Common use of SAMPLING BYPRODUCTS Clause in Contracts

SAMPLING BYPRODUCTS. All substances on, in, or beneath the Client’s site identified in the Agreement, or obtained from the site as samples or as byproducts of the sampling process are, and shall remain, the Client’s property. Any samples or byproducts of the sampling process that are, or are assumed to be regulated contaminants, or in ARRO’s opinion, may be affected by a regulated contaminant, will be packaged in accordance with applicable law and these materials will be promptly turned over to the Client and the Client will be responsible for legal disposal of them. ARRO shall not have any responsibility under this Agreement to arrange for disposal, or dispose, of materials that are, or are suspected to be, affected by regulated contaminants. Client shall sign all manifests for the disposal of regulated contaminants or suspected regulated contaminants. ARRO will not, under any circumstances, be considered a generator, transporter, or disposer of the materials affected by regulated contaminants. Because involvement with the Client’s contaminated samples can expose ARRO to considerable risks, Client agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to waive any claim against ARRO and agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold ARRO harmless from any damage, claim, liability, or cost, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense, for injury or loss which may arise out of or result from ARRO containing, labeling, transporting, testing, temporarily storing, and other handling of the Client’s contaminated samples or performance of services under this Agreement or related in any manner whatsoever to the existence, identification, release or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances, except those damages, liabilities or costs arising directly from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of ARRO.
