COUNTERFEIT WORK (a) The following definitions apply to this clause:
COUNTERFEIT GOODS Seller agrees that it will not furnish to Jeppesen Goods or separately-identifiable items or components of Goods that: (i) are an unauthorized copy or substitute of an “Original Equipment Manufacturer” or “Original Component Manufacturer” (collectively, “OEM”) item; (ii) are not traceable to an OEM sufficient to ensure authenticity in OEM design and manufacture; (iii) do not contain proper external or internal materials or components required by the OEM or are not constructed in accordance with OEM design; (iv) have been re- worked, re-marked, re-labeled, repaired, refurbished, or otherwise modified from OEM design but not disclosed as such or are represented as OEM authentic or new; or (v) have not passed successfully all OEM required testing, verification, screening, and quality control processes, (collectively “Counterfeit Goods”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Goods or items that contain modifications, repairs, re-work, or re-marking as a result of Seller’s or its subcontractor’s design authority, material review procedures, quality control processes or parts management plans, and that have not been misrepresented or mismarked without legal right to do so, will not be deemed Counterfeit Goods. Counterfeit Goods will be deemed nonconforming for this PO under which they were delivered. Seller will implement and/or maintain an appropriate strategy to ensure that Goods furnished to Jeppesen under this PO are not Counterfeit Goods. Seller’s strategy will include, but is not limited to, the direct procurement of items from OEMs or authorized suppliers, conducting approved testing or inspection to ensure the authenticity of items, and, when items are to be procured from non-authorized suppliers, obtaining from such non-authorized suppliers appropriate certificates of conformance that provide one or more of the following: (i) the OEM’s original certificate of conformance for the item; (ii) sufficient records providing unbroken supply chain traceability to the OEM; or (iii) test and inspection records demonstrating the item’s authenticity. If Seller becomes aware or suspects that it has furnished Counterfeit Goods to Jeppesen under this PO, Seller promptly, but in no case later than thirty (30) days from discovery, will notify Jeppesen in writing and replace, at Seller’s expense, such Counterfeit Goods with OEM or Jeppesen- approved Goods that conform to the requirements of this PO. Seller will be liable for all costs related to the replacement of Counterfeit Goods, installation of authentic Goods, and any testing or validation necessitated by the installation of authentic Goods after the Counterfeit Goods have been replaced. Seller bears responsibility for procuring authentic Goods or items from its subcontractors and will ensure that all such subcontractors comply with the requirements of this Section.
