Purchaser may charge to Seller all expense of inspecting, unpacking, examining, repacking, storing, and reshipping any goods rejected as aforesaid.

Warranty
Supplier warrants and represents to Purchaser that the Goods and/or related items shall be free from defects in design, material and workmanship. The failure of any Goods and/or related items shall be referenced herein as a “Defect.” Supplier shall, at Supplier’s expense, correct any defect in any of the Goods and/or related items by replacing such Goods and/or related items, provided that Supplier may repair any Defect upon mutual agreement of Supplier and Purchaser if such repair will not adversely affect the appearance, function, or performance of such Goods and/or related items.

INSPECTION
All goods and services will be subject to inspection and test by Purchaser at all times and places, including the period of manufacture and in any event prior to final acceptance. Final acceptance or rejection of the goods or services will be made as promptly as practical after delivery except as otherwise provided in this Order, but failure to inspect and accept or reject goods or services or failure to detect defects by inspection, will neither relieve Seller from responsibility for such goods or services as are not in accordance with this Order nor impose liabilities on Purchaser for them. Purchaser's payment for the goods shall not constitute its acceptance of the goods.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this agreement, in the event of any breach of the provisions of these terms and conditions resulting from Supplier’s performance or failure to perform hereunder, Supplier shall be liable to Purchaser for any actual proven damages incurred by Purchaser.
Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its affiliates harmless and, on Purchaser’s request, shall defend each of them from and against any or all third party claims, demands, litigation, or proceedings of whatever kind, whether based upon negligence, breach of express or implied warranty, product liability, strict liability, infringement of intellectual property rights, as a result of any alleged violation of United States, state or international laws associated with export or shipping of items or product compliance, or any other theory, and from and against all direct, indirect, special, exemplary, incidental or consequential damages of every kind whatsoever, arising out of, by reason of, or in any way connected with the goods and/or services, the design, manner of preparation, manufacture, construction, completion, or delivery or non-delivery of any goods and/or services by Seller, any breach by Seller of any of its obligations hereunder, or any other act, omission or negligence of Seller or any of Seller's employees, workers, servants, agents, subcontractors, or suppliers, including but not limited to claims associated with bodily injury, property damage, and any and all other third party claims by parties alleging injuries of any type arising out of, by reason of, or in any way connected with the goods and/or services. Seller shall, on request, pay or reimburse Purchaser or any other party entitled to indemnification hereunder for all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, as incurred by Purchaser or such other party in connection with any such claim, demand, litigation, proceeding, loss, or damage. In addition, for infringement claims, Seller will, at its own expense and at Purchaser’s option, either procure for Purchaser the right to continue using the allegedly infringing item, replace it with a non-infringing equivalent, or remove it and refund the purchase price and the transportation and installation costs thereof.
