative of ADI. If Supplier becomes aware of any ambiguities, issues, or discrepancies between this Purchase Order and any specification, design, or other technical requirement applicable to this Purchase Order, Supplier will immediately submit the matter to ADI for resolution. Neither Party has relied on any promises, inducements, or representations by the other, except those expressly stated in this Purchase Order. No course of dealing, prior dealings, usage of trade or course of performance will be used to modify, supplement or explain any terms used in, or incorporated by reference into, this Purchase Order.
2.1. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Supplier will deliver Goods in the quantities and on the date(s) specified on the Purchase Order or Purchase Order schedule releases. If delivery dates are not stated, Supplier will offer its best delivery date(s), which will be subject to acceptance or rejection by ADI. Unless otherwise directed, all Goods shipped in one day from and to a single location must be consolidated on one bill of lading or air waybill, as appropriate.
2.2. If the delivery schedule is endangered for any reason other than ADI's fault, then Supplier will, at its expense, deliver Goods by the most expeditious shipping method required to fulfill the Purchase Order delivery requirements. Supplier is responsible for all costs incurred by ADI resulting from Supplier’s delayed or missed delivery. If any Products are not delivered on time, ADI may, without prejudice to its other rights, deduct 2% of the Purchase Order value per week of late delivery, up to a maximum of 8% and if delivery is delayed for more than 4 weeks. ADI will not have to prove actual damages to recover the stipulated damages in this section. The stipulated damages above and, if assessed, additional damages will be credited in any outstanding invoice or, if not sufficient, Supplier will pay ADI within 10 days of Purchaser’s assessment. ADI reserves the right to reject, at no expense to ADI, all or any part of any delivery that varies from the quantity authorized by ADI for shipment. ADI reserves the right to pursue additional remedies caused by late delivery, including but not limited to: (a) incremental freight expenses incurred by ADI for shipments of Goods to ADI and for shipments of Goods or finished product containing or incorporating the Goods from ADI to any customer of ADI, and (b) all liquidated damages payable by ADI as a result of any such late delivery. Supplier will not make any substitutions without ADI’s prior written approval. All items will be packaged according to ADI's instructions or, if none, according to good commercial practice in a manner sufficient to ensure receipt in an undamaged condition. ADI will not be liable for any discharge, spill or other environmental incident or condition (including clean-up costs) involving any Goods shipped under the Purchase Order unless caused by ADI and in no event until delivery to the destination designated by ADI. All containers will be properly marked for identification as instructed on ADI’s Purchase Order and contain a packing slip that details, at a minimum, the ADI Purchase Order number(s), product part number, detailed product description, country of origin, total number of boxes in shipment, quantity of product shipped, and final delivery address. Items shipped in advance of ADI's delivery schedule may be returned at Supplier's expense. For domestic shipments, if requested by ADI, and for all international shipments, Supplier will give notice of shipment to ADI when the Goods are delivered to a carrier for transportation. The Purchase Order number(s) must appear on all correspondence, shipping labels, and shipping documents, including all packing sheets, bills of lading, and air waybills.
2.3. All Goods, unless specifically exempted by the destination country’s governing authorities, must be marked with the country of origin (manufacture) of the Goods in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the article or container permits.
2.4. Supplier will provide ADI with (a) the Harmonized Tariff Schedule number, country of origin information or certificates, manufacturer's affidavits, applicable free trade agreement ("FTA") certificates, and any other documents or information ADI may require to comply with international trade regulations or to lawfully minimize duties, taxes, and fees, and (b) FTA certificates for all Goods that qualify under one or more FTAs. Supplier will provide ADI all documents, records, and other supporting information necessary to substantiate the Goods’ qualification under an FTA. Supplier will exert reasonable efforts to qualify the Goods under FTAs.
2.5. Within one business day after Supplier delivers the Goods to the carrier or at such earlier time as ADI may request, Supplier will send ADI a complete set of shipping documents including but not limited to the commercial invoice, packing list, and air waybill, or three original parts of the combined through-bill of lading, clean without notation, necessary to release the Goods to ADI’s custody.
2.6. Supplier will (a) comply with the quality system and quality assurance procedures set forth in the Quality Manual made available to Supplier, and (b) participate in and accept the terms of ADI’s Cost of Poor Performance Program, which will be provided to Supplier upon request.
Supplier must immediately notify ADI in writing with all relevant information relating to any delay or threatened delay of the timely performance of this Purchase Order.
Neither party will be in default for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence, and which are unforeseeable, but any delay or failure to perform caused by the default of a sub tier supplier of Supplier will be excused only if (a) it is beyond the control of both Supplier and its sub-tier supplier(s) and without the fault or negligence of any of them, and (b) the Goods to be furnished cannot be obtained from other sources in sufficient time to permit Supplier to meet the delivery schedule. Supplier's ability to sell Goods at a more advantageous price or Supplier's economic hardship in buying materials or processing necessary for manufacture of the Goods will not constitute an excusable delay event. The party affected by an excusable delay will promptly provide written notice to the other, explaining in detail the full particulars and expected duration of the excusable delay, and will use its best efforts to mitigate the effects of the delay and to remedy the delay if it can be remedied. If Supplier's delivery is delayed, ADI may, at ADI's sole option cancel deliveries scheduled during the excusable delay period or elect to extend the period of performance to cover the period of delay caused by the excusable delay. If an excusable delay occurs that affects delivery of Goods to ADI, Supplier will allocate its available supply of Goods in a manner that assures ADI of at least the same proportion of Supplier's total output of Goods as was allocated to ADI before the excusable delay event. If delivery of any Goods is delayed for more than 30 days, ADI may, without liability, cancel all or any part of this Purchase Order.
If ADI, in its sole discretion, determines there is a significant risk that Supplier will fail to meet its performance or delivery requirements under this Purchase Order, ADI may require Supplier to perform under a ADI or ADI-approved Performance Assurance Plan. The Performance Assurance Plan may include specific reporting and performance requirements reasonably tailored to ensure Supplier’s adequate performance under identified provisions of this Purchase Order. Any failure by Supplier to satisfy the terms of the Performance Assurance Plan is a material breach of this Purchase Order.
6.1. If the Goods will be transported from Supplier's location in the U.S. to ADI's designated delivery location in the U.S., unless otherwise specified on the face of the Purchase Order or in a separate signed agreement, the F.O.B. (UCC terms) point is ADI's designated delivery location. When the F.O.B. point is Supplier's U.S. location, Supplier bears all risk of loss or damage to the Goods and title passes to ADI upon delivery of the Goods by Supplier to the carrier designated or approved by ADI. When the F.O.B. point is ADI's U.S. location, Supplier bears all risk of loss or damage to the Goods and title passes to ADI upon delivery of the Goods by Supplier at ADI's designated delivery location.
6.2. In all other cases, unless otherwise specified on the face of the Purchase Order or in a separate signed agreement, (a) Supplier will deliver the Goods DAP (INCOTERMS 2010) at ADI's designated delivery location, and (b) title to Goods passes to ADI upon receipt at ADI's designated delivery location.
6.3. The foregoing does not relieve Supplier of any responsibility for hidden damages discovered after acceptance of the Goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, title and risk of loss to Goods subject to a consignment, stocking or other replenishment agreement pass upon release of the Goods from consigned inventory or at such other time set forth in such consignment, stocking or other replenishment agreement. ADI may direct Supplier to ship the Goods to ADI or to any third party designated by ADI.
Supplier assumes all responsibility and liability for any shipments covered by this Purchase Order requiring any government import clearance. If government authorities declare or otherwise impose countervailing duties, antidumping duties, or retaliatory duties on the Goods imported under this Purchase Order, ADI reserves the right to terminate this Purchase Order under the Termination provisions of this Purchase Order. Supplier will be debited for any duties, fees, or freight incurred by ADI due to Supplier's failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Purchase Order.
To the extent applicable to any shipment of Goods to ADI or ADI’s designee, all drawback of duties, and rights thereto, related to duties paid by Supplier or ADI when the Goods are imported or any materials or components used in manufacturing of the Goods will accrue to the exclusive benefit of ADI. Duty drawback rights include rights developed by substitution and duty drawback rights obtained from sub- tier suppliers related to the Goods. Supplier will provide ADI with all documents, records, and other supporting information necessary to obtain any duty drawback, and will reasonably cooperate with ADI to obtain payment.
Supplier will assist ADI in obtaining credit from Supplier’s government for the value of relevant Goods purchased to meet any present or future contractual offer or industrial benefit requirements imposed upon ADI or its subsidiaries or affiliates, if any. Assistance includes, but is not limited to, providing upon ADI’s request evidence of the existence, value, content, and other pertinent information relating to the purchases. ADI reserves the right to claim these credits for itself or third parties. If Supplier awards any portion of the work under this Purchase Order to any lower tier supplier, Supplier will assign to ADI any credits obtained from the lower tier supplier’s government relating to this transaction, if any, and assist ADI in obtaining those credits.
10.1. Title to any material, components, tooling, equipment, or technical data that ADI pays for or provides to Supplier or is responsible for providing to Supplier, including replacements ("ADI Property"), will remain or vest with ADI. Supplier will conspicuously label ADI Property as such, maintain it in good working condition, keep written records of the ADI Property in its possession and the location of the property, not allow any liens to be placed upon it, not abandon ADI Property, prohibit any third party from using or taking possession of ADI Property and not change its location without prior written approval from ADI. Supplier is responsible for inspecting and determining that the ADI Property is in useable and acceptable condition.
10.2. Supplier shall obtain all permits and licenses necessary for the installation, operation, possession, and use of ADI Property. Supplier shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances applicable to the installation, use, operation of ADI Property.
10.3. Supplier will use ADI Property exclusively to fulfill ADI Purchase Orders unless otherwise authorized in writing by ADI’s procurement representative. ADI Property is intended for use at the Supplier’s site only or as otherwise authorized in writing by ADI’s procurement representative and, to the extent applicable, is subject to U.S. and other government export or re-export requirements. Supplier is responsible for any loss, damage, or destruction of ADI Property and any loss, bodily injury, damage or destruction resulting from Supplier’s use of ADI Property. Supplier shall provide for the service, repair, and maintenance of ADI Property, at its own expense, so as to keep ADI Property in as good condition, repair, appearance, and working order as when delivered to ADI hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Supplier shall, at its own expense, replace any and all parts and devices which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, or rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. All such replacement parts, mechanisms, and devices shall be free and clear of liens, encumbrances, and rights of others and shall become ADI Property. Supplier will not include the cost of any insurance for ADI Property in the prices charged under this Purchase Order and, to the extent that any Goods contain any ADI Property, will not include in the price of any such Good any mark-up or fee with respect to such ADI Property. Supplier will return ADI Property or dispose of it as ADI directs in writing. ADI makes no representations and disclaims all warranties (express or implied) with respect to ADI Property.
Supplier will furnish the Goods at the prices stated on the face of the Purchase Order. If prices are not stated on the face of the Purchase Order, Supplier will offer its lowest prices subject to written acceptance by ADI. Unless otherwise provided on the face of the Purchase Order, the prices include all packaging and freight to the specified delivery point; applicable taxes and other government charges including, but not limited to, all sales, use, or excise taxes; and all customs duties, fees, or charges that must be separately itemized on all invoices issued by the Supplier in terms of this Purchase Order. To the extent that value added tax (or any equivalent tax) is properly chargeable on the supply to ADI of any Goods, ADI will pay the tax as /an addition to payments otherwise due Supplier under this Purchase Order, if Supplier provides to ADI a value-added tax (or equivalent tax) invoice. To the extent ADI has not received from Supplier all applicable forms regarding compliance with applicable tax law, ADI reserves the right to deduct from any payment to Supplier pursuant to this Purchase Order those amounts that ADI, in its sole discretion, deems to be required to be withheld in order to comply with the tax laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Upon the agreement of the parties to reduced pricing for the Goods, such pricing shall immediately apply to all Goods in consignment, stocking or replenishment arrangement with Supplier, all undelivered Goods, all open and unfilled Purchase Orders, all future Purchase Orders and all unconsumed inventory owned by ADI.
Supplier warrants that the prices charged for the Goods delivered under this Purchase Order are the lowest prices charged by Supplier for similar goods. If Supplier charges a lower price for similar goods, Supplier must notify ADI and apply that price to all Goods ordered under this Purchase Order by immediately paying ADI the price difference and applying the lower price to all Purchase Orders. If at any time before full performance of this Purchase Order ADI notifies Supplier in writing that ADI has received a written offer from another supplier for similar goods at a price lower than the price set forth in this Purchase Order, Supplier must immediately meet the lower price for any undelivered Goods. If Supplier fails to meet the lower price, in addition to other rights or remedies, ADI, at its option, may immediately terminate the balance of the Purchase Order without liability. As directed by ADI, Supplier will provide the Goods at the prices listed on the face of this Purchase Order, subject to these terms and conditions, to other ADI divisions and affiliates and any third-party ADI sub-supplier or designee.
After each shipment made or service provided, Supplier will submit to the address indicated on the Purchase Order an invoice listing a description of the Goods provided and, as applicable, part numbers, quantity, unit of measure, hours, and the unit and total prices. Supplier must provide invoices in no event more than 90 days after delivery of Goods to ADI otherwise Supplier waives its right to payment. This invoice must match the corresponding Purchase Order pricing, quantities, and terms, and must be sent to the invoice address listed on the Purchase Order. All applicable taxes and other Government charges including, but not limited to, sales, use, or excise taxes, value added tax, customs duties, fees and all incidental charges including but not limited to royalties, selling commissions, nonrecurring engineering, or other incidental charges must be separately itemized and identified on the invoice. The invoice must also include the following information in English, or in the destination country’s official language if required: (a) name and address of Supplier and the ADI entity purchasing the Goods; (b) name of shipper (if different from Supplier); (c) ADI’s Purchase Order number(s); (d) country of export; (e) detailed description of the Goods; (f) Harmonized Tariff Schedule number; (g) country of origin (manufacture) of the Goods, or if multiple countries of origin, the country of origin of each part shipped; (h) weights of the Goods shipped; (i) currency in which the sale was made; (j) payment terms; (k) shipment terms used; and (l) all rebates or discounts. If an invoice does not comply with the above requirements or is exhausted (out of funds or paid in full), or the invoice contains quantities or prices greater than the ones reflected on the Purchase Order the invoice will be rejected by ADI. The invoice will be accompanied (if applicable) by a signed bill of lading or express receipt evidencing shipment. Payment of an invoice does not constitute acceptance of the Goods and is subject to appropriate adjustment should Supplier fail to meet the requirements of the Purchase Order. Payment terms are net 120 days from receipt of correct invoice and conforming Goods unless otherwise stated on the face of the Purchase Order or other written agreement executed by both parties; provided, however, that in the event that applicable law requires a payment terms period of shorter duration, payment terms shall be the maximum period allowed by applicable law. Invoices will not be approved unless they accurately reference conforming Goods received by ADI or services satisfactorily performed for ADI, as well as a valid Purchase Order number, supplier name and address, line description, quantity at line level, price at line level, withholding rates and/or amounts for applicable taxes. Payment will be scheduled for the next payment cycle following the net terms for the Purchase Order.
ADI may deduct any amount owing from Supplier to ADI as a set off against any amount owing to Supplier under this Purchase Order.
15.1. All Goods may be inspected and tested by ADI, its customers, higher-tier contractors, and end users at all reasonable times and places. If inspection or testing is made at Supplier's premises, Supplier will provide, without charge, all reasonable facilities and assistance required for the inspection and tests. Supplier's standard inspection and testing system must be approved by ADI in writing. All inspection and testing records, including sub-tier supplier records relating to the Goods, will be maintained by Supplier and made available to ADI during the performance of this Purchase Order, and for such longer periods if specified by ADI.
15.2. Final inspection and acceptance by ADI will be at destination unless otherwise specified in this Purchase Order. ADI may inspect all or a sample of Goods, and may reject all or any portion of the Goods within 90 days of delivery if ADI determines the Goods are defective or nonconforming. If ADI performs any inspection (other than the standard inspection) after discovering defective or nonconforming Goods, any additional inspection costs will be paid by Supplier. No inspection, tests, approval, design approval, or acceptance of the Goods relieves Supplier from responsibility for warranty or any defects (latent or otherwise), fraud, or negligence. ADI reserves the absolute right to refuse acceptance of, or reject and return to Supplier at Supplier's sole cost and expense any material, Goods that fail to conform to any applicable laws or regulations, or for which Supplier fails to package, ship, label or provide proper notice to ADI as required by any applicable law or regulation. If Goods are defective or nonconforming, ADI may, by written notice to Supplier: (a) rescind this Purchase Order as to the Goods; (b) accept the Goods at an equitable reduction in price; or (c) reject the Goods and require the delivery of replacements. Delivery of replacements will be accompanied by a written notice specifying that the Goods are replacements. If Supplier fails to deliver required replacements promptly, ADI may: (1) correct any retained defective or nonconforming Goods at Supplier’s expense; (2) replace them with Goods from another supplier and charge the Supplier the cost thereof, including cover, and any incidental costs; or (3) terminate this Purchase Order for cause.
16.1. Supplier warrants to ADI, its successors, assigns, customers, and end users that during the entire Warranty Period specified below, all Goods furnished (including all replacement or corrected Goods or components and regardless of whether all or any part of such furnished Goods or any replacement or corrected Goods was manufactured, distributed or otherwise commercialized by a third party prior to delivery by or on behalf of Supplier to ADI) will (a) be new, (b) be free from defects in material, workmanship, and design, even if the design has been approved by ADI, (c) conform to applicable drawings, designs, quality control plans, specifications and samples and other descriptions furnished or specified by ADI, (d) not be or contain Counterfeit Items (as defined below), (e) be and only contain materials directly obtained from the original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") or a reseller authorized by the OEM, (f) be merchantable, (g) be fit for the intended purposes and operate as intended, (h) comply with all laws and regulations, (i) be free and clear of any and all liens or other encumbrances, (j) contain only authentic, unaltered OEM labels and markings, and (k) not infringe any patent, published patent application, or other intellectual property rights of any third party and not utilize misappropriated third party trade secret information. Goods that fail to meet the preceding standards are collectively called "non-conforming Goods." "Counterfeit Items" mean Components (as defined below), Goods and software incorporated in a Good or Component that (i) are unauthorized copies or substitutes of an OEM item; (ii) are not produced in accordance with, or do not contain the proper materials or components as specified on, the OEM’s specifications or design; (iii) are used, refurbished, or reclaimed, but which are represented as being new; or (iv) are labeled, logoed or marked to mislead or deceive a reasonable person into believing a non-OEM item is genuine. Supplier must obtain third party warranties consistent with Section 16 for all raw materials, components, and services required by Supplier to perform under this Agreement ("Components") and Supplier is solely responsible for ensuring that all Components meet these requirements.
Any Component that fails to meet these requirements will be deemed to be a non-conforming Good. Supplier will promptly notify ADI in writing upon Supplier discovering that it has, or suspects that it may have, delivered a non-conforming Good or Counterfeit Item.
16.2. As to services, in addition to any express or implied warranties, Supplier warrants that (a) it possesses the requisite expertise, facilities and equipment necessary and appropriate to perform the services, (b) the services will be performed in a safe and workmanlike manner, and (c) the services will be performed in accordance with the highest standards in the industry.
16.3. The Warranty Period is 36 months from the date of delivery to the end user or such longer period of time mandated by any longer government requirement covering the Goods. In addition to the warranties described above, Supplier also warrants all Goods to the same extent and for the same time period (if extending beyond 36 months) as the warranties provided by ADI to ADI’s customers relating to such Goods. These warranties are for the benefit of ADI, ADI’s customers, and any other person claiming by or through ADI. These warranties will survive any delivery, inspection, acceptance, or payment by ADI. Claims for breach of warranty do not accrue until discovery of nonconformance, even if the Goods were previously inspected. Any applicable statute of limitations runs from the date of discovery. If conforming Goods are not furnished within the time specified by ADI then ADI may, at its election, have the nonconforming Goods repaired, replaced, or corrected at Supplier’s expense or credited to ADI. Supplier is responsible for the costs of repairing, replacing or correcting nonconforming Goods or crediting them to ADI, and for all related costs, expenses and damages including, but not limited to, the costs of removal, disassembly, failure analysis, fault isolation, reinstallation, re-inspection, and retrofit of the nonconforming Goods or of ADI’s affected end-product; all freight charges, including but not limited to incremental freight expenses incurred by ADI for shipments of repaired, replaced, or corrected Goods to ADI and for shipments of repaired, replaced, or corrected Goods or finished product containing or incorporating repaired, replaced, or corrected Goods from ADI to any customer of ADI; all customer charges; and all corrective action costs. Unless set off by ADI, Supplier will reimburse ADI for all such costs upon receipt of ADI’s invoice. Any replacement Goods are warranted for the same period as the original Goods. Additionally, if any services are found not to be performed as warranted within a period of 36 months after the conclusion of the performance of the services by Supplier, ADI may direct Supplier to either refund to ADI the amount paid for the services, or perform the services again in a proper manner to the extent necessary to provide ADI with the result originally contemplated by ADI. The warranties and rights provided are cumulative and in addition to any warranty provided by law or equity.
16.4. If, following delivery, Goods exhibit a substantially similar repetitive root cause, failure mode or defect indicating a common or systemic failure ("Epidemic Failure"), then, without prejudice to ADI’s rights under Section 22: (a) the party discovering the failure will promptly notify the other and Supplier will provide to ADI a preliminary plan for problem diagnosis within one business day of such notification, which plan Supplier will revise at ADI’s request; (b) Supplier and ADI will diagnose the problem, plan an initial work-around and effect a permanent solution; (c) Supplier and ADI will agree on a plan for customer notification, replacement scheduling and remediation, including identification of suspect population, field removal, return and reinstallation, work in process ("WIP"), inventory replacement, and repair, or retrofitting, regardless of location or status of WIP completion; and (d) Supplier is responsible for all costs and damages associated with any Epidemic Failure. ADI and Supplier will work together in good faith to establish and expeditiously implement an Epidemic Failure action plan. If Supplier or any of its Component suppliers initiate any Product or Component recalls, retrofits, or service bulletins that affect Product quality, Supplier will immediately communicate this information to ADI.
16.5. No part of any software or other deliverables delivered by Supplier under this Purchase Order shall contain any software or component licensed or obtained under any Open Source licensing program. "Open Source" shall mean any software or other material that is distributed as "free software", "open source software" or under a similar licensing or distribution model (including but not limited to the GNU General Public License (GPL), GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), Mozilla Public License (MPL), and the Apache License) If Supplier uses Open Source in any software or deliverable, Supplier must first seek written approval from ADI and if approved, Supplier must identify each Open Source item along with the applicable license terms. For any such approved Open Source, Supplier represents that (a) Supplier is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all applicable licenses for Open Source and (b) ADI's use of such Open Source (i) will not adversely impact ADI's proprietary software (ii) will not require ADI to make available the source code for any ADI propriety software (iii) will not prohibit or limit ADI from charging a fee in connection with sublicensing or distributing the software.
16.6. Goods covered by this Purchase Order will comply with all applicable treaties, laws, regulations of the place of manufacture and Canadian, European Union and U.S. state and federal laws, regulations and standards (a) concerning the importation, sale, design, manufacture, packaging and labeling of its Goods, (b) regulating the sale of Goods, and (c) relating to the environment and/or the toxic or hazardous nature of Goods or their constituents, including (without limitation) the U.S. Toxic Substances Act, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act, the U.S. Hazardous Communication Standard, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the California Proposition 65, European ROHS standards, and other current and subsequently applicable requirements; and Supplier agrees that it shall furnish promptly on request and provide all information and certifications evidencing compliance with such laws, regulations, standards and requirements.
16.7. Supplier represents and warrants that there is nothing that will directly, indirectly, actually or potentially restrict or prevent Supplier in any way from fulfilling all its obligations, duties and services under this Purchase Order, including without limitation any exclusivity or non-compete arrangement.
ADI may, by written or electronic notification, direct changes in the drawings, designs, specifications, method of shipment or packing, quantity, or time or place of delivery of the Goods; reschedule the services; or require additional or diminished services. Only authorized ADI procurement representatives may issue changes to the Purchase Order. If any change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, performing this Purchase Order, an equitable adjustment will be made in the Purchase Order price, delivery dates or both, and this Purchase Order will be modified in writing or electronically accordingly. Any claim by Supplier for adjustment under this provision may be deemed to be waived unless asserted in writing (including the amount of the claim and adequate supporting documentation) and delivered to ADI within 30 days from the date of the receipt by Supplier of the ADI-directed change to the Purchase Order. If ADI compensates Supplier for property made obsolete or excess by a change, ADI may prescribe the manner of disposition of the property. Notwithstanding any disagreement between the parties regarding the impact of a change, Supplier will proceed diligently with its performance under this Purchase Order pending resolution of the disagreement.
18.1 Supplier will make no changes in the design, materials, manufacturing location, manufacturing equipment, production process, changes between a manual and automated process, or any other processes related to the Goods specified in the Purchase Order or documents referenced in it, or if none, those in place when the Purchase Order is issued, without the advance written approval of ADI’s procurement representative. This requirement applies whether or not the change affects costs and regardless of the type of change, including product improvements.
18.2 To request approval to change a manufacturing location or subcontracting of process required to manufacture Goods, Supplier must provide ADI with a plan at least 180 days prior to the proposed start date of implementing such change in the manufacturing location or subcontracting of process required for the Goods. Any such plan is subject to ADI's written approval, and must result in a reduction in price charged by Supplier to ADI for Goods, and must demonstrate that supplier has taken all necessary actions to avoid negative impacts to ADI, including but not limited to maintaining additional inventory, overlapping production schedules, etc. Such price reductions will be agreed to by Supplier and ADI prior to implementation.
18.3 Supplier will be responsible for any and all of ADI’s costs incurred as a result of changes implemented by Supplier including but not limited to all customer charges; all labour costs, including engineering costs, travel and lodging; all costs to transition to an alternative source of supply; redesign and/or recertification; and all corrective action.
18.4 Supplier will flow down this requirement in all its subcontracts and purchase orders for purchased goods or process-related services required for the Goods. Whether such Goods are supplied to Supplier as an end item, a component part of an end item or an individual piece part.
At any time by written notice and at no cost, ADI may require Supplier to stop all or any part of the work under this Purchase Order for up to 120 days ("Stop Work Order"), and for any further period as mutually agreed. Immediately upon receipt of a Stop Work Order, Supplier will comply with its terms. At any time ADI may, in whole or in part, either cancel the Stop Work Order or terminate the work under the Termination section of this Purchase Order. To the extent the Stop Work Order is canceled or expires, Supplier must immediately resume work.
20.1. The non-breaching party may terminate this Purchase Order if the other party commits a material breach and fails to remedy the breach within 30 days following receipt of written notice specifying the grounds for the breach, except in the case of breach related to safety, health, or security or any misuse or disclosure of ADI’s intellectual property rights or Confidential Information, ADI will have the right to immediately terminate the Purchase Order. A material breach includes, but is not limited to, late delivery or delivery of nonconforming Goods. If Supplier breaches its obligations to ADI and ADI terminates this Purchase Order in whole or in part, ADI may charge Supplier for any additional cost it incurs in performing Supplier’s obligations or in having such obligations performed by a third party. The solvent party may terminate this Purchase Order upon written notice if the other party becomes insolvent or if any petition is filed or proceedings commenced by or against that party relating to bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, or assignment for the benefit of creditors. If a termination by ADI for breach by Supplier is determined to have lacked cause, such termination will be treated as a termination without cause under Section 20.2.
20.2. Notwithstanding any firm time period or quantity on the face of the Purchase Order, ADI may terminate this Purchase Order in whole or in part at any time with or without cause for undelivered Goods or unperformed services upon 10 days’ prior written notice.
20.3. If ADI terminates this Purchase Order under either 20.1 or 20.2, ADI’s sole liability to Supplier, and Supplier’s sole and exclusive remedy, is payment for Goods received and accepted by ADI before the date of termination. If ADI terminates this Purchase Order under Section 20.2 above, ADI’s sole liability to Supplier, and Supplier’s sole and exclusive remedy, is payment for (A) Goods received and accepted by ADI before the date of termination, and (B) with respect to custom Goods that are within lead time under the terminated Purchase Order, unique raw materials, work in progress and finished Goods, which shall be delivered to ADI. The payment can be set off against any damages to ADI. Upon termination, ADI may require Supplier to transfer title and deliver to ADI any completed Goods and ADI will pay the Purchase Order price for those Goods subject to set off against any damages to ADI.
