Customer will promptly inspect all products delivered to it by Nanosonics.

  6. Force Majeure: Nanosonics will not be liable for any delay or failure in performance of any order, in the delivery or shipment of any product or for any damages or losses suffered by Customer or any third party which are caused by, or in any manner arise from, directly or indirectly, any labor disturbances, embargos, riots, storms, fires, explosions, acts of God or public enemies, inability to obtain necessary labor or raw materials, accidents or breakdown to, or mechanical failure of, machinery or equipment, changes in economic conditions, delays or interruptions in transportation or any other causes beyond Nanosonics’ control.

Upon the return of the defective product, by Customer to Nanosonics, Nanosonics will, at its sole option, repair or replace the defective product. Any defective product that is repaired or replaced is warranted only for the balance of the initial warranty period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nanosonics does not warrant, and such limited warranty will be null and void, if the product fails to perform or is defective because of accident, casualty, misuse, abuse, fire, alteration, liquid damage, lightening, Act of God or public enemy, vandalism, tampering or because of improper setup, operation, repair, maintenance, testing or unauthorized service. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THE PRODUCT(S) AND IS MADE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

  8. Limitation of Liability; Exclusion of Damages: Nanosonics’ liability with respect to any claim by Customer or any third party arising out of or in any way relating to any product or services sold by Nanosonics to Customer (including without limitation such product’s sale, or use) will be limited solely to the cost of such product. NANOSONICS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER LOSSES OF CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE SALE, OR USE OF SUCH

  9. Confidential Information: Nanosonics’ technical, trade secret, proprietary or similar information contained in plans, drawings, specifications, photographs and other documents (collectively, “Confidential Information”) disclosed or furnished by Nanosonics to Customer or its officers, directors, employees or agents (collectively, “Representatives”) and all copies thereof, including without limitation any and all materials of any kind containing or embodying any Confidential Information, are the sole and exclusive property of Nanosonics. Disclosure of Confidential Information by Nanosonics to Customer or its Representatives will not be construed as granting to Customer or its Representatives either expressly or by implication, any right, title or interest of any kind in any Confidential Information. Upon Nanosonics’ request, Customer will promptly deliver to Nanosonics all of the Confidential Information in Customer’s possession or under Customer’s control (including without limitation Confidential Information in the possession or under the control of any of Customer’s Representatives), whether in written, electronically-readable or other form, including without limitation all copies or extracts thereof or based thereon. All Confidential Information will be kept confidential by Customer and will not be disclosed to any person or entity without Nanosonics’ prior written consent, except that Customer may disclose the Confidential Information or portions thereof to those of its Representatives who reasonably need to know such information for legitimate business reasons; provided, however, that Customer will be responsible for any breach of this covenant by it or any of its Representatives and will indemnify and hold harmless Nanosonics and its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Nanosonics Indemnified Parties”) for any costs, expenses or losses incurred or suffered by any of them as a result of such breach. Customer (a) acknowledges that a failure to comply with this Section 9 will cause Nanosonics irreparable harm and that a remedy at law for such a failure would be an inadequate remedy for Nanosonics and (b) consents to Nanosonics’ obtaining from a court having jurisdiction, specific performance, an injunction, a restraining order or any other equitable relief in order to enforce such provision. Nanosonics’ right to seek and obtain any such relief is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy to which it is entitled under applicable law (including without limitation monetary damages).

  10. Default: If Customer (a) fails to pay all or any part of any invoice when due, (b) fails to observe or perform any of its other obligations under these Terms or (c) becomes insolvent, is adjudicated a bankrupt, voluntarily files or permits the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, seeks any similar relief under any bankruptcy laws or related statutes or a receiver is appointed for its assets, then Nanosonics may declare an event of default. After an event of default, all sums due or to become due from Customer to Nanosonics may, at Nanosonics’ sole option, become immediately due and payable and concurrently, or in the alternative, Nanosonics may at its sole option terminate any existing order(s) between the Parties and exercise any other remedies available to Nanosonics under applicable law, including without limitation, repossession of Nanosonics’ product(s) in accordance with State and Federal law. If Nanosonics does repossess such product(s), it is agreed that these Terms will no longer be in effect but that Customer will remain liable for any past due payments, including interest if applicable and for any loss or damage which may have occurred to the equipment while in the possession of Customer. Risk of loss is to remain with Customer until the product(s) are returned to the possession of Nanosonics.

  11. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification: Customer will be responsible for all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Nanosonics in enforcing any term or condition in these Terms and Customer will indemnify and hold harmless and promptly reimburse Nanosonics for such costs and expenses. If Nanosonics is made a defendant in any proceeding, action or arbitration by Customer, any person or entity deriving title from Customer or any other third party on the basis of breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability, tort or any other theory, and if no award or judgment is made or rendered against Nanosonics, Customer will indemnify and hold harmless the Nanosonics Indemnified Parties from all costs and expenses incurred by any of them in connection with such proceeding, action or arbitration, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

  12. Cancellation and Return: Any contract or order may be cancelled by Customer only with the prior written consent of Nanosonics and upon reimbursement to Nanosonics for all costs, expenses and losses incurred by Nanosonics as a result of such cancellation, including without limitation a reasonable profit and overhead. Except for reasons as set forth in paragraph 5, Customer may only return an order with the prior written consent of Nanosonics. If the product(s) ordered are returned with Nanosonics’ consent, Customer shall bear the risk of loss until such product(s) are returned to the possession of Nanosonics. Customer shall also be responsible for the costs of such return to Nanosonics.

  13. Governing Law; Language; Jurisdiction; Venue: Nanosonics’ quotation, invoice, these Terms and Nanosonics’ order acknowledgment are governed by and must be construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the applicable state court located in the State of Delaware for any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the sale of Nanosonics’ products to Customer, (b) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such courts and (c) waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient

  14. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Customer will comply with all federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances applicable to its business and activities and will indemnify Nanosonics for any and all claims, damages, penalties, assessments and liabilities imposed on Nanosonics relating to or resulting from Customer’s failure to comply with such applicable laws, regulations and ordinances. Customer acknowledges that the products are or may be subject to the regulation of the FDA or other Federal or State Agencies. Customer shall not use or permit the products to be used in a manner that does not comply with applicable FDA or other regulations or for any non-medical, entertainment or amusement purposes.

  15. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver: Nanosonics’ quotation, invoice, these Terms and Nanosonics’ order acknowledgement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the sale of Nanosonics’ products to Customer, superseding all prior representations, agreements or understandings, written or oral, between the Parties with respect to such sale. These Terms cannot be amended orally or by any course of conduct by either Party but may only be amended by a written agreement executed by the Parties. The failure by Nanosonics to (a) enforce any provision hereof will not be construed as a waiver of such provision or of Nanosonics’ right to enforce such provision and (b) object to provisions contained in any purchase order or other communication from Customer will not be construed as a waiver of these Terms nor an acceptance of any such Customer provisions.

  16. Successors and Assigns; Assignment: These Terms will be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Customer shall not assign any of its rights or duties hereunder without Nanosonics’ prior written consent, which consent may not be reasonably withheld.
