Upon acceptance of this Order by Seller, shipment of Goods from Seller or commencement of Services by Seller, Seller shall be bound by the provisions of these Terms and Conditions and all provisions set forth on the face of this PO. ALL POs ARE GOVERNED EXCLUSIVELY BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Any additional or inconsistent terms or conditions contained in any acknowledgment, invoice or other communication of Seller are hereby rejected.

##2. DELIVERY; PACKING AND SHIPMENT
Delivery of Goods shall be as stated in the PO unless otherwise expressly agreed upon and shall be made pursuant to the schedule, via the carrier and to the facility specified on the face of this Order, without charge for boxing, crating, carting or storage unless otherwise specified. If no delivery schedule is specified herein, Seller shall affect delivery by the most expeditious form of land transportation. If no method of shipment is specified in this Order, Seller shall use the least expensive carrier. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO DELIVERY. Seller will immediately notify MakerBot if it suspects or becomes aware of an inability to timely deliver ordered Goods or Services. Upon such notice, MakerBot may, at its option, (i) decline to accept the Goods or Services and terminate the Order; (ii) demand its allocable fair share of Seller’s available Goods and terminate the balance of the Order; or (iii) require delivery by the fastest method to meet the delivery dates at the sole expense of Seller.

Such PO line item number must appear on all containers, packing sheets, delivery tickets and bills of lading.
##3. RISK OF LOSS; DESTRUCTION OF GOODS

##4. INSPECTION
MakerBot may at reasonable times inspect the Goods and Services to be purchased under this Order at Seller’s (or Seller’s subcontractor’s) facilities.

Seller expressly warrants that: (a) Seller will convey clear title to all Goods to be purchased hereunder to MakerBot; free of any liens, claims or other encumbrances; (b) Goods or Services furnished will conform to all applicable specifications, drawings, samples, or other descriptions furnished, specified or adopted by MakerBot and to all other requirements of the PO; (c) Goods will be merchantable, produced using reliable material and workmanship and will be free from defect for at least one year from delivery to MakerBot, or such longer limited warranty period as MakerBot may specify in the PO; (d) all Goods have been selected, designed manufactured or assembled by Seller based upon MakerBot’s intended use and will be fit and sufficient for such purposes. Such warranties, together with Seller’s service performance warranties above and other guarantees, if any, will survive inspection, test, acceptance of, and payment for the Goods or Services and will run to MakerBot, its successors, assigns, and end users at any tier. Seller further warrants that all Goods and Services provided to MakerBot will be free from any third-party claims or liability for alleged misuse, misappropriation or infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright or other right.

Seller further agrees that any improvement, modification, refinement, or product developed by Seller or jointly by Seller and MakerBot as a result of knowledge of MakerBot confidential and proprietary information shall be the property of MakerBot, and shall be treated as MakerBot confidential and proprietary information. Seller will provide such assignments or other conveyances to the extent such assets require separate documentation from these Terms and Conditions. Accordingly, the Seller agrees that MakerBot will, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce these Terms and Conditions. Upon cancellation or termination of any PO or the parties working relationship, or otherwise upon request of MakerBot, Seller shall turn over to MakerBot any and all MakerBot confidential information, including all copies, excerpts or other reproductions thereof. The confidentiality provisions of this Paragraph will apply to and be binding upon Seller’s officers, directors, employees, advisers, consultants and other representatives, and the protection of MakerBot’ confidential information and materials will expressly survive any expiration or termination of any relationships between the parties indefinitely and for as long as such information remains confidential or proprietary, unless and only to the extent otherwise consented to in a writing signed by MakerBot.

For the avoidance of doubt, the words “Government” and “Contracting Officer” do not change: when a right, act, authorization, or obligation can be granted or performed only by the Government or the prime contract Contracting Officer or duly authorized representative, for example in FAR 52.227-1 or FAR 52.227-2, or when title to property is to be transferred directly to the Government. If any of the following FAR provisions and clauses do not apply to this Purchase Order, such provisions and clauses are considered to be self-deleting. For the avoidance of doubt, those FAR/DFARS provisions which do not apply because the work are not performed in the US are considered self-deleting. Seller shall incorporate into each lower tier contract issued in support of this Purchase Order all applicable FAR/DFARS provisions and clauses in accordance with the flow down requirements specified in such clauses.
-
From time to time, the FAR/DFARS provisions and clauses may be updated by the US government through change in regulations, change orders to the prime contract, and new subcontracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, these supplemental terms may be updated to Seller by written notice from MakerBot.
-
Seller shall report suspected violations of this Appendix A immediately to [email protected].
