5. Helpline Premium

 

Helpline Premium is a secured remote connection via the internet (more specifically, a VPN connection to the Buyer’s plant internal network) that will provide the Seller full monitoring access to all PLCs, drives and control systems of the Equipment. Should the Equipment experience a failure, Seller can then analyze / troubleshoot the situation and all available information in an effort to identify the reasons. Seller’s specialist can guide Buyer on-line through a process of defect analysis and provide advice for the correction of the defect. Such analysis may enable the Equipment to be restored to production without the need for Seller to dispatch a specialized technician to Buyer’s site. Should an on-site intervention be required, Helpline Premium helps ensure that the right technician is dispatched with the right spare parts. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a one-hour response time for any of Buyer’s connection requests. The Equipment includes the necessary hardware and software to make it ready for internet connectivity. However, in order for Buyer to implement Helpline Premium, Buyer must provide the following at Buyer’s expense: (i) Internet access with an upload data transfer rate equal to or faster than 256kbit/s; (ii) necessary infrastructure to connect the Equipment to Buyer’s LAN including, but not limited to: cables, Ethernet-hub etc.; and (iii) power outlet (110-230VAC/50-60Hz/Monophase 1A) dedicated to the RSSD (Remote Service System Device).

 

The initial Helpline Premium subscription is included as part of this Agreement and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the entire warranty period defined in this Agreement (the “Warranty Period”). At the conclusion of the Warranty Period, the Helpline Premium subscription shall automatically renew and remain in force unless Buyer notifies Seller in writing no later than thirty (30) days prior to the conclusion of the Warranty Period that Buyer chooses not to renew Helpline Premium upon conclusion of the Warranty Period. The annual price for Helpline Premium at the conclusion of the Warranty Period shall be at Seller’s list pricing in effect at that time.

 

It is understood by the parties hereto that when providing remote assistance, Seller’s personnel is not in a position to gain adequate information on the state of repair of the Equipment and under no circumstances can Seller’s personnel be expected to comment on the safety or otherwise of the Equipment. Should Seller nonetheless draw the attention of Buyer to a perceived safety issue, Buyer agrees not to use the Equipment until such time that adequate measures have been taken to ensure the safe operation of the Equipment.

 

By entering into this Agreement with Seller, Buyer agrees that Seller will provide services with the web, internet or other electronic medium, such as remote assistance and e-maintenance and Buyer further agrees that Equipment identified herein may be assisted and maintained remotely by Seller. Buyer further agrees that Seller may use the data provided to Seller pursuant to this Agreement for the purpose of providing the remote services.

 

Buyer agrees by signing this Agreement that Seller will be able to access Equipment data (“the Data”) and that Seller collects, stores, uses and discloses the data (only within its Group or its sub-contractors) necessary for the purposes defined above. Buyer agrees to the use of Buyer’s data in accordance with Seller’s “Data Privacy Protection Policy for Highway Products” which can be found on Seller’s website https://cssusa.Sellergroup.com/css/privacyterms/BGNAHighwayPrivacyPolicy.htm or, upon request, a copy will be sent by email, fax or mail. Buyer agrees that it is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with any account used to access Helpline Premium.”

General Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) Attached To and Made a Part of the

Bobst North America Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”)

 

1. Definitions. “Seller” means Bobst North America Inc. and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates. “Equipment” means all machinery, equipment, parts, accessories and attachments described in the Agreement or any other machinery, parts, accessories and attachments provided by Seller. Seller reserves the right to supply the Equipment from any of its manufacturing affiliates located throughout the world. The sale or furnishing of any replacements, additions, attachments, accessories or repairs to the Equipment which are made or delivered subsequent to the sale of the Equipment shall not cause or create any extension of the guarantees or warranties made herein with respect to the Equipment nor shall they change the effective date on which the Equipment is delivered by Seller. .

 

2. Payments and Taxes. Payments shall be made in United States currency by certified or bank check drawn against United States banks or wire transfer. If Buyer defaults in the payment of any amount due, Seller shall be entitled to collect interest thereon at the maximum legal rate.

In case this clause is violated by either party, the party being held liable for a violation shall indemnify the other party for any negative consequence suffered from such violation (i.e. penalties, fines, legal and court expenses), according to the degree of responsibility for the violation.

 

4. Buyer’s Responsibilities. Buyer shall be responsible for providing, at its cost and expense, the following: adequate clearance, floor loading capacity and elevator service, if required, for delivery of the Equipment to Buyer’s facility; all site preparation for the Equipment including, without limitation, sufficient floor load capacity, foundation, electrical service, wiring and utilities; environmental conditions including, without limitation, lighting, moisture control, air conditioning, heating and noise control required for the proper operation of the Equipment; competent journeymen operators for the Equipment; and permits/approvals for the delivery, installation and operation of the Equipment.

 

5. Security Agreement. To secure payment of any obligation of Buyer to Seller (including, but not limited to, Seller’s charges for service and parts for the Equipment or any other equipment), Buyer hereby grants Seller a security interest in the Equipment together with all parts, accessories, attachments, additions, accessions, substitutions, improvements and replacements thereto or thereof and all proceeds from insurance, sale or disposition. Buyer acknowledges that the Equipment is and shall remain personalty and will provide Seller with a landlord/owner waiver, in form acceptable to Seller, subordinating any rights of the landlord/owner in the Equipment to Seller’s rights in the Equipment.

 

6. Default and Remedies. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Buyer: failure to make any payment when due; failure to comply with or perform any provision of this Agreement; false or misleading representations or warranties made or given by Buyer; assertion of any lien, levy or other judicial process against the Equipment or diminishment or impairment of Buyer’s rights in or to the Equipment; voluntary or involuntary commencement of any proceeding under which Buyer is subjected to or seeks relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding; any act of Buyer which results in the substantial reduction in the value of the Equipment or imperils the prospect of full performance or satisfaction of Buyer’s obligations hereunder; any modification to the Equipment without Seller’s written consent; if Buyer sells, encumbers or otherwise disposes of the Equipment while title thereto remains in Seller; or if Buyer is in default of any other obligation to Seller or any company affiliated with Seller. Upon any default by Buyer, and at the option of Seller, all sums payable under this Agreement and any other amount due Seller shall immediately become due and payable in full without notice or demand to Buyer and Seller shall have all the rights, remedies and privileges as are accorded to Seller by law including, without limitation, those pertaining to repossession, retention and sale of the Equipment and disposition of the proceeds. In addition, Seller may also enter, with or without legal process, into or upon the premises where the Equipment or any part thereof may be located and take possession of the Equipment, or render it unusable, or dispose of the Equipment (in such event Buyer agrees not to resist or interfere with Seller’s actions); or require Buyer to make the Equipment available to Seller at a place reasonably designated by Seller to enable Seller to dispose of the Equipment. If Seller exercises its option to retake the Equipment, it may resell the Equipment at public or private sale.

Buyer shall remain liable to Seller for any deficiency. Seller shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other fees, costs and expenses incurred by Seller if Buyer defaults or Seller is successful in defending a claim asserted by Buyer.

 

7. Buyer’s Credit and Third-Party Financing. If, in the judgment of Seller, Buyer’s financial condition has changed, Seller shall have the right to cancel the Agreement unless Buyer provides such additional security as Seller may require or makes full payment of the balance of the price. Such cancellation shall be without prejudice to Seller’s claim for damages. In the event Buyer elects to lease the Equipment or secure financing of the purchase price from a third party and such third party purchases and takes title to the Equipment from Seller for subsequent lease or conditional sale to Buyer, the obligations of Buyer to Seller under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be enforceable in all respects as if Buyer had purchased the Equipment from Seller. In no event shall Buyer take by assignment from such third party any rights or remedies against Seller other than those contained herein.

8. Safety Appliances and Pollution Control. The cost of all safety appliances and air and noise pollution control devices which are not expressly specified as part of the Equipment sold hereunder and the cost of compliance with all federal, state, local and other governmental electrical, safety, pollution, and sanitary codes and regulations (“Codes”) are not included in the purchase price hereunder and shall be borne by Buyer. Buyer shall provide all plans and specifications for the installation of any Equipment, which may be required on account of Codes. Buyer shall be responsible for ascertaining and complying with Codes and Seller shall not be liable for any damages resulting from non-compliance with Codes in the installation or use of the Equipment.

 

9. Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Seller shall be responsible for compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 as amended and any similar statute (“OSHA”) except that: (a) Buyer shall provide ladders, platforms and similar items and other equipment as required by OSHA and shall be liable therefor; (b) Seller shall not be liable for air pollution caused by use of the Equipment unless proper anti-pollution devices have been purchased from Seller for use with the Equipment and same are properly used and maintained, in which event Seller shall be responsible only as of the date of the Agreement and only to the extent that the use of the Equipment is in accordance with the use specified at the time of the purchase of such air pollution devices; (c) Seller shall not be liable for exceeding the noise limitations prescribed by OSHA when noise other than that created by the Equipment sold hereunder is a contributing factor to any violation or alleged violation by OSHA or when noise is created by the excessive wear of any part or parts of the Equipment or for Buyer’s failure to properly use or maintain same; and (d) wiring meets OSHA standards, which uses the National Electrical Code (NEC) as its basis, with the exception of areas which because of their technological nature, and or design functions are not addressed by the NEC. The Equipment is designed to the current state of the art and to Seller’s understanding meets the intent of the current OSHA requirements. If local (job site) OSHA inspection results in a different interpretation, Seller will provide technical assistance to Buyer in contesting such interpretation.

 

If Buyer is found in violation of OSHA upon an inspection of its premises by an authorized agent of the United States Government and such alleged violation resulted from the Equipment purchased pursuant to this Agreement, Seller, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to engineer and manufacture such modifications to the Equipment as may be necessary to cure such violation provided, however, that if Seller, in its sole discretion, determines that no violation of OSHA in fact existed, Seller shall have the right in the name of Buyer to appeal any such violation. Seller shall have no responsibility for a violation or alleged violation of OSHA if the Equipment is altered or modified by Buyer or if Buyer erects or installs any additions or accessories thereto, or fails to properly use or maintain same. Buyer warrants and will assume all expense for continuing maintenance, testing, and any other changes necessary to maintain compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and any other applicable laws and regulations.

 

10. “Performance”, “Operating”, and “Production” Speeds. Where reference is made in any specification provided by Seller to “performance” speed of the Equipment sold hereunder, “performance” speed is not to be confused with the (1) “operating” speed or (2) “average” (or “production”) speed of the Equipment and does not constitute a representation or warranty as to normal operating speed of the Equipment. The “performance” speed set forth in such specifications represents the maximum mechanical potential of the Equipment operating under optimum conditions. The “operating” speed means the actual running or operating speed under normal plant conditions and normal use. The “performance” (maximum) speed and “operating” (normal) speed of the Equipment are both dependent upon the quality, nature and consistency of the stock and other materials used on the Equipment, the level of competency of the personnel operating or supervising the operation of the Equipment, the humidity and temperature conditions in the pressroom and material storage room, and such other conditions as may exist at the premises where the Equipment is situated. The “average” or “production” speed of the Equipment will be influenced by the aforementioned factors at Buyer’s premises and also by start-up time, stops, normal downtime, interruptions and other on-site conditions at the plant where the Equipment is situated. Accordingly, the “average” or “production” speed will commonly be less than both the “performance” (maximum) and “operating” (normal) speeds of the Equipment.

 

11. Warranty. THE WARRANTIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS PROVISION AND THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF SELLER SET FORTH HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES AND LIABILITIES . The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no other representations or warranties were made to or relied upon by Buyer.

A. Warranty For New Equipment . Provided Buyer complies with its obligations under the Agreement and that the Agreement provides for the Equipment to be installed under the supervision of Seller’s technician(s) and for Buyer’s personnel to be trained by Seller, Seller warrants that the components of the Equipment which have been manufactured by Seller shall, under normal use, be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date the Equipment is delivered to Buyer’s facility. If Buyer claims, within the warranty period, that a defect exists, Seller reserves the right to demonstrate that there is no defect. If a defect exists, Seller’s sole responsibility shall be to repair or replace any defect during normal working hours or, at its option, Seller may rescind this Agreement and, in such event, Seller’s only obligation shall be to refund amounts previously paid by Buyer without interest upon Seller’s removal of the Equipment from Buyer’s facility. If Seller repairs or replaces a defective part, this shall not extend the term of the warranty. Rather, the warranty on the repaired or replaced part shall be for the then remaining period of the original warranty.

 

B. Warranty Limits and Disclaimer For Parts or Units Not Manufactured by Seller . Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any breach of warranty or breach of contract on account of any defect in the Equipment or failure of the Equipment to operate properly where the cause thereof is attributable to a defect in the work, labor, services or materials employed in parts or integral units of the Equipment which are not manufactured by Seller. Component parts or integral units of the Equipment not manufactured by Seller are sold only under such warranty as the manufacturer of such parts or units may give to Seller and only to the extent enforceable by Seller on behalf of Buyer.

 

C. Warranty Disclaimer For Used Equipment . The warranties contained in this Agreement shall only apply to new equipment. If the Equipment or any part thereof is described as used, unless otherwise specifically provided for in writing signed by the Seller, USED EQUIPMENT IS SOLD “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS” and SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

Buyer must make a warranty claim within the one (1) year warranty period or thirty (30) days after such defect is first discovered, whichever comes first. Seller shall not be liable under any warranty if: (a) Buyer is in default of its obligations to Seller; or (b) Seller determines that the defect was caused by normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse, improper application, improper operation, improper maintenance, use of improper oils or lubricants, alteration, repair or modification, negligence in use, casualty, storage, handling or any other cause beyond the control of Seller. The remedies set forth herein shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of warranty. If any samples, technical literature, illustrations, catalogues or other documents have been shown to Buyer, they shall not give rise to any express or implied warranty except to the extent that such warranties are specifically set forth in writing in this Agreement.

 

12. Limitation of Liability, Safety and Indemnification. In no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer, or to Buyer’s officers, employees or representatives, or to any third party, for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages including, but not limited to, loss of profit or revenues, loss of use of equipment, damage to associated equipment, cost of capital, cost of substitute products, facilities or service, or downtime costs. If Buyer is entitled to direct damages, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall the direct damages exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost of the Equipment or services upon which the claim for damages is based. Buyer assumes all risks and liabilities for any loss, damage or injury to persons, property, or the environment arising out of, connected with or resulting from the use or subsequent sale of the Equipment, either alone or in combination with other products. Buyer expressly agrees that the remedies granted to it in this Agreement are Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any claim of Buyer arising under and/or related to the Equipment and this Agreement. During the life of the Equipment, Buyer agrees to provide to all Equipment users (including its own employees and independent contractors) all of Seller’s safety information as contained in warnings, instructions and owner’s manuals, and to adequately train all users in the safe use and maintenance of the Equipment including, but not limited to, use of safety features of the Equipment such as guards and interlocks. Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) to the extent that they relate to or have been caused by Buyer’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or Buyer’s negligence.

 

13. Patents. If any claim is asserted or action commenced against Buyer based upon a claim that the Equipment or any part thereof manufactured or sold by Seller constitutes an infringement of any U.S. Letters Patent or Trademark, Buyer shall give immediate notice thereof to Seller. Seller shall have the exclusive right, at its own expense, to conduct any litigation and/or settlement negotiations with respect to such claim or action. However, Buyer shall render all reasonable assistance required by Seller in the defense of the claim or action. Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below, Seller shall pay such portion of the damages awarded against Buyer in such action as are allocable to the infringing Equipment or parts manufactured or sold by Seller, to the exclusion of any damages awarded for the use of such Equipment or part. In no event shall Seller’s liability to Buyer exceed the purchase price of the infringing Equipment or part. If the Equipment or any part thereof manufactured or sold by Seller is held to be an infringement in such action, and the use thereof is enjoined or if, as a result of a claim or settlement, Seller deems the continued use thereof inadvisable, Seller may, at its sole option and expense, (a) procure for Buyer the right to continue using said Equipment or parts, (b) replace said Equipment or parts with non-infringing equipment or parts, (c) modify said Equipment or parts so that they are no longer infringing, or (d) refund the purchase price of the Equipment or parts, without interest, less reasonable depreciation and remove the Equipment or parts from Buyer’s place of business. The obligations of Seller set forth in this Section shall be null and void and Seller shall have no liability whatever to Buyer on account of any judgment, award or damages suffered by Buyer arising out of such claim or action, if (a) Buyer does not give immediate notice to Seller of such claim or action, (b) Buyer does not render all assistance reasonably required by Seller in the defense of such action or claim, (c) Buyer interferes with Seller’s defense thereof, (d) the Equipment or any part thereof has been changed or altered, has been combined with equipment or parts not manufactured by Seller, or has not been used in accordance with Seller’s specifications, or (e) the Equipment, or any part thereof, was manufactured by Seller in accordance with Buyer’s designs, blueprints, samples, or specifications, in which case Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees), injuries or loss arising out of any claims or actions related to the manufacture, use or sale thereof. THE FOREGOING SETS FORTH THE SELLER’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR PATENT OR TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT INVOLVING THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY PART THEREOF. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant any license or right to Buyer, express or implied, under any patents or patent application, design patent or trademark owned or controlled by Seller.

14. Specifications/Documents. The specifications and all other documents supplied pursuant to and in connection with this Agreement are the property of Seller and are being made available to Buyer on a non-exclusive basis as long as Buyer owns the Equipment. The specifications and documents shall not be used by Buyer in any manner for manufacture or for the purchase or other acquisition of similar equipment from any competitor of Seller nor will Buyer display, exhibit, or otherwise make available such specifications and documents to any competitor of Seller or third party without Seller’s prior written approval.

 

15. Adjudication of Disputes, Service, Applicable Law and Limitation of Actions. Any controversy or dispute between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey and, unless an alternative jurisdiction is selected by Seller, shall be adjudicated exclusively in the State Courts of the State of New Jersey. Unless Seller selects a different jurisdiction, Buyer consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State Courts of the State of New Jersey. Service of process by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, shall be sufficient to commence suit and Buyer waives any right to personal service of process. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. Provided, however, if Seller so directs, any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the performance or breach thereof shall be resolved by binding arbitration, in which event the following conditions shall apply: the arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS/ENDISPUTE or such other alternate dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider as may be agreed upon by the parties (the “ADR Service Provider”); there shall be one arbitrator; the arbitrator shall decide the dispute applying the laws of the State of New Jersey; the arbitration shall take place in the State of New Jersey at a location selected by Seller; the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the ADR Service Provider’s then current rules for arbitration of business disputes; the parties shall be entitled to reasonable discovery (if the parties cannot agree upon the guidelines for discovery, the guidelines shall be determined by the arbitrator); the decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive; judgment on the decision of the arbitrator may be entered in the highest court of any forum, federal or state, having jurisdiction; and the arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of the compensatory damages permitted by the Agreement and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover such other damages. If the parties cannot agree upon the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected from a list of at least six (6) arbitrators provided by the ADR Service Provider in accordance with the following procedure: each party shall rank the arbitrators on the list by number, with one being the highest rank; the arbitrator with the best ranking (i.e., the lowest combined number ranking) shall be the arbitrator; and if two have the same ranking, the ADR Service Provider shall select one of the two. Nothing contained herein shall prevent a party from applying to a court having jurisdiction for emergent equitable relief. Unless a longer period is provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, any action or proceeding by Buyer against Seller, including any claim for Seller’s breach of contract or breach of warranty, must be commenced within one (1) year after Buyer knew or should have known about the cause of action, whichever occurs first.

 

16. Finish. The Equipment shall be finished in the manufacturer’s standard finish, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties at the time of execution of this Agreement and specified herein.

 

17. Miscellaneous. The parties specifically exclude the provisions of the United Nations Convention On Contracts For the International Sale of Goods. Section headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret or change the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its plain meaning and not against either party as the drafting party. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties. All oral understandings, agreements, representations or warranties between Seller and Buyer have been superceded and replaced by this Agreement. No alterations, modifications, deletions, additions or changes in or to this Agreement, whether by Buyer’s purchase order or otherwise, shall be binding unless embodied in a writing signed by both parties. Buyer shall not assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent. Seller’s failure at any time to insist upon strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of any term or condition. Seller may assign the payments due under this Agreement. Upon notice from the Seller that all or any of the payments have been assigned (the “Assignment Notice”), Buyer will make the payments so assigned to the assignee as directed by the Assignment Notice. In the event of such assignment, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it will look solely to the Seller for the performance of Seller’s obligations under the Agreement; (ii) the right of the assignee to receive and the Buyer to make all assigned payments, shall not be subject to any defense, set-off or counterclaim; and (iii) it will execute and deliver such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Seller or the assignee to implement such assignment and/or evidence Buyer’s consent to such assignment. If any provision contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall, if possible, be reformed and construed in such manner that it will, to the maximum extent practical, be deemed to be valid and enforceable. If that is not possible, the provision shall be deemed omitted and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Seller shall not be liable for any costs, expenses or damages or be deemed to be in default of this Agreement as a result of any delay in performance including, but not limited to, a delay caused by any act of God, labor problem, act of a governmental entity, accident, unavailability or delay in obtaining labor, parts or equipment, terrorism or any cause beyond Seller’s control. If there is any conflict between a provision in the Terms and Conditions and a provision found elsewhere in this Agreement, the provision found in the other portion of this Agreement shall control. Notices and consents required by this Agreement shall be in writing and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by recognized overnight courier with a copy, if possible, sent by facsimile. This Agreement shall, when signed by Buyer or otherwise adopted by Buyer, constitute Buyer’s offer to buy the Equipment. An authorized officer of Seller must accept the offer in writing in order to create a binding agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, acceptance of a deposit or other payment from the Buyer shall not constitute acceptance by the Seller. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the parties, Seller’s acceptance is expressly made conditional on Buyer’s acceptance of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and no others. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission or by electronic transmission in PDF format via email shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties and shall have the same force and effect as delivery of original signatures and that each party may use such electronic or facsimile signatures as evidence of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by all parties to the same extent that an original signature could be used.
