In no event shall Netafim's liability exceed the purchase price of the Netafim tm products. LIMITED WARRANTY Netafim cannot and does not assume liability for defective parts, or damage caused by products not manufactured or supplied by Netafim, even though such products may be used in conjunction with Netafim™ products and the customer assumes risk of use of such third party products." | "7.1. In the event of a shortcoming on the part of Wavin, the Customer must give Wavin written notice of default, giving Wavin a reasonable period of time (in which case a period of less than fourteen (14) days of the date of receipt of the written default notice is never reasonable) to deliver the relevant Performances in accordance with the Agreement. If Wavin exceeds this reasonable period, the Customer is entitled to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part, but only with regard to that part of the Performance in respect of which Wavin has failed. 7.2. Wavin is only liable for direct damage after it has been given notice of default in accordance with the preceding paragraph. Regardless of the nature of any claim, it is never liable for: -indirect or consequential damage such as delay damage, damage due to business interruption, lost profits, lost savings, missed opportunities, loss of goodwill, or forfeited penalties or fines; -damage as a result of any defects, inaccuracies and/or omissions in the Performances that the Customer has failed to report on time or should have detected itself, or that are the result of incorrect information or instructions provided by the Customer; -damage that has arisen as a result of improper or careless use, as a result of not, or not correctly, following Wavin's instructions, or as a result of use for a purpose other than for which the Products are intended. 7.6. Limitation of liability as referred to in these Terms and Conditions do not affect any Performance delivered under Wavin product or project warranties to the extent that such warranties explicitly provide for a wider liability. 7.7. The limitations of Wavin's liability contained in these Terms and Conditions do not apply if the damage is the result of intent or gross negligence on the part of Wavin or its management." | "8.1 The restrictions on liability in this clause 8 apply to every liability arising under or in connection with the Contract including liability in contract, tort (including negligence), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise. 8.3 Subject to clause 8.2, the Supplier's total liability to the Customer shall not exceed the price of the Goods. 8.4 Subject to clause 8.2, the following types of loss are wholly excluded: (a) loss of profits; (b) loss of sales or business; (c) loss of agreements or contracts; (d) loss of anticipated savings; (e) loss of or damage to goodwill; (f) loss from business downtime; and (g) indirect or consequential loss. 8.5 WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE CUSTOMER ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY FOR THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY THE USE OF THE GOODS IN THE PRACTICE OF ANY PROCESS, WHETHER IN TERMS OF OPERATING COSTS, GENERAL EFFECTIVENESS, SUCCESS OR FAILURE, AND REGARDLESS OF ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS MADE BY THE SUPPLIER, BY WAY OF TECHNICAL ADVICE OR OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE USE OF THE GOODS. 8.6 Subject to clause 8.2, the Supplier shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage resulting from the unloading, storage, handling, disposal, distribution, or use of the Goods by the Customer, whether in the manufacturing process or otherwise. 8.7 Failure by the Customer to provide Supplier with written notice of any claim under the Contract within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Goods applicable to such claim shall constitute a waiver of such claim by the Customer. Notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations to the contrary, any action by the Customer for a claim hereunder must be instituted no later than one (1) year after the occurrence of the event upon which the claim is based. All of the foregoing limitations shall apply whether Customer’s claim is based upon breach of contract, breach of warranty, indemnity, negligence, strict liability or any other legal theory. 8.8 This clause 8 shall survive termination of the Contract." | "9. Compensation 9.1. Unless some imperative norm prevents it, the liability of MEXICHEM for damages caused to the Client, its legal representatives, administrators, employees, contractors, clients or related third parties, is limited to the value of the resins sold and the damages must be properly tested. 9.2. Unless some imperative norm prevents it, MEXICHEM will only be responsible for the serious breach of substantial obligations of the sale, understood as those whose breach affects the essence of the sale." | "In no case, the Parties will be liable for damages, including without limitation business interruption, loss of opportunity, even when they have been notified of its possible existence; or for damages originated in acts or omissions of third parties other than its subcontractors. It is agreed that any action by the Parties must be initiated within two (2) years after the date on which the cause of such action has taken place. Accenture will not be responsible for delays, defaults and / or any other fact or act not attributable to Accenture. Each of the Parties’ limitation of liability pursuant to this Section 11 constitutes the complete agreement between the Parties about this object and, in this sense, Accenture's consideration contemplates said limitation. The Parties agree that they will only seek the corporate or firm assets of the other in relation to said responsibilities and in no case will they have any action against the shareholders, partners or owners of the other Party (as applicable) in relation to this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, WTW will not be liable to the Client for any claim for breach of this Agreement, negligence, legal or statutory duty or other claim arising from any delay or failure by WTW to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, to the extent that such failure is the result, directly or indirectly, of any negligent or culpable act or omission on the part of the Client, or of any third party whose activities are not under the control, or should not be supervised or in any way monitored by WTW as part of its activities under this Agreement, or in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance and Surety Institutions Act." | "Most clauses duly protect the companies by substantially reducing their exposure to damages and capping those to the purchase price. They exclude key aspects such as: 1. Indirect damages 2. Consequential damages 3. Punitive damages Alphagary should be more explicit and thorough to make express exclusions of these types of damages. We advise to cap the amount for large sales. For instance, indicate that the cap “is the price paid to or X amount, whichever is less”. " |

Wavin's total liability, irrespective of the legal basis, is limited to the invoice amount of the relevant Performance, with a total maximum of EUR 1,000,000 (one million) including any other compensation under the Agreement and/or these General Terms and Conditions, for each cause of damage, in which a series of events counts as one cause." | "8.2 Nothing in the Contract limits any liability which cannot legally be limited, including liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by negligence; or (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation" | - | "WTW’s, and/or its affiliates’, or subsidiaries’ total liability for breach of this Agreement, negligence, breach of statutory duties or any other claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Services provided therein, shall be limited to the following: (i) Regarding any claim for injury or death caused to the Client's personnel by WTW's negligence during the rendering of Services under this Agreement, WTW’s liability will be that provided for in the applicable laws and / or that determined by any authority or competent court, plus payment of direct damages caused to the Client; (ii) Regarding any claim that is the result of any fraudulent act (including theft) by WTW’s personnel during the rendering of Services under this Contract, WTW’s liability will be that provided for in the applicable laws and / or that determined by any competent authority or court, plus the payment of direct damages caused to the Client; (iii) Regarding any other claim or matter related to this Agreement, WTW’s total liability will be limited to either 3 (three) times the commissions for the Services that the latter has received from the insurers under the Insurance Program, during the 12 (twelve) months immediately prior to the date the claim is submitted, or it will be limited to the amount of USD $ 10'000,000.00 (ten million dollars 00/100, legal tender of the United Mexican States , whichever is less; and (iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, WTW and / or its subsidiaries or affiliates will not be liable to the Client for the following damages and losses: loss of profits, loss of opportunity, reputational loss or damage, loss of earnings, loss of anticipated savings, increased costs to conduct business or any other indirect damage or loss." | "Netafim, Duraline and Alphagary are missing specific provisions on death and injury. However, depending on the jurisdiction, such occurrences could either be covered by the general limitation of liability or cannot be limited. In any case, we suggest including express provisions to limit this liability. It is worth noting that, in most jurisdictions, liability arising out of negligence or willful misconduct is not subject to limitation. " |

Compensation 9.1. Unless some imperative norm prevents it, the liability of MEXICHEM for damages caused to the Client, its legal representatives, administrators, employees, contractors, clients or related third parties, is limited to the value of the resins sold and the damages must be properly tested. " | - | "Despite there not being an express mention to indemnity, most T&C's express that remedies are limited to repairs or replacements of any defective goods or the price paid for them. Therefore, indemnities are covered. Alphagary’s T&C could be refined to expressly limit or provide a fixed remedy. . " |

"14. TERMINATION, CANCELLATION, CHANGES, AND RETURNED MATERIAL: Orders cannot be terminated, modified, shipment deferred or returned after acceptance of Buyer’s order by Seller, except with Seller’s written consent and subject to a minimum $25.00 or 25% restocking charge, whichever is greater.

Buyer agrees to defend and indemnify Seller against any claims or liabilities for, or by reason of the infringement of any United States Patent arising from the manufacture of any of the Goods in accordance with specifications furnished by Buyer or from the sale thereof." | - | "4.2. The Customer complies with all instructions and regulations relating to (product) safety of Wavin and/or of the (local) government. The Customer provides appropriate information on health, safety, security and the environment to all persons, including but not limited to the Customer’s employees, contractors, subcontractors and customers, on the basis of a statutory obligation, or on the basis of the Customer's expectation that such persons may come into contact with the Products. The Customer indemnifies Wavin against all costs and damages (including any fines imposed by the competent authorities), which have been incurred or suffered by Wavin because the Customer has remained in default with the performance of its obligations under this provision. See also Delivery. 7.4. The Customer indemnifies Wavin against all third-party claims relating to the Performances delivered by Wavin to the Customer if and insofar as Wavin would not have been liable towards these third parties pursuant to the Agreement and these General Terms and Conditions, if these third parties would have been the Customer themselves. 9.4. The Customer indemnifies Wavin against all third-party claims on account of any actual or alleged infringement of IP rights relating to the manufacture, delivery or use of a Performance that has been produced or delivered in accordance with the Customer's specifications, or with the use of materials, drawings, models, instructions, etc. made available by the Customer. The Customer will compensate Wavin for the damage it suffers as a result, including any costs of defense. In such event, Wavin is entitled to suspend the performance of its obligations under the Agreement or to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect, without being obliged to pay any compensation to the Customer. See also Intellectual Property. The Customer indemnifies Wavin for all consequences of theft, loss or damage of the Products subject to this retention of title. See also Titles. 20.2.

Customer Breaches When the Client enters into default of the obligations with MEXICHEM, he shall entitle MEXICHEM to modify the conditions of sale and supply." | - | "Wavin provides the most robust customer-company set of indemnities for different typs of cases (use, delivery, intellectual property). Duraline's and Koura's provisions are also adequate. These three cover two essential aspects: 1. Orbia’s capacity to recover damages from them 2. The Buyer’s obligation to hold Orbia harmless from third-party claims. Netafim and Alphagary are missing explicit, broad customer-Orbia indemnities. We advise to include express provisions as in the other T&C’s. We also advise to expand the scope of the indemnities to include holding our business harmless from the consequences of any act of corruption, reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with recovering damages or defending from a third party claim which the Buyer should protect Orbia from.

16. GENERAL CONDITIONS: No agent, salesman or other party is authorized to bind Seller by any agreement, warranty, statement, promise or understanding not herein expressed. The sale of Goods pursuant to this contract, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Tennessee without regard to conflict principles. In addition to the rights and remedies conferred upon Seller by law, Seller shall not be required to proceed with the performance of any order or contract, if Buyer is in default in the performance of any order or contact with Seller and in case of doubt as to Buyer’s financial responsibility, shipments under this order may be suspended or sent sight draft with bill of lading attached by Seller. Any clerical errors are subject to correction. No delay or omission by Seller in exercising any right or remedy provided for herein shall constitute a waiver of such right or remedy and shall not be constituted as a bar to or a waiver of any such right or remedy on any future occasion. Any provision hereof prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition and without invalidating the remaining provision hereof. | "Miscellaneous 6. The laws of the country of incorporation of the Seller shall govern these Terms. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the country of incorporation of the Seller and the courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts. LIMITED WARRANTY This warranty shall be subject to, and shall be exclusively governed by, the Laws of the State of Israel, to the exclusion of its conflict of law rules." | "12.1. The Agreement is exclusively governed by Dutch law. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (hereinafter the ‘Vienna Sales Convention’) does not apply." | "13.8 Governing law The Contract, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales." | "10. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction 10.1. All relations between MEXICHEM and the Client derived from the sale of resins will be subject to the Law of the Republic of Colombia (Law of the domicile of the Seller), regardless of the nationality or domicile of the Buyer, nor the place of manufacture or delivery of the resins. The parties expressly declare that their relations will not be applicable to the United Nations Convention (UN) on the international sale of goods." | - | "All T&C's provide for adequate governing law provision. Each provides for a different jurisdiction (Tennessee, Netherlands, England and Colombia). In case of Netafim, the jurisdiction may vary. It indicates that the terms are governed by the laws of the country of the Seller. Unless it is commercially inconvenient, we suggest fixing the jurisdiction to a country so that there can be certainty about the full efficiency of the provisions." |
|
|
17. ARBITRATION: Any dispute arising between Buyer and Seller based upon this agreement or the Goods purchased pursuant hereto will be heard in the Chancery Court for Knox County, Tennessee by a Chancellor sitting without a jury and the award of the Chancellor shall be final and binding upon the parties. | "Miscellaneous 6. The laws of the country of incorporation of the Seller shall govern these Terms. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the country of incorporation of the Seller and the courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts. LIMITED WARRANTY Any dispute arising out of or in respect of this warranty shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in the State of Israel." | "12.2. All disputes in relation to the Agreement or any resulting legal relationship will be settled exclusively by the court that has jurisdiction, the Overijssel District Court, location Zwolle, the Netherlands. 12.3. Contrary to Article 12.2, disputes are settled by the Netherlands Arbitration Institute (NAI) in accordance with the NAI Arbitration Regulations in force at the time if: - the Customer has its registered office outside the European Union; and/or - the dispute relates to a Work or any resulting legal relationship. The language of arbitration is Dutch and the place of arbitration is Zwolle, the Netherlands. If the original evidence is in the English language, the parties are entitled to submit such evidence in this language if the arbitrator or arbitrators so agree." | "13.9 Jurisdiction Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Contract or its subject matter or formation. Notwithstanding this clause, nothing shall prevent the Supplier from bringing proceedings to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Contract or its subject matter or formation, outside of England and Wales, in the country in which the Buyer is located or the matter leading to the dispute of claim arose." | 10.2. All disputes and disputes about the existence, validity, compliance and termination of the resale sale between MEXICHEM and the Client, will be submitted to the judges of the Republic of Colombia, without prejudice to the right of MEXICHEM to sue the Client in its place of domicile or nationality. | - | "Most T&Cs provide for adequate jurisdiction provisions. Netafim appears to have conflicting jurisdiction provisions between the T&Cs and the warranty. The T&C provide for the courts in the Seller’s country. The warranty provides for Israeli courts. This could trigger jurisdictional issues. We suggest consistency between both. Wavin includes a complex arbitration provision that could be simplified to ensure its efficacy. We suggest including an arbitration clause for cross-border sales in all terms and conditions." |

13. DELIVERY AND DELAYS: Unless expressly specified to the contrary, Goods in stock will be shipped promptly, and Goods not in stock will be shipped as soon as commercially reasonable. However, all shipping dates are approximate, and are based upon current availability of material, present production schedules, and prompt receipt of all necessary information. Seller will not be liable for any damage, loss, fault, or expenses arising out of delays in shipment or other nonperformance, of this agreement caused by or imposed by (a) strikes, fires, disasters, acts of terrorists, riots, acts of God, (b) acts of Buyer, (c) shortages of labor, fuel, power, materials, supplies, transportation, or manufacturing facilities (d) government action; (e) subcontractor delay, or (f) any other cause or condition beyond Seller’s reasonable control. In the event of any such delay or nonperformance, Seller may, at its option, and without liability, cancel all or any portion of this agreement and/or extend any date upon which any performance hereunder is due. Any delivery not in dispute shall be paid for regardless of other controversies relating to other delivered or undelivered merchandise. Orders will be considered complete upon shipment of a reasonable quantity over or under the amount specified in the Sales Order when it is impracticable to produce the exact quantity ordered. | "Force Majeure 1.Subject to subclause 2 below and except for any obligation of the Buyer to pay any money due to Seller, neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation hereunder caused by a Force Majeure Event. 2. The Party claiming the Force Majeure Event will (A) promptly notify the other Party in writing of the Force Majeure Event and its likely duration, and (B) will take reasonable steps to overcome the delay or stoppage. 3. 'Force Majeure Event' means an event condition or circumstance beyond a party’s reasonable control including, without limitation, industrial disputes, strikes, lockouts, accident, breakdown, import or export restrictions, acts of God, fire, inclement weather, epidemic or pandemic outbreak (including COVID-19 or similar), acts or threats or terrorism or war or other similar circumstances." | "6.1. If and insofar as Wavin fails to comply with its obligations under the Agreement as a result of force majeure as referred to in Article 6:75 DCC, Wavin is not liable for those failures. Insofar as compliance has not become permanently impossible, these obligations are suspended for the duration of the force-majeure situation. If the period during which performance is impossible due to force majeure lasts or will last longer than two (2) months, both parties are entitled to terminate or dissolve the Agreement without the Customer being entitled to claim compensation for that reason. 6.2. Force majeure on the part of Wavin exists in the event of, among other things, restrictive government measures, strikes, lack of raw materials, illness, delays, transport problems, (threat of) war, (full or partial) mobilization, riots, sabotage, floods, fire or other forms of destruction within Wavin's company, lockouts, workouts, breakdowns of machines or tools or other malfunctioning, including power failures, within Wavin's company and the circumstance that Wavin is not delivered a performance that is important in connection with the performance to be delivered by Wavin itself, or is not delivered on time or properly. Force majeure on the part of Wavin also exists if one or more of the aforementioned circumstances occur within the companies of Wavin's suppliers or subcontractors. 6.3. If Wavin has already partially fulfilled its obligations when the force majeure occurs, or can only partially fulfil its obligations, Wavin is entitled to invoice the part already delivered or the part that can be delivered separately, and the Customer is obliged to pay this invoice." | "12 Force majeure No liability shall result to the Supplier from any delay or suspension in the performance, in whole or in part, of its obligations under the Contract if such performance has been made impracticable by compliance in good faith with any applicable foreign or domestic governmental regulation or order, whether or not such regulation or order later proves to be invalid, or by the occurrence of a contingency beyond the reasonable control of the Supplier, including acts of God, epidemic, pandemic, fire, flood, accident, riot, war, sabotage, strike, labour trouble or shortage, breakdown or failure of equipment, or embargo. Furthermore, the Supplier’s (a) inability to obtain at prices and on terms deemed by it to be practicable any required raw material, energy source, equipment, labour or transportation, or (b) incurring increased costs for compliance with environmental protection, health or safety regulations, shall also be sufficient to relieve the Supplier of its obligation to perform under the Contract. If any of the circumstances described in this clause 12 only partially affect the Supplier’s ability to perform its obligations under the Contract, the Supplier shall have the right to allocate production and deliveries among all of its customers and its own requirements in a manner and at such times as the Supplier may determine. Quantities affected by this clause 12 may, at the option of either party, be eliminated from the Contract without liability, but the Contract shall remain otherwise unaffected. The Supplier shall have no obligation to obtain the Goods or raw materials from a third party or affiliate in order to supply quantities excused under this clause 12." | 7.3. The term for delivery shall be deemed extended in cases of force majeure or fortuitous event that hinder or impede the delivery of MEXICHEM. In addition to the provisions of the Law, the following circumstances are understood as constituting force majeure or fortuitous event: (i) power outages at MEXICHEM facilities, (ii) shortage or rationing of raw materials, (iii) strikes or stoppages labor, (iv) order of authority, (v) disturbances, (vi) effects on the traffic of vehicles or people, provided they are not attributable to MEXICHEM. These same circumstances will entitle MEXICHEM to definitively withdraw from compliance with the agreement without giving rise to any compensation, moratorium or penalty, if these affect MEXICHEM's ability to fulfill its obligations. | - | "All T&Cs contain provisions covering for standard elements of force majeure: 1. Unforeseeable 2. Entailing impossibility to comply with obligations. We suggest including improbable “social” events which may not be typically defined as force majeure events: for instance, COVID-19, financial crisis, supply chain disruptions beyond our reasonable control, material adverse changes in law." |

In connection with the Agreement, the Customer undertakes to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, decrees, applicable official government regulations relating to anti-bribery and anti-money laundering." | "9.2 The Customer acknowledges the importance to the Supplier of the Supplier’s Code of Ethics, set out at https://www.orbia.com/sustainability/policies-and-guidelines/ as may be updated by the Supplier from time to time. The Customer agrees that the Supplier may cancel the Contract, without liability to the Customer, if at any time it has reason to believe that the Customer violates the Supplier’s Code of Ethics." | - | - | "Only Wavin, Koura and Netafim provide for code of conduct. Netafim’s is the most robust and comprehensive. We suggest replicating a code of conduct provision in Duraline and Alphagary such as Netafim’s. Especially, because Orbia and its group may be subject to the US’s FCPA. Wavin still makes reference to Mexichem instead of Orbia. " |

8. ACCEPTANCE AND TRANSPORTATION: Seller shall not be responsible for insuring shipments unless specifically requested by Buyer and any insurance so requested shall be at Buyer’s expenses and valuation. | - | "15.2. With regard to the Products delivered subject to retention of title, the Customer is obliged: 1) to delay these and keep these insured against fire, explosion and water damage and against theft and to make the policy of this insurance available for inspection upon Wavin's request; 2) to pledge to Wavin, upon Wavin's request, all the Customer's claims against insurers in respect of the Products delivered subject to retention of title; 3) to store it carefully and marked as Wavin’s property; and 4) to cooperate in other ways upon Wavin's request with all reasonable measures that Wavin wishes to take to protect its right of ownership with regard to the Products that do not unreasonably impede the Customer in the normal course of its business. 23.1. Completion of the Work will take place by the Customer signing a delivery protocol drawn up by Wavin. In all cases, the Work will be deemed to have been completed as soon as the Customer has actually put the Work into use. From the date of completion, the Customer must have insured the Work independently, or at any rate all the consequences of the absence of such an insurance policy will be for the Customer's account and risk. After completion of the Work, Wavin will no longer be liable for defects, unless these are hidden defects as referred to in Article 23.2." | - | - | - | "Only Duraline and Wavin include insurance provisions. Wavin’s is more robust. We suggest including an express reference in all T&C’s that whenever a retention of title is applicable, the Buyer must secure, pay for and produce an insurance policy covering the goods. Legal departments of these divisions must be aware that, if they ship goods under certain incoterms (CIF for instance) they may be required to pay for insurance. " |

3. PRICE: Payment terms of sale are net thirty (30) days unless Seller agrees otherwise in writing. In the event payment is not made within terms, Buyer shall be charged a late payment fee of one and one-half (1.5%) percent per month for each month in which payment is delayed, or the maximum lawful rate, whichever is lower, until payment is made in full. | "Prices and Payment terms If the Buyer fails to pay any amounts due, Buyer will pay an interest, at the official rate of interest set by the government of the country of incorporation of the Seller from time to time, over the outstanding balance on a monthly basis from the due date until actual payment in full. In addition, and without prejudice to any of Seller's other rights and remedies under the Commercial Documents or at law or in equity, Seller may, at its sole discretion, suspend or cancel deliveries of any Products to the Buyer." | "5.5. Unless the Customer objects to an invoice within a period of fifteen (15) days after the invoice date, that invoice is deemed to have been accepted. If the Customer remains in default with its obligation to pay as referred to in Article 5.4, the Customer will be in default de jure and all claims of Wavin will become immediately due and payable in full. In that case, the Customer will also owe statutory commercial interest plus 0.05% per day on the outstanding amounts up to and including the time of payment in full, without prejudice to any other rights to which Wavin is entitled by virtue of the law and the Agreement, which in any case includes performance of the Agreement and the right to compensation." | "7.9 If the Customer fails to make a payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting the Supplier's remedies under clause 11 (Termination), the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause 7.9 will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%." | - | - | "These liquidated damages refer to late payment. The provisions are adequate both in terms of applicability and the rates. The provisions vary in the accrual rate. Duraline’s and netafim’s are monthly, Wavin is daily. Koura is not specific. Alphagary does not include such a provision. We suggest standardizing all T&C’s to daily accrual and incorporating this provision to Alphagary’s. " |

Notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations to the contrary, any action by the Customer for a claim hereunder must be instituted no later than one (1) year after the occurrence of the event upon which the claim is based. All of the foregoing limitations shall apply whether Customer’s claim is based upon breach of contract, breach of warranty, indemnity, negligence, strict liability or any other legal theory. " | "8. Failing 8.1. Once the resins have been received, the Client has the duty to inspect them regularly and inform MEXICHEM of any failing without undue delay within a maximum period of 3 calendar days of receiving the resins.

In any case, the Client's right to make claims for failing ceases within three (3) months from the delivery of the resins." | - | "All clauses conform with expressing the warranties applicable to the goods and the timeframe for it. Only Alphagary and Koura impose the duty to inspect the goods on the Buyer. We suggest including that duty into all T&Cs. " |

"5. If any products are found by Dura-Line to be defective, such products, at Dura-Line’s option, will be replaced or repaired at Dura-Line’s cost. The Purchaser’s sole remedy for a defective product, and for any and all claims arising out of the purchase and use of the product, shall be limited to the repair and replacement of the product at Dura-Line’s cost.

If the Customer fails to comply or fails to fully comply with the obligations in this Article, the Customer by this single fact per event, will owe Wavin an immediately payable penalty of an amount equal to 5% of the agreed price in accordance with the Agreement, with a maximum of EUR 20,000 in all cases, without any demand or notice of default being required and without prejudice to Wavin's right to performance and full compensation for damages. 10.3. After the complete performance of the Agreement, this Article will continue to apply in full until such time as Wavin releases the Customer from confidentiality in writing." | - | - | - | Only Wavin includes a confidentiality provision. The provision is adequate but can be improved. We suggest including in all and considering the following as confidential information: price, terms of delivery, and other business operation related matters. We also suggest including exceptions to confidentiality such as a court ordered disclosures and the duty on the Buyer to inform about such disclosures. |

All intellectual property rights to the Performances delivered by Wavin to the Customer, as well as any subsequent results, are vested in Wavin. The Customer does not acquire any right to Wavin’s intellectual property rights. Insofar as the intellectual property rights are not vested in Wavin by operation of law, the Customer hereby assigns them to Wavin, to the extent possible, and guarantees that it is entitled to do so. If this transfer would not be legally valid, the Customer will transfer the intellectual property rights to Wavin in a legally valid manner upon Wavin's request. Wavin's intellectual property rights include all trademarks, trade names, logos, designs, symbols, emblems, distinguishing marks, slogans, service marks, copyrights, patents, models, drawings, know-how, information and any other distinguishing material of Wavin, whether or not subject to registration or filing (hereinafter ‘IP rights’). The Customer may not use or copy them, or make them available or show them to third parties without Wavin’s express prior written consent. 9.2. The Customer will not do or fail to do anything that could damage, endanger or impair Wavin's IP rights. In particular, the Customer will not: (a) modify, remove or disfigure IP rights or other means of identification of Performances delivered by Wavin; (b) use Wavin's IP rights in such a way that their distinctive character or validity may be affected; (c) use trademarks other than Wavin's trademarks with regard to Performances delivered by Wavin without Wavin’s prior express written consent, or (d) use trademarks or trade names similar to Wavin's trademarks or trade names that may cause confusion or deception. 9.3. The Customer will inform Wavin immediately and fully of any actual, expected or envisaged infringement of Wavin's IP rights that comes to the Customer's attention. 9.4. The Customer indemnifies Wavin against all third-party claims on account of any actual or alleged infringement of IP rights relating to the manufacture, delivery or use of a Performance that has been produced or delivered in accordance with the Customer's specifications, or with the use of materials, drawings, models, instructions, etc. made available by the Customer. The Customer will compensate Wavin for the damage it suffers as a result, including any costs of defense. In such event, Wavin is entitled to suspend the performance of its obligations under the Agreement or to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect, without being obliged to pay any compensation to the Customer. 9.5. To the best of Wavin's knowledge, Wavin's Products and Services do not infringe the IP rights of any third party. However, Wavin is not liable to the Customer if the Products or Services unexpectedly infringe the IP rights of third parties." | - | - | - | "Only Netafim and Wavin provide for IP protections. Wavin provides the highest degree of protection. Netafim can be improved to Wavin's standard. The fact that there are no clauses in Alphagary, Koura and Duraline does not mean that the companies lack protection.

Buyer should also hold us harmless in case of breach. |

However, Duraline is the only one expressly providing for a restocking fee in case of cancellation (a type of change). Wavin makes reference that any changes will be charged as additional work. Therefore, there can be discretion in charging or not for changes. We suggest standardizing these clauses to reflect that: 1) Any order is final when confirmed by seller 2) Any change should be within a certain time frame (depending on the product) 3) Any change must be agreed upon in writing 4) Buyer must pay any expense related to that change (restocking, reshipping, work already done, etc.)" |

In the event of a shortcoming on the part of Wavin, the Customer must give Wavin written notice of default, giving Wavin a reasonable period of time (in which case a period of less than fourteen (14) days of the date of receipt of the written default notice is never reasonable) to deliver the relevant Performances in accordance with the Agreement.

No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. 13.5 Severance If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract. If any provision of the Contract is deemed deleted under this clause 13.5 the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree a replacement provision that, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision. 13.6 Notices (a) Any notice given to a party under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or by pre-paid first-class post at its registered office (if a company) or its principal place of business (in any other case).

We suggest supplementing Alphagary's." |

Terms range from 14 to 30 days (30 being the most common). Duraline does not provide when such period starts running. Alphagary does not provide for a specific period and leaves it open to parties agreement. We suggest including a fixed period for Alphagary and standarizing when the time period starts running (e.g. 30 days after receiving the invoice)" |

The others are silent. We suggest including a provision indicating a default currency or an express indication that the currency will be stated in the purchase order. We also suggest including a provision that, if payment is received in a different currency, the Buyer must cover any difference caused by the exchanged rate. " |

9. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS: Title to any Goods sold and risk of loss of such Goods passes to Buyer upon delivery by Seller to carrier, and any claims for losses or damage shall be made by Buyer directly with carrier. | "Prices and Payment terms 7. Unless otherwise agreed, risk of loss and transfer of title to the Products shall transfer to the Buyer upon delivery to the Buyer. " | "15.1. All Products delivered by Wavin will remain the property of Wavin until such time as the Customer has fully complied with all its payment obligations towards Wavin pursuant to any agreement entered into with Wavin for the delivery of Products as well as the related performance of Work or Services, including claims relating to failure to perform such an agreement. As long as the ownership of the Products delivered or to be delivered has not been transferred to the Customer, the Customer is not entitled to pledge the Products or to grant a third party any right of security in respect thereof. The Customer is, however, permitted to sell and actually deliver the Products delivered to third parties subject to retention of title in the context of normal business operations. 13.6. The risk of the Products passes to the Customer when the Products are delivered to the agreed location in accordance with the Agreement and in the absence of such a provision, in accordance with the applicable delivery condition as referred to in Article 13.1.

With regard to Products that must be installed and/or that must form part of the Work to be produced, the risk of both the Work to be created and that of the installed Products and those not yet installed will pass to the Customer from the moment when the Products arrive at the Customer's (business) premises or at the construction site." | "6.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on delivery unless, before delivery has taken place, the Supplier notifies the Customer in writing that title in the Goods has passed to the Customer. 6.2 The Customer shall advise the carrier and the Supplier in writing (otherwise than by a qualified signature on the delivery note) within the following time limits: (a)for loss from a package or from an unpacked consignment, or for damage to or non-delivery of any part of a consignment, within 3 Business Days of the date of delivery of the consignment or part consignment, followed by a valued claim in writing within 7 Business Days after termination of transit; (b)for damage to a whole consignment, within 28 days of notice of dispatch (other than upon a delivery note) followed by a valued claim in writing within 42 days after the commencement of transit. The Supplier will decline to entertain claims unless the Customer complies with the provisions of this clause 6.2 6.3 Title to the Goods shall pass to the Customer on delivery." | 7.1. The responsibility and risks on the merchandise sold will be those foreseen in the term Incoterm agreed between the parties. | - | "All T&Cs provide for transfer of title and risk –albeit inconsistently. We suggest to replicate Wavin's standard: risk of loss is transferred upon delivery to the Buyer or the carrier. Title to the goods shifts to the Buyer only after the Buyer has paid the goods in full. Alphagary refers this matter to the agreed upon Incoterm. Unless commercially inconvenient, we suggest replacing it with a default provision similar to Wavin's. " |

Wavin is not responsible for the correctness of the declarations of weight, dimensions, capacity and such.

If the Seller cannot meet the delivery date, it will notify the Buyer and use reasonable endeavors to make delivery within a reasonable time. Buyer must accept delivery and pay the Price thereof irrespective of such delay. 6. The Seller may make delivery by instalments. Each installment shall be considered a separate transaction, shall be separately invoiced and paid for when due per the applicable invoice. " | "13.1. Unless otherwise agreed, delivery will take place EXW in accordance with the most recent version of the ICC Incoterms. 13.2. If delivery on demand has been agreed, the Customer will purchase all Products within six months of entering into the Agreement, or at least Wavin will be entitled to invoice these Products as having been purchased within that period. 13.3. If Products are specifically produced at the Customer's request, these will be delivered and purchased within six weeks of production." | "4.1 The Supplier shall deliver the Goods in the manner set out in the Order (or, if not specified, as determined by Supplier in its discretion) to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree. Delivery is completed when the Goods are delivered in accordance with the agreed Incoterm or (where no Incoterm is applicable) upon the unloading of the Goods at the agreed delivery location. Supplier shall not be required to tender delivery of any quantities of Goods for which Customer has not provided timely shipping instructions. 4.3 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall have no liability for any delay or failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods. 4.5 If [ten] Business Days after the day on which the Supplier first attempted delivery of the Goods, the Customer has not accepted actual delivery of them, the Supplier may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods, in addition to reasonable storage and selling costs. 4.7 The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment." | 7.2. MEXICHEM has the right to make partial deliveries of resins, which does not constitute a breach of its obligations, if (i) partial delivery is adequate for the Client within the intended use for resins, (ii) the delivery of the remaining resins is guaranteed, and (iii) the Client does not incur any additional cost for this circumstance, unless MEXICHEM declares and in writing that it is willing to bear these costs. | - | "Only Wavin and Koura expressly provide for qualty of the goods. Wavin is the most comprehensive and flexible to Orbia's companies. We suggest replicating such provision that to the rest. " |
