10. Custom Products.
10.1 When you ask us to manufacture a custom product, we may decline the design or manufacture of such custom product, at any stage of the design or manufacture process, if the custom product is unsuitable or commercially impractical to be synthesized in that way.

11. Intellectual Property.
11.1 You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights relating to our products and services, as between you and us, are solely and exclusively owned by us. Our sale of products to you only grants you a limited, non-transferable right, for only you to use the quantity of the products that you have bought from us in accordance with the Contract. When we sell products to you, we do not grant you a license to our intellectual property, whether express, implied, by estoppel or otherwise, or grant you the right to make or have made any product or to use the product beyond the scope of the Supplemental Terms. Nothing in the Contract limits our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights.
11.2 In relation to processes, methods or related synthesis of a custom product, or otherwise in connection with the design or manufacture of a custom product, any inventions (patentable or otherwise), discoveries, improvements, data, know-how or other results that are conceived, developed, discovered, reduced to practice, or generated by or for us, or jointly by us and you, will be and will remain our sole and exclusive intellectual property, and you transfer and assign all of your right, title and interest in and to any such joint intellectual property to us and assist us, at our request and at our expense, in securing and recording our rights in such intellectual property.
12. Intellectual Property Indemnity.
12.1. Our Indemnity of You. We will defend and indemnify you from and against infringement damages finally awarded in any legal action brought by a third party against you to the extent that the action is based on a claim that our manufacture and sale of a product infringes any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right of such third party if we had actual knowledge of such intellectual property right and the actual infringement at the time of delivery of the product to you. This indemnity does not apply to products that we made, assembled or labeled in reliance upon your instructions, specifications, or other directions, or to claims based on your use or resale of products, or to modifications made by you or any third party. This indemnity does not apply to products originating from third parties. THIS INDEMNITY IS OUR ONLY LIABILITY TO YOU, AND YOUR ONLY REMEDY, FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIMED INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCT. As a condition to this indemnity, you must (i) notify us in writing, as soon as you become aware of any claim; (ii) not admit any liability or take any other action in connection with the claim that could affect the defense; (iii) allow us to solely control the defense or settlement of the claim; and (iv) give us your reasonable information, co-operation and assistance.
12.2 Your Indemnity of Us. If a third party makes a claim against us for infringement of its intellectual property rights based on our manufacture or sale of a product we make under your instructions, specifications, directions, installation, assembly or using materials you provide to us, or based on your modification, use or resale of a product, then you will indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of defending and/or settling any action) that we may have to pay as a result of the claim.
12.3 Avoidance. We wish to avoid claims of intellectual property infringement. If we believe a product may be subject to a claim for intellectual property infringement, then you will allow us, at our option and expense, to either: (a) secure for you the right to continue using the product; (b) substitute the product with another suitable product with similar functionality; or (c) require you to return the product to us for a refund of the purchase price you paid. In the case of instruments, we will deduct a reasonable amount for the instrument’s use, damage and obsolescence.
13. Limitations of Liability.
12.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND) FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWSOEVER CAUSED, (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COSTS OF COVER, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOSS OF REVENUE) THAT YOU MIGHT INCUR UNDER THE CONTRACT, OR THAT MAY ARISE FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAD NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
