i. promptly repair, replace or reperform the rejected Deliverable; or
ii. refund the price of the rejected Deliverable. Company’s acceptance of a Deliverable does not release Supplier of its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Order.

Unless expressly agreed to in an Order, prices are fixed and will not be indexed, updated or adjusted for variations in costs of any kind and include, and Supplier will be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred or that could be assessed by Supplier in providing the Deliverables, including VAT and other taxes, permitting, obtaining rights from third parties, and shipping.

Payment will be made in the currency specified in this Agreement. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, either party reserves the right at any time to set-off any amount owed by the other party against any amount owed to the other party.
