10.  SERVICES/LIENS; SITE RULES

Seller agrees to include this clause in any subcontracts issued hereunder.

12.  TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE Buyer may, by written notice to Seller specifying the extent of termination and the effective date, terminate the Purchase Agreement, or its purchase of any quantity of products or services thereunder, for convenience, and Buyer and Seller shall negotiate reasonable termination costs consistent with the cost of materials and labor incurred (and not otherwise mitigated) on ordered products or services prior to the date of Buyer’s termination notice, provided Seller takes all steps reasonably necessary to mitigate such costs. Seller will notify Buyer of its actual cost of such material and labor incurred within thirty (30) days after termination.

13.  TERMINATION FOR CAUSE In the event:

(a)  Seller fails to complete or deliver any part of the products or services hereunder when required;

(b)  Seller is otherwise in breach of any material term of the Purchase Agreement;

(c)  Buyer determines any of Seller’s representations, warranties, certifications or covenants to be untrue; or

(d)  If the Seller can no longer operate normally, fails to meet financial obligations, enters bankruptcy, or assigns assets for creditor benefit, the Buyer can immediately terminate the Purchase Agreement without further payment to the Seller. The Seller must then compensate the Buyer for any damages incurred. Upon receiving a termination notice, the Seller must stop all work, halt further orders or subcontracts, and terminate existing subcontracts related to the work. The Seller is also required to hand over all completed work, work in progress, and related documentation to the Buyer.

14.  FORCE MAJEURE Performance delays or failures due to force majeure, such as natural disasters, strikes, government actions, or pandemics, are excused under this agreement. Economic challenges or better market opportunities don't qualify as force majeure. The affected party must notify the other party promptly with details and expected duration and make reasonable efforts to resolve the issue. If the force majeure event continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate the agreement without penalty. During a force majeure, the Buyer can source products or services from other suppliers. If the Seller’s production is impacted, they must allocate products fairly, ensuring the Buyer receives a proportional share. The Seller is also required to attempt to source alternative products at their own expense. All sourced products must meet the agreed specifications and quality standards. If the Seller cannot deliver, the Buyer has the right to procure products from other sources. The agreement seeks to balance the risks and responsibilities of both parties during unforeseen events.

15.  OTHER TERMS

(a)  The failure of Buyer to enforce at any time or for any period of time any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions nor the right of Buyer thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. Any check or approval of drawings by Buyer will be for Seller’s convenience and will not relieve Seller of its responsibility to meet all requirements of the Purchase Agreement. No claim or right arising out of a breach of this order can be discharged in whole or part by a waiver of the claim or right unless the waiver is supported by consideration and is in writing signed by the aggrieved party.

(b)  Any rights or remedies of Buyer set forth in the Purchase Agreement are not exclusive and Buyer also has all rights and remedies available under applicable law.

(c)  Seller may not assign or subcontract its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Buyer, and if Seller attempts to do so, the assignment or subcontract will be void.

(d)  Seller shall provide products and services hereunder as an independent contractor and not as Buyer’s agent or employee.

(e)  The provisions of these Terms and Conditions which by their nature should apply beyond the expiration or termination of the Purchase Agreement will remain in force after any termination or expiration of the Purchase Agreement, to allow the parties to enforce their rights and remedies.

(f)  The invalidity, in whole or in part, of any of the paragraphs of the Purchase Agreement (or any of these Terms and Conditions) shall not affect the remainder of such paragraphs or any other paragraph of the Purchase Agreement or these Terms and Conditions.
