As used in this Ts&Cs Agreement, the term “Customer” means the customer that orders, purchases, receives, and
accepts one or more offerings (whether goods, items, rights, services, and/or other deliverables) of a member of the URUS GROUP, and the term “Supplier” means the member of the URUS GROUP that accepts such an order from
Customer and/or that provides one or more of its offerings to Customer. In consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Customer and Supplier, the Parties (as this and all capitalized terms are defined in this Ts&Cs Agreement) agree as set forth above and below.
Except to the extent otherwise set forth in Supplier’s other written and/or electronic terms and conditions for sales that can be obtained from Supplier’s representative (each of the foregoing, a “Specific Term” and all of them, together with this Ts&Cs Agreement, this “Agreement“), including on Supplier’s website, and except to the extent otherwise agreed to in a Duly Signed Writing by Customer and Supplier (each, a “Signed Agreement“), which Signed Agreement takes precedence over any conflicting Specific Term:
1. Applicability; Incorporation.
1.1 This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to all orders and other requests by (or on behalf of) Customer for any Supplier offering (each, an “Order“) and to all Supplier offerings, whether goods, items, rights, services, and/or other deliverables, (each, an “Offering“) to Customer directly or indirectly. Each of Supplier’s
acceptance of an Order and each provision of an Offering (directly or indirectly) is expressly made conditional on assent to this Agreement, and by providing any Order for any Offering, by receiving (after indicating a desire for) any such Offering, Customer shall be bound by this Agreement, whether or not Customer acknowledges or otherwise signs it, and such Order/receipt constitutes Customer’s assent to this Agreement.
1.2 This Agreement is deemed to be incorporated into (as if fully restated in) each Signed Agreement, Order, and written or electronic communication or document exchanged between Customer and Supplier (together, the “Parties“, and each, a “Party“). If a specific version of this Agreement is not referenced therein or attached thereto, the version that is applicable thereto is (1) the version of this Ts&Cs Agreement posted at https://www.urus.org/TsCsforSales, plus (2) version of the Specific Terms posted on Supplier’s website, in each case, as so posted on the date of such Signed Agreement, Order, or communication/document.
1.3 Each Signed Agreement that is referred to as a master agreement or that is otherwise designed to apply to and/or
govern one or more other Signed Agreements or Orders (each, a “Master Agreement“) is incorporated into each of its
Signed Agreements and Orders pertaining to the subject matter of such Master Agreement (each, a “Statement of Work“).
2. Orders – Generally.
2.1 All orders and other requests by (or on behalf of Customer) for one or more Offerings (together, “Orders“) are subject to Supplier’s acceptance or rejection in whole or in part. Customer shall never allege that an Order or change to or cancelation of an Order is ever accepted (whether in whole or in part) unless any such acceptance is in a written or electronic communication using a form of the word ‘Accept’. Once an Order is submitted, no revocation of, change to, alteration of, or cancellation of that Order by (or on behalf of) Customer is effective, except to the extent accepted by Supplier.
2.2 As it relates to any Order that is accepted by Supplier (an “Accepted Order“): (1) the delivery date that is last communicated to Customer does not become final/accepted until it is less than two business days away, and the Offering’s availability last communicated to Customer does not become final/accepted until such Offering is delivered.
2.3 The only terms and conditions of an Order that have any force or effect shall be: (1) those set forth in any applicable Signed Agreements; (2) any applicable Specific Terms; (3) this Ts&Cs Agreement; and (4) the Description of What is to be Purchased in any Accepted Orders (all together, the “Authorized Terms“). In the case of any conflict between and/or among any of the foregoing, they control/govern in the following order: (a) first, the Description of What is to be Purchased in an Accepted Order (newest to oldest) controls/governs; (b) second, Signed Agreements controls/governs (newest to oldest, except that any Master Agreement controls over any other Signed Agreements to which the Master Agreement applies (newest to oldest)); (c) third, any applicable Specific Terms (newest to oldest) control/govern; and (d) fourth, this Ts&Cs Agreement governs (newest to oldest unless only one version forms a part of the Authorized Terms).
2.4 No additional or different terms and conditions on any Order, confirmation form, acceptance form, and/or other preprinted and/or automatically generated written and/or electronic form, on any website, computer program, computer system, and/or computer portal, and/or in any other written and/or electronic communication/document, in each case, used by either Party in the order and acceptance process shall have any force or effect whatsoever. NO ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERM OR CONDITION DELIVERED BY EITHER PARTY (WHETHER IN THE OFFER/ACCEPTANCE PROCESS OR OTHERWISE) NOR ANY ATTEMPT TO VARY, IN ANY DEGREE, THE AUTHORIZED TERMS SHALL OPERATE AS A COUNTEROFFER TO, OR A REJECTION OF, THE OFFER/ORDER, THE ACCEPTANCE, THE SPECIFIC TERMS, THIS TS&CS AGREEMENT, OR ANY SIGNED AGREEMENT (EXCEPT, IN EACH CASE, TO THE EXTENT AGREED TO IN A SIGNED WRITING (AS DEFINED ABOVE)). ANDY ACCEPTED OFFER/ORDER SHALL BE DEEMED ACCEPTED WITHOUT SUCH ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERM OR CONDITION OR VARIANCE, AND NOTICE OF OBJECTION TO SUCH ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERM OR CONDITION OR VARIANCE, AND REJECTION OF EACH, IS HEREBY EXPRESSLY GIVEN. Customer shall never allege that any prior course of dealing, usage of trade, and/or verbal agreement not reduced to writing as a Supplier Consent is binding on Supplier. 2.4 Accepted Orders are binding on Customer and Supplier subject to the Authorized Terms, but Supplier is not required to accept any future and/or additional Orders (and Supplier does not guarantee that it will supply Customer’s requirements, nor does Supplier guarantee any other quantity/volume and/or that Customer has any exclusivity), except, in each case, to the extent otherwise unequivocally agreed to by Supplier (such as would be the case if set forth explicitly as a Supplier ‘GUARANTEE’ (using that word or a variation thereof directly in connection therewith) in an applicable Signed Agreement. Supplier does not otherwise guarantee the availability of its Offerings and, as such, shall not be liable for Allowances or other costs or deductions when Offerings are not available.
3. Allowances.
If, in Supplier’s sole discretion, Supplier ever offers to provide any allowance, credit, refund, billback, discount, marketing fund, merchandising fund, or other trade fund, promotional payment, etc. (each, an “Allowance“), Supplier is not be liable to pay it if there has not been full compliance with its terms and conditions. For example, Supplier’s resellers may be required to pass through to their direct and/or indirect customers the Allowance in order to qualify for it. Failing to do so would mean that Supplier is not liable for any such Allowance. As a further example, without limitation, if an allowance has a specific time period during which it is applicable, Supplier is not liable for that Allowance to the extent related to services performed outside of that time period.
4. Payments; Obligations of Customer.
4.1 Customer shall pay interest on all past due amounts (from the date they are past due) at a rate that is equal to the
lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law. To the extent permitted by law, Customer shall also
pay all costs and expenses involved in collection (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses) as well
as administrative fees. Supplier may suspend any and/or all performance until all past due amounts have been paid.
4.2 Customer shall not set off any payment obligations under the Authorized Terms.
4.3 Customer shall Customer shall comply with all applicable laws, order, rules, and regulations, and shall not permit or engage in any other Customer Misconduct. Customer shall permit audits to verify compliance with the foregoing by
Supplier and/or Supplier’s third-party representatives. Supplier agrees that such auditor will act in good faith to minimize any disruption to Customer. Supplier shall indemnify, defend (at Customer’s election), and hold harmless Customer, its Affiliates, and its and their Personnel from and against any and all direct and third-party (including governmental entities’/agencies’/authorities’ and Customer’s Personnel’s) Claims that are connected with, arise out of, and/or are related to (and in connection with defense obligations and the costs thereof allegedly are connected with, arise out of, and/or are related to) any Customer Misconduct and any and all associated Losses.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE OTHER AUTHORIZED TERMS, SUPPLIER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL OTHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY REPRESENTATIONS AND/OR WARRANTIES (INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE, ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND/OR NONINTERFERENCE AND/OR NONINFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND/OR EQUIVALENTS UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION). THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER DOES NOT AFFECT THE TERMS OF ANY WARRANTY FROM THIRD PARTIES (THAT ARE NOT SUPPLIER’S AFFILIATES AND/OR ITS AND/OR THEIR PERSONNEL). IF SUPPLIER HAS PROVIDED NO WARRANTY IN THE OTHER AUTHORIZED TERMS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OFFERING IS PROVIDED BY SUPPLIER “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, AND CUSTOMER IS NOT RELYING ON ANY DESCRIPTION, STATEMENT, SPECIFICATION, PHOTOGRAPH, ILLUSTRATION OR OTHER COMMUNICATION REPRESENTING THE OFFERING. ANY WARRANTY THAT THE LAW DOES NOT RECOGNIZE AS BEING DISCLAIMED OR WAIVED IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF TEN (10) DAYS OR SUCH LONGER TIME AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Unless otherwise stated in the other Authorized Terms or required by law, any description of an Offering is for identification purposes only, and Customer assumes all risks, including responsibility for damage to persons and property, arising out of and/or related in any way to the Offering, and, in such case, Customer expressly waives any claim that it may have against Supplier based on any product liability and/or any infringement and/or alleged infringement of any Intellectual Property rights (each a “Product Liability Claim”) with respect to the Offering and also waives any right to indemnification from Supplier from and/or against any such Product Liability Claim made against Customer by a third party, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; WAIVER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and to the maximum extent permitted by law, IN NO EVENT SHALL SUPPLIER AND/OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (AND/OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR PERSONNEL, SUCCESSORS, AND/OR ASSIGNS) BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON (WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL, ENTITY/ORGANIZATION, OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, AND/OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST BUSINESS, LOST AND/OR CORRUPTED DATA, LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL AND/OR REPUTATION, AND/OR DEGRADATION IN VALUE OF BRANDS, TRADE NAMES, SERVICE NAMES, AND/OR SERVICE MARKS) EVEN IF IT/HE/SHE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBLE EXISTENCE, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, FAILURE TO WARN, AND/OR STRICT LIABILITY), CONTRIBUTION, INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION,
AND/OR OTHERWISE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF DAMAGE, CLAIM, LIABILITY, COST, EXPENSE,
AND/OR LOSS.

price is profit).

Supplier shall have no liability to any subsequent purchaser of any Offering and/or to the ultimate or other user of any Offering, in contract, tort, warranty, strict liability, and/or otherwise.

in each case, to the extent they are direct, actual, and reasonable and directly caused by such governmentallymandated recall.
9. Force Majeure. Supplier is not responsible for, and shall not be liable for any losses or other damages resulting from, any delay and/or inability to perform if due to the following: any situation and/or circumstance whose cause is beyond
its reasonable control, including those that are an act of God (including any hurricane, typhoon, drought, earthquake,
lightning, snowstorm, or other adverse weather condition or natural calamity); an act or threat of war (including, but not limited to, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), invasion, act of foreign enemies, mobilization, requisition, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military, or usurped power, or civil war), terrorism, civil disorder, nuclear or utility incident, manmade environmental or natural calamity, explosion, fire, embargo, change in any law, order, rule, or regulation, epidemic, pandemic, infectious disease, illness, injury, famine, plague, quarantine, travel restriction, accident, flood, sabotage, or damage to tangible property; a riot, lockout, strike, slowdown, injunction, or labor dispute,

Any purported Assignment by one Party without the consent required by this Section 10 is null, void, and unenforceable against the other Party. No permitted Assignment shall relieve the Assignor of its obligations incurred prior to the date of the Assignment. Subject to the foregoing, the Authorized Terms and the rights and obligations of the Parties thereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties’ successors in interest and permitted Assigns.
11. Amendments/Modifications; Waivers.
11.1 No Signed Agreement may be amended/modified by either Party unless each Party amends/modifies it via a Duly Signed Writing using a form of the word “amends” therein.

unenforceability shall not affect any other term or condition therein or the whole thereof.

21.1 Each Party consents to the use of electronic delivery of communications/documents, and each such electronic delivery is deemed to have the same legal effect as hand delivery, where examples of electronic delivery include a sent email, an upload to a web portal, or a submission using software such as DocuSign®. Each Party further consents to the use of electronic signatures on and within communications/documents, and each such electronic signature is
deemed to have the same legal effect as an original, wet-ink signature, where examples of an electric signature include a .pdf or other copy of a handwritten signature or a signature in the form of one or more keystrokes or movements using electronic devices (such as checking a box with a keystroke, signing using a mouse, signing using software such as DocuSign® or Adobe®, or otherwise), except that each of the foregoing, to be binding against Supplier, must have the appearance of a cursive signature. No Party may object to the use of such authorized electronic signatures or such authorized electronic delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, forever waiving any and all such defenses, except, in each case, those defenses that would have been available were the communication/document a handdelivered, original, wet-ink signed document.
21.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a typed name in the body or closing of an email or in a text message is not deemed to be an electronic signature or an intention to make an agreement by electronic means unless otherwise stated explicitly within such email or text message.

an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same document.
