Terms & Conditions of Sale of Products for Revvity Gene Delivery, Inc.

These Terms and Conditions apply to orders between Revvity Gene Delivery, Inc. ("we" and "us"), and the buyer of products ("Buyer" or "you") where our quotation or sales order incorporates them by reference. You may use the products in research only and not in humans in any form, as further provided in Section 9 (Limitations on Use).

1. Orders, prices & taxes

All orders are subject to written acceptance by us, which may be by email accepting your signed sales quotation from us or by other means. Written sales quotations expire automatically thirty (30) days from the date issued (unless otherwise stated in the quotation) and are subject to change or termination prior to your written acceptance during that period. All prices shall be as specified by us or, if no price has been specified or quoted, shall be the list price in effect at the time of purchase. All prices are subject to adjustment on account of specifications, quantities, shipment arrangements or other terms or conditions which are not part of our original sales quotation. All prices are exclusive of all excise, sales, use, transfer, value added, consumption, and other taxes and duties imposed with respect to the products or their sale by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental authority (other than income tax on our income). Any such tax we may be required to collect or to pay shall be due and payable under the terms of payment in Section 2 below unless you furnish us a tax exemption certificate satisfactory to taxing authorities.

2. Terms of payment

You will pay us the purchase price stated in the order in the currency stated in the order. If your delivery address is outside the U.S., you will pay by wire transfer to an account designated by us. Payment terms are net fourteen (14) days from date of invoice. Late payments shall be subject to interest at the lower rate of (i) 1% per month and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. Amounts owed by you with respect to which there is no dispute must be paid by the due date without set-off for any amounts which you may claim are owed by us and regardless of any other disagreements which may exist. We may terminate or suspend performance on any and all orders immediately upon written notice to you in the event you are late with any payment. In addition, in the event you are late with any payment (even if you make a partial payment), we may require full payment before making any subsequent deliveries on any orders. You shall pay us for all reasonable legal fees and other costs of collecting payments that are late. We will apply any partial payment first against our collection expenses, second against accrued interest, and third against the purchase price. Our acceptance of any partial payment shall have no affect on our rights.

3. Modified product

A "Modified Product" is any product that you buy from us that includes modifications based, in whole or in part, on specifications from you or materials provided by you. You represent and warrant that any materials that you provide to us are what they purport to be, are in usable condition, and that you own them. If such materials require any special storage or handling, you must inform us in writing before we receive them and you will be responsible for any additional expense incurred in providing such storage and handling. Also before we receive the materials, you must provide us with a material safety data sheet (or similar documentation) and any other information required by applicable law or regulation on the materials. You are responsible in all respects for getting the materials to us (or our affiliate or subcontractor) in a timely manner and in good condition, including without limitation paying all packing and shipping costs, and arranging and paying for all necessary export and import licenses and duties on them and for clearing them through customs. Before shipping the materials to us (or our affiliate or subcontractor), you must obtain the delivery address from us. You are also responsible for obtaining, at your expense, any permit which we (or our affiliate or subcontractor) must have to use the materials. The risk of loss to all such materials remains with you at all times. We may dispose of any excess materials at your reasonable expense. We will use reasonable efforts to make Modified Products, but do not guarantee that we can do so.

4. Fulfillment, delivery and acceptance

We will provide you the products you order, subject to these Terms and Conditions. We may source any products you order from Sirion Biotech GmbH or another third party, including from outside the U.S and including by subcontracting their manufacture. All sales are Ex Works (Incoterms) our premises, unless, at our election, we deliver them to you directly from our manufacturer or supplier, in which case the sale is Ex Works (Incoterms) the premises of our manufacturer or supplier. All shipping dates are approximate only. We shall use reasonable efforts to meet requested delivery dates, but shall not be liable for our failure to do so. We may deliver early and may make partial deliveries. We may make reasonable changes to product specifications that do not materially affect the quality or performance of the products. All products shall be deemed accepted by you unless you notify us of in writing of any defects within ten (10) days after receipt in accordance with any process we have established for evaluation of alleged defects.

5. Packing, shipping, risk of loss, insurance

We will pack the product as specified in the agreed order and, in the absence of packing specifications, we will pack it in the manner determined by us. We shall choose the manner of shipping the product, including choice of carrier, unless we otherwise agree in writing. The delivery address that we specify to the carrier will be the one in the agreed order, unless we otherwise agree in writing. You will reimburse us for any packing, shipping and handling expenses we reasonably incur. Risk of loss shall pass to you when we make the product available to the carrier. It is up to you to insure against this risk of loss.

6. Export and import of product

It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for all necessary export and import licenses and duties on product and for clearance of product through customs, whether arising from (a) the shipment of the product from outside the U.S. or (b) your delivery address being outside the U.S. If the product will be shipped from outside the U.S., we will notify you of the origin point in advance of shipment. If you make a written request for our assistance in making export and import arrangements and clearing customs, (x) we will provide reasonable assistance ourselves and/or through a subcontractor, and (y) you authorize us (and our affiliates and subcontractors) to provide such assistance and to execute such documentation and make such representations and warranties on your behalf as may be necessary or desirable. If the product is a Modified Product, you represent and warrant that the product is biosafety level 1 or 2, is not dual use (capable of being used for both military and non-military purposes), and will be used solely for non-military purposes, and you authorize us (and our affiliates and subcontractors) to make these representations and warranties on your behalf if you request such assistance. You will reimburse us for all reasonable expenses we incur in providing such assistance, including without limitation subcontractor charges. Under no circumstances are we required to advance any amount for any export or import license or any customs duties or for storage or impoundment or the like, but if we do, you will reimburse us.

7. Limited warranty

As to off-the-shelf products made by us or our affiliates (or our respective contract manufacturers), we warrant that the product will substantially conform to the technical specifications for the product as provided in our online description of the product and in documentation accompanying the product, until its expiration date or, if none is stated, twelve (12) months from date of shipment of the product. As to Modified Product (as defined above) made by us or our affiliates (or our respective contract manufacturers), we warrant that the product will substantially conform to the technical specifications for the product, until its expiration date or, if none is stated, twelve (12) months from your receipt of the product. The technical specifications for Modified Products consist of the technical specifications you provide to us which we accept, if any, and our supplementary technical specifications, if any. If you claim such an off-the-shelf product or Modified Product does not conform to the applicable warranty, you must send us (or our designee) a sample for inspection, properly packed by you to preserve its condition during shipment. If we confirm the defect (using analytical methods reasonably selected by us), you must, at our election and expense, either (a) promptly return the product to us under a return-material-authorization (RMA) issued by us or (b) properly dispose of it and certify such disposal to us. Thereafter, at no extra charge, (a) as to off-the-shelf product, we will provide you with replacement product and (b) as to Modified Product, we will re-make it to conform to the applicable specifications, provided that you again supply any materials that you previously supplied. If we are unable to do so, or in our determination it is impractical for us to do so, we will refund that portion of the price you have paid for the product and your order will be deemed canceled. The foregoing warranty claims must be made by you within thirty (30) days after you discover the non-conformity, and in any event during the applicable warranty period. Our warranty will not be effective if we determine (a) with respect to any such product, whether or not a Modified Product, that you have failed to use or store the product in accordance with our instructions and/or industry standards, or have altered or misused it, or if the defect resulted from neglect or accident caused by you, or if you re-use the product or (b) with respect to such a Modified Product, that any material you provide for making or incorporation into the product is not what it purports to be, or is contaminated, or, if incorporated, fails to remain in good condition until the expiration of the warranty. As to product which is made by a third party (other than our affiliates or our respective contact manufacturers), we make no warranty whatsoever and we assign to you, if we can, whatever warranty the manufacturer made to us. THE APPLICABLE LIMITED WARRANTY IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS THE ONLY WARRANTY GIVEN BY US WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT. WE MAKE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OF TRADE, OR INDUSTRY STANDARD, OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, OR FROM ADVERTISING, BROCHURES, PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS, PROPOSALS, DOCUMENTATION, PACKAGING, OR OTHER DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE OR COMMUNICATIONS.

DELIVERY DATES AND TIMES ARE ESTIMATES ONLY AND WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY LOSSES, EXPENSES, CLAIMS OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY AN EARLY OR LATE DELIVERY.
