Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods The Buyer has the right to inspect the Goods on or after the Delivery Date. Buyer, at its sole option, may inspect all or a sample of the Goods, and may reject all or any portion of the Goods if it determines the Goods are nonconforming or defective. If Buyer rejects any portion of the Goods, Buyer has the right, effective upon written notice to Seller, to: (a) rescind the Order in its entirety; (b) accept the Goods at a reasonably reduced price; or (c) reject the Goods and require replacement of the rejected Goods. If Buyer requires replacement of the Goods, Seller shall, at its expense, promptly replace the nonconforming Goods and pay for all related expenses, including, but not limited to, transportation charges for the return of the defective goods and the delivery of replacement Goods. If Seller fails to timely deliver replacement Goods, Buyer may replace them with goods from a third party and charge Seller the cost thereof and terminate this Order for cause pursuant to Section 19. Any inspection or other action by Buyer under this Section shall not reduce or otherwise affect Seller's obligations under the Order, and Buyer shall have the right to conduct further inspections after Seller has carried out its remedial actions.
Non-Conforming Product (a) In the event Patheon discovers a potential Non-Conforming Product prior to delivery of such Product to Flexion, Patheon shall provide written notice to Flexion as soon as practicable describing in detail the Non-Conforming Product and the potential cause of such Non-Conforming Product. Flexion (or its shipping carrier) will perform a customary inspection of the Products Manufactured by Patheon on receipt. For the avoidance of doubt, such inspection will be limited to a visual inspection of the shipment-ready packaged Products (and associated shipping documentation) and Flexion will not be obliged to perform any testing of the Product. Flexion shall within (i) […***…] days after delivery thereof by Patheon or (ii) within […***…] days after Flexion discovers or is informed of a discovery of nonconformity that could not reasonably have been detected by the customary inspection on delivery (but not after the expiration date of the Product), give Patheon notice of any Non-Conforming Product (including a sample of such Non-Conforming Product, if applicable) (a “Deficiency Notice”). Subject to Flexion’s rights under 3.10 and 3.12, should Flexion fail to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable […***…] day period, then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Flexion on the […***…] day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Patheon shall have no liability under this Section 2.8 for Nonconforming Product for which it has not received a Deficiency Notice within such applicable […***…] day period.
(b) Patheon shall conduct a root-cause analysis to verify whether a Product constitutes a Non-Conforming Product and, if found, to determine the cause of such Non-Conforming Product (including by undertaking an appropriate evaluation of a Non-Conforming Product sample, as applicable). Flexion shall provide reasonable cooperation to Patheon in connection with any such root-cause analysis. Patheon shall notify Flexion in writing of its determination regarding whether the Product constitutes a Non-Conforming Product within […***…] days after either discovery of the Non-Conforming Product or receipt of such Deficiency Notice from Flexion, as applicable. Such notification shall include Patheon’s good faith determination of the cause of the Non-Conforming Product.
ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK If the Owner prefers to accept Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.
Defective Product If Client rejects Products under Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to have arisen from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Patheon will credit Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price for the defective Products. If Client previously paid for the defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for the defective Products; (ii) offset the amount paid against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in defective Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2.
Defective Products A defective product may be returned to PRECISIONARY INSTRUMENTS within thirty (30) days of the delivery date for a refund of the original purchase price with the following amendments/fees. To return a defective product, please contact our Customer Service Department and follow the Return of Products Instructions below.
REPAIRED OR REPLACED PARTS / COMPONENTS Where the Contractor is required to repair, replace or substitute Product or parts or components of the Product under the Contract, the repaired, replaced or substituted Products shall be subject to all terms and conditions for new parts and components set forth in the Contract including Warranties, as set forth in the Additional Warranties Clause herein. Replaced or repaired Product or parts and components of such Product shall be new and shall, if available, be replaced by the original manufacturer’s component or part. Remanufactured parts or components meeting new Product standards may be permitted by the Commissioner or Authorized User. Before installation, all proposed substitutes for the original manufacturer’s installed parts or components must be approved by the Authorized User. The part or component shall be equal to or of better quality than the original part or component being replaced.
Replacement Parts Warranty If during the regular or extended warranty period’s faults develop, the Contractor shall promptly repair or, upon demand, replace the defective unit or component part affected. All costs for labor and material and transportation incurred to repair or replace defective Product during the warranty period shall be borne solely by the Contractor, and the State or Authorized User shall in no event be liable or responsible therefor. Any part of component replaced by the Contractor under the Contract warranty shall be replaced at no cost to the Authorized User and guaranteed for the greater of: a) the warranty period under paragraph (d) above; or b) if a separate warranty for that part or component is generally offered by the manufacturer, the standard commercial warranty period offered by the manufacturer for the individual part or component.
ACCEPTANCE OF INCOMPLETE OR NON-CONFORMING DELIVERABLES If, instead of requiring immediate correction or removal and replacement of defective or non- conforming deliverables, the City prefers to accept it, the City may do so. The Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages attributable to the City’s evaluation of and determination to accept such defective or non-conforming deliverables. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, the City may deduct such amounts as are necessary to compensate the City for the diminished value of the defective or non-conforming deliverables. If the acceptance occurs after final payment, such amount will be refunded to the City by the Contractor.
