Common use of Inspection and Quality Assurance Clause in Contracts

Inspection and Quality Assurance. 8.1 If so requested by the Company, any Product may be subject to inspection, tests, and audits by the Company or its authorised agent at reasonable times and places prior to delivery. The Seller agrees to provide access for the Company to its premises (and to procure access to the premises of any applicable third party) at all reasonable times for such inspection, tests, and audits, and to provide all assistance and facilities reasonably necessary for such purpose (and to procure that any applicable third parties do the same). 8.2 The Seller warrants that it has and will maintain an adequate quality control/assurance programme with respect to the production and delivery of the Products and that it creates and maintains adequate quality control/assurance reports, certificates, affidavits, and other such records relating to the Products. The Seller agrees that, upon request and at no additional charge, it will furnish authenticated copies of such documents, as well as applicable certificates of conformance and/or compliance acceptable to the Company, on or before delivery of the relevant Products. 8.3 Neither the inspection, testing, or auditing of any Product, nor the failure to do so, by the Company prior to their delivery to the Company shall constitute acceptance of that Product, or affect the Seller’s obligation to supply Products in accordance with these Conditions, or limit the rights of the Company in the case of the Products subsequently proving non-compliant with these Conditions.
