Dispute
Resolution and Arbitration - Buyer and Seller agree to arbitrate all
disputes, claims or controversies whether based on contract, tort,
statute, or any other legal or equitable theory, arising out of or
relating to (a) this Agreement or the relationship which results from this
Agreement, (b) the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement, (c)
the purchase or supply of any product, service, or information provided by
Seller, (d) events leading up to the formation of Buyer's and Seller's
relationship, and (e) any issue related to the creation of this Agreement
or its scope, including the scope and validity of this
paragraph. The
parties shall before and as a condition
to proceeding to arbitration attempt in good faith to resolve any such
claim or controversy by mediation under the International Institute for
Conflict Prevention & Resolution ("CPR") Mediation Procedure then
currently in effect. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediator will
be selected from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. Any such claim
or controversy which remains unresolved 60 days after the appointment of a
mediator or 60 days after good faith efforts by either party to proceed to
mediation shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance
with the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration then currently in
effect by three independent and impartial arbitrators, none of whom shall
be appointed by either party. This Agreement shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, to the exclusion of any
state laws inconsistent therewith. Such arbitration shall be conducted in
a city to be chosen by the arbitrators which is not the principal place of
business of either party, and the arbitrators and the parties shall
conduct such arbitration in accordance with such procedures as may be
necessary to permit use of the then current CPR Arbitration Appeal
Procedure. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may
be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event that
either
party wishes to appeal an award, the parties shall follow the then current
CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure. Buyer and Seller agree not to file or
join any class action or class arbitration, seek or consent to
class relief, or seek or consent to the consolidation or joinder of its
claims with those of any third party. If any clause within this
Arbitration Provision (other than the agreement regarding the conduct of
the arbitration in the preceding sentence) is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration
Provision, and the remainder of the Arbitration Provision will be given
full force and effect. If such agreement regarding the conduct of the
arbitration is found to be illegal or unenforceable and if the arbitrators
permit a class arbitration or consolidated or joined matter to proceed,
this entire Arbitration Provision will be unenforceable, and the dispute
may be decided by a court. The obligations set forth in this paragraph
shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
|
12.
|
In
addition to these Standard Conditions of Sale, any Special Conditions of
Sale set forth on this invoice or in the current price list for the
products or services sold hereunder shall apply and are incorporated by
reference. Unless otherwise specified therein, title, liability for and
risk of loss to Product sold hereunder passes to Buyer upon loading for
shipment at Seller's producing
location.
|
13.
|
This
Agreement shall be construed and governed by Delaware law, without regard
to any applicable conflicts of law provisions, and the terms of the UCC,
rather than the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods, shall
apply.
|
14.
|
Except
as expressly provided in any other term or condition of this Agreement,
any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of
such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
|
15.
|
This
Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, representations and
understandings between the parties (whether written or oral) with respect
to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the exhibits and
schedules attached hereto) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms
of the agreement between the parties with respect to the provision of
products or services hereunder. Not by way of limitation of the
unqualified nature of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges, agrees and
represents that it is not relying upon, and it has not been induced by,
any representation, warranty, statement made by, or other
information provided by Seller in connection with its decision to purchase
or use any product, service, information or technology, other than the
representations and warranties Seller as and only to the extent expressly
provided in this Agreement. No modification of this Agreement shall be
binding upon Seller unless separately contracted in writing and executed
by a duly authorized representative of Seller. No modification shall be
effected by the acknowledgment or acceptance of purchase order forms
stipulating different conditions. Unless Buyer shall notify Seller in
writing to the contrary as soon as practicable after receipt of this
invoice by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the terms and
conditions hereof and, in the absence of such notification, Buyer's
acceptance or use of the products, services, information or technology
shall be equivalent to Buyer's assent to the terms and conditions
hereof.
