If OEM advises Supplier of a material error, (i) any amounts corrected by Supplier in writing must be paid within fourteen days of correction, and (ii) all other amounts shall be paid by OEM by the due date. If OEM withholds payment because OEM believes an invoiced amount is incorrect, and Supplier concludes that the amount is accurate, OEM must pay interest as described in this Section from the due date for the amount until Supplier’s receipt of payment. OEM may not offset, defer or deduct any invoiced amounts that Supplier determines are correct following the notification process stated above. Supplier, without waiving any other rights or remedies and without liability to OEM, may suspend any or all Services until all overdue amounts are paid in full.
  2. Taxes. OEM is responsible for payment of any sales, use, value added, GST, and any other similar taxes or governmental fees associated with OEM’s Order, except for taxes based on Supplier’s net income, gross revenue, or employment obligations. OEM must also pay all freight, insurance, and applicable taxes (which may include but shall not be limited to import or export duties, sales, use, value add, and excise taxes). If Supplier is obligated by applicable law to collect and remit any taxes or fees, then Supplier will add the appropriate amount to OEM’s invoices as a separate line item.  If OEM qualifies for a tax exemption, OEM must provide Supplier with a valid certificate of exemption or other appropriate proof of exemption.  If OEM is required by law to make a withholding or deduction from payment, OEM will make payments to Supplier net of the required withholding or deduction, and will provide to Supplier satisfactory evidence (e.g., official withholding tax receipts) that OEM has accounted to the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted. If OEM does not provide the information within sixty days of remittance to the applicable tax authority, Supplier will charge OEM for the amount that OEM deducted for the transaction.

Warranty Remedies.  Supplier’s sole obligations is, at its option, to repair or replace Standard Products that do not conform to the Warranty, using new or refurbished parts or Products, or to provide a reasonable depreciated refund to OEM.  Supplier assumes no obligation to repair Third Party Products, non-warranted defects in Standard Products, or any defects in Standard Products after the warranty or support period has expired.
  6. Third Party Product Warranty.  Third Party Products may carry with them a warranty from the original manufacturer or licensor (“Third Party Warranty”).  Supplier is not responsible for fulfillment of any Third Party Warranty or for problems attributable to the use of Third Party Products.  OEM will rely solely on the issuer of any Third Party Warranty for all obligations under the Third Party Warranty.

  3. Survival.  The provisions relating to payment of outstanding fees, records and audit, confidentiality, and liability, all rights of action accruing prior to termination, along with any other provision of the OTS that, expressly, or by its nature and context, is intended to survive, will survive termination.

9.       INDEMNITY

  1. Supplier Indemnity.  Supplier will: (i) defend OEM against any third-party claim that Standard Products or Support Services (but excluding any Products provided for evaluation or without charge and open source software) infringe that party’s patent, copyright, or trade secret enforceable in the country where OEM purchased the Standard Product from Supplier (“Claim”); and (ii) indemnify OEM by paying: (ii)(a) the resulting costs and damages finally awarded against OEM by a court of competent jurisdiction to the extent that such are the result of the third party Claim; or (ii)(b) the amounts stated in a written settlement negotiated and approved by Supplier.

  4. Confidential Information.
  1. “Confidential Information” is any information, technical data, or know-how furnished, whether in written, oral, electronic, website-based, or other form, by the discloser to the recipient that: (i) is marked, accompanied, or supported by documents clearly and conspicuously designating the documents as "confidential", “internal use”, or the equivalent; (ii) is identified by the discloser as confidential before, during, or promptly after the presentation or communication; or (iii) should reasonably be known by recipient to be confidential.
  2. This OTS imposes no obligation upon a recipient with respect to information designated as confidential which: (i) the recipient can demonstrate was already in its possession before receipt from the discloser; (ii) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the recipient or its Representatives (defined below); (iii) is rightfully received by the recipient from a third party who has no duty of confidentiality; (iv) is disclosed by the discloser to a third party without a duty of confidentiality on the third party; or (v) is independently developed by the recipient without a breach of the OTS.
  3. If a recipient is required by a government body or court of law to disclose Confidential Information, to the extent permitted by law, the recipient agrees to give the discloser reasonable advance notice so that the discloser may contest the disclosure or seek a protective order. Recipient will use Confidential Information only for the purpose of and in connection with the evaluation of a potential, or continuation of, a business transaction or relationship between the parties. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its directors, officers, employees, and employees of its Affiliates, as well as its and its Affiliates’ contractors, advisors, and agents, so long as those individuals have a need to know in their work for recipient in furtherance of the potential or continued business transaction or relationship, and are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those imposed on recipient in this OTS (collectively, “Representatives”).  Recipient is fully liable for any breach of this OTS by its Representatives. Recipient will use the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, as the recipient uses with respect to its own similar information to protect the Confidential Information.  Recipient may only disclose Confidential Information as authorized by this OTS. The terms of this OTS do not restrict the right of recipient to independently design, develop, acquire, market, service, or otherwise deal in, directly or indirectly, products or services competitive with those of the discloser so long as the recipient does not use any of the discloser's Confidential Information for those activities.  Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, a recipient's duty to protect Confidential Information expires three years from the date of disclosure. However, subject to the terms of this Section, the obligation to protect technical information about a discloser’s current products and services and all information about possible unreleased products or services never expires. Upon the discloser's written request, recipient will promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information received from the discloser, together with all copies. Notwithstanding the above, recipient’s professional advisors (e.g., lawyers and accountants) may retain in confidence one file copy of their respective work papers and final reports in accordance with their professional and ethical obligations.

14.     MISCELLANEOUS

  1. References.  Supplier may identify OEM as a user of Products, Services, or both, as applicable.

  4. Assignment and Subcontracting.  Neither party shall assign this OTS nor a Purchase Contract or any right or obligation herein or delegate any performance without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  5. GOVERNING LAW; INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ATTORNEY’S FEES. This Agreement, and any dispute, claim, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) related to or arising out of the Agreement or any quote or Order (“Dispute”) is governed by the laws of the State of Texas and the federal laws of the United States (or the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada, if you are a Canadian entity), without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Furthermore, the parties agree that the provisions of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (“UCITA”) do not apply to this Agreement, and the parties waive any and all rights they may have under any laws(s) adopting UCITA in any form. To the extent permitted by law, the state and federal courts located in Texas (or in Toronto, Ontario, if you are a Canadian entity) will have exclusive jurisdiction for any Disputes. You and Supplier agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Travis or Williamson County, Texas, (or in Toronto, Ontario, if you are a Canadian entity) and agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over the parties by those courts and to venue in those courts. The parties agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial with respect to any Dispute. Neither Supplier nor you are entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against other customers or resellers, or pursue any claim as a representative or class action, or in private attorney general capacity. As a condition precedent to filing any lawsuit, the parties will attempt to resolve any Dispute against one or more Supplier or Supplier Affiliate through negotiation with persons fully authorized to resolve the Dispute, or through mediation utilizing a mutually agreeable mediator, rather than through litigation. The existence or results of any negotiation or mediation will be treated as confidential. Although the merits of the underlying Dispute will be resolved in accordance with this Section 15, any party has the right to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo, prevent irreparable harm, avoid the expiration of any applicable limitation periods, or preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty days (or other mutually agreed time) of notice of the Dispute to the other party, the parties will be free to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity. In any Dispute (other than Supplier’s efforts to collect overdue amounts from you) each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs and expressly waives any statutory right to attorneys’ fees under § 38.001 of the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code. Waiver. Failure to enforce a provision of the OTS will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision of the OTS.
  6.  Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors for all purposes under the OTS and cannot obligate any other party without prior written approval. The parties do not intend anything in the OTS to allow any party to act as an agent or representative of a party, or the parties to act as joint venturers or partners for any purpose. No party is responsible for the acts or omissions of any other.
  7. Insurance.  OEM agrees to obtain and maintain during the term of this Agreement, commercial general liability, including products liability, insurance in a minimum amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with an insurance company having a Best rating of A- or better.  Upon Supplier’s request, OEM shall provide to Supplier a certificate of the above-mentioned insurance and shall provide copies of any new or amended certificates of insurance to Supplier.  In addition, OEM shall name Supplier as an additional insured on all commercial general liability insurance policies procured in accordance with this section.  OEM shall give Supplier at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or termination of insurance required by this section.
  8. Severability. If any part of the OTS or document that incorporates the OTS by reference is held unenforceable, the validity of all remaining parts will not be affected.
  9. Entire Agreement. This OTS (including the General Terms and Products and Services Schedules) and each Purchase Contract hereunder comprise the complete statement of the agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter thereof and may be modified only by written agreement.
  10. Conflicts. If there is a conflict between any Service Agreement and the OTS, the terms of the Service Agreement will take precedence, and in the event of any conflicts between a Product or Service Schedule and the General Terms, the Product or Service Schedule will prevail. In the event that a subject is addressed in both the Supplier Software license agreement provided in or with the Software and the OTS or in any Product or Service Schedule, then the corresponding provision of the Supplier Software license agreement will prevail.
  11. Federal Transactions. OEM is not authorized by Supplier or this Agreement to sell or provide, directly or indirectly, Products or Services to any department, agency, division, or office of the federal government of the United States (collectively, “Federal End Users”). OEM must obtain written authorization from Supplier’s U.S. Federal Sales team to purchase Products and Services for resale to Federal End Users. All United States Government Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), agency FAR supplement clauses, Federal End User terms and flowdown provisions, and any terms and conditions relating to ITAR – whether they are contained or referenced in OEM’s purchase orders or other communications – are specifically rejected by Supplier and shall not apply to or bind Supplier. Supplier shall have no liability for providing products or services that do not comply with the Trade Agreements Act, Buy American Act, or any other federal government procurement regulations, including but not limited to UID, IPV6, RFID, Energy Star, EPEAT, counterfeit products, information assurance, and DPAS.
  12. U.S. Government Data Rights.  The Software and Documentation are “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as those terms are defined in the U.S. Government Federal Acquisition Regulations.  Supplier provides products for ultimate federal government end use solely in accordance with the following: Government technical data and software rights in these products include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in this Agreement.  This customary commercial license in technical data and software is provided in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and FAR 12.212 (Software) and, for Department of Defense transactions, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data – Commercial Items) and DFAR 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or Computer Software Documentation).
