STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE (FOR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES)

1. Applicability.

(a) These terms and conditions of purchase (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the purchase of the products (“Products”) and/or services (including any deliverables required for those services) (“Services”) by Ornua Foods North America Inc. (“Ornua”) from the person, corporation or other entity from whom Ornua purchases Products and/or Services (“Seller”). Each of Ornua and Seller are referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”.

(b) Each applicable order and/or purchase agreement issued by Ornua in writing for the purchase of Products and/or Services (each, a “Purchase Order”) and these Terms (collectively, the “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral, in relation to its subject matter. These Terms prevail over any of Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale regardless of whether or when Seller has submitted its sales confirmation or such terms. The Purchase Order shall be deemed accepted on the earlier of (i) Seller issuing a written acceptance of the Purchase Order or (ii) any act by Seller consistent with fulfillment of the Purchase Order. Seller’s acceptance of a Purchase Order is expressly limited to the terms of the Agreement.

2. Delivery of Products and Performance of Services.

(a) Seller shall deliver Products in the quantities and on the date(s) specified in a Purchase Order or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto (the “Delivery Date”). If Seller fails to deliver Products in full on the Delivery Date, Ornua may terminate the Agreement immediately by providing written Notice to Seller. Seller shall indemnify Ornua against any losses, claims, damages, and reasonable costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) directly attributable to Seller’s failure to deliver Products on the Delivery Date.

(b) Seller shall deliver all Products to the place specified in a Purchase Order which may include delivery to a carrier (the “Delivery Point”). Where the Delivery Point is at Ornua’s plant, delivery shall be made during Ornua’s normal business hours or as otherwise instructed by Ornua. Where the Delivery Point is at any other place, delivery shall be made at a time agreed to by the parties hereto. Seller shall pack all goods for shipment according to Ornua’s instructions or, if there are no instructions, in a manner sufficient to ensure that Products are delivered in undamaged condition. Seller must provide Ornua with prior written Notice if it requires Ornua to return any packaging material. Any return of such packaging material shall be made at Seller’s risk of loss and expense.

(c) Seller shall deliver Products that conform with the specification for Products set out in a Purchase Order or otherwise agreed by the parties hereto in writing and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms.

(d) Seller shall provide Services to Ornua as described and in accordance with the written specification and schedule for Services set out in a Purchase Order or otherwise agreed by the parties hereto in writing and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms.

(e) Seller acknowledges that time is of the essence with respect to Seller’s obligations hereunder, including all performance dates and other requirements in the Agreement.

3. Quantity. If Seller delivers more or less than the quantity of Products ordered, Ornua may reject all or any excess Products. Any such rejected Products shall be returned to Seller at Seller’s sole risk and expense. If Ornua does not reject Products and instead accepts the delivery of Products at the increased or reduced quantity, the Price for Products shall be adjusted on a pro-rata basis.

4. Shipping Terms. Delivery of Products shall be made in accordance with the shipping terms specified in a Purchase Order in accordance with the meaning of such terms under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the United States of America. A Purchase Order number must appear on all shipping documents, shipping labels, bills of lading, air waybills, invoices, correspondence and any other documents pertaining to a Purchase Order.

5. Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss passes to Ornua upon delivery of Products at the Delivery Point in accordance with the Agreement.

6. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Products and Services.

(a) Ornua has the right to inspect Products on or after the Delivery Date. Ornua, at its sole option, may inspect all or a sample of Products, and may reject all or any portion of Products if it determines Products are nonconforming or defective. If Ornua rejects any portion of Products, Ornua has the right, effective upon written Notice to Seller, to: (a) rescind the Agreement in its entirety; (b) accept Products at a reasonably reduced price; or (c) reject Products and require a refund of the Price paid for the rejected Products or replacement of the rejected Products. If Ornua requires replacement Products, Seller shall, at its expense, promptly replace the nonconforming or defective Products and pay for all related expenses, including, but not limited to, transportation charges for the return of the defective goods and the delivery of replacement Products. If Seller fails to timely deliver replacement Products, Ornua may replace them with goods from a third party and charge Seller the costs incurred in obtaining the replacement goods and terminate the Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 17. Any inspection or other action by Ornua under this Section shall not reduce or otherwise affect Seller’s obligations under the Agreement, and Ornua shall have the right to conduct further inspections after Seller has carried out its remedial actions.

(b) Ornua has the right to assess Services (which for the avoidance of doubt includes any deliverables associated with such Services) on or after the Delivery Date or any other milestones agreed in the Purchase Order. Ornua may reject all or any portion of Services if it determines Services are nonconforming or defective. If Ornua rejects any portion of Services, Ornua has the right, effective upon written Notice to Seller, to: (a) rescind the Agreement in its entirety; (b) accept Services at a reasonably reduced price; or (c) reject Services and require a refund of the Price paid for the rejected Services or re-performance of the rejected Services. If Ornua requires re-performance of Services, Seller shall, at its expense, promptly re-perform the nonconforming or defective Services and pay for all related expenses. If Seller fails to timely reperform Services, Ornua may replace them with services from a third party and charge Seller the costs incurred in obtaining the replacement services and terminate the Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 17. Any inspection or other action by Ornua under this Section shall not reduce or otherwise affect Seller’s obligations under the Agreement, and Ornua shall have the right to conduct further assessments after Seller has carried out any remedial actions.

7. Price. The price of Products and Services is the price stated in a Purchase Order (the “Price”). If no price is included in a Purchase Order, the Price shall be the price set out in Seller’s published price list in force as of the date of a Purchase Order, or as otherwise agreed by both parties in writing. Unless otherwise specified in a Purchase Order, the Price includes all packaging, transportation costs to the Delivery Point, insurance, customs duties and fees and applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, all sales, use or excise taxes. No increase in the Price is effective, whether due to increased material, labor or transportation costs or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Ornua.

8. Payment Terms. Seller shall issue an invoice to Ornua on or any time after the full delivery of Products or completion of Services, as applicable, and only in accordance with these Terms. Except as otherwise expressly agreed by Seller and Ornua in writing, Ornua shall pay all properly invoiced amounts due to Seller within 60 days of Ornua’s receipt of such invoice, except for any amounts disputed by Ornua in good faith. Except as otherwise expressly agreed by Seller and Ornua, all payments hereunder must be in US dollars (unless Ornua has agreed an alternative currency in the Purchase Agreement) and shall be made by electronic transfer to a bank account nominated by Seller or by cheque made out to Seller. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, Ornua reserves the right to set off at any time any amount owing to it by Seller against any amount payable by Ornua to Seller under the Agreement. In the event of a payment dispute, Ornua shall deliver a written statement to Seller listing all disputed items and providing a reasonably detailed description of each disputed item. Amounts not so disputed are deemed accepted and must be paid, notwithstanding disputes on other items, within the period set forth in this Section 8. The parties hereto shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously and in good faith. Seller shall continue performing its obligations under the Agreement notwithstanding any such dispute.

9. Seller’s Obligations Regarding Services. Seller shall:

(a) before the date on which Services are to start, obtain, and at all times during the term of the Agreement, maintain, all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws and governmental regulations, orders, guidelines and policies applicable to the provision of Services (including but not limited to pandemic guidelines issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, federal and local governments or any similar governmental entity);

Nothing contained in the Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between Ornua and any subcontractor or supplier of Seller;

Seller shall within 7 days of receipt of a Change Order submit to Ornua a proposal for costs in respect of the Change Order and, if delays cannot reasonably be avoided as a result of the Change Order, a new Delivery Date.

20. Force Majeure. Neither party hereto shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure in performing its obligations under the Agreement to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by an event or circumstance that is beyond the reasonable control of that party, without such party’s fault or negligence, and which by its nature could not have been foreseen by such party or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable (“Force Majeure Event”).

24. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of the Agreement.
