Common use of Client Furnished Items Clause in Contracts

Client Furnished Items. Client may provide BIT with equipment, tooling, components or documentation (collectively the “Client-Furnished Items”). If essential to the manufacture of the Products, the Client hereby covenants, represents and warrants that the Client-Furnished Items shall be fit for their intended purposes and shall be delivered to BIT in a timely manner, and that all documentation (including BOM’s, drawings, artwork, design history, validation and calibration/maintenance procedures and intervals) shall be current and complete. Client shall be solely and fully responsible for schedule delay, reasonable inventory carrying charges and allocated equipment downtime charges associated with the incompleteness, late delivery, or non-delivery of the Client-Furnished Items. All Client-Furnished Items shall remain the property of Client. BIT may identify Client-Furnished Items by an appropriate tag and utilize such Client-Furnished Items solely in connection with the manufacture of Client’s Product. BIT shall not make or allow modifications to be made to the Client-Furnished Items without Client’s prior written consent. BIT shall be responsible for reasonable diligence and care in the use and protection of any Client-Furnished Items. Client shall be responsible for maintenance, repairs or replacements (including service warranties, engineering changes and calibration to the equipment) of failed Client-Furnished Item unless such failure was caused by BIT’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. While in BIT’s possession, BIT shall be responsible for proper storage and use of Client-Furnished Item including maintaining appropriate insurance coverage for property damage, loss or theft of Client-Furnished Item. All Client-Furnished Items shall be returned to Client at Client’s expense upon request, and BIT’s production and warranty obligations which require the utilization of the returned Client-Furnished Items shall cease upon BIT’s fulfillment of such request.
