Les pr\u00e9sentes modalit\u00e9s et conditions (les \u00ab Modalit\u00e9s \u00bb) r\u00e9gissent la vente de produits (les \u00ab produits \u00bb) \u00e0 un tiers (l\u2019\u00ab Acheteur \u00bb) et la prestation de services (les \u00ab services \u00bb) \u00e0 l\u2019Acheteur par les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s du Groupe Hypertec, y compris, notamment, Hypertec Syst\u00e8mes, Hypertec USA Inc., Hypertechnologie CIARA Inc. et CIARA Technologies USA et leurs divisions, filiales et soci\u00e9t\u00e9s affili\u00e9es respectives (collectivement, le \u00ab Vendeur \u00bb). Ces Modalit\u00e9s l\u2019emportent sur les modalit\u00e9s et conditions suppl\u00e9mentaires ou conflictuelles de l\u2019Acheteur \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard desquelles un avis d\u2019opposition est par les pr\u00e9sentes donn\u00e9. Le fait que le Vendeur ait commenc\u00e9 la prestation des services ou ait proc\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 la livraison ne saurait \u00eatre r\u00e9put\u00e9 ou constituer une acceptation des modalit\u00e9s et conditions suppl\u00e9mentaires ou conflictuelles de l\u2019Acheteur. Sauf si un repr\u00e9sentant autoris\u00e9 du Vendeur en convient autrement par \u00e9crit, les pr\u00e9sentes Modalit\u00e9s s\u2019appliquent aux acheteurs commerciaux directs ainsi qu\u2019aux utilisateurs finaux commerciaux qui effectuent des achats directement sur hypertecdirect.com ou hypertecdirect.ca. En utilisant notre syst\u00e8me de commerce \u00e9lectronique pour effectuer des achats en ligne, l\u2019Acheteur accepte toutes les modalit\u00e9s et conditions contenues dans les pr\u00e9sentes Modalit\u00e9s et est li\u00e9 par celles\u2011ci. Les pr\u00e9sentes Modalit\u00e9s, ainsi que tout accord de licence ou contrat de services et toutes autres modalit\u00e9s et conditions connexes entre le Vendeur et l\u2019Acheteur, sont d\u00e9sign\u00e9s aux pr\u00e9sentes comme l\u2019\u00ab entente \u00bb.<\/p>\n
(b) Sauf stipulation contraire par \u00e9crit de la part du Vendeur, tous les prix soumissionn\u00e9s excluent les frais de transport et d\u2019assurance, les droits de douane et toutes les taxes et imp\u00f4ts incluant, mais sans s\u2019y limiter, les taxes f\u00e9d\u00e9rales, \u00e9tatiques, provinciales et locales, les taxes d\u2019accise, les taxes sur la valeur ajout\u00e9e, les taxes sur les produits et services et toute autre taxe et imp\u00f4t. L\u2019Acheteur convient de payer ces taxes et imp\u00f4ts \u00e0 moins qu\u2019il ne puisse fournir au Vendeur un certificat d\u2019exemption aux fins de revente selon la forme appropri\u00e9e dans le territoire o\u00f9 est situ\u00e9 l\u2019\u00e9tablissement de l\u2019Acheteur et dans tout territoire o\u00f9 les produits seront directement exp\u00e9di\u00e9s en vertu des pr\u00e9sentes ou \u00e0 moins que la vente ne soit autrement exempt\u00e9e de ces taxes et imp\u00f4ts. L\u2019Acheteur convient d\u2019indemniser le Vendeur et de le d\u00e9gager de toute responsabilit\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard de toute taxe associ\u00e9e \u00e0 la vente, y compris la perception ou la retenue de celle\u2011ci, incluant les p\u00e9nalit\u00e9s et les int\u00e9r\u00eats qui y sont associ\u00e9s.

(b) Tous les paiements en retard se verront imputer des int\u00e9r\u00eats calcul\u00e9s quotidiennement \u00e0 partir de la date d\u2019\u00e9ch\u00e9ance jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que le paiement ait \u00e9t\u00e9 int\u00e9gralement acquitt\u00e9. Des frais de retard de deux pour cent (2 %) par mois (24 % par an) seront impos\u00e9s sur tous les comptes en souffrance. Dans le cadre de tout recours visant \u00e0 recouvrer des sommes en souffrance, l\u2019Acheteur assumera la responsabilit\u00e9 de tous les frais de recouvrement, y compris, notamment, les frais juridiques et les honoraires d\u2019avocat raisonnables et les frais de justice.<\/p>\n
(c) En plus du prix d\u2019achat des produits, l\u2019Acheteur a la responsabilit\u00e9 de tous les frais de transport, d\u2019assurance et autres frais associ\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019exp\u00e9dition des produits \u00e0 l\u2019Acheteur et doit les payer. Le Vendeur a le droit de souscrire une assurance exp\u00e9dition pour le compte de l\u2019Acheteur et de facturer cette assurance \u00e0 l\u2019Acheteur, \u00e0 moins qu\u2019il n\u2019en soit convenu autrement par \u00e9crit par les parties conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 l\u2019article 4 des pr\u00e9sentes.<\/p>\n
(d) Le Vendeur se r\u00e9serve le droit d\u2019\u00e9tablir et\/ou de modifier les modalit\u00e9s de cr\u00e9dit ou de paiement, consenties \u00e0 l\u2019Acheteur lorsque, de l\u2019avis du Vendeur, la situation financi\u00e8re de l\u2019Acheteur ou son dossier de paiement ant\u00e9rieur justifie une telle mesure. En outre, en ce qui concerne les comptes en souffrance, le Vendeur ne sera nullement tenu de continuer \u00e0 ex\u00e9cuter ses obligations en vertu d\u2019une quelconque entente avec l\u2019Acheteur.<\/p>\n
(e) Si le Vendeur estime de bonne foi que la capacit\u00e9 de l\u2019Acheteur \u00e0 effectuer des paiements pourrait \u00eatre compromise ou si l\u2019Acheteur omet de payer toute facture exigible, le Vendeur pourra suspendre la livraison ou l\u2019ex\u00e9cution de toute commande ou de toute partie non livr\u00e9e d\u2019une telle commande jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce qu\u2019un tel paiement soit vers\u00e9 ou annuler une telle commande ou toute partie non livr\u00e9e de celle\u2011ci, et l\u2019Acheteur continuera d\u2019assumer la responsabilit\u00e9 du paiement de tout produit d\u00e9j\u00e0 exp\u00e9di\u00e9, de tout service d\u00e9j\u00e0 fourni et de tous les produits NCNR et CS qu\u2019il aura command\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
(f) Pour garantir les obligations de paiement de l\u2019Acheteur en vertu de l\u2019entente, l\u2019Acheteur accorde par les pr\u00e9sentes au Vendeur, et le Vendeur conserve par les pr\u00e9sentes, une s\u00fbret\u00e9 en garantie du prix d\u2019acquisition sur les produits livr\u00e9s au Vendeur et sur leurs accessoires, leurs remplacements, leurs accessions et les revenus en d\u00e9coulant, y compris, notamment, les comptes d\u00e9biteurs (la \u00ab garantie \u00bb) et aux fins du droit qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, l\u2019Acheteur accorde \u00e9galement au Vendeur une hypoth\u00e8que sur la garantie d\u2019un capital \u00e9quivalant au prix d\u2019achat des produits payable en vertu de la pr\u00e9sente entente, plus un montant \u00e9gal \u00e0 20 % de ce montant, le tout portant int\u00e9r\u00eat au taux de 25 % par an. En cas de manquement de l\u2019Acheteur aux obligations de paiement en vertu des pr\u00e9sentes, le Vendeur peut d\u00e9clarer tous les montants dus aux termes des pr\u00e9sentes imm\u00e9diatement exigibles et payables et peut exercer tous les droits et recours dont peut se pr\u00e9valoir un cr\u00e9ancier garanti\/d\u00e9tenteur d\u2019une s\u00fbret\u00e9\/hypoth\u00e8que en vertu de toute loi applicable ou autrement, sans pr\u00e9judice de tout autre recours du Vendeur en vertu des pr\u00e9sentes, en droit ou en \u00e9quit\u00e9. L\u2019Acheteur accepte, de temps \u00e0 autre, de poser tout geste et de signer et de remettre tout document (incluant, sans s\u2019y limiter, des \u00e9tats de financement) raisonnablement demand\u00e9 par le Vendeur pour transf\u00e9rer, cr\u00e9er, parfaire, pr\u00e9server, prot\u00e9ger et faire valoir toute s\u00fbret\u00e9 en vertu de cette disposition et autorise le Vendeur \u00e0 d\u00e9poser tous les documents et \u00e0 prendre toutes les autres mesures n\u00e9cessaires pour parfaire la s\u00fbret\u00e9\/l\u2019hypoth\u00e8que et la rendre opposable \u00e0 des tiers. Jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que tous les montants soient pay\u00e9s en vertu des pr\u00e9sentes, l\u2019Acheteur conservera les produits libres de toute charge.<\/p>\n
(g) Tout paiement re\u00e7u de l\u2019Acheteur peut \u00eatre affect\u00e9 par le Vendeur au r\u00e8glement de toute obligation en souffrance de l\u2019Acheteur envers le Vendeur, sans \u00e9gard \u00e0 tout \u00e9nonc\u00e9 apparaissant sur un tel paiement ou s\u2019y rapportant, sans pour autant que l\u2019obligation de l\u2019Acheteur ne soit \u00e9teinte quant \u00e0 toute autre somme que celui\u2011ci doit au Vendeur, et l\u2019acceptation par le Vendeur d\u2019un tel paiement ne saurait constituer une renonciation au droit du Vendeur de proc\u00e9der au recouvrement de tout solde r\u00e9siduel.<\/p>\n
(h) Le Vendeur n\u2019est pas responsable des erreurs dans l\u2019\u00e9tablissement des prix, des erreurs typographiques ou des autres erreurs dans une offre, et se r\u00e9serve le droit d\u2019annuler les commandes d\u00e9coulant de telles erreurs. L\u2019Acheteur reconna\u00eet que toutes les factures seront r\u00e9put\u00e9es exactes, sauf si l\u2019Acheteur avise le Vendeur par \u00e9crit d\u2019une erreur importante commise de bonne foi dans les quatorze (14) jours de la date de cette facture. Si l\u2019Acheteur avise le Vendeur d\u2019une erreur importante, (i) le paiement de tout montant que le Vendeur aura corrig\u00e9 ou modifi\u00e9 par \u00e9crit sera d\u00fb dans les quatorze (14) jours de cette correction, et (ii) l\u2019Acheteur devra payer tous les autres montants au plus tard \u00e0 la date d\u2019\u00e9ch\u00e9ance de la facture. Si l\u2019Acheteur refuse de payer un montant factur\u00e9 parce qu\u2019il le pr\u00e9tend erron\u00e9 et que le Vendeur conclut par la suite que ce montant factur\u00e9 est exact, l\u2019Acheteur paiera un int\u00e9r\u00eat sur ce montant, tel qu\u2019il est d\u00e9crit ci\u2011dessus, calcul\u00e9 \u00e0 compter de la date d\u2019\u00e9ch\u00e9ance de ce montant jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la date o\u00f9 le Vendeur en re\u00e7oit le paiement. L\u2019Acheteur ne pourra en aucun cas proc\u00e9der \u00e0 la compensation, au report ou \u00e0 la d\u00e9duction d\u2019un montant factur\u00e9 que le Vendeur a \u00e9tabli comme n\u2019\u00e9tant pas erron\u00e9 apr\u00e8s le processus de notification susmentionn\u00e9.<\/p>\n

These terms and conditions (the \u201cTerms\u201d) govern the sale to a third party (\u201cBuyer\u201d) of products (\u201cProducts\u201d) and the provision to Buyer of services (\u201cServices\u201d) by Hypertec Group companies, including, without limitation, Hypertec Systems, Hypertec USA Inc., Hypertechnologie Ciara Inc. and Ciara Technologies USA and their respective divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, \u201cVendor\u201d). These Terms take precedence over Buyer\u2019s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions to which notice of objection is hereby given. Neither Vendor\u2019s commencement of performance or delivery shall be deemed or constituted an acceptance of Buyer\u2019s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions. Unless otherwise agreed to by an authorised representative of Vendor in writing, these Terms apply to direct commercial purchasers and commercial end-users that purchase directly on hypertecdirect.com or hypertecdirect.ca. By using our ecommerce to purchase online, Buyer accepts and is bound to all terms and conditions contained in these Terms. These Terms, together with any related license agreement, service agreement and other terms and conditions between Vendor and Buyer, shall be referred to herein as the \u201cAgreement\u201d.<\/p>
All orders placed by Buyer are subject to acceptance by Vendor. Other than as specified in these Terms, orders may not be cancelled or rescheduled without Vendor\u2019s written consent. All orders must include delivery dates, quantities, approved vendors and complete description of the Products and Services being purchased. Vendor may, in its sole discretion, refuse any order or, in the event of shortage, allocate Products among its customers. Vendor may designate certain Products as non-cancellable, non-returnable (\u201cNCNR\u201d) or customer specific (\u201cCS\u201d) Products and the sale of such Products shall be subject to the special terms and conditions contained in Vendor\u2019s Special Product Agreement, which shall prevail and supersede any inconsistent terms and conditions contained in these Terms or elsewhere.<\/p><\/li>
(a)<\/strong>The prices of Products and Services shown on our website are subject to change without notice are those specified on the front of Vendor\u2019s invoice. Pricing for undelivered Products and Services may be increased by Vendor in the event of any increase in Vendor\u2019s cost or change in market conditions or of any other causes beyond Vendor\u2019s reasonable control. Price quotations, unless otherwise stated, shall automatically expire thirty (30) calendar days from the date issued and may be cancelled or amended by Vendor within that period upon notice to Buyer.<\/p> (b)<\/strong> Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Vendor, all prices quoted are exclusive of transportation and insurance costs, duties, and all taxes including, but not limited to, federal, state, provincial and local sales, excise, value added and goods and services taxes and any other taxes. Buyer agrees to pay these taxes unless Buyer has provided Vendor with an exemption resale certificate in the appropriate form for the jurisdiction of Buyer\u2019s place of business and any jurisdiction to which Products are to be directly shipped hereunder, or unless the sale is otherwise exempt from these taxes. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Vendor harmless for any liability for tax in connection with the sale, as well as the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest thereon. When applicable, transportation and taxes shall appear as separate items on Vendor\u2019s invoice.<\/p><\/li> (a)<\/strong> Other than where up-front payment in full was required prior to acceptance by Vendor of an order, invoices will be due and payable within the time period noted on the invoice, or if not noted, then within net thirty (30) days, measured from the date of the invoice, subject to continuing credit approval by Vendor, which approval may be revoked without further notice from Vendor. Vendor may invoice each shipment separately and each invoice shall be considered separately for the purposes of these payment terms. Buyer agrees to pay each invoice pursuant to its terms without the benefit of setoff or deduction.<\/p> (b)<\/strong> All late payments shall be charged interest computed on a daily basis from the due date until paid in full. A late charge of two percent (2%) per month (24% per annum) will be imposed on all past due accounts. Buyer shall be liable for costs of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and attorneys\u2019 fees and court costs, in any action to collect past due amounts.<\/p> (c)<\/strong> All freight, insurance and other expenses associated with shipping Products to Buyer are Buyer\u2019s responsibility and shall be payable by Buyer in addition to the purchase price of Products. Vendor shall have the right to purchase shipping insurance on Buyer\u2019s behalf and charge Buyer for such insurance, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, in accordance with Section 4 hereof.<\/p> (d)<\/strong> Vendor reserves the right to establish and\/or change credit and payment terms extended to Buyer when, in Vendor\u2019s sole opinion, Buyer\u2019s financial condition or previous payment record warrants such action. Further, on delinquent accounts, Vendor shall not be obligated to continue performance under any agreement with Buyer.<\/p> (e)<\/strong> If Vendor believes in good faith that Buyer\u2019s ability to make payments may be impaired or if Buyer shall fail to pay any invoice when due, Vendor may suspend delivery or performance of any order or any remaining balance thereof until such payment is made or cancel any order or any remaining balance thereof, and Buyer shall remain liable to pay for any Products already shipped and Services already performed and for all NCNR and CS Products ordered by Buyer.<\/p> (f)<\/strong> To secure Buyer\u2019s payment obligations under the Agreement, Buyer hereby grants to Vendor, and Vendor hereby retains, a purchase money security interest in Products delivered to Vendor and in their accessories, replacements, accessions and in the proceeds therefor, including, without limitation, accounts receivable (the \u201cCollateral\u201d), and for the purposes of Quebec law, Buyer also grants to Vendor a hypothec on the Collateral in the principal amount of the purchase price of the Products payable under the Agreement, plus an amount equal to 20% of such amount, the whole bearing interest at a rate of 25% per annum. In case of default by Buyer in payment obligations hereunder, Vendor may declare all amounts owing hereunder immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies available to a secured party\/holder of a security\/hypothec under applicable statute or otherwise, without prejudice to any other remedy of Vendor hereunder, at law or in equity. Buyer agrees, from time to time, to take any act and execute and deliver any document (including, without limitation, financing statements) reasonably requested by Vendor to transfer, create, perfect, preserve, protect and enforce any security interest under this provision and authorizes Vendor to file any documents and take all other steps required to perfect and render the security interest\/hypothec opposable to third parties. Until all amounts are paid hereunder, Buyer will keep Products free from any other encumbrance.<\/p> (g)<\/strong> Any payment received from Buyer may be applied by Vendor against any obligation owing from Buyer to Vendor, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such payment, without discharging Buyer\u2019s liability for any additional amounts owing from Buyer to Vendor, and the acceptance by Vendor of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of Vendor\u2019s right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance.<\/p> (h)<\/strong> Vendor is not responsible for pricing, typographical or other errors in any offer, and reserves the right to cancel orders arising from such errors. Buyer agrees that all invoices shall be deemed accurate unless Buyer advises Vendor in writing of a bona fide, material error within fourteen (14) days of the date of such invoice. In the event that Buyer advises Vendor of a material error, (i) payment of any amounts corrected or modified by Vendor in writing shall be due within fourteen (14) days of such correction, and (ii) all other amounts shall be paid by Buyer by the invoice due date. In the event Buyer withholds payment of any invoiced amounts upon an assertion by Buyer that such amounts are erroneous, and Vendor subsequently concludes that such invoiced amounts are accurate, Buyer shall pay interest on such amounts as described above from the due date for such amounts until Vendor\u2019s receipt of those amounts. In no case shall Buyer be entitled to offset, defer or deduct any invoiced amounts that Vendor determines are not erroneous following the notification process set forth above.<\/p><\/li> All deliveries will be made EXW (Ex Works as defined in Incoterms 2010) Vendor\u2019s facility or FOB place of origin. Subject to Vendor\u2019s right of stoppage in transit, delivery of Products to the carrier shall constitute delivery to Buyer and title and risk of loss shall thereupon pass to Buyer. Selection of the carrier and delivery route shall be made by Vendor unless specified by Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by Vendor are estimates only and Vendor shall not be liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform due to causes beyond the reasonable control of Vendor nor shall the carrier be deemed an agent of Vendor. In the case of delay caused by such event, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost as a consequence of the delay in delivery without subjecting Vendor to any liability or penalty. If Products perished while in the custody of the carrier, Vendor shall be deemed to have performed its obligations in full. Delivery of a quantity which varies from the quantity specified shall not relieve Buyer of the obligation to accept delivery and pay for Products delivered. Delay in delivery of one installment shall not entitle Buyer to cancel other instalments.<\/p><\/li> Shipment of Products will be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer upon delivery of the said shipment to Buyer unless rejected upon receipt. Buyer shall perform whatever inspection or tests Buyer deems necessary as promptly as possible but in no event later than five (5) days after delivery, after which time Buyer will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted Products. Any discrepancy in shipment quantity must be reported within five (5) working days of receipt of Products. In the event of an over shipment, Buyer shall have the option to return Products to Vendor at Vendor\u2019s expense or, alternatively, Buyer may elect to retain Products (subject to adjustment of the invoice or the issuance of another invoice to account for such additional items). Products that are subject to returns shall be subject to compliance with Vendor\u2019s Return Merchandise Authorization (\u201cRMA\u201d) policies and procedures and require an RMA number. A restocking charge equivalent to a minimum of 15% of the value of Products returned as specified in Vendor\u2019s invoice to Buyer may apply. Returned Products must be in the original packaging. Products not eligible for return shall be returned to Buyer freight collect.<\/p><\/li> (a)<\/strong> Vendor warrants as follows regarding Services performed or Products sold by Vendor:<\/p> (i) all Vendor CIARA-branded Products shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service in accordance with their Specifications for a period of ninety (90) days after shipment by Vendor, with \u201cSpecifications\u201d meaning Vendor\u2019s published specifications for Products, which Buyer acknowledges having received, as revised from time to time; provided, however, that THIS WARRANTY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES ALL SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS OR PROGRAMS;<\/p> (ii) as regards all Vendor non-CIARA-branded Products, Vendor will transfer to Buyer all transferable warranties or indemnities, if any, that the original equipment manufacturer (\u201cOEM\u201d) or the third party vendor\/service provider provides to Vendor. VENDOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TOWARDS BUYER BEYOND TRANSFERRING SUCH WARRANTIES OR INDEMNITIES, TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE TRANSFERABLE. IT IS BUYER\u2019S OBLIGATION TO REQUEST COPIES OF ANY APPLICABLE OEM OR THIRD PARTY VENDOR\/SERVICE PROVIDER WARRANTIES AND BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED SUCH WARRANTIES UPON THE ACCEPTANCE OF PRODUCTS AND\/OR SERVICES; and<\/p> (iii) all Services performed by or on behalf of Vendor shall be performed in a diligent and commercially reasonable manner in accordance with the degree of care, skill, efficiency and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would employ in similar circumstances.<\/p> (b)<\/strong> Vendor\u2019s exclusive obligations with respect to any Products or Services for claims under the limited warranty provided under Sections 6(a)(i) and 6(a)(iii) hereof shall be, at Vendor\u2019s option, to repair or replace the Product, if it is determined to be defective, to re-perform the Service, or to issue credit to Buyer for the purchase price paid for the Product or Service. Replacement Products shall be warranted as set forth in Section 6(a) hereof. Any Products repaired or serviced by Vendor shall be warranted as provided in Section 6(a) hereof for the remainder of Vendor\u2019s warranty period or the OEM or the third party vendor\/service provider warranty period, as the case may be.<\/p> (c)<\/strong> No warranty shall apply to any Products or components that have been subjected to misuse, mishandling or improper testing or assembly, that have been repaired or altered other than by Vendor, that have been operated contrary to their Specifications or current instructions relating to their installation, maintenance or operation, that have been operated contrary to industry standards, that have been subjected to adverse external conditions such as, but not limited to, operating in environments with temperatures no more than 26C\/79F and no less than 15C\/50F and humidity levels no more that 50% and no less than 20%, power failures, power surges or force majeure, or that have been used in conjunction with any item not furnished or manufactured by Vendor (other than as specifically instructed by Vendor).<\/p> (d)<\/strong> No warranty shall apply to accessories, supply items and consumables or structural parts (for example, frames and covers). Unless specified otherwise, batteries are considered a consumable item and are not warranted.<\/p> (e)<\/strong> Vendor gives no warranty whatsoever, and disclaims and shall have no liability, for any trademark, trade dress, trade secret, copyright, design or patent infringement, or the infringement of any other intellectual property right of any third party, which may occur as a result of the sale of Products to Buyer or the use of Products by Buyer, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by Vendor in writing; provided, however, that Buyer may be entitled to seek remedy or recourse against the relevant OEM or third party vendor\/service provider, subject to the limited warranty, if any, of the OEM or the third party vendor\/service provider in this regard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no remedy or recourse by Buyer whatsoever to the extent the infringement arises from or is otherwise based upon (i) compliance with the particular requirements of Buyer, (ii) modifications or alterations of the Products or components other than by Vendor, the OEM or the third party vendor\/service provider, or (iii) the combination of the Products with other items not furnished or manufactured by Vendor or the OEM or the third party vendor\/service provider.<\/p> (f)<\/strong> THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE THE SOLE WARRANTIES GIVEN BY VENDOR IN CONNECTION WITH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VENDOR DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, LEGAL, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, DURABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS AND WARRANTIES AGAINST LATENT DEFECTS.<\/p> (g)<\/strong> BUYER SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE ENTITLED TO, AND VENDOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR: INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE OR ANY LOSS OF REVENUE, INCOME, PROFIT OR SAVINGS; LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA OR SOFTWARE; LOSS OF USE OF A SYSTEM OR NETWORK; LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR DOWNTIME; PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE; REMOVAL AND\/OR REINSTALLATION COSTS; REPROCUREMENT COSTS; PROMOTIONAL OR MANUFACTURING EXPENSES; OVERHEAD; INJURY TO REPUTATION OR LOSS OF CUSTOMERS, IN EACH CASE EVEN IF VENDOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BUYER\u2019S RECOVERY FROM VENDOR FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE BUYER DURING THE PRIOR 12 MONTHS FOR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, CIVIL LIABILITY, TORT, DELICT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE. VENDOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, AND BUYER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD VENDOR HARMLESS FROM, ANY CLAIMS BASED ON VENDOR\u2019S COMPLIANCE WITH BUYER\u2019S DESIGNS, SPECIFICATIONS OR INSTRUCTIONS, OR MODIFICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS BY PARTIES OTHER THAN VENDOR, OR USE IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER PRODUCTS. IF, FOR ANY REASON, THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE FOUND BY AN ARBITRATION PANEL OR COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE INVALID OR INAPPLICABLE UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, BUYER AGREES THAT VENDOR\u2019S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND OR NATURE SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES PROVIDED BY ANY SUCH APPLICABLE LAW.<\/p> (h)<\/strong> Buyer acknowledges that this Agreement was entered into at arm\u2019s length and that Buyer was not fraudulently induced to enter into this Agreement, in whole or any part, and Buyer explicitly disclaims and waives any claim with respect thereto.<\/p><\/li> If any Products include software or other intellectual property, such software or other intellectual property is provided by Vendor to Buyer subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the license agreement or other user agreement accompanying such software or other intellectual property. Nothing herein shall be construed to grant any rights or license to use any software or other intellectual property in any manner or for any purpose not expressly permitted by such license or user agreement.<\/p><\/li> Buyer certifies that it will be the recipient of Products to be delivered by Vendor. Buyer acknowledges that Products are subject to the export and\/or import control laws and regulations of various countries, including, without limitation, Canada\u2019s Export Control List and Area Control List and the Export Administration Laws and Regulations of the United States. Buyer agrees to comply strictly with all applicable export and import control laws and assumes sole responsibility for obtaining any required licenses to import, export or re-export as may be required and acknowledges that it shall not directly or indirectly export or re-export any Products to any country to which such export or transmission is restricted or prohibited.<\/p><\/li> Products and Services sold by Vendor are not fault-tolerant and not designed, intended or authorized for use in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, weapons systems, life-support machines, or any other application in which the failure of the Products or Services could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or property damage (collectively, \u201cHigh-Risk Activities\u201d). Vendor expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for High-Risk Activities.
