Terms and Conditions

BLI System Performance Warranty

Subject to Section 1.b and to Customer at all times using the BLI System in compliance with all terms and conditions of the system placement or sale, as applicable, and BLI provided documentation, including system user manuals, guides and technical bulletins (all collectively, “Documentation”), BLI warrants that the BLI System hardware and software will perform substantially in accordance with the BLI’s released specifications for the BLI System (“BLI Specifications”) for a period of thirteen (13) months after the date BLI ships the BLI System; provided, however, that, no warranty, express or implied, is provided or extended to results or data generated on the BLI System, by way of example but not of limitation, to data or results generated using Customer-provided cells and/or other biological materials in a BLI released workflow on the BLI System. Non-substantial variations of performance from the BLI Specifications do not establish a warranty right.

b. Warranty Claim. In the event of a warranty claim, Customer’s sole remedy and BLI’s entire obligation and liability shall be, at BLI’s option, to repair, replace or reconfigure the defective BLI System, or to correct, update or upgrade the defective BLI System, as applicable. BLI may use new, used, remanufactured, reconditioned, refurbished or functionally equivalent parts to perform such repair, replacement, or reconfiguration. BLI may require BLI Software Releases to be installed from time to time as a condition to the BLI System warranty. The warranty period for any BLI System furnished to correct a warranty failure will be the unexpired term of the warranty period applicable to the uncorrected product. All warranty claims must be made (i) to BLI in writing reasonably describing the failure, and (ii) within the applicable warranty period for the BLI System. BLI may issue, and require Customer to use, a return material authorization number to proceed with the warranty claim. BLI may require Customer to properly decontaminate, crate in BLI’s standard BLI System packaging, and return the BLI System to BLI. BLI will make a determination, in its sole discretion, as to whether the BLI System fails to perform substantially in accordance with the applicable BLI Specifications and, if so, whether such failure is covered by a BLI warranty that was in effect at the time of the warranty claim.

c. Voiding of Warranty. Notwithstanding anything else in this BLI System Performance Warranty, no warranty, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, shall extend to any BLI System if

• (i) Customer has violated any applicable use restriction, including but not limited any used outside of the Permitted Field(s) Of Use,
• (ii) Customer has violated the BLI microchip “single-use” restriction on the BLI System,
• (iii) Customer refused to allow BLI to install such BLI Software updates (or upgrades) that BLI believes, in its discretion, are necessary for the best operation of the BLI System,
• (iv) the failure of the BLI System arose out of or resulted from Customer’s (1) deployment or use of the BLI System not in compliance with the applicable Documentation, (2) use of the Beacon System by a person not trained by BLI, (3) use of the BLI System or component thereof in an application, method or process for which such BLI System or component thereof was not designed or configured by BLI for Customer, (4) use of its own media, biologics, or reagents that are not compatible with the BLI System, (5) alteration or modification of the BLI System not authorized in writing by BLI, including for example, installation of any non-BLI approved third party software updates or upgrades, (6) maintenance, repair, service or support of the BLI System by anyone other than BLI personnel or persons approved in advance in writing by BLI, (7) accident, force majeure, or activities or forces outside of normal use specifications set forth in the applicable Documentation, or (8) breach of any other contractual agreement between BLI and Customer,
• (v) Customer exposed the BLI System to Biosafety Level 3 or Biosafety Level 4 agents, or
• (vi) Customer fails to either (x) have in place a secure Internet connection that permits BLI to remotely monitor the use and operation of the BLI System and perform System diagnostic tasks, or (y) permit BLI to download the information of romanette (x) when BLI performs repairs or regular maintenance on the BLI System on-site at Customer’s facility.

d. As Is. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 1.a, THE BLI SYSTEM IS PROVIDED “AS IS”. BLI SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE. BLI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE BLI SYSTEM, OR ANY USE THEREOF, WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED OR VIRUS FREE, OR WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS.

e. Out-of-Warranty Repairs. If BLI determines that an issue or problem with the BLI System is not covered under the BLI System Performance Warranty (“Out-of-Warranty”), BLI will notify Customer of its determination, and provide Customer with an estimate of the cost for any Out-of-Warranty repairs. BLI will not proceed with the repair until Customer provides its written authorization to do so. All costs associated with BLI’s examination, authorized repair, and/or return shipment for Out-of-Warranty repairs shall be billed to Customer at BLI’s then-current commercial rates, and Customer shall bear the risk of loss associated with any BLI System if shipment to/from BLI or BLI’s manufacturer, is required.

Section 2. Data and Results.

BLI CANNOT CONTROL INDIVIDUAL CELLS OR BIOLOGY AND THE SAME OR SIMILAR CELLS AND CELL LINES CAN BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY AND, ACCORDINGLY, BLI DOES NOT WARRANT THE DATA AND RESULTS OF WORKFLOWS AND APPLICATIONS RUN ON THE BLI SYSTEM. THE DATA AND RESULTS OF WORKFLOWS AND APPLICATIONS RUN ON THE BLI SYSTEM ARE GENERATED “AS IS,” WITH NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND.

If BLI reasonably believes that Buyer’s use of any Beacon Platform or component thereof is likely to be enjoined, or if any Beacon Platform or component thereof is held to infringe such patent and all use of such Beacon Platform or component thereof by Buyer is thereby enjoined, BLI may, at its expense and option, (1) procure for Buyer the right to continue using such Beacon Platform or component thereof, (2) replace or modify such Beacon Platform or component thereof so that it becomes non-infringing, or, if (1) and (2) are not available to BLI, in its reasonable determination, then (3) request Buyer’s return of the allegedly infringing Beacon Platform(s), without any right of refund to Buyer.

5.2. BLI Defense Exclusions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, BLI shall have no liability or obligation to Buyer with respect to any intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, or claim thereof to the extent based upon (i) an application, method or process in which the Beacon Platform may be used where the Beacon Platform when used alone would not result in such infringement, including experiments designed in whole or in part by or for Buyer, (ii) use of the Beacon Platform or component thereof by Buyer in combination with software, hardware, devices, products or services not provided or specified in writing by BLI, (iii) use of the Beacon Platform or component thereof in an application, method or process for which such Beacon Platform or component thereof was not designed or configured by BLI for Buyer (e.g., use outside of the uses permitted hereunder), (iv) alterations or modifications of the Beacon Platform or component thereof not authorized in writing by BLI, (v) any cells, antibodies, reagents or other tangible biological materials provided by Buyer or other Buyer confidential information, or (vi) any workflows, scripts or processes modified or created by Buyer. Buyer shall defend and hold BLI harmless from and against any third party claim falling within the exclusions of romanettes (i)-(vi) of this Section 5.2.

Notwithstanding Section 4.1, no warranty, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, shall extend to any Lightning Platform: (i) that has been used in violation of any applicable use restriction; (ii) if Buyer has refused to allow BLI to install such BLI Software updates (or upgrades) that BLI believes, in its discretion, are necessary for the best operation of the Lightning Platform; (iii) if any failure has arisen or resulted from (1) installation, deployment or use not in compliance with the applicable Documentation, (2) use of a Lightning Platform by a person not trained by BLI, (3) use of a Lightning Platform or component thereof in an application, method or process for which such Lightning Platform or component thereof was not designed or configured by BLI for Buyer, (4) Buyer’s use of its own media or reagents that are not compatible with the Lightning Platform, (5) alteration or modification not authorized in writing by BLI, including for example, installation of any non-BLI approved third party software updates or upgrades, (6) maintenance, repair, service or support by anyone other than BLI personnel or persons approved in writing by BLI, (7) accident, force majeure, or activities or forces outside of normal use specifications set forth in the applicable Documentation, or (8) breach of these Ts&Cs or any document referenced herein by Buyer; (iv) that has been exposed to Biosafety Level 3 or Biosafety Level 4 agents; or (v) Buyer fails to either (x) have in place a secure Internet connection that permits BLI to remotely monitor the use and operation of the Lightning Platform and perform platform diagnostic tasks, or (y) permit BLI to download the information of romanette (x) when BLI performs repairs or regular maintenance on the Lightning Platform on-site at Buyer’s facility.

4.3. As Is. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.1, EACH LIGHTNING PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS”. BLI SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE LIGHTNING PLATFORM. BLI SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE. BLI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT A LIGHTNING PLATFORM, OR ANY USE THEREOF WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED OR VIRUS FREE, OR WILL MEET BUYER’S QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS. ALL WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE APPLICABLE LIGHTNING PLATFORM DOCUMENTATION ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED INTO THESE TS&CS BY REFERENCE.

4.4. Out-of-Warranty Repairs. If BLI determines that an issue or problem with the Lightning Platform is not covered under the warranty (“Out-of-Warranty”), BLI will notify Buyer of its determination, and provide Buyer with an estimate of the cost for any Out-of-Warranty repairs. BLI will not proceed with the repair until Buyer provides its written authorization to do so. All costs associated with BLI’s examination, authorized repair, and/or return shipment for Out-of-Warranty repairs shall be billed to Buyer at BLI’s then-current commercial rates, and Buyer shall bear the risk of loss associated with any Lightning Platform if shipment to/from BLI or BLI’s manufacturer, is required. In the event Buyer disagrees with BLI’s Out-of-Warranty determination, BLI and Buyer agree to resolve the disagreement in accordance with Section 8.10 below.

5. INFRINGEMENT CLAIM DEFENSE.

SECTIONS 5.1 AND 5.2, BELOW, SET FORTH BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND BLI’S ENTIRE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY A LIGHTNING PLATFORM OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, OR BY ITS OPERATION.

5.1. BLI Defense of an Infringement Claim. Subject to Section 5.2, BLI shall defend Buyer from and against any third party claim that a Lightning Platform infringes a valid United States patent that has been issued prior to the Delivery Date, provided that (i) Buyer shall have promptly provided BLI written notice thereof and reasonable cooperation, information, and assistance in connection therewith, and (ii) BLI shall have sole authority and control with respect to the defense, settlement, or compromise thereof. BLI’s defense obligation under this Section 5.1 is conditional on Buyer’s strict compliance with romanettes (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence. If BLI reasonably believes that Buyer’s use of any Lightning Platform or component thereof is likely to be enjoined, or if any Lightning Platform or component thereof is held to infringe such patent and all use of such Lightning Platform or component thereof by Buyer is thereby enjoined, BLI may, at its expense and option, (1) procure for Buyer the right to continue using such Lightning Platform or component thereof, (2) replace or modify such Lightning Platform or component thereof so that it becomes non-infringing, or, if (1) and (2) are not available to BLI, in its reasonable determination, then (3) request Buyer’s return of the allegedly infringing Lightning Platforms, without any right of refund to Buyer.

5.2. BLI Defense Exclusions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, BLI shall have no liability or obligation to Buyer with respect to any intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, or claim thereof to the extent based upon (a) an application, method or process in which the Lightning Platform may be used where the Lightning Platform when used alone would not result in such infringement, including experiments designed in whole or in part by or for Buyer, (b) use of a Lightning Platform or component thereof by Buyer in combination with software, hardware, devices, products or services not provided or specified in writing by BLI, (c) use of a Lightning Platform or component thereof in an application, method or process for which such Lightning Platform or component thereof was not designed or configured by BLI for Buyer (e.g., use outside of the uses permitted hereunder), (d) alterations or modifications of Lightning Platform or component thereof not authorized in writing by BLI, (e) any cells, antibodies, reagents or other tangible biological materials provided by Buyer or other Buyer confidential information, or (f) any workflows, scripts or processes modified or created by Buyer. Buyer shall defend and hold BLI harmless from and against any third party claim falling within the exclusions of this Section 5.2.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

EXCEPT FOR BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY BUYER, OR BUYER’S VIOLATION OF THE FIELD OF USE, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, REVENUE, USE OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE LIGHTNING PLATFORM OR USE THEREOF OR THESE TS&CS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY BUYER, OR BUYER’S VIOLATION OF THE FIELD OF USE, EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TS&CS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE SPECIFIC LIGHTNING PLATFORM AT ISSUE. FOR CLARITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT BUYER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 2. The limitations of liability and exclusions of damages in this Section 6 form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and shall survive and apply even if any remedy specified in these Ts&Cs is found to have failed its essential purpose.

7. TERMINATION

7.1. Termination by BLI. BLI may terminate these Ts&Cs immediately upon written notice if either (i) Buyer is more than sixty (60) days late on the payment of any fee, or (ii) Buyer makes any assignment of rights for the benefit of its creditors, files for bankruptcy protection, or announces an intention to file for bankruptcy protection.

7.2. Termination For Breach Other than Under Section 7.1. Either party may terminate these Ts&Cs for cause upon written notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches these Ts&Cs (other than a breach by Buyer covered by Section 7.1) and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days from receipt of notice of the material breach.

7.3. Effect. Upon termination of these Ts&Cs, (i) the license rights granted by BLI to Buyer pursuant to these Ts&Cs will cease immediately, (ii) Buyer will immediately cease all use of the Lightning Platform, properly decontaminate, package and return the Lightning Platform to BLI, along with any BLI confidential information in its possession or control, and (iii) Buyer shall pay all unpaid amounts due and payable to BLI pursuant to Section 2.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

8.1. Marketing. Neither party may disclose the specific terms of these Ts&Cs or issue a public statement or press release regarding these Ts&Cs without the other party’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) BLI may identify Buyer as its Buyer and display Buyer’s name, mark and logo on the website of BLI, and other marketing materials and make disclosures in accordance with Sections 8.3 and 8.4, below, and (b) BLI may disclose these Ts&Cs to prospective acquirers and investors in connection with their due diligence review of BLI provided that such parties are bound by written agreements that contain use and nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective of the disclosing party’s confidential information as those set forth in the NDA.

8.2. Independent Contractors. BLI and Buyer are independent contractors with respect to these Ts&Cs. Nothing in these Ts&Cs is intended to, or shall be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture, employment or similar relationship between the parties. Neither party has, and will not represent itself as having, any authority, power or right to bind the other party, or to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf or in the name of the other party.

8.3. Legal Compliance; Export Controls. Each party hereto agrees that it shall comply with all applicable U.S. and foreign laws, regulations and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export or reexport licenses or other government approvals, and any healthcare law or regulation, if applicable), with respect to its activities under these Ts&Cs, including U.S. and any other applicable foreign export and trade restrictions or similar rules. Buyer shall be responsible for any breach of this section by its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, as well as its successors and permitted assigns.

8.4. Import and Other Regulatory Requirements. Buyer represents and warrants that it shall, at its expense: (i) comply with all import clearance requirements and customs formalities associated with any physical importation of the commodities, software and related technical data into the country of importation, including but not limited to the payment of any duties, fees or taxes imposed, and (ii) obtain any and all import and other licenses and governmental and regulatory approvals that may be necessary for importation into the destination country.

8.5. Amendment; Waiver. These Ts&Cs may not be modified, and no provision hereof may be waived, other than by a written instrument signed by duly authorized officers of each of the parties.

8.6. Severability; English Language. If any provision of these Ts&Cs is held to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the extent possible consistent with the stated intention of the parties, or, if incapable of such enforcement, will be deemed to be severed and deleted from these Ts&Cs, while the remainder of these Ts&Cs will continue in full force and effect. Regardless of whether these Ts&Cs are translated into one or more other languages for any purpose, the American English form of these Ts&Cs shall control and determine the interpretation of these Ts&Cs.

8.7. Assignment. BLI may assign or transfer these Ts&Cs, in whole or in part, to any affiliate or in connection with any acquisition, consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the business to which these Ts&Cs relates or other business combination, or by operation of law without Buyer’s consent and without providing notice. Buyer may not assign or transfer these Ts&Cs by business combination, operation of law or otherwise without BLI’s prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing, these Ts&Cs will bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

8.8. Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in these Ts&Cs, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto, BLI’s licensors or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or obligations, to enforce these Ts&Cs.

8.9. Governing Law. These Ts&Cs are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California, United States and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions.

8.10. Dispute Resolution; Injunctive Relief. In the event of a dispute arising under these Ts&Cs (a “Dispute”), a party shall provide the other party with written notice of the Dispute, and the parties agree to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute in good faith by promptly engaging in discussions through a designated executive officer of each party. A Dispute that cannot be resolved within 30 days following the discussions contemplated by the preceding sentence will, upon written demand of either party, be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted exclusively in San Francisco, California by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C., § 1 et seq, and the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS then in effect before a single arbitrator who shall at all times follow applicable law. Each party shall bear its own expenses, and the two parties will share equally the fees of the arbitrator. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY. Notwithstanding anything in these Ts&Cs to the contrary, each party shall have the right, at its election, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce or obtain compliance with any provision of these Ts&Cs without first submitting such matter to arbitration. All rights and remedies hereunder shall be cumulative, may be exercised singularly or concurrently and, unless otherwise stated herein, shall not be deemed exclusive.

8.11. Force Majeure. A party shall be excused from performance under these Ts&Cs for any period to the extent that such party is prevented from performing any obligation, in whole or in part, as a result of causes beyond its reasonable control and without its negligent or willful misconduct, including without limitation, acts of God, epidemics, natural disasters, war or other hostilities, labor disputes, civil disturbances, governmental acts, orders or regulations, third party nonperformance, or failures or fluctuations in electrical power, heat, light, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment. Nothing in this Section 8.11 is intended to excuse payment by Buyer of a valid invoice submitted by BLI.

8.12. Notices. Any notice under these Ts&Cs shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or four (4) business days after deposit with an internationally recognized express courier, freight prepaid, with written verification of receipt.

8.13. Government or Government-Funded Acquisitions. If Buyer is the United States government, or anyone that is acquiring any Lightning Platform pursuant to a United States government contract or with United States government funds, Buyer agrees that each Lightning Platform meets the definition of a “commercial-off-the-shelf” item or a “commercial item” as defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101. All government end users acquire only those rights in Lightning Platforms that are expressly granted in these Ts&Cs. In the case of any other government, BLI’s rights are protected to the maximum extent possible as set forth in these Ts&Cs, but in any event to at least the same extent they would be protected under the immediately preceding sentences.

1. Contract Terms for Sale of BLI Consumables

1.1. Quotes; POs; Sales Order Confirmations. From time to time, BLI will provide a sales quotation to Buyer for specific BLI Consumables, which may include pricing, quantities, specific lead times, and service/support information (“Quote”). A Quote does not constitute a binding contract. Buyer may issue to BLI a purchase order (“PO”) for BLI Consumables. A PO shall include BLI-designated product numbers, quantities, and requested delivery date(s), which all shall be consistent with the 3 Mos Forecast (as defined in Section 1.4), if applicable. A PO does not constitute a binding contract. BLI will notify Buyer in writing (email acceptable) of either (i) BLI’s acceptance of the product purchase, quantity and delivery date, or (ii) any changes necessary for acceptance, or (iii) rejection of a PO, within three (3) business days of BLI’s receipt of the PO. BLI’s notification of acceptance is deemed a “Sales Order Confirmation”. BLI, in its sole discretion, may accept or reject any PO. No PO shall be deemed accepted by BLI until BLI sends a Sales Order Confirmation. For clarity, the Quote, these Ts&Cs, together with any BLI proposed terms confirmed in a Sales Order Confirmation constitute a binding contract.

1.2. Delivery; Risk of Loss; Title. BLI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all BLI Consumables consistent with its then-standard lead-time(s), or the delivery date set forth in the Sales Order Confirmation, whichever is later. BLI may deliver the BLI Consumables in one or more lots and on or before the identified lead-time or delivery date. BLI’s failure to deliver BLI Consumables by the specified delivery date(s) shall not be sufficient cause for cancellation, nor will BLI be liable for any loss or damage due to delay in delivery. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, BLI will ship BLI Consumables in standard commercial packaging. When special packaging is requested, or in BLI’s opinion required, the cost of such packaging shall be borne by Buyer. BLI will ship BLI Consumables within the United States per FOB Origin and for all international shipments per CIP (ICC Incoterms) (collectively, “Delivery Point”). Buyer shall pay all transportation, shipping, insurance and other charges incurred, regardless of whether such fees are listed on the quote or purchase order. For the purposes of these Ts&Cs, the date of delivery by BLI to the Delivery Point may be referred to as the “Delivery Date.” Title will transfer upon delivery to the Delivery Point.

1.3. Cancellation. If Buyer cancels prior to shipment all or any portion of a PO that was accepted by BLI in a Sales Order Confirmation and prior to shipment, the cancellation charges (a percentage of the aggregate sales price of the BLI Consumables set forth in the Sales Order Confirmation) shall be as set forth in Table 1.3.

Table 1.3.

Any requests by Buyer for delay in scheduled deliveries are subject to BLI approval, in its sole discretion, and subject to imposition of a cancellation fee consistent with Table 1.3. A “week” is defined as seven (7) calendar days. Buyer may not cancel an order for any BLI Consumables after shipment.

1.4. Forecasts. If BLI and Buyer have agreed that Buyer will provide forecasts for Buyer’s purchases, then on or before the 15th day of each month, Buyer shall provide BLI with a written forecast identifying Buyer’s anticipated volume of purchases of BLI Consumables, including an identification and volume for each different type of BLI Consumable, for the following three (3) consecutive calendar months (the “3 Mos Forecast”). The 1st and 2nd months of the 3 Mos Forecast shall be binding; the 3rd month of the 3 Mos Forecast is not binding.

1.5. No Returns. In no event may Buyer return BLI Consumables to BLI for credit or refund.

1.6. Specifications; Acceptance. BLI Consumables will meet the applicable BLI product specifications (as may be modified from time to time by BLI, the “BLI Specifications”); provided, however, BLI reserves the right to make modifications to the BLI Specifications of the BLI Consumables that do not materially affect the overall performance, use, installation or price thereof. BLI shall inspect each BLI Consumable prior to shipment to confirm that such product meets the applicable BLI Specifications. Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted each BLI Consumable upon delivery by BLI to the Delivery Point.

2. PRICE, INVOICING, PAYMENT AND TAXES.

2.1. Price, Invoicing and Payment The price for BLI Consumables shall be as set forth in the Quote. BLI shall issue an invoice to Buyer consistent with the Quote upon shipment of BLI Consumables(s) or such other items or services as identified in a Sales Order Confirmation. Buyer will pay all amounts in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise mutually agreed and stated on the Sales Order Confirmation. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by BLI and Buyer, Buyer shall pay all invoices Net 30 calendar days from the date of BLI’s invoice. Invoices not disputed in good faith by Buyer within seven (7) calendar days of mailing shall be deemed accurate. All invoices that are not paid within 30 days shall be assessed a 1.5% late payment charge (or, if less, the highest legal rate under applicable law) for each month the invoice is not paid. Buyer will reimburse BLI for all reasonable costs (including bank charges, collection agency fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by BLI in connection with collecting any overdue amounts.

2.2. Taxes. The pricing specified in a Quote (and the Sales Order Confirmation if applicable) does not include any taxes, customs, duties, fees or other amounts assessed or imposed by any government authority. Buyer is responsible for paying all such taxes, including sales taxes, customs, duties, fees and other amounts, other than taxes imposed on BLI’s income. Buyer will pay or reimburse BLI for all such amounts upon demand or provide evidence of payment or exemption.

2.3. No Set-Off. Buyer shall not have any right to set off against or to recoup from any payment or other obligation owed to BLI, in whole or in part, any amounts due to Buyer or its affiliates from BLI.

3. PERMITTED USES; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

3.1. Permitted Uses.

• a. Field of Use Restriction
• Buyer’s use of the BLI Consumables is subject to the “field-of-use” restriction (the “Field of Use”) as set forth in the Quote, or as provided in connection with Buyer’s purchase of a BLI optofluidic platform, and as further limited by this Section 3.1.a. Buyer agrees to use BLI Consumables for Buyer’s own internal business purposes only, and, unless expressly permitted on the Quote, shall not use BLI Consumables for any commercial use or to provide commercial services to any third party (e.g., the BLI Consumables shall not be used by Buyer to identify or provide isolated cells and/or provide data or information to any third party as a commercial service or in exchange for money or anything of value). Without limiting the foregoing, no use of the BLI Consumables is permitted in and/or with plant cells, yeast, bacteria, filamentous fungi, cell-free DNA and/or expression systems, cellular therapies (whether for manufacturing, quality or otherwise), diagnostics, and in vitro fertilization.
• b. Other Restrictions on Use.
• Buyer will not directly or indirectly modify, enhance, adapt, create derivative works based upon, disassemble, decompile, circumvent any technological measure that controls access to, or reverse engineer the BLI Consumables. BLI Consumables that are BLI OptoSelect Chips are designed, and shall only be used, for a single use. BLI Consumables are designed, developed and/or configured to be used and shall be used only with a BLI Platform. Buyer agrees to comply with, and is solely responsible for complying with, all applicable laws, rules and regulations in its use of BLI Consumables. BLI Consumables are only for use with biosafety level 1 (BSL-1) and biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) materials.
• c. Markings.
  Buyer agrees to not remove, modify or cover any trademarks, trade names, service marks, service names, logos or brands, or copyright or other proprietary notices in or on the BLI Consumables, or add any other markings or notices in or on the BLI Consumables. Buyer agrees to not remove, modify or cover any warning labels on the BLI Consumables or packaging therefor.
• d. Audit Right.
• At any time during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, BLI shall have to right to audit Buyer’s books and records as such pertain to this Agreement for compliance with this Section 3.1.

3.2. Regulatory.BLI Consumables are sold “For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.” Buyer acknowledges that (i) BLI Consumables have not been approved, cleared, or licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration or any other regulatory entity whether foreign or domestic for any specific intended use, whether research, commercial, diagnostic, or otherwise, and (ii) Buyer must ensure it has any regulatory approvals that are necessary for Buyer’s intended uses of BLI Consumables. Buyer further agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations when using, maintaining, and disposing of BLI Consumables.

3.3. BLI Software and Firmware.The BLI Consumables are for use with a BLI Platform that contains integrated software, firmware or other patented, copyrighted or protected intellectual property rights owned by BLI and its licensors. Any and all software and firmware resident on a BLI Platform or BLI OptoSelect Chips is licensed and not sold. The license to BLI Software is non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable and is set forth in more detail in the “Terms and Conditions of Field of Use Sale of Beacon Platforms” or the “Terms and Conditions of Field of Use Sale of Lightning Platforms” (individually and collectively, “BLI Platform Ts&Cs”). In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions related to BLI software found in the BLI Platform Ts&Cs and these Ts&Cs, the BLI Platform Ts&Cs shall govern with respect to all matters relating to the BLI software.

3.4. Rights Reservation.The sale of BLI Consumables does not convey to Buyer, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any rights in or to any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right of BLI, or any rights in or to BLI technology or BLI confidential information, except the limited right to use such BLI Consumables in accordance with these Ts&Cs. All rights not expressly granted to Buyer in these Ts&Cs are retained by BLI and its licensors.

3.5. Documentation. The documentation and other data, information and materials (“Documentation”) regarding BLI Consumables provided by BLI to Buyer contain proprietary and confidential information of BLI. Buyer agrees not to disclose Documentation to any person other than Buyer’s employees and contractors (that are subject to standard confidentiality obligations) that need to access information in the Documentation to use the BLI Consumables. BLI agrees that the foregoing obligation of confidentiality will not apply with respect to any information that Buyer can document (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without any action by, or involvement of, Buyer, (ii) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from BLI, (iii) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party, or (iv) was independently developed without use of, or reference to, any Documentation or other BLI confidential information. Nothing in these Ts&Cs will prevent Buyer from disclosing Documentation pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that Buyer gives BLI reasonable prior written notice of such disclosure.

4. WARRANTIES.

4.1. Limited Warranty. Subject to Section 4.2 and Buyer at all times using the BLI Consumables in compliance with these Ts&Cs and the applicable Documentation, BLI warrants that (i) the BLI Consumables will perform substantially in accordance with the BLI Specifications for such BLI Consumables in effect on the shipment date for a period of thirteen (13) months after the shipment date; and (ii) the BLI Consumables that are not BLI OptoSelect Chips will substantially comply with any BLI Specifications for such BLI Consumables in effect on the Delivery Date and for a period of time equal to the lesser of (a) the identified shelf-life and (b) thirteen (13) months after the shipment date; provided, however, that, in both (i) and (ii), no warranty, express or implied, is provided or extended to a Buyer-implemented workflow or any workflow, script or other changes created or modified by Buyer. Non-substantial variations of performance from the BLI Specifications do not establish a warranty right. All warnings and disclaimers that are contained in the Documentation are hereby incorporated by reference. BLI’s warranties extend only to Buyer and cannot be transferred. BLI’S OBLIGATION TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A BLI CONSUMABLE IS, IN ALL EVENTS, BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

4.2. Warranty Claim.In the event of a warranty claim, Buyer’s sole remedy and BLI’s entire obligation and liability shall be, at BLI’s option, to repair, replace or reconfigure the defective BLI Consumables, or to correct, update or upgrade the defective BLI Consumables, as applicable. BLI may require new software releases provided by BLI for the BLI Platform to be installed from time to time as a condition to the warranty on BLI Consumables. The warranty period for any BLI Consumables furnished to correct a warranty failure will be the unexpired term of the warranty period applicable to the uncorrected product. All warranty claims must be made to BLI in writing reasonably describing the failure and must be made within the applicable warranty period by requesting a return material authorization number from BLI and, then, properly decontaminating, packing in industry acceptable packaging for like devices and returning BLI Consumables to BLI. BLI will make a determination, in its sole discretion, as to whether the returned BLI Consumable fails to perform substantially in accordance with the applicable BLI Specifications and, if so, whether such failure is covered by the warranty set forth in this Section 4.1.

4.3. Voiding of Warranty.Notwithstanding Section 4.1, no warranty, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, shall extend to any BLI Consumable:

• (a) that has been used in violation of any applicable use restriction, including but not limited any used outside of the Field(s) Of Use;
• (b) if Buyer has violated the BLI microchip “single-use” restriction on the BLI Platform;
• (c) if any failure has arisen or resulted from (1) use not in compliance with the applicable Documentation, (2) use with Buyer’s own media or reagents that are not pre-approved for use by BLI, (3) an alteration or modification of the BLI Consumable not authorized in writing in advance by BLI, (4) accident, force majeure, or activities or forces outside of normal use specifications set forth in the applicable Documentation; or (5) breach by Buyer of any other contractual agreement between BLI and Buyer; or
• (e) Buyer exposed to Biosafety Level 3 or Biosafety Level 4 agents.

4.4. As Is.EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.1, EACH BLI CONSUMABLE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”. BLI SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE. BLI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT A BLI CONSUMABLE, OR ANY USE THEREOF WILL MEET BUYER’S QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS. ALL WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE APPLICABLE BLI CONSUMABLE DOCUMENTATION ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED INTO THESE TS&CS BY REFERENCE.

4.5. Out-of-Warranty Repairs.If BLI determines that an issue or problem with a BLI Consumable is not covered under the warranty (“Out-of-Warranty”), BLI will notify Buyer of its determination, and provide Buyer with an estimate of the cost for any Out-of-Warranty repairs. BLI will not proceed with the repair until Buyer provides its written authorization to do so. All costs associated with BLI’s examination, authorized repair, and/or return shipment for Out-of-Warranty repairs shall be billed to Buyer at BLI’s then-current commercial rates, and Buyer shall bear the risk of loss associated with any BLI Consumable if shipment to/from BLI or BLI’s manufacturer, is required. In the event Buyer disagrees with BLI’s Out-of-Warranty determination, BLI and Buyer agree to resolve the disagreement in accordance with Section 8.10 below.

4.6. DATA AND RESULTS.BLI CANNOT CONTROL INDIVIDUAL CELLS OR BIOLOGY AND THE SAME OR SIMILAR CELLS AND CELL LINES CAN BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY AND, ACCORDINGLY, BLI DOES NOT GIVE OR EXTEND ANY WARRANTY ON OR RELATION TO THE DATA AND RESULTS OF WORKFLOWS AND APPLICATIONS RUN ON OR USING A BLI CONSUMABLE. THE DATA AND RESULTS OF WORKFLOWS AND APPLICATIONS RUN ON OR USING A BLI CONSUMABLE ARE GENERATED “AS IS,” WITH NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND. WITHOUT LIMITING THE SCOPE OF THE FOREGOING, BLI MAKES AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY WORKFLOWS OR APPLICATIONS CONDUCTED ON OR USING A BLI CONSUMABLE. TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY COVERED UNDER SECTION 4.4, BLI SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE, IN RELATION TO THE USE OF BLI CONSUMABLES AND IN RELATION TO DATA AND/OR RESULTS GENERATED ON AND/OR FROM THE BLI CONSUMABLES.

5. INFRINGEMENT CLAIM DEFENSE.

SECTIONS 5.1 AND 5.2, BELOW, SET FORTH BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND BLI’S ENTIRE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY A BLI CONSUMABLE OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, OR BY ITS OPERATION.

5.1. BLI Defense of an Infringement Claim.Subject to Section 5.2, BLI shall defend Buyer from and against any third party claim that a BLI Consumable infringes a United States patent that has been issued prior to the Delivery Date, provided that (i) Buyer shall have promptly provided BLI written notice thereof and reasonable cooperation, information, and assistance in connection therewith, and (ii) BLI shall have sole authority and control with respect to the defense, settlement, or compromise thereof. BLI’s defense obligation under this Section 5.1 is conditional on Buyer’s strict compliance with romanettes (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence. If BLI reasonably believes that Buyer’s use of any BLI Consumable or component thereof is likely to be enjoined, or if any BLI Consumable or component thereof is held to infringe such patent and all use of such BLI Consumable or component thereof by Buyer is thereby enjoined, BLI may, at its expense and option, (1) procure for Buyer the right to continue using such BLI Consumable or component thereof, (2) replace or modify such BLI Consumable or component thereof so that it becomes non-infringing, or, if (1) and (2) are not available to BLI, as reasonably determined by BLI, then (3) request Buyer’s return of the allegedly infringing un-used BLI Consumables and refund to Buyer the amounts which Buyer has paid to BLI for such BLI Consumable.

5.2. BLI Defense Exclusions.Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, BLI shall have no liability or obligation to Buyer with respect to any intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, or claim thereof to the extent based upon (i) an application, method or process in which the BLI Consumable may be used where the BLI Consumable when used alone would not result in such infringement, including experiments designed in whole or in part by or for Buyer, (ii) use of a BLI Consumable or component thereof by Buyer in combination with software, hardware, devices, Consumables or services not provided or specified in writing by BLI, (iii) use of a BLI Consumable or component thereof in an application, method or process for which such BLI Consumable or component thereof was not designed or configured by BLI for Buyer (e.g., use outside of the uses permitted hereunder), (iv) alterations or modifications of BLI Consumable or component thereof not authorized in writing by BLI, (v) any cells, antibodies, reagents or other tangible biological materials provided by Buyer or other Buyer confidential information, or (vi) any workflows, scripts or processes modified or created by Buyer. Buyer shall defend BLI from and against any third party claim falling within the exclusions of this Section 5.2.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

IN NO EVENT SHALL BLI BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, REVENUE, USE OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH BLI CONSUMABLES OR USE THEREOF OR THESE TS&CS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BLI’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TS&CS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE SPECIFIC BLI CONSUMABLE AT ISSUE. FOR CLARITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT BUYER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 2. The limitations of liability and exclusions of damages in this Section 6 form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and shall survive and apply even if any remedy specified in these Ts&Cs is found to have failed its essential purpose.

7. TERMINATION

7.1. Termination.If either party materially breaches these Ts&Cs and the other party seeks to terminate these Ts&Cs for such breach, such other party shall notify the breaching party in writing, setting out the breach, and the breaching party will have 30 days following receipt of such notice to remedy the breach. If the breaching party fails to remedy the breach during that period, the other party may terminate these Ts&Cs by written notice to the breaching party.

7.2. Effect.Upon termination of these Ts&Cs, (i) any permission to use within the Field of Use is expressly and immediately terminated, (ii) and any rights granted by BLI to Buyer pursuant to these Ts&Cs will cease immediately, and (iii) Buyer shall pay all unpaid amounts due and payable to BLI pursuant to Section 2.

7.3. Survival.Sections 3.1-3.6, 4, 5, 6, 7.3, and 8 will survive any termination of these Ts&Cs.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

8.1. Marketing.Neither party may disclose the specific terms of these Ts&Cs or issue a public statement or press release regarding these Ts&Cs without the other party’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) BLI may identify Buyer as a purchaser of BLI Consumables and display Buyer’s name, mark and logo on BLI’s website, and in other marketing materials and make disclosures in accordance with Section 8.6, below, and (ii) BLI may disclose these Ts&Cs to prospective acquirers and investors in connection with their due diligence review of BLI; provided that such parties are bound by written agreements that contain use and nondisclosure restrictions reasonably protective of Buyer’s confidential information.

8.2. Independent Contractors.BLI and Buyer are independent contractors with respect to these Ts&Cs. Nothing in these Ts&Cs is intended to, or shall be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture, employment or similar relationship between the parties. Neither party has, and will not represent itself as having, any authority, power or right to bind the other party, or to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf or in the name of the other party.

8.3. Legal Compliance; Export Controls.Each party hereto agrees that it shall comply with all applicable U.S. and foreign laws, regulations and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export or reexport licenses or other government approvals and any healthcare law or regulation, if applicable), with respect to its activities under these Ts&Cs, including U.S. and any other applicable foreign export and trade restrictions or similar rules. Buyer shall be responsible for any breach of this section by its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, as well as its successors and permitted assigns.

8.4. Import and Other Regulatory Requirements.Buyer represents and warrants that it shall, at its expense (i) comply with all import clearance requirements and customs formalities associated with any physical importation of the commodities, software and related technical data into the country of importation, including but not limited to the payment of any duties, fees or taxes imposed, and (ii) obtain any and all import and other licenses and governmental and regulatory approvals that may be necessary for importation into the destination country.

8.5. Amendment; Waiver.These Ts&Cs may not be modified and no provision hereof may be waived other than by a written instrument signed by duly authorized officers of each of the parties.

8.6. Severability; English Language.If any provision of these Ts&Cs is held to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the extent possible consistent with the stated intention of the parties, or, if incapable of such enforcement, will be deemed to be severed and deleted from these Ts&Cs, while the remainder of these Ts&Cs will continue in full force and effect. Regardless of whether these Ts&Cs are translated into one or more other languages for any purpose, the American English form of these Ts&Cs shall control and determine the interpretation of these Ts&Cs.

8.7. Assignment.BLI may assign or transfer these Ts&Cs, in whole or in part, to any affiliate or in connection with any acquisition, consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the business to which these Ts&Cs relates or other business combination, or by operation of law without Buyer’s consent and without providing notice. Buyer may not assign or transfer these Ts&Cs by business combination, operation of law or otherwise without BLI’s prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing, these Ts&Cs will bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

8.8. Third Party Beneficiaries.Nothing in these Ts&Cs, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto, BLI’s licensors or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or obligations, to enforce these Ts&Cs.

8.9. Governing Law.These Ts&Cs are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California, United States and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions.

8.10. Dispute Resolution; Injunctive Relief.In the event of a dispute arising under these Ts&Cs (a “Dispute”), a party shall provide the other party with written notice of the Dispute, and the parties agree to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute in good faith by promptly engaging in discussions through a designated executive officer of each party. A Dispute that cannot be resolved within 30 days following the discussions contemplated by the preceding sentence will, upon written demand of either party, be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted exclusively in San Francisco, California by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C., § 1 et seq, and the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS then in effect before a single arbitrator who shall at all times follow applicable law. Each party shall bear its own expenses, and the two parties will share equally the fees of the arbitrator. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY. Notwithstanding anything in these Ts&Cs to the contrary, each party shall have the right, at its election, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce or obtain compliance with any provision of these Ts&Cs without first submitting such matter to arbitration. All rights and remedies hereunder shall be cumulative, may be exercised singularly or concurrently and, unless otherwise stated herein, shall not be deemed exclusive.

8.11. Force Majeure.A party shall be excused from performance under these Ts&Cs for any period to the extent that such party is prevented from performing any obligation, in whole or in part, as a result of causes beyond its reasonable control and without its negligent or willful misconduct, including without limitation, acts of God, epidemics, natural disasters, war or other hostilities, labor disputes, civil disturbances, governmental acts, orders or regulations, third party nonperformance, or failures or fluctuations in electrical power, heat, light, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment. Nothing in this Section 8.11 is intended to excuse payment by Buyer of a valid invoice submitted by BLI.

8.12. Notices.Any notice under these Ts&Cs shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or four (4) business days after deposit with an internationally recognized express courier, freight prepaid, with written verification of receipt.

8.13. Government or Government-Funded Acquisitions.If Buyer is the United States government, or anyone that is acquiring any BLI Consumable pursuant to a United States government contract or with United States government funds, Buyer agrees that each BLI Consumable meets the definition of a “commercial-off-the-shelf” item or a “commercial item” as defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101. All government end users acquire only those rights in BLI Consumables that are expressly granted in these Ts&Cs. In the case of any other government, BLI’s rights are protected to the maximum extent possible as set forth in these Ts&Cs, but in any event to at least the same extent they would be protected under the immediately preceding sentences.
