11. INSPECTION
All goods covered by the purchase order may be inspected and tested by
Purchaser at all reasonable time and places. Seller shall provide, without
additional charge, all reasonable facilities and assistance for such inspection and
tests.
If any goods covered by the purchase order are defective or not in conformity
with the requirements of the purchase order, Purchaser may, by written notice to
Seller, (i) rescind the purchase order as to such goods (ii) accept such goods at
an equitable reduction in price, or (iii) reject such goods and require the delivery
of replacements.
If Seller fails to deliver required replacements promptly, Purchaser may (i)
replace or correct such goods and charge Seller the costs occasioned Purchaser
thereby, or (ii) cancel the purchase order without any Purchaser's liability with a
full reimbursement of the prices paid by Purchaser. No inspection, test, approval
or acceptance of goods ordered shall relieve Seller from responsibility for defects
or other failures to meet the requirements of the purchase order. Rights granted
to Purchaser in this Article 11 are in addition to any other rights or remedies
provided elsewhere in the purchase order or by law.
Final inspection and acceptance shall be made at destination unless otherwise
specified in the purchase order. Such final inspection and acceptance shall be
conclusive except as to latent defects, fraud, such gross mistakes as amount to
fraud, and Seller's warranty obligations.
12. DELAYS IN DELIVERY
Seller shall not be liable for damages for delays in delivery due to fire, flood,
storm, earthquake, war, hostilities, sanction, embargo, blockade, lockout, strike,
labor dispute, revolution, riot, looting and highjacking. If Seller, however, for
any reason except the foregoing causes, fails to substantially comply with the
delivery schedule specified in the purchase order, Purchaser, in addition to
remedies provided by law, at its discretion, may either approve a revised
delivery schedule or may cancel the purchase order without any Purchaser's
liability.
13. CHANGES
Purchaser shall have the right to make changes in the purchase order, but no
additional charge will be allowed unless authorized in writing by Purchaser. If
such changes affect delivery or the amount to be paid by Purchaser, Seller shall
notify Purchaser immediately and negotiate an adjustment thereto.
14. ASSIGNMENT
Assignment of the purchase order or any interest therein or any payment due or
to become due thereunder, without the written approval of the Purchaser, shall
be null and void and of no force against Purchaser. However, such approval by
Purchaser shall not relieve Seller from any liability or obligation assumed under
the purchase order.
