1. SYMBEEO ENTITY AND TERMS.
1.1 Named Symbeeo Entity. Each Sales Order (as defined below) will be entered into between Customer and the Symbeeo entity set forth in the Sales Order. If the contracting entity in the Sales Order is an affiliate of SYMBEEO INC., then the annexes to these Terms will apply as follows:

Each Symbeeo entities’ liability related to any Sales Order shall be separate from each other Symbeeo entity.
2. PURCHASE ORDERS.
2.1 Orders. Customer may submit an offer to purchase Products by providing to Symbeeo purchase orders or similar ordering documentation hereunder to Symbeeo (“Proposed Orders”). All Proposed Orders by Customer are subject to Symbeeo’s acceptance, which may be made in writing or by placing Products in transit to the address set forth in the Proposed Order (any Proposed Orders accepted by Symbeeo, “Sales Orders”). Any acceptance or rejection of a Proposed Order is given or withheld at Symbeeo’s sole discretion. Additionally, Symbeeo may provide executable quotes for its Products governed by these Terms, which will also become Sales Orders if accepted by Customer – either through execution of the quote or through acceptance of Products. Once formed, Sales Orders are non- cancelable and may not be modified by Customer.
2.2 Effects of Additional and Conflicting Terms. These Terms will prevail over any additional or conflicting terms or conditions of any Proposed Orders, or any other electronic or physical ordering document provided by Customer in connection with Customer’s ordering of any Products from Symbeeo. Notwithstanding Symbeeo’s acceptance of any Proposed Order from Customer, Symbeeo hereby gives Customer notice of Symbeeo’s objection to and rejection of any conflicting or additional terms in any such Proposed Order.
3. Delivery and Acceptance.

3.2 Delivery Schedule. Symbeeo will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship the Products in accordance with the delivery date set forth in the Sales Order.
3.3 Inspection and Acceptance. Customer will perform a visual inspection of delivered Products within three (3) business days following their delivery to the delivery address (the “Inspection Period”) for their conformity to the Product Warranty (as defined below). Customer’s failure to provide written notice of a non-conformity in the Products during the Inspection Period will be deemed acceptance of the Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a shipment includes the wrong Products or incorrect quantities of Products, Customer will notify Symbeeo of such shipment errors in writing within fifteen (15) days of delivery and, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, Symbeeo will correct the shipment.

4.2 Payment. Customer will pay invoices within thirty (30) days after Symbeeo’s delivery of the applicable invoice; provided that, if Symbeeo has reasonable concerns about Customer’s ability to pay for any Products, Symbeeo may require Customer to provide reasonable assurances of its ability to pay before shipping the Products. If Customer cannot provide assurances in a timely manner, then Symbeeo may require payment in full in advance of shipment, and if Symbeeo does not receive such payment in advance, Symbeeo may cancel the relevant Sales Order. All undisputed amounts not paid when due will incur interest on any outstanding balance until paid in full at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) interest per month or the maximum legal rate allowed by applicable law.
4.3 Currency. All amounts payable by Customer are provided in, and all payments by Customer will be made in United States dollars.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
5.1 Products Warranty. Symbeeo does not manufacture the Products and gives no warranty of its own on them. The Products carry only the warranty given by their manufacturer, for the period and on the terms the manufacturer sets (the “Warranty Period”), and Symbeeo passes that warranty through to Customer to the extent it is able to (the “Product Warranty”). The specifications for the Products are those published by their manufacturer at the time of acceptance of the Sales Order (the “Product Specifications”). The warranty on services performed by Symbeeo, including its period and remedy, is as set out in the applicable quote or contract.
5.2 Exclusive Remedies. If a Product does not conform with the Product Warranty during the Warranty Period (a “Non-Conforming Product”), then as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, Symbeeo will pass Customer’s claim to the manufacturer for repair and/or replacement of the Non-Conforming Product – at the manufacturer’s option – under the Product Warranty; provided that: (i) Symbeeo is promptly notified in writing with a detailed explanation of the non-conformity upon Customer’s discovery of such deficiencies; (ii) Customer places the Non-Conforming Product in transit to Symbeeo during the Warranty Period and (iii) the manufacturer’s examination of the Products confirms the nonconformity. The repaired Products and/or replacement Products, and the shipping costs in connection with providing them, will be provided and borne as the Product Warranty provides. Customer acknowledges and agrees that repair or replacement of any Non-Conforming Product may be made: (i) with refurbished and/or previously used parts or Products that meet the manufacturer’s functional requirements and/or (ii) by substitution of another product that is substantially similar in form and function to the Non-Conforming Product (such substitute product also allowed to be refurbished and/or previously used and/or to include refurbished and/or previously used parts, in each case that meet the manufacturer’s functional requirements). The warranty period for replacement Products will be as the Product Warranty provides.
5.3 Warranty Exclusions. Symbeeo will not be liable for a breach of the Product Warranty and a Product will not be deemed a Non-Conforming Product to the extent the non-conformity arises out of: (i) defects specifically drawn to Customer’s attention prior to Symbeeo’s shipment of the Products; (ii) installation, maintenance or use of the Products inconsistent with the Product Specifications; (iii) labels or tamper-resistant mechanisms having been removed from the Products; and/or (iv) the Products having been subjected to misuse, neglect, accident, improper installation, repair not authorized by Symbeeo, or combination with items not supplied by Symbeeo which adversely affect the condition of the Products.
5.4 Accessories; Free-Issue and Third Materials.
5.4.1 Accessories and Free Materials. If Symbeeo provides to Customer any third-party accessories or free-issue materials alongside the Products (including, by way of example, any cables, or connectors) (collectively, “Accessories”), then the Product Warranty will not apply to such Accessories. Instead, all Accessories will be provided on an “As-Is” an “As-Available” basis without warranty of any kind and will be used by Customer at its own risk and liability.
5.4.2 Third-party Materials. Symbeeo may make available to Customer – either for free or for payment from or on behalf of Customer - third-party products and services, including: Third party hardware or software (“Third-Party Materials”). Third party materials are subject to separate license terms, restrictions, conditions, notices and warranties that accompany such Third-Party Materials (“Third-Party Terms”). The terms in this Agreement are offered by Symbeeo alone and do not limit any rights or obligations in the Third-Party Terms. Symbeeo makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Third-Party Materials, all of which are provided “as is”. Symbeeo assumes no liability or other obligations with respect to the Third-Party Materials and, without limiting the foregoing, is not liable for any loss or damage that Customer may experience because of the purchase, use or access thereof. Third Party Materials are the sole responsibility of the third party from which they originated, and Customer may rely solely and exclusive on any warranties, guarantees, or other representations made by the third party in the Third-Party Terms (if any).
5.5 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES IN THESE TERMS ARE IN LIEU OF, AND SYMBEEO AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND THEIR ANALOGS UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

As a condition of this resale right: (a) Customer’s terms and conditions of sale for such Integrated Products will incorporate warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability and reverse engineering provisions in favor of Symbeeo (who may be referred to as Customer’s supplier) that are at least as protective as the applicable terms of these Terms, and (b) Customer understands and agrees that Customer is deemed the “producer” of all Integrated Products and will be solely responsible for complying with all such applicable laws, rules and regulations.

If a party is required to disclose any Confidential Information in accordance with this Section, the disclosing party shall use its best endeavors to consult with the other party prior to making any such disclosure.
9. INDEMNIFICATION.
9.1 Indemnification by Symbeeo. Symbeeo will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively “Losses”) based upon a claim, suit, action or proceeding (each a “Claim”) brought against Customer by a third party that arises out of the infringement of a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights by the Products and Customer’s use thereof in accordance with the Product Specifications. Symbeeo will not be required to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer for any Claims or Losses to the extent arising out of: (a) any use of the Products in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement, the Product Specifications, and/or any other written instructions for the Products made available by Symbeeo to Customer; (b) modifications of the Products by Customer; (c) any combination of the Products with any materials (including any hardware or software) not provided by Symbeeo; and (d) any failure by Customer to incorporate updates or upgrades to the Products that would have avoided the alleged infringement, provided that Symbeeo offered such updates or upgrades without charge to Customer prior to the date of such third party claim or action ((a) through (d) collectively, any “Excluded Claims”). If the sale or use of the Products is enjoined or, in Symbeeo’s sole and absolute judgment, is likely to be enjoined, Symbeeo shall, at Symbeeo’s election in its sole and absolute discretion and at Symbeeo’s sole expense, procure for Customer the right to continue using the Products, replace the same with equivalent non-infringing products, or modify such Products so they become non-infringing.
9.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Symbeeo and its affiliates, and each of their officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (each a “Symbeeo Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses based upon a Claim brought against a Symbeeo Indemnified Party by a third party that: (a) is an Excluded Claim and/or (b) that arises out of (i) its breach of applicable law (including Export Control and Sanctions Laws (as defined below)); and/or (ii) Customer’s Integrated Products.
9.3 Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified party will promptly notify the indemnifying party of any Claim requiring indemnification; provided that if the indemnified party fails to promptly notify the indemnifying party, this will only affect the indemnifying party’s obligations to the extent the indemnified party’s failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend the Claim. The indemnifying party will undertake the sole and complete defense of any such Claim, but the indemnified party will have the right to participate in the defense with counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense. The indemnifying party will have the right to settle the Claim; provided that, it will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, agree to a settlement of any Claim which could lead to liability or create any obligation or admission of wrongdoing on the part of or on behalf of the indemnified party (other than to cease using any infringing materials). The indemnified party will cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s cost and reasonable request, in the defense and settlement of the Claim.

Based on the foregoing, the rule of construction, if any, that a contract be construed against the drafter shall not apply to interpretation or construction of these Terms.

Nonperformance of any party (other than with respect to payment obligations) will be excused to the extent that performance is rendered impracticable by strike, fire, earthquake, flood, governmental acts or orders or restrictions, failure of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of the nonperforming party.
13.4 Assignment. Customer may not assign or transfer any rights or delegate any duties under these Terms without Symbeeo’s prior written consent. Symbeeo may freely assign or transfer its rights or delegate its duties under these terms without notice or approval of Customer, including in connection with any merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise.
