LIMITATION OF WARRANTY; INDEMNIFICATION
4.1 Manufacturer warrants its authority to convey title to the Products
sold under this Agreement, and that the transfer of it to Buyer shall be
rightful; provided, however, that Manufacturer does not warrant that the
Products sold under this Agreement are delivered free of any claim by any person
in the nature of infringement or the like. Manufacturer will provide each End
User that purchased the Products from Buyer with a limited warranty, including
labor and parts, for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipping. As used
in this Section 4.1, the term End User shall mean a customer that acquires the
Products from Buyer for its own personal or business use and not for
re-marketing. It is expressly agreed and understood that Manu-facturer's sole
obligation and Buyer's exclusive remedy under this warranty is Manufacturer's
replacing defective products F.O.B. Manufacturer's plant. Manufacturer shall in
no event be responsible for incidental or consequential damage, whether
foreseeable or not, caused by defects in the products sold under this agreement.
Claims under this warranty must be made in writing immediately after the defect
is discovered, and all such claims are subject to substantiation by
Manufacturer. Manufacturer may require the return of alleged defective goods,
transportation prepaid, to establish a claim under this warranty. If Buyer makes
any warranty or representation inconsistent with or in addition to the warranty
stated above, Buyer shall, at its own expense, defend and hold Manufacturer
harmless from any claim on it of any nature.
MANUFACTURER'S LIMITED WARRANTY TO END USERS IS THE ONLY WARRANTY
APPLICABLE TO PRODUCTS SOLD TO BUYER HEREUNDER. MANUFACTURER MAKES NO OTHER
WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER TO BUYER OR BUYER'S CUSTOMERS, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF
TRADE. MANUFACTURER'S LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NOT BE EXTENDED, ALTERED OR VARIED
EXCEPT BY WRITTEN INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY MANUFACTURER.
4.2 In performing its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer agrees
not to make any representations or give any warranties or guarantees to any
person with respect to the Products or related services, other than those
representations, warranties, or guarantees that Manufacturer has specifically
authorized in writing to be given to that person.
4.3 Throughout the term of this Agreement, Buyer and Manufacturer agree
that each party is solely responsible for the performance of its duties, and
Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Manufacturer harmless from and against any
and all claims asserted against Manufacturer for loss or damage to property,
including claims for economic and business injury, to persons or firms and all
injury or death to third persons, including all expenses incident to any of the
foregoing claims, in any way arising out of or relating to the conduct of
Buyer's business and Buyer's performance under this Agreement. Buyer further
agrees to defend Manufacturer and its agents and employees from and against any
claim, demand, cause of action, damage, loss, cost, or expense arising from or
in connection with its actions or failures to act. Neither party may take any
action that would have the effect of causing the other to be in violation of any
laws, decrees, rules or regulations in effect in the Territory.

indemnify and hold Manufacturer harmless from any and all claims asserted
against Manufacturer by Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Vestibular Technologies, Inc., or any

RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES; TRADEMARKS
5.1 It is agreed that each of the parties is and will remain an
independent contractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement is to be
construed to constitute either party as a partner, agent, or employee of the
other. The authority of Buyer is limited to the sale of Manufacturer's Products
and the performance of other functions as set forth in this Agreement. In
Buyer's dealings with third parties, Buyer must not hold itself out as a
partner, agent, or employee of Manufacturer. Neither party has authority to make
any agreement or incur any liability on behalf of the other party, nor is either
party liable for any acts, omissions to act, contracts, commit- ments, promises,
or representations made by the other, except as specifically authorized in this
Agreement or as the parties may otherwise agree. Buyer agrees to indemnify and
hold Manufacturer harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, and
damages arising out of breach of this provision by, or otherwise attributable to
any act or omission of, Buyer, its agents, or employees. All deliveries of
Products covered by this Agreement shall constitute sales made directly by
Buyer. All re-sales by Buyer shall be on its own account and Buyer will assume
all credit risks and the responsibility of collecting from its customers. No
compensation or other payments will be due to Buyer for any of its services
hereunder other than the profit it may realize from the resale of the Products.
5.2 Buyer recognizes the sole ownership by Manufacturer of
Manufacturer's Products' trademarks, trade names, and service marks, and nothing
contained herein shall be considered as giving Buyer any rights in connection
with such trademarks, trade names, and service marks or any product produced,
imported, and distributed by Manufacturer of the Products or any advertising and
promotion materials adopting or using such marks and names other than as
previously provided. From time to time hereafter, Manufacturer may adopt and
publish to Buyer certain uniform written standards, specifications,
requirements, conditions, instructions, procedures and policies pertaining to
such trademarks, trade names, and service marks and maintenance of their quality
and quality-service images, with which Buyer agrees to promptly and strictly
comply.

associated with or similar to any trademark, trade name, or service xxxx or

TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION
6.1 If Manufacturer determines, at any time, that some unavoidable
occurrence will prevent the continuing production of the Products at the rate
specified in this Agreement, Manufacturer shall immediately notify Buyer of that
fact and state its best estimate of the reduced schedule and the projected date
on which production will be resumed at the previous rate. If the estimated rate
of production falls below fifty (50%) percent and continues for a period of
three (3) months, Buyer may, at its option and without liability, notify
Manufacturer in writing of its decision to terminate this Agreement. If the
reduced production is due to the neglect or fault of the Manufacturer,
termination of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of any damages for
breach or of any other right or remedy. If Manufacturer is not negligent or at
fault, and notifies Buyer in writing as soon as it discovers the circumstances
necessitating a reduced production rate, the termination of this Agreement shall
not entitled Buyer to any damages.
6.2 Manufacturer may cancel this Agreement without prior notice, by
notifying Buyer of its election to do so:

Agreement;

the sale of Manufacturer's products or knowingly combines with, aids, or assists
anyone to violate any such statute or regulation;
(c) if Buyer becomes insolvent;
(d) if Buyer is adjudicated bankrupt;
(e) if Buyer admits in writing its insolvency or inability to
pay its debts or perform its obligations in the ordinary course of business as
they mature; or
(f) if Buyer becomes the subject of any voluntary or
involuntary proceeding in bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, receivership,
attachment or composition or general assignment for the benefit of creditors.
