If Supplier has delayed shipment of all or any Goods for more than twenty (20) days after the Requested Delivery Date and if such delay is not due to any action or inaction of Buyer or otherwise excused in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer may, as its sole remedy therefor, cancel the portion of the related Purchase Order covering the delayed Goods by giving Supplier written Notice within three (3) days of the Requested Delivery Date. Subject to Buyer’s rights under this Section 4.4, no delay in the shipment or delivery of any Good relieves Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement, including accepting delivery of any remaining installment or other orders of Goods.

All defects and nonconformities that are not so specified will be deemed waived by Buyer, such Goods shall be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer, and no attempted revocation of acceptance will be effective. If Buyer timely notifies Supplier of any Nonconforming Goods, Supplier shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether the Goods are Nonconforming Goods. If Supplier determines that such Goods are Nonconforming Goods, Supplier shall, in its sole discretion, either:
(a)replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods; or

Such information, whether orally or in written, electronic or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential,” is collectively referred to as “Confidential Information” hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that at the time of disclosure and as established by documentary evidence:

13.7 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
13.8Severability.

13.11 Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive, and the exercise by either Party of any right or remedy does not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies that may now or subsequently be available at law, in equity, by statute, in any other agreement between the Parties or otherwise. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Parties intend that Xxxxx’s rights under Section 4.4, Section 4.6, Section 8.5, and each of the Parties’ rights under Section 9 are such Party’s exclusive remedies for the events specified therein.
13.12 Equitable Remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 12 would give rise to irreparable harm to the other Party for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and (b) in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Party of any such obligations, the other Party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to such Party at law, at equity or otherwise in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, and without any requirement to prove actual damages or that monetary damages will not afford an adequate remedy.

13.13 Assignment. Buyer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Supplier.

16 |
13.16 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof (each, a “Dispute"), shall be submitted for negotiation and resolution to the authorized signatory for each Party, by delivery of written Notice (each, a “Dispute Notice") from either of the Parties to the other Party. Such persons shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the applicable Dispute Notice, either Party may file suit in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions hereunder.
13.17 Governing Law.

Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agrees to bring any such action, litigation or proceeding only in the Central District of California or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the courts of the State of California sitting in Los Angeles County. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Xxx.

No Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any obligations of Buyer to make payments to Supplier hereunder), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the impacted party’s ("Impacted Party") reasonable control, including, without limitation, the following force majeure events ("Force Majeure Event(s)"): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order, law, or actions; (e) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) national or regional emergency; and (i) other similar events beyond the reasonable control of the Impacted Party.

The Impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. The Impacted Party shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that the Impacted Party’s failure or delay remains uncured for a period of ten (10) consecutive days following written notice given by it under this Section 17.21, the other Party may thereafter terminate this Agreement upon three (3) days’ written notice.

Presence of female flowers according to DAB-Monograph “Cannabis flos” Identity test A:
The female blossoms are either whole or have fallen into individual pieces.

The light brown to brown pistil and cicatrices are together up to 1 cm in length. The tepals are green to light green and, like the bracts, densely covered in yellow-white hairs and covered in resin. The crumbled drug contains fragments of the peduncles, bracts and panicle segments as well as individual flowers and floral organs. The individual flowers are approximately 5 to 10 mm in length, sometimes with short petioles, and consist of a hood-like, green to light green tepal, the female ovaries of 1 to 2 mm in size, which may contain a small brown ovule, and a brown pistil with 2 long, thin cicatrices. The bract fragments are dark green to green, the peduncles light green.
