2.4
All requirements of MILTENYI BIOTEC’S current ordering procedure must be followed by CUSTOMER for orders and CUSTOMER must provide all information required. Please contact MILTENYI BIOTEC for the current procedure and requirements.
3 PERFORMANCE, DELIVERY, TITLE, ETC.
3.1
All shipments shall be FOB MILTENYI BIOTEC’s facility. Title and risk of loss or damage to the Goods and any deliverables of the Services shall pass to Customer upon MILTENYI BIOTEC’s making delivery to a carrier at such facility in good condition, consigned to Customer, or as Customer may direct.
3.2
Representations as to delivery dates are approximate only, unless MILTENYI BIOTEC has given an expressly binding commitment, signed by an authorized representative of MILTENYI BIOTEC. Partial delivery or performance of Goods and Services under this Agreement shall be permitted unless Customer has expressly stated in writing on the face of Customer’s purchase order that partial delivery will not be accepted.
3.3
MILTENYI BIOTEC shall not be liable for any delay in performance or nonperformance as the result of war, fire, flood, accidents, acts of God, terrorism, embargoes, acts of third parties, acts of governmental authority or any agency or commission thereof, breakdown of equipment, shortages of material, labor or power, labor strikes, work stoppage or labor unrest, or any other cause beyond MILTENYI BIOTEC’s reasonable control. If any of the foregoing events occurs, MILTENYI BIOTEC may make deliveries of the Goods and Services proportionate to production and/or postpone the shipment or delivery period of the Goods and Services to a reasonable time after the difficulty has ceased, or MILTENYI BIOTEC may, at its option upon notice given to Customer within twenty (20) days after the commencement of any such event, declare this Agreement terminated and all rights and liabilities of MILTENYI BIOTEC and Customer, except with respect to Goods and Services previously shipped or performed or in MILTENYI BIOTEC’s inventory, shall cease and terminate. MILTENYI BIOTEC shall have no obligation to buy in the open market any article to be used in MILTENYI BIOTEC’s manufacture or processing when the supplier thereof has defaulted in delivery.
3.4
If this Agreement calls for more than one shipment of Goods or delivery of Services, each shipment and delivery shall constitute a separate sale under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Customer agrees to accept each shipment and delivery and pay each invoice in full when due at the contract prices regardless of controversies relating to other delivered or non-delivered Goods or Services. If Customer fails to accept or pay for shipment or delivery, or in the event a dispute arises concerning MILTENYI BIOTEC’s performance hereunder, then MILTENYI BIOTEC may, without prejudice to any other lawful remedy and without any liability to Customer, (i) defer further performance hereunder until acceptance or payment by Customer of all previous shipments and deliveries or until the dispute shall have been resolved, or (ii) terminate this Agreement with respect to any unaccepted or undeliverable portion, in which case Customer shall be responsible for any expense or loss sustained by MILTENYI BIOTEC in connection with this Agreement.

4.1
The full amount of each invoice for Goods and Services hereunder shall be paid net 30 days from the date of the invoice unless otherwise stated on the face hereof.

MILTENYI BIOTEC reserves the right to assess a late fee equal to two percent (2%) per month or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, on all amounts not paid when due, calculated on a daily basis beginning with the 1st day following the invoice due date. Any check or remittance received from or for the account of Customer may be accepted and applied by MILTENYI BIOTEC against any indebtedness owing by Customer, without prejudice to, or the discharge of, the remainder of any such indebtedness regardless of any condition, provision, statement, legend or notation appearing on, referring to or accompanying any check or remittance.
4.4
At any time, when in MILTENYI BIOTEC’s opinion the financial condition of Customer so warrants, or if Customer fails to make payment when due or otherwise defaults hereunder, MILTENYI BIOTEC may change any terms of payment, suspend any credit previously extended to Customer, require partial or full payment in advance and delay shipment until such terms are met, and pursue any other remedies available at law. In such event, if Customer refuses to accept such changes, any outstanding order may be cancelled without any liability to MILTENYI BIOTEC.

5 LIMITED WARRANTY

Customer's failure to give notice of any claim within the applicable time period specified above, shall be deemed an absolute and unconditional waiver of such claim, irrespective of whether the facts giving rise to such claim shall have been discovered or whether processing or use of the Goods or Services shall have then taken place.
5.4
Returned Goods must be returned freight prepaid by the Customer and will not be accepted without a return goods authorization (RGA) of MILTENYI BIOTEC.

ACCORDINGLY, CUSTOMER AGREES THAT MILTENYI BIOTEC SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH CUSTOMER’S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE GOODS OR SERVICES.

In no event (including unenforceability of the above limitations and independent of any failure of essential purpose of the limited warranty and remedies provided hereunder) shall MILTENYI BIOTEC’s aggregate liability for damages under this Agreement exceed the purchase price previously paid by Customer for the non-conforming Goods or Services. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Section 6.2 are integral to the prices charged under this Agreement and that, were MILTENYI BIOTEC to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein; such prices would of necessity be set substantially higher.

Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless MILTENYI BIOTEC from and against any and all losses, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any way arising out of or relating to (a) any use of the Goods not in compliance with the uses stated above, (b) any failure of Customer to comply with good laboratory practice, laws, regulations, guidelines or decisions in the handling or use of the Goods, (c) any violation or infringement of any patent or other proprietary rights of third parties by Customer in the handling or use of the Goods, or (d) any other use or misuse of the Goods by Customer.
