  3. Price and Payment Terms. (a) The price payable by La Colombe for the Products and/or Services is the price  for the Products and/or Services appearing on the face of the Purchasing Document.

Shipping terms are “DDP  destination specified in the applicable Purchase Order INCOTERMS 2020” for international shipments and “DAP  destination specified in the applicable Purchase Order INCOTERMS 2020” for domestic shipments. Seller assumes  responsibility for all shipping and delivery charges including customs, duties, costs, taxes and insurance. The method  of shipment shall be in accordance with the Purchasing Document or, if the Purchasing Document is silent on the  method of shipment, as selected by La Colombe. Title to the Products and risk of loss thereof shall remain with Seller  until acceptance by La Colombe. (b) Seller will preserve, pack, package and handle the Products so as to protect the  Products from loss or damage and in accordance with best commercial practices in the absence of any Specifications  La Colombe may otherwise provide. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall observe the requirements of any local  laws and regulations relating to hazardous materials, including, without limitation, with respect to the documenting,  packing, labeling, reporting, carriage and disposal thereof. (c) Seller will include with each shipment of Products an  itemized packing slip identifying the Purchase Order number, the part number (if applicable) for each of the Products,  the quantity and a description of each of the Products, and the date of shipment. (d) Seller shall fully insure all  shipments delivered by carrier up to the total price of the Products.  
  5. Time is of the Essence. (a) Time is of the essence; La Colombe’s schedules are based upon Seller’s  performance of its obligations under the Purchasing Document, including delivery of the Products to La Colombe and/or completion of the Services by the Delivery Date(s). Seller shall immediately notify La Colombe upon knowing  or suspecting that Seller will not be able to deliver the Products and/or complete the Services by the Delivery Date(s),  shall state the reason for such failure and shall provide a new Delivery Date(s); provided, however, in the absence of  La Colombe’s written consent, receipt of Seller’s notice shall not constitute La Colombe’s waiver of Seller’s  obligations to deliver the Products and/or complete the Services by the Delivery Date(s) specified in the Purchasing  Document. (b) If the Products are not delivered and/or the Services are not completed by the Delivery Date(s)  specified in the Purchasing Document, La Colombe may, without liability and in addition to its other remedies, cancel  the Purchasing Document as to the non-conforming Products not yet delivered and/or non-conforming Services not yet completed, purchase substitute items or services elsewhere and charge Seller for any loss incurred, and/or  reject such Products and/or Services. La Colombe’s acceptance of non-conforming Products (including quantities)  and/or Services shall not be deemed a waiver by La Colombe of its rights or remedies hereunder. (c) Products shipped to La Colombe in advance of the  Delivery Date(s) or in excess of the quantities specified in the applicable Purchasing Document may, at La Colombe’s sole  discretion, be rejected or returned to Seller at Seller’s expense. Any provision herein for delivery of Products by  installment shall not be construed as rendering the obligations of the Seller severable. (d) La Colombe will hold any  rejected Products at Seller’s sole risk and expense, including storage charges, while awaiting Seller’s return  shipping instructions. Seller will bear all return shipping charges, including insurance charges La Colombe incurs on  Seller’s behalf. La Colombe may, in its sole discretion, destroy or sell at a public or private sale any rejected  Products for which La Colombe does not receive return shipping instructions within a reasonable time (which shall  be not more than two days from Seller’s receipt of La Colombe’s notice of rejection), and apply the proceeds, if any,  first toward any storage charges. 
  1. Inspection and Rejection. (a) All Products and/or Services (whether or not paid for, partially paid for or fully paid  for) are subject to inspection, testing and approval by La Colombe at any place that La Colombe may reasonably  designate before La Colombe’s acceptance. La Colombe shall have the opportunity to conduct adequate tests to  determine whether or not the Products and/or Services conform to the Specifications. La Colombe shall have the right  to inspect or to be present at any test performed on any Products prior to shipment but no such inspection or  observation of any test shall constitute acceptance of the Products or vary La Colombe’s right to conduct tests upon  and after delivery of the Products. Payment for any Products and/or Services prior to La Colombe’s timely rejection of  such Products and/or Services as non-conforming will not be deemed to constitute La Colombe’s acceptance of the  Products and/or Services. (b) If the Purchasing Document covers the design and/or construction of Products by  Seller, La Colombe’s review or approval of Seller’s designs, drawings or other material shall not relieve Seller of  responsibility for errors in design, construction, or performance, nor constitute a waiver of Seller’s responsibility for  complying with any of the Specifications and other conditions of the Purchasing Document. (c) In addition to any other  rights it may have, La Colombe expressly reserves the right, without liability hereunder, to refuse acceptance of  and/or reject any Product and/or Service that (i) does not conform in all respects to (A) any instructions contained in  or the terms and conditions of the Purchasing Document, (B) the Specifications or (C) the warranties contained herein  and, if broader, any other warranties made by Seller with respect to the Product and/or Service, notwithstanding La  Colombe’s knowledge of a non-conformity, its substantiality or the cause of its discovery, (ii) are in excess of the  quantities specified in the Purchasing Document, or (iii) violate Applicable Law. (d) At La Colombe’s option, La  Colombe may (i) return non-conforming Product to Seller for a full refund or credit; (ii) require Seller to replace the  non-conforming Product with conforming Product and/or re-perform the Service at no additional cost to La Colombe;  (iii) require Seller to repair the non-conforming Product so that it meets the applicable requirements (including those  set forth in the Specifications); or (iv) accept the non-conforming Product and/or Service subject to receipt of a refund  or credit in an amount La Colombe reasonably determines to represent the diminished value of the non-conforming  Product and/or Service. Products and/or Services corrected or replaced by Seller shall be subject to all of the  provisions of the Purchasing Document in the manner and to the same extent as Products and/or Services originally  specified in the Purchasing Document.  
  2. Services. If the Purchasing Document covers the performance of Services for La Colombe or involves  operations by Seller on the premises of La Colombe, Seller shall take all necessary precautions to prevent the  occurrence of any injury to person or property during the progress of such work and shall indemnify and protect La  Colombe against all liability, claims or demands for injuries or damages to any person or property arising out of the  performance of the Purchasing Document including the cost of defending against any such claim.
  3. Product Safety. (a) La Colombe shall have the right to inspect, without advance notice and during normal business  hours: (i) the plant and/or manufacturing facilities of Seller at which Products are produced, (ii) all of the Seller’s facilities  and equipment relating to manufacture, storage and delivery of the Products and all components thereof, and (iii) the  Products (prior to its shipment), to assure Seller’s compliance with these Terms and Conditions. (b) Any Product which  requires microbiological or chemical testing shall not be shipped or transferred without meeting or exceeding the  standards for that Product, or obtaining prior written consent from La Colombe’s Quality Assurance Department. Seller  agrees to pay the reasonable costs of the Product testing, shipping, inspection, and laboratory fees. (c) Seller shall  maintain accurate records of all matters that relate to Seller’s obligations hereunder in accordance with generally  accepted accounting principles and practices uniformly and consistently applied in a format that will permit audit. (d)  In the event of a recall or market withdrawal (as the terms are defined under 21 CFR 7.3) or any seizure of La  Colombe products containing any Products delivered by Seller, and in the event such recall, market withdrawal, or  seizure has resulted from any act or omission of Seller or of any of its suppliers or subcontractors which, for the  avoidance of doubt, would require Supplier's indemnification of La Colombe under this Purchasing Document, Seller  shall immediately reimburse La Colombe for all direct and indirect out-of-pocket expenses incurred by La Colombe in  connection with such recall or seizure. This Section shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies of La  Colombe under these Terms (or at law or equity) in the event of such a recall or seizure and shall survive any  expiration or termination of these Terms or any Purchasing Document.

Such policy will apply as primary and non-contributory  with respect to insurance afforded to La Colombe Parties. All insurance providers must maintain an A.M. Best rating  of “A-” with a financial size category of VIII or better. Except for the professional liability policy, all policies will contain  a provision or endorsement expressly waiving any and all rights of subrogation against La Colombe Parties, and  waive any other right of the insurers to any offset or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or  otherwise, in respect of any liability of La Colombe Parties. Certificates of insurance evidencing all insurance  required hereunder, together with copies of any additional insured blanket endorsements, will be provided to La  Colombe prior to Seller’s commencement of activities hereunder and thereafter promptly upon the renewal or  replacement of each required policy of insurance. Seller will promptly notify La Colombe of any loss of insurance or  reduction of coverage on account of revised limits, claims paid or any other reason. Any failure or neglect of La  Colombe to demand evidence of insurance, or failure of La Colombe to identify a deficiency in Seller’s insurance  from evidence provided, will not be a waiver or release of Seller’s obligation to maintain the insurance required  herein. Further, La Colombe’s acceptance any evidence of insurance does not constitute La Colombe’s approval  thereof or agreement the insurance requirements herein have been met. If Seller fails to maintain the insurance  required herein, La Colombe will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance at Seller’s  expense or terminate this Purchasing Document for cause. Seller will provide La Colombe with a certified copy of the  policy for any insurance coverage required herein within ten (10) days of La Colombe’s request. La Colombe retains  the right to withhold payment under this Purchasing Document without possession of an effective certificate of  insurance with adequate coverage hereunder. (c) Seller will require all of Seller’s contractors (and any  Subcontractors) of any tier to purchase and maintain insurance equivalent to that required of Seller hereunder;  provided, however, if a consultant or subconsultant cannot reasonably supply any required insurance (or if certain  requirements are excessive or unreasonable with respect to the scope of work of the consultant or subconsultant),  Seller may request a waiver of the applicable requirements from La Colombe, which waiver may be granted in La  Colombe’s discretion. Upon La Colombe’s request, Seller will have its subcontractors submit evidence of insurance  to La Colombe in the same manner as Seller. La Colombe retains the right to withhold payment without possession of an effective  certificate of insurance with adequate coverage hereunder.
