Termination
Without Cause
We may terminate all or any part of the Purchase Order at our convenience, without cause, at any time by giving you ten (10) days written notice. In such event, you shall immediately cease all work and terminate all orders and contracts, and we shall
be liable to you only for your reasonable actual costs which were required based on lead times as a direct result of the termination which may not be recovered or mitigated (e.g. purchased materials and labor costs incurred prior to receipt of notice
of termination). You will notify us in writing of such costs within thirty (30) days of termination. The foregoing shall constitute our only liability to you for termination without cause.
With Cause
If you default, we may terminate all or any part of the Purchase Order without liability to you by giving notice to you. A default will occur if you: (i) fail to perform within the time period specified in the Purchase Order; (ii) so fail to make progress
as to endanger performance of the Purchase Order, (iii) fail to comply with the applicable laws and regulations under which you do business; or (iv) fail to comply with our integrity policies or the compliance requirements described herein. We may
terminate this Purchase Order upon a default and if you do not cure the default within ten (10) days (or any longer period we authorize in writing) after your receipt of our written notice of default. Additionally, if we determine that any of your
representations, warranties, certifications or covenants are untrue, we shall have the right to terminate this Purchase Order immediately without further compensation to you, and you shall compensate us for any damages suffered by us as a result of
your untrue representations, warranties, certifications or breach of covenants. A default will also occur if you fail to meet your financial obligations as they become due, if any proceeding under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws is brought against
you, a receiver is appointed for you, or you make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. If a Purchase Order is terminated due to your default, without prejudice to any other legal or equitable remedies available to us, we will have the right
to: (a) refuse to accept delivery of any and all Products; (b) return to you unused Products already accepted and recover from you payments made for such Products (and for our freight, storage and other expenses); (c) recover any advance payments
to you for undelivered or returned Products; (d) purchase Products elsewhere and charge you with any resultant losses, including without limitation incidental or consequential damages incurred which are attributed to your default; and (e) take title
to and possession of any previously undeliverable part of work performed under this Purchase Order.
Applicable laws
You represent, warrant, certify, and covenant that your performance under this Purchase Order will comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, and all conventions and standards, as amended from time to time, of each and all countries
