“Buyer” shall mean the entity issuing this Order. However, Buyer may purchase the goods or services described in this Order with the intent to transfer such goods or services to one or more of Buyers affiliated or related companies or clients, and such affiliated or related companies or clients shall be deemed intended third-party beneficiaries under this Order and all rights of Buyer, and all obligations and warranties of Vendor, contained in this Order shall inure to the benefit of such affiliated or related companies or clients.

This Order may be accepted by Vendor only on the exact terms and conditions set forth herein, any attachment hereto, and any document or agreement incorporated by reference, all of which shall constitute the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of the agreement between Vendor and Buyer regarding the purchase and sale of items/work covered by this Order; any additional or different terms and conditions contained in Vendors invoice or other documents shall be deemed material alterations within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, shall not become part of any agreement between Vendor and Buyer.

Inclusion of express warranties and representations by Vendor shall not be deemed a waiver of such other warranties as may be implied or expressly set forth in law or fact.

Vendor shall execute a Form W-9 in the form specified by Buyer as a condition to being paid and acknowledges that payment hereunder by Buyer may be subject to tax withholding as required by applicable law. Before final settlement of Vendors obligations and payment by Buyer, Vendor shall satisfy Buyer of the payment and release of all debts, taxes, liens, claims, charges, and obligations of Vendor arising by operation of law, or otherwise, out of Vendors performance of this Agreement. Buyer may withhold funds due Vendor hereunder or otherwise, without interest, sufficient to assure itself of the discharge of all such obligations or to satisfy any provisions of law relating to any claims it may have against Vendor arising from this Agreement or its performance. 

Time for Vendors performance is of the essence under this Order. Vendor shall immediately notify Buyer if Vendor will not be able to perform, deliver or complete all or any part of this Order by the specified delivery or completion date (and shall specify the earliest possible time for such performance, delivery, or completion); whereupon Buyer shall have the option to cancel all or any part of this Order without obligation to Vendor other than notice and without prejudice to any of Buyers other rights or remedies under this Order or at law. Buyer shall have the right to inspect all items, work, and products of the work and reject any and all items, work, and products of the work which are not delivered or completed in the quantities ordered or by the specified date(s) or do not comply with any warranty or other requirement of this Order; however, in the event of acceptance, such action shall not be construed as a waiver of Buyer’s right to recover damages for late delivery or completion, nor shall Buyer be obligated to accept further items or work under this Order. To the extent Vendor is performing work under this Order, Buyer may terminate this Order at any time, without cause, upon 10 days written notice to Vendor; in such event, Buyers sole obligation to Vendor shall be to pay for work completed through the date of termination (including any proven loss of reasonable profits sustained based upon the percentage of work completed through the date of termination), provided Vendor complies with any instructions from Buyer in its notice, but in no event shall Vendor be entitled to recovery of any unabsorbed overhead, anticipatory profits or damages for termination except as expressly set forth in this paragraph. 

Vendor shall maintain in strict confidence and not disclose to any other person or entity, all nonpublic, confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information acquired or learned from Buyer without Buyer's prior written permission, which may be withheld in the absolute discretion of Buyer. For any item and/or work specially fabricated or produced,  Buyer shall have the exclusive right, title, and interest in and to all inventions, works of authorship, methods, processes, designs, molds, tooling, and other properties made or acquired by Vendor under this Order (collectively, “Work Product”) immediately upon the creation of such Work Product; and Vendor hereby grants and assigns to Buyer all such right, title and interest (including, without limitation, reproduction, manufacturing, and moral rights throughout the universe in perpetuity and in all languages and in any and all media whether now or hereafter known) with respect to such Work Product and agrees to execute (and cause its employees and independent contractors to execute) any applications, registrations, assignments or other documents that Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to obtain all such right, title, and interest. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vendor acknowledges that the work to which this Order pertains, if it constitutes copyrightable subject matter, is work(s) made for hire for Buyer the copyright(s) for which are owned by Buyer or its designee and that to the extent that such work does not qualify as work(s) for hire, Vendor hereby assigns to Buyer all right, title and interest Vendor may have in the work. 

While this Order remains in effect and for one year thereafter, Vendor shall maintain Product Liability and Commercial General Liability Insurance to include contractual and products/completed operations, with minimum limits of $2,000,000 on an occurrence form basis, and Automobile Liability coverage with a minimum combined single limits of $2,000,000 protecting it and Buyer from claims for personal injury (including bodily injury and death) and property damage which may arise from or in connection with Vendors performance hereunder or from or out of any negligent act or omission of Vendor, its officers, directors, employees, agents or subcontractors. To the extent this Order includes Vendors performance of services on property owned, leased, or designated by Buyer, Vendor shall also maintain Workers Compensation Insurance as required by applicable law and Employers Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence. All such insurance shall be with companies and on forms acceptable to Buyer and shall provide that coverage may not be reduced or canceled unless 30 days prior written notice is furnished to Buyer. All insurance shall be primary and not contributory with regard to any other insurance available to Buyer. All insurance shall be written by companies with a BEST Guide rating of B+VII or better, and such policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation and, except for Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, shall include Buyer, its parent, and all subsidiary and affiliated companies as additional insurers. Before providing any goods or services hereunder, Vendor will provide Buyer a certificate evidencing such coverage and indicating Buyer will receive written notice of any non-renewal, cancellation, or material change in coverage at least 30 days before the effective date thereof. Failure of Vendor to provide such certificate shall constitute a material breach of this Order. 

Vendor shall defend (if required by Buyer and with counsel selected by Buyer), indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, and the officers, directors, employees and agents of each, from all claims, demands, liabilities, actions, judgments, damages, losses, settlements, costs and expenses (including without limitation penalties, interest and attorney fees) arising directly or indirectly from or out of any actual or alleged: (a) defect in design, material or workmanship of the goods or services ordered hereunder; (b) infringement of a patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property right of a third party, or misappropriation of trade secrets or other confidential information of a third party, regarding any item, work or product of work; (c) price discrimination or price fixing regarding any of the prices specified herein; (d) negligent or willful act, error or omission of Vendor, its officers, directors, employees, agents, invitees or subcontractors; (e) failure by Vendor to perform any of its obligations hereunder; (f) breach of the warranties (express , implied and by statute) and representations made by Vendor herein; and (g) any occupational injury or illness sustained by an employee or agent of Vendor in furtherance of this Order. Vendor expressly and unconditionally waives its rights to raise as a defense to its obligations under this paragraph any intervening, contributing or comparative negligence (whether active or passive) by Buyer. The foregoing indemnity shall not be limited by the insurance requirements of paragraph 7. If Buyer brings an action against the Vendor to enforce any provision of this Agreement and prevails therein, Buyer may recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other remedy it may have at law or in equity. 

This Order shall be governed by the laws of the state of Connecticut (the “Governing State”), without regard to the Governing States principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this Order that cannot be resolved by good faith negotiations shall be submitted for trial, without a jury, to a court in the Governing State having subject matter jurisdiction. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and agree to expressly waive all rights to a trial by jury. Vendor is an independent contractor and nothing herein shall be construed to create a partnership, employment, agency, or joint venture relationship between Vendor and Buyer. This Order, and any rights and obligations hereunder, may not be subcontracted or assigned by Vendor, nor shall it be assignable by operation of law, without Buyers prior written permission, which may be withheld in the absolute discretion of Buyer. No waiver of any breach, right, or remedy shall constitute a continuing waiver, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any other breach, right, or remedy. This Order may be supplemented or modified only by a written agreement between Vendor and Buyer. This Order shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not against either of the parties. 

All notices given hereunder shall, unless otherwise specifically provided, be given in writing, by personal delivery, mail, electronic mail, or facsimile transmission at the respective addresses of Vendor and Buyer set forth in this Order, unless either party at any time or times designate another address for itself by notifying the other party thereof by certified mail, in which case all notices to such party shall thereafter be given at its most recently so designated address. Notice given by mail shall be deemed given on the date of mailing thereof with postage prepaid.
