Common use of Change Orders; C-Series Orders Clause in Contracts

Change Orders; C-Series Orders. (a) Subject to the Parties’ agreement on extra cost or schedule delays and except as otherwise provided herein, a Buyer may reasonably increase or decrease the scope or change the schedule of the Order at any time during the course of the work to be performed. Any change that affects the cost or schedule of the work to be performed, as well as changes occasioned by revised or added specifications, drawings, data, or instructions, will be clearly defined by the applicable Buyer in a change order in the form of Exhibit A hereto (together with the various documents, information, instructions and other requirements describing the change to the work to be performed, including designs, drawings and written specifications, a “Change Order”). Any such Change Order, when received and accepted by Seller, shall be deemed an amendment to the applicable Order, and Seller shall comply with its terms promptly and fully. Unless otherwise expressly agreed and recorded in the Change Order, such Change Order shall cover all effects of a specific variation on the price under the applicable Order. When a Change Order reduces or omits any part of an Order, the portion of the price under such Order that relates to the reduction or omitted part shall be deducted from the total price to be paid. Any change in the Change Order shall not extend any completion date set out in the applicable Order unless it is first approved by the applicable Buyer in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, representatives of the applicable Buyer shall have authority to give written instructions to make reasonable and minor changes in the scope or specifications of an Order to the extent such changes involve no additional cost or schedule delays and are consistent with the spirit and purpose of the work described in the Order. However, if such representative’s instructions for changes to the Order would involve any extra cost or schedule delays to the applicable Buyer (as reasonably determined by Seller), Seller shall give such representative prior written notice of the amount involved and shall not commence to perform such work until after receiving a signed Change Order from the applicable Buyer.
