Motivazione dell’acquisto: Aggiornamento di strumentazione per il sequenziamento del DNA per rimanere operativi in programmi di ricerca a livello nazionale e internazionale, e in commesse per conto terzi;
Caratteristiche dello strumento e della fornitura richiesta: L’aggiornamento hardware e software denominato Sequel IIe al sistema PacBio Sequel in essere presso il Dipartimentoo di Biologia permette di potenziare la produzione di sequenze di DNA per singolo campione biologico processato. Trattasi di un sistema di sequenziamento di DNA di ultima generazione basato sulla tecnologia, unica e brevettata dalla Pacific Biosciences of California Inc., Zero-Mode-Waveguide (ZMW) che permette di illuminare e rivelare in tempo reale l’evento di sequenziamento del DNA che si produce al fondo di un pozzetto di dimensioni nanscopiche in cui può essere alloggiata una sola molecola di un complesso formato dal DNA da analizzare e dalla polimerasi. Questo evento è costituito dalla incorporazione della base complementare al filamento di DNA di stampo marcata in fluorescenza. I nucleotidi generano un filamento complementare di DNA del tutto naturale attraverso una rapida, precisa, ed efficace sintesi per azione della polimerasi. L’aggiornamento sostituisce il sistema fino ad ora basato su 1 milione di pozzetti nanoscopici ad un sistema con 8 milioni di pozzetti, incrementando per cui le potenzialità per la maggior parte dei gruppi di ricerca del Dipartimento di Biologia di partecipare a progetti in collaborazione nazionali ed internazionali di analisi genetica e genomica degli organismi.

Without limiting the generality of XxxXxx’x rejection of Xxxxx’x conflicting terms, any provision to the contrary in Buyer’s Terms (if applicable) shall be void and of no effect. PacBio’s title (except for Licensed Software, which is only licensed, never sold), and all risk of loss, passes to Buyer, and PacBio’s liability as to delivery ceases, upon delivery of the Products at the F.O.B./FCA point. Unless specific shipping instructions have been agreed between PacBio and Buyer, PacBio will ship in accordance with its standard practices. Any provision inBuyer’s Terms (if applicable) indicating that time is "of the essence" (or other terms of similar import) for delivery or other performance by PacBio shall be void and of no effect. Delivery of Products shall be in accordance with PacBio’s then applicable manufacturing schedule and based upon a priority of ‘ first order accepted, first order shipped’ basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PacBio, in its sole discretion, may reprioritize scheduling of any delivery or deliveries of any orders accepted by PacBio. PacBio may also, in its sole discretion, postpone delivery of a PacBio Instrument due to Buyer’s failure to provide a prepared and available installation site in accordance with PacBio’s site preparation specifications or other factors within Buyer’ reasonable control. For multiple unit and/or multiple Product orders PacBio may make delivery in installments, and each installment shall be deemed to be a separate sale. PacBio may issue a separate invoice for each installment, which invoice shall be paid without regard to prior or subsequent installments. Buyer must notify PacBio of any damaged or missing Products within fifteen (15) days after receipt. Products rejected by Xxxxx will be held by Xxxxx and may be returned only upon XxxXxx’x written authorization. PacBio shall be entitled to repair or replace damaged, missing, and/or rejected Products. These are Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies for rejected Products.
5.2 PacBio Instrument Inspection and Installation. Without limiting the preceding section, Buyer shall promptly uncrate and visually inspect any PacBio Instrument upon receipt and notify PacBio in writing of any damage to the PacBio Instrument or missing parts that Buyer notes. Buyer shall ensure that a PacBio representative is present and is permitted to supervise the uncrating and inspection of the PacBio Instrument. If Buyer fails to comply with this section, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights to claim incorrect or incomplete delivery or packaging and any related warranty rights. If PacBio has agreed to install the PacBio Instrument, it is Buyer's responsibility, at Buyer’s cost, to have the installation site prepared and available for installation (including proper configuration of Buyer’s computer network to which the PacBio Instrument will be attached) in accordance with PacBio’s site preparation specifications and free of hazardous or unsafe conditions and, unless otherwise agreed, to move the PacBio Instrument from Buyer’s delivery dock or receiving location to the place of installation. Buyer shall have appropriate Buyer personnel present at any such installation. Buyer shall not assign PacBio personnel to work in biosafety level 3 or level 4 laboratories without prior written notice to PacBio and XxxXxx’x prior written consent. Without limiting the foregoing obligations of Buyer, if PacBio has agreed to install the PacBio Instrument and Buyer fails to properly configure Buyer’s computer network to which the PacBio Instrument will be attached in accordance with PacBio’s site preparation specifications by the scheduled installation date, then PacBio may, at its option, elect to complete the installation procedure without connecting the PacBio Instrument to Buyer’s computer network. Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted any PacBio Instrument upon the earlier of (i) payment, without reservation, of any amounts with respect to the PacBio Instrument; (ii) ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of PacBio’s report evidencing successful installation of the PacBio Instrument, if PacBio has agreed to install the PacBio Instrument and provides such report to Buyer; (iii) Buyer’s use of the PacBio Instrument; or (iv) within thirty (30) days after delivery of the PacBio Instrument if PacBio has agreed to install the PacBio Instrument and is unable to perform installation due to Buyer’s failure to provide a prepared and available installation site (including proper configuration of Buyer’s computer network to which the PacBio Instrument will be attached) in accordance with PacBio’s site preparation specifications or other factors within Buyer’ reasonable control.
6. LIMITED WARRANTY. Xxxxx acknowledges and agrees that, by issuing a purchase order or otherwise ordering the Product(s) and/or related services, Xxxxx agrees (to
the exclusion of any contrary terms or conditions in Buyer’s Terms, if applicable) that PacBio makes only such warranty with respect to each such Product or service as is expressly identified as a "warranty" and listed at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx/.
7. PACBIO INSTRUMENT SUPPORT; LIMITED SERVICE WARRANTY
7.1 Service and Maintenance. During the Warranty Period for a PacBio RS/RS II or Sequel sequencing instrument purchased by Xxxxx from PacBio hereunder, PacBio will provide its standard level of service and maintenance for such PacBio Instrument (equivalent to PacBio’s "Standard" level Service Contract) at no additional charge to Buyer. After the Warranty Period, PacBio may offer to provide extended service and maintenance for such PacBio Instrument pursuant to separate written service contracts that may be purchased by Buyer from PacBio. Extended service and maintenance for any third party computing system must be obtained by Buyer directly from the original manufacturer.
7.2 Service Contracts. If Buyer has purchased a separate written service contract from PacBio for a PacBio Instrument (a "Service Contract"), the Quotation and the applicable, then-current Documentation for such Service Contract describe its level and features, including (as applicable) minimum response times and the number of preventative maintenance visits per year. During the Service Contract term, PacBio or its designee will provide the services described in the Service Contract (the "Covered Services"). Maintenance, repairs and replacements may be accomplished under the Service Contract with reconditioned or refurbished Products, parts or subassemblies. Any updates or upgrades to the Licensed Software, when delivered, shall become part of the Licensed Software and shall be subject to the same end user license agreement(s), notices, terms, conditions and use restrictions unless otherwise expressly stated in writing by PacBio. Covered Services exclude hardware upgrades for feature enhancements. Service Contracts may not be transferred or assigned without PacBio’s prior written consent.
7.3 Remote Support. Certain Service Contract levels and/or features require the use of PacBio’s RS or Sequel Insight (as applicable) service feature, which includes remote communication software that allows a PacBio authorized agent to remotely communicate with the PacBio RS/RSII or Sequel/Sequel II sequencing instrument, purchased by
Sales T&C (01132020)
Buyer, through user-controlled, customizable permission settings. The RS/Sequel Insight service feature is used by PacBio for diagnostics, maintenance and repair of the PacBio RS/RSII or Sequel/Sequel II instrument hardware and software components, and may allow for faster response times if Buyer purchases a Service Contract that includes the RS/Sequel Insight service feature and abides by the configuration requirements specified by PacBio. By purchasing a Service Contract that includes the RS/Sequel Insight service feature, Xxxxx agrees to enable PacBio to provide the Covered Services as specified in the Service Contract.Buyer furthermore acknowledges that any faster response times will be honored by PacBio only if proper internet connectivity has been established by Buyer and the software included with the RS/Sequel Insight service feature is configured to, and Buyer actually does, permit PacBio throughout the term of the Service Contract (with at least the frequency, if any, specified by PacBio for each such activity) to establish secure sessions and connect to the PacBio Instrument covered by such Service Contract for the (i) transmission and retrieval of instrument performance data files and environmental data values, (ii) utilization of event and alarm functionality, and (iii) implementation of remote software updates and software file transfers. If Buyer has purchased a Service Contract that includes the RS/Sequel Insight service feature and has not properly configured such feature (in accordance with the foregoing) within twelve (12) months after the PacBio Instrument installation, or if Buyer disables the RS/Sequel Insight feature during the Service Contract period, then PacBio reserves the right to charge Buyer (in which case, Buyer shall pay to PacBio) the difference between the amount paid by Buyer for such Service Contract and PacBio's then-current price for a comparable Service Contract that does not include the RS/Sequel Insight service feature.
7.4 Service Limitations. Xxxxx agrees to follow the operation procedures published by PacBio, including procedures for routine maintenance. PacBio shall have no obligation to provide any service or parts required as a result of (i) failure of Buyer to maintain a software release level within one major release of the most current O/S Software release made available by PacBio to Buyer at no additional charge, (ii) improper or abnormal use, abuse, neglect, negligence, accident, including without limitation failure to properly perform routine maintenance and maintain the PacBio Instrument site in accordance withPacBio’s site requirements or the use of the PacBio Instrument with any non-PacBio product (except as may be specifically recommended, with respect to standard laboratory reagents, tools and equipment ancillary to use of the Product, in the then-current Documentation for that Product); (iii) repairs, alterations, disassembly, reassembly or removal from Buyer’s facility by persons other than PacBio or its designee, other than repair or replacement of a third-party good by an authorized service provider; or (iv) externally caused short circuits, incorrect voltages, failure or fluctuation of electrical power, lightning, static or other improper external inputs, or Force Majeure. Buyer shall reimburse PacBio at PacBio’s then-current service call fees, including all labor, parts and travel charges, for all work of PacBio or its designee incurred in investigating or remedying any damage or malfunction that PacBio reasonably determines to not be part of the Covered Services.
7.5 Non-Covered Equipment. Any and all instruments, software and other products, and any parts or subassemblies of the foregoing, that are not provided by PacBio or its designee, as well as any external uninterruptible power supply (UPS), shall be deemed "Non-Covered Equipment." PacBio shall have no obligation to provide Covered Services for Non-Covered Equipment; moreover, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, PacBio shall have no obligation to provide Covered Services in connection with any PacBio Instrument, part or subassembly: (i) that has been substantially altered (other than by PacBio or its designee), including any alteration or removal of any serial numbers or other identifying markings; (ii) that does not incorporate all of PacBio’s engineering improvements and other fixes that PacBio requests Buyer to implement; (iii) that incorporates Non-Covered Equipment or has Non-Covered Equipment attached; (iv) that has been operated in conditions outside of PacBio’s environmental or electrical site specifications, as defined in the applicable, then-current Documentation; (v) that has been operated in hazardous environments or used to analyze hazardous materials that may cause residual contamination; or (vi) that has been repaired or maintained by anyone other than PacBio or its designee, except such routine maintenance as set forth in the applicable, then-current Documentation. PacBio Instruments that are no longer offered for sale by PacBio ("Obsoleted Items") will be maintained and repaired on a reasonable efforts basis by PacBio while covered by a Service Contract. If PacBio determines in its discretion that support, service or maintenance of such Obsoleted Items is no longer reasonable, PacBio shall notify Buyer of such determination and such Obsoleted Item shall be deemed Non-Covered Equipment.
7.6 Billable Services. All services performed by PacBio or its designee on Buyer’s Non-Covered Equipment or which are not Covered Services shall be billable to Buyer at
PacBio’s then-current service call fees, including all labor, parts and travel charges.
7.7 Access and Service Safety. Buyer will provide PacBio and its designees reasonable and safe access to all PacBio Instruments for the provision of any services and for any audit of compliance with PacBio’s installation and operational guidelines. If environmental or operational contamination creates a hazard for PacBio personnel, PacBio may instead elect to supervise Buyer’s performance of service procedures. Xxxxx is responsible for proper disposal of all contaminated material and of contaminated parts and subassemblies that, in PacBio’s discretion, cannot be safely returned to PacBio. Any services that PacBio or its designee may provide in connection with the activities contemplated by this paragraph shall be deemed to not be Covered Services, and Xxxxx shall reimburse PacBio at PacBio’s then-current service call fees, including all labor, parts and travel charges, for all such work of PacBio or its designee.
7.8 PacBio Instrument Relocation. If any PacBio Instrument is moved from its installation position, PacBio may, at its discretion, determine that such PacBio Instrument has been relocated (a "Relocation"). Relocation of PacBio Instruments may result in service charges as follows: (i) Approved Relocation. Relocation of PacBio Instruments by PacBio or its designees is permitted. PacBio Instruments may be moved with the assistance of PacBio atPacBio’s service call fees, including all labor, parts and travel charges. With prior written approval of PacBio, Buyer may move specified PacBio Instruments without incurring any charges. Buyer will contact PacBio prior to moving any PacBio Instrument. (b) Unapproved Relocation. Any service contract or warranty covering a PacBio Instrument shall be rendered void and unenforceable by Relocation of such PacBio Instrument without the prior written approval of PacBio. At the discretion of PacBio, upon completion of a maintenance inspection and service at PacBio’s then-current service call fees, including all labor, parts and travel charges, the subject service contract or warranty may be reinstated. (c) New Site Location. Relocation of PacBio Instruments may result in additional service charges and modification of response times, as determined by PacBio.
7.9 Ownership. All replaced parts removed from the PacBio Instrument in connection with any services provided by PacBio or its designee shall become the property of
PacBio upon their replacement. All intellectual property rights arising from any modifications made or provided by PacBio or its designee, whether alone or with any contribution from Buyer or its employees, agents, contractors or collaborators, to the PacBio Instrument shall be owned exclusively by PacBio. To the extent Buyer or its employees, agents, contractors or collaborators may acquire any right or interest therein by operation of law, Buyer hereby irrevocably assigns all such rights and interests exclusively to PacBio. Buyer shall maintain and enforce agreements and policies with its employees, agents, contractors and collaborators sufficient to give effect to the provisions of this section.
7.10 Limited Service Warranty. PacBio warrants that it will render the Covered Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. AsPacBio’s sole responsibility and Xxxxx’x exclusive remedy in the event of any material failure to meet such standard, PacBio shall make a commercially reasonable effort to remedy any resulting discrepancies. Any claim based on the foregoing warranty must be submitted in writing in accordance with PacBio’s standard procedures within thirty (30) days after delivery or the date of performance of the pertinent services at issue.
7.11 Term and Termination. The term of a Service Contract shall commence on the date PacBio receives an authorized purchase order from Buyer, and continue as specified in the applicable Quotation describing the Service Contract or, if no such term is specified, the term shall be one year. Service Contracts shall not be automatically renewed. If
Buyer wishes to obtain Covered Services for a PacBio Instrument beyond the term of the Service Contract or for additional PacBio Instruments, Buyer must submit a new order. PacBio may terminate a Service Contract immediately by giving written notice of termination to Buyer upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) Buyer defaults in the performance of any material requirement or obligation created by the Service Contract or any other agreement between PacBio and Buyer; (ii) Buyer fails to make any payment to PacBio within (30) days of its due date; (iii) Buyer ceases doing business; (iv) Buyer becomes the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding, becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is unable to pay its debts when due, a receiver is appointed for a substantial part of Buyer's assets, or an action is taken toward the liquidation or winding up of Buyer’s business; or (v) Buyer suffers a materially adverse change in its financial condition or operations. No termination of a Service Contract shall release Buyer from any obligation to pay PacBio any amount that has accrued or become payable at or prior to the date of termination. In no event (including early termination) shall PacBio be obligated to return any payments received by PacBio under a Service Contract.
