Terms and Conditions

Delivery

Delivery shall be made to the place within the time and in the manner specified in this purchase order. Infosat may cancel this purchase order, in whole or in part, without liability if supplies and/or work are not delivered within the time specified or in the manner specified.

Inspection and Acceptance

All supplies and/or work may be subject to inspection by Infosat or by Infosat’s customer at any time prior to shipment to Infosat. In order to carry out such inspection, Infosat and/or Infosat’s customer shall have reasonable access to the work and to the plant where any part of the work is being carried out. Inspection at the supplier’s plant shall not relieve the supplier from responsibility for defects or other failure to meet the requirements of this purchase order, nor shall such inspection be used by the supplier as evidence of effective control of quality by the supplier. All supplies and/or work provided pursuant to this purchase order shall be subject to inspection and acceptance by Infosat. Payment shall not constitute acceptance of the supplies and/or work by Infosat, either as to quality or quantity. The supplier shall bear the costs of delivery and return of defective or unsatisfactory supplies and/or work rejected by Infosat. All defective or unsatisfactory supplies and/or work may be rejected by Infosat and Infosat may cancel this purchase order, in whole or in part, without liability when it rejects defective or unsatisfactory supplies or may require correction or replacement at the supplier’s expense.

Warranty

Notwithstanding inspection or acceptance or both by Infosat of the supplies and/or work delivered and in addition to any rights, conditions and warranties implied by law, the supplier warrants for the warranty period identified on the face of this purchase order or 12 months from the date of delivery to Infosat or its end user  that all supplies and/or work delivered shall: a) be free from any defects in design, material and workmanship; and b) conform to the descriptions in this purchase order or to any samples, specifications, drawings or other descriptions furnished or adopted by Infosat. The supplier shall, at its own expense, replace any supplies and/or work which do not comply with the above warranties.

Indemnity

The supplier shall pay for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Infosat, its directors, officers, agents and employees for all losses and liability arising from: (i) damage or injury to persons or property, in any manner arising out of or incident to the performance of the purchase order by the supplier; (ii) any claims, suits, actions or other proceedings alleging infringement of any patent, copyright, design or other intellectual property right, or unauthorized use of disclosure of proprietary information in respect of the supplies provided to Infosat hereunder; or (iii) breach by the supplier of any provision, including warranties, contained in this purchase order. Liability for such damages will include, without limitation, the cost to replace the supplies provided hereunder and any consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profits and claims made by Infosat’s customers. The supplier shall promptly on notification of such a claim, action, suit or proceeding assume the defence thereof, pay all costs and expenses in respect of such defence, and pay or satisfy all costs, damages, royalties or other sums, which may be decreed or awarded against Infosat, its directors, officers, agents and employees.
