LMED Terms of Sale
1. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. These Terms are the final, complete and exclusive terms of sale between the Parties, superseding all prior or contemporaneous proposals, understandings, representations, warranties, promises and other communications, whether oral or written, relating to its subject matter. Any term in any Customer order, confirmation or other document which is in any way inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions of these terms are expressly rejected, and LMED’s acceptance of any Customer order is made in reliance on Customer’s assent to all these terms.
2. PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS.
A. PRICES. Prices for Products are set in the Parties’ Escrow Agreement and do not include any excise, sales, use or other taxes, and therefore are subject to increase in the amount of any such taxes that LMED may be required to collect or pay upon the sale or delivery of the Products. In addition, unless otherwise stated, prices do not include any charges for any shipping, handling, customs, insurance or similar charges referred to in Section 5 below, all of which will be invoiced to and paid by Customer.
B. PURCHASE ORDER PROCESS. Customer shall place orders for Products by submitting one or more written purchase orders to LMED during the Term. Each purchase order must state the descriptions and quantities of the Products being ordered, the requested shipment dates and shipping address for the Products. No other terms or conditions set in a purchase order shall be binding on LMED. No purchase order submitted by Customer shall be binding on LMED unless and until LMED has accepted such delivery schedule or countered with a different delivery schedule by written acknowledgment or by shipment of the Products applicable to such purchase order.
C. STANDARD PRODUCTS. Unless specifically agreed by LMED in writing: 1) all Products shall be LMED’s supplier’s standard, off-the-shelf items, and no special or customized version of any Product shall be provided.
D. RELATED SERVICES. The Parties may agree that LMED will provide to Customer from time-to-time certain services relating to Customer’s purchase of the Products, including without limitation deployment services and maintenance and support services. The Parties agree that, in the absence of a separate written agreement covering such services, such services shall be covered by the provisions of this Agreement and Customer shall be separately invoiced for all such services in accordance with Section 4 below at LMED’s then-current rates for such services.
3. CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF CUSTOMER. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND OTHER STANDARDS. Customer must comply with all import, bribery, export and re-export control laws and regulations. Customer will obtain import, export, and re-export approvals and licenses required for Products, transfers, and services delivered and will retain documentation to support compliance with those laws and regulations. LMED will not be liable to Customer for any failure to provide Products, services, or transfers resulting from government actions that impact LMED's ability to perform, including: 1) the failure to provide or the cancellation of export or re-export licenses; 2) any subsequent interpretation of applicable import, transfer or export law or regulation after the date of any order or commitment that has a material adverse effect on LMED's performance; or 3) delays due to Customer’s failure to follow applicable import, export, transfer, or re-export laws and regulations. Customer shall not sell, transfer, export or re-export any Products, services or technical data for use in activities that involve the design, development, production, use or stockpiling of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons or missiles, nor use LMED’s Products, or services in any facility which engages in activities relating to such weapons or missiles. In addition, the Products and services may not be used in connection with any activity involving nuclear fission or fusion, or any use or handling of any nuclear material, until Customer, at no expense to LMED, has insurance coverage, indemnities, and waivers of liability, recourse and subrogation acceptable to LMED and adequate in LMED's opinion to protect LMED against any liability.
4. TERMS OF PAYMENT. Payment will be made under terms of the Parties’ Escrow Agreement or as otherwise agreed by LMED.
5. DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS
A. SHIPPING SCHEDULE. LMED shall use reasonable efforts to ship Products to Customer in accordance with the shipment schedule provided to LMED. LMED reserves the right to ship Products as early as 5 business days before the requested shipment date to accommodate LMED’s overall delivery schedules. Notwithstanding this and without limiting the generality of Section 10 below, LMED shall not be liable for damages of any kind as a result of a delay in delivery for any reason.
B. CHANGES PERMITTED. Customer may change a previously requested shipment date for any Products provided Customer gives and LMED accepts in writing written notice of such change at least 30 business days before the previously requested shipment date.
C. CHANGES SUBJECT TO CONSENT. Except as provided in Section 5(B) above, Customer may not change a previously requested shipment date or cancel an order for any Products or return any Products except with LMED’s prior express written consent, which consent shall be in LMED’s sole discretion.
D. SHIPMENT PROCESS. All deliveries shall be Ex-Works (EXW) LMED’s supplier’s designated facility, per Incoterms 2022. Unless otherwise specified by Customer in writing at least 30 days before a requested shipment date, LMED shall determine in its discretion the means of shipment and shall not be responsible for arranging insurance for Products. LMED shall invoice Customer for any and all shipping, handling, customs, insurance and similar charges incurred by LMED in shipping Products to Customer, and Customer shall pay such charges pursuant to Section 4 above. LMED also reserves the right to ship Products to Customer freight collect. Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Products upon the date title to such Products passes to Customer.
E. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE. Customer will inspect Products before shipment. Products will be presumed accepted unless LMED receives written notice of rejection explaining the basis for rejection at least 10 business days before shipment. LMED will have a reasonable opportunity to repair or replace rejected Products, at its option. If LMED determines rejection was improper, Customer will be responsible for all expenses caused by the improper rejection.
6. TITLE TO PRODUCTS
A. PASSAGE OF TITLE. Title to Products, and risk of damage thereto or loss thereof, shall pass to Customer at the time LMED or its supplier makes the Products available to Customer for shipment.
B. TRADEMARKS. Customer shall not remove from the Products or their packaging or documentation, or alter, any of LMED’s trademarks, trade names, logos, patent or copyright notices, or other notices or markings, or add any other notices or markings to the Products or their packaging or documentation, without the prior express written consent of LMED.
7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
A. “Confidential Information” means: 1) any information, technical data or know-how in whatever form, including but not limited to documented information, machine readable or interpreted 6 information, information contained in physical components, mask works and artwork, that is clearly identified as being confidential, proprietary or a trade secret; 2) business-related information including but not limited to pricing, manufacturing or marketing information; 3) the terms and conditions of any proposed or actual agreement between the Parties or their affiliates; 4) either Party’s or its affiliates’ business policies or practices; and 5) the information of others identified as confidential, proprietary or a trade secret that is received by either Party under an obligation of confidentiality.

The warranties do not apply if, in the sole opinion of LMED, the Product has been damaged by accident, misuse, neglect, or improper shipping or handling. This warranty is valid only if the Product has not been tampered with or serviced by any Party not authorized by LMED as a repair facility. Customer’s remedies and LMED’s aggregate liability with respect to the warranties provided by LMED in this Section 9(A) are set forth in and are limited by this Section 9 and Section 10 below.

B. GOVERNING LAW. The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Arizona without regard to the conflicts of laws principles. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts sitting in Maricopa County Arizona for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

C. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or portion of a provision of the Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions will not be affected and will remain in full force and effect and, in lieu of an illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there are deemed added provisions as similar in terms as may be legal, valid and enforceable under applicable law.

Any such future modification, amendment, supplement or other change (“Change”) shall apply only with respect to orders accepted after the effective date of such Change. As used herein, the term “Agreement” shall include any such future Change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LMED may establish terms and conditions which apply to one or more particular Products, and in this event such terms and conditions shall, with respect to the Products addressed therein, supersede this Agreement.
E. ASSIGNMENTS. No Customer right or obligation under this Agreement may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred, whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise, without LMED’S prior express written consent, and any attempt to assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of Customer’s rights or obligations hereunder without such consent shall be void.

This Agreement shall bind Customer and its permitted successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, LMED may engage subcontractors to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.
F. WAIVERS. All waivers must be in writing. Failure of either Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right provided for herein, shall not be deemed to be a waiver for the future of such provision or right, and no waiver of any provision or right shall affect the right of the waiving Party to enforce any other provision or right herein.
G. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. Any breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to LMED for which no adequate remedy at law exists; therefore, the Parties agree that equitable remedies, including without limitation injunctive relief and specific performance, are appropriate remedies for LMED to redress any breach or threatened breach this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies available to the Parties.
H. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. All rights and remedies are cumulative, may be exercised singularly or concurrently, and shall not be deemed exclusive except as provided herein.

L. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES. The Parties acknowledge that they are independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute either Party hereto as the partner, joint venture, employee, agent, servant or other representative of the other Party hereto, and neither Party has the right to bind or obligate the other, except as specifically provided above. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute Customer as an exclusive purchaser of the Products in any respect.
M. DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS. From time to time, LMED’s supplier at its sole discretion may discontinue Products. In such an event, LMED will use reasonable commercial efforts to suggest a Product migration strategy to Customer.

Termination does not affect any debt, claim or cause of action accruing to any Party against the other before the termination. The rights of termination provided in this clause are not exclusive of other remedies that either Party may be entitled to under this Agreement or in law or equity.
