Product Orders All Product orders shall be submitted by the Operators to DISTRIBUTOR and shall specify the location of the Operator’s Stores, the type of Product, and the quantity desired. Operators may place orders electronically (“Electronic Orders”) or by faxing DISTRIBUTOR’s customer service center in accordance with the guidelines detailed below. DISTRIBUTOR will also accept telephone orders on a very limited exception basis for those Operators approved in writing by the COMPANY. All shipment expenses from DISTRIBUTOR’s distribution center to the Operator’s location shall be at DISTRIBUTOR’s expense unless otherwise noted elsewhere in this Agreement. Product order guides will be provided by DISTRIBUTOR to the Operators monthly via DISTRIBUTOR’s website or email if so requested by Operator and, on a limited exception basis approved in writing by the COMPANY, with a hard copy mailed to the affected Store, with availability of such order guides to be made prior to the beginning of the month, but only after review and approval of the order guide by COMPANY. The order guides will be organized by Product categories and will include, among other things, the Product Sell Price (as defined herein), Product units and new Products. DISTRIBUTOR will assign one product code number to each stock-keeping unit (“SKU”) of each Product, which will be common throughout its entire distribution system and will be used on all documents such as order guides, invoices, monthly reports, etc. SKU’s, and, accordingly, the assigned product code number, must differ for equivalent Products supplied by different suppliers. Only Products approved for sale to its Operators by the COMPANY will be listed on this order guide. Electronic Orders will be placed via telephone modem or internet using DISTRIBUTOR’s automated order entry system. All orders are subject to the standard order cut-off time of 4:00 p.m. Pacific time, two (2) days prior to their scheduled delivery day, with the exception of Stores located in the States of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, which must be submitted three (3) days prior to their scheduled delivery day. Operators will be notified prior to the time of final order cut-off if a product is expected to be out of stock so that an alternative may be ordered, subject to the provisions of Section 3.02. Operators will have until 5:00 p.m, one (1) day before their order shipping day to modify or add-on to their order (Saturday at 5:00 p.m. for Stores whose deliveries will leave DISTRIBUTOR’s facility on Monday). Where reasonably possible, DISTRIBUTOR will schedule ordering days and delivery days that are mutually agreed upon by and between DISTRIBUTOR and each Operator and will provide notice to the affected Operator of at least fourteen (14) days before routing changes. Except for deliveries to the states of Washington, Oregonand Idaho, wherever reasonably possible and unless approved in advance by the COMPANY, DISTRIBUTOR will include no more than one “skip day” between the date of order and date of delivery (Sunday is not counted as a skip day). For example, orders scheduled for delivery on Wednesday will be placed no earlier than Monday. Orders scheduled for delivery on Monday will be placed on Friday. In the event DISTRIBUTOR must include more than one “skip day” between the date of order and date of delivery it will notify COMPANY in advance and obtain COMPANY’s approval. In no event will there ever be more than two “skip days” permitted. DISTRIBUTOR may schedule deliveries on any day of the week. On an exception basis, DISTRIBUTOR will consider shortening the permissible time frames for scheduled deliveries for those Operators that, given unique and compelling business needs, require the same. Operator will be notified of any Product shortages at the time of order placement or, in the case of an Electronic Order, one (1) day prior to the loading of the delivery truck.
Field Order A written order issued by Engineer which requires minor changes in the Work but does not change the Construction Contract Price or the Construction Contract Times.
Purchase Orders Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Commissioner, no Product is to be delivered or furnished by Contractor until transmittal of an official Purchase Order from the Authorized User. Unless terminated or cancelled pursuant to the authority vested in the Commissioner, Purchase Orders shall be effective and binding upon the Contractor when placed in the mail or electronically transmitted prior to the termination of the contract period, addressed to the Contractor at the address for receipt of orders set forth in the Contract or in the Contract Award Notification. All Purchase Orders issued pursuant to Contracts let by the Commissioner must bear the appropriate Contract number and, if necessary, required State approvals. As deemed necessary, the Authorized User may confirm pricing and other Product information with the Contractor prior to placement of the Purchase Order. The State reserves the right to require any other information from the Contractor which the State deems necessary in order to complete any Purchase Order placed under the Contract. Unless otherwise specified, all Purchase Orders against Centralized Contracts will be placed by Authorized Users directly with the Contractor and any discrepancy between the terms stated on the vendor’s order form, confirmation or acknowledgment, and the Contract terms shall be resolved in favor of the terms most favorable to the Authorized User. Should an Authorized User add written terms and conditions to the Purchase Order that conflict with the terms and conditions of the Contract, the Contractor has the option of rejecting the Purchase Order within five business days of its receipt but shall first attempt to negotiate the additional written terms and conditions in good faith with the Authorized User, or fulfill the Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the above, the Authorized User reserves the right to dispute any discrepancies arising from the presentation of additional terms and conditions with the Contractor. If, with respect to an Agency Specific Contract let by the OGS Commissioner, a Purchase Order is not received by the Contractor within two weeks after the issuance of a Contract Award Notification, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to request in writing that the appropriate Authorized User forward a Purchase Order. If, thereafter, a Purchase Order is not received within a reasonable period of time, the Contractor shall promptly notify in writing the appropriate purchasing officer in OGS. Failure to timely notify such officer may, in the discretion of the OGS Commissioner and without cost to the State, result in the cancellation of such requirement by the OGS Commissioner with a corresponding reduction in the Contract quantity and price.
Product Recalls (a) If either Party reasonably decides or is required by any government authority or court of competent jurisdiction, to initiate a product recall, withdrawal or field correction with respect to, or if there is any governmental seizure of, the Product, the Party initiating or required to initiate such action will notify the other Party promptly of the details regarding such action, including providing copies of all relevant documentation concerning such action. The Parties will assist each other in investigating any such situation and all regulatory contacts that are made and all activities concerning seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction will be jointly coordinated by HSL and LMI.
(b) If any such recall, withdrawal, field correction or seizure occurs due solely to (i) failure of any Product produced by HSL hereunder to conform to Specifications (including, without limitation, being adulterated or misbranded) or any warranty or other requirement set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the failure of HSL to comply in all material respects with any applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline, standard, court order or decree or (iii) the negligent or intentional wrongful act or omission of HSL in connection with the production of Product hereunder, then HSL shall bear the **** of any such seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction and shall reimburse LMI for its ****, including any purchase price payments made to HSL and related taxes to the extent related to such recalled Product. To the extent any such recall, withdrawal, field correction or seizure occurs for any reason other than that set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then LMI shall bear the **** of any such seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction. If both HSL and LMI contribute to the cause of a seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction, the cost and expense thereof will be shared in proportion to each Party’s contribution to the problem. For the purposes of this Agreement, the expenses of any recall, withdrawal, field correction or seizure shall include, without limitation, the out-of-pocket expenses of notification and destruction or return of the recalled Product and all other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such recall but shall not include a Party’s lost profits. HSL’s reimbursement for the costs of LMI Materials related to such recall, withdrawal or field correction is limited by Section 5.6(c).
