If specified in the Master Product Specification Sheets (“MPSS”), some starting materials may be accepted and released by Supplier utilizing the Certificate of Analysis (“CofA”) with abbreviated or no additional testing. |
Company shall have the right to inspect finished Beverages and designate the facility to test the Beverages. If Supplier performs some or all the inspection and testing, Supplier will provide to Company a CofA and any other associated inspection and testing documentation for each batch (lot) of Beverages manufactured.

Company shall have the right to approve, in its discretion, any significant changes prior to implementation by Supplier. |
10 |
7. | Notification and Approval of Deviations. When there is a significant deviation from stated procedures or stated specifications, Supplier must notify Company within 2 working days from time of discovery. A significant deviation is defined as any Out-Of-Specification (“OOS”) result and/or any manufacturing, bulk packaging, bulk labeling, or testing deviation that may affect the quality, safety, or efficacy of the Beverages. Reprocessing will be considered a significant deviation. All deviations will be investigated and fully documented by Supplier. This documentation will be retained as part of the batch documentation for the batch (lot) affected. When deemed necessary, Company reserves the right to request additional or more in-depth investigation of the deviation by Supplier. In all cases when a significant deviation occurs on a batch, Company will have the final review and decision-making responsibility as to the impact of the deviations on the Beverages, which will include the disposition of the affected batches (lots). |
8. | Stability Activities. Company will have the right to set forth commercially reasonable standards and requirements for stability testing, data interpretation, reporting, and updating stability information to regulatory documents for the subject Beverages.

Upon the request by Company, Supplier will investigate the complaints as required and provide a written report on the results of the investigation to Company within 30 days, or sooner if required by Company. Company reserves the right to delegate any or all the parts of the complaint handling process Company normally handles (i.e., receipt, communication with the customer and closure of complaints) to Supplier on a product-by-product basis. |
12. | Recall of the Marketed Beverages. If a recall, withdrawal, or field correction of the subject Beverages is required because the product violates applicable laws, regulations, agreed upon specifications, or is deemed unacceptable for some other reason, whether such action is requested by any governmental agency, the initiating party shall notify the head of Quality Assurance of the other party. In the process of a recall, withdrawal, or field correction, the parties shall fully cooperate in notifying customers and conducting the necessary activities. If a recall is initiated due to a defect arising from a failure attributable to negligence or oversight by Supplier, then Supplier will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company from any and all costs, expenses, damages or liabilities of any kind arising out of, or associated with, the recall. If the recall is due to a hemp-derived ingredient issue, the Company will bear the responsibility of the recall. |
13. | Audits and Inspections of Facilities and Beverages. Supplier will notify Company of any inspections or actions by regulatory agencies or other enforcement bodies, which could potentially impact Company’ Beverages. Supplier will provide Company with the results of all such regulatory audits in within 7 days.
