                                      1. GENERAL
                                        The following Standard Terms and Conditions are applicable to all quotations and orders between Devro Inc. (“Seller”) and any buyer (“Buyer”) of products of Seller and are the only terms and conditions, oral or written, applying to the sale of products to Buyer except for additional terms consistent with these Standard Terms and Conditions on prices, quantities, delivery schedules, and the description and specifications of the products as set forth in an order form accepted in writing by Seller (collectively, the “Agreement”). Seller hereby objects to and rejects any other terms or conditions appearing on, incorporated by reference in or attached to any purchase order, acceptance, acknowledgment, invoice, transmittal or other document provided by Buyer. Seller’s failure to object to any provision contained in a document or communication from Buyer shall not be a waiver of these Standard Terms and Conditions. ALL SALES OF SELLER’S PRODUCTS ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED ON BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THESE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER, ACKNOWLEDGMENT, CONFIRMATION, OR SIMILAR DOCUMENT, BUYER SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THESE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPON BUYER’S RECEIPT HEREOF WITHOUT PROMPT WRITTEN OBJECTION HERETO OR UPON BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PRODUCTS ORDERED.
                                      2. PRICES; TAXES AND FEES
                                        All prices, whether shown in a price list or an order confirmation, or otherwise quoted or agreed upon, are subject to change without notice at any time prior to actual delivery of the products. Unless otherwise expressly provided by Seller, prices do not include sales, excise, privilege, use, value-added or other similar taxes now in effect or hereafter levied, transportation charges (such as freight, insurance, shipping, storage, handling, demurrage or similar charges), special packaging, marketing or testing, and Buyer shall pay all such charges, including applicable sales or other taxes levied with respect to the products and this Agreement (unless exempt therefrom), as well as any government fees levied, upon receipt of the related invoice from Seller and in accordance with this Agreement. In the event that any of the foregoing charges are specifically included in the purchase price of the products, any charges attributable to increases in applicable rates after the date such price is quoted to Buyer shall be added to the price. Such charges or taxes imposed on Seller or which Seller has a duty to collect in connection with the sale or delivery of the products in accordance with this Agreement shall be paid by Buyer and will appear as separate items on Seller’s invoice.
                                      3. TERMS OF PAYMENT
                                        Buyer shall pay the invoiced amount in full within thirty days from the date of such invoice. Subject to limitations imposed by applicable law, if payment is not received in full by the due date, a late charge will be added at the rate of 2% per month (or the maximum legal amount, if less) on the unpaid balance from the due date thereof. Said late charge shall be paid in addition to the contract price and shall continue to be paid until Seller receives the full purchase price. Buyer shall not, without Seller’s written agreement thereto, be entitled to deduct, counterclaim or set off against the price of any products, or against any other amount owing under this Agreement including under any invoice, any claim or alleged claim arising out of this Agreement or any other transaction with Seller. If Buyer’s financial responsibility shall become unsatisfactory to Seller at any time and for any reason, Seller shall have the right, in addition to whatever other rights Seller may have at law or equity, to require payment in advance or to obtain satisfactory security from Buyer before making any further deliveries. In case any payment is not made when due, Seller shall have the right, in addition to its other remedies, to seek specific performance of this Agreement, suspend any further deliveries, alter payment terms, or terminate this Agreement. Approval of credit for one or more deliveries shall not be deemed a waiver of this provision.
                                      4. DELIVERY
                                        The delivery dates provided are estimates only and are subject to change or cancellations. Seller may elect to deliver the products in installments, with each installment being considered a separate sale and invoiced as such, and Buyer shall timely pay each invoice. Any products indicated at any time as back-ordered shall be considered an installment delivery. The products shall be delivered F.O.B. Seller’s shipping point, and title to each shipment of products sold hereunder and the risk of loss thereon shall pass to Buyer upon such delivery. In the absence of shipping and packing instructions, Seller shall use its own discretion in choice of carrier and method of packing. Seller reserves the right to over-ship or under-ship products by up to 15%. Seller shall not be liable for any delay in the shipment or delivery or inability to complete the performance of the contract where the delay or inability is directly or indirectly the result of any of the following causes: fire, flood, storm or any other act of God, accident, riot, acts of terrorism or war, governmental acquisition or order, strikes or other labor disturbance, shortage in the supply of labor or materials, unavailability of transportation, inability to obtain fuel, material, equipment or parts, or any cause or causes beyond Seller’s reasonable control.
                                      5. ACCEPTANCE
                                        Buyer shall accept any delivery of conforming products ordered by Buyer. Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted delivered products unless Buyer gives Seller notice in writing stating with specificity all defects and nonconformities upon which Buyer will rely to support its rejection (i) in the case of defects discoverable through inspection, within seven days after receipt of the product or (ii) in the case of defects not discoverable through inspection, within thirty days or other reasonable time established by Seller after receipt of the product. Failure to so act shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance by Buyer of the product. ALL DEFECTS AND NON-CONFORMITIES WHICH ARE NOT SPECIFIED ARE WAIVED. If Buyer rejects any delivery of the products, Buyer shall return them to Seller, pursuant to Seller’s direction. No products may be returned without Seller’s express written approval in advance of return. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, when any products shall have been altered from their original state, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such products. Buyer’s acceptance of products delivered under this Agreement shall be final and irrevocable. No attempted revocation of acceptance shall be effective, and Buyer shall be limited to the remedies specifically provided in this Agreement.
                                      6. PACKAGING; ARTWORK
                                        Prices are based on Seller’s standard packaging. Seller reserves the right to package the products in pallets, bulk or individual cartons. Packaging will be standard commercial packaging and acceptable to commercial carriers. Special customer packaging will be furnished only when specified and expressly agreed to by Seller, and the cost thereof shall be borne by Buyer. All artwork and labeling used by Seller for the products shall be provided to Seller by Buyer. Buyer shall pay for the cost of any and all artwork, labeling proofs, printing plates and dies to be used in the production of labeling the product. Buyer represents and warrants that the artwork provided to Seller shall not infringe on any third party’s intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, copyright, trademark or trade name, and Buyer further represents that all artwork provided to Seller shall comply with all applicable laws. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies, and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents (collectively, the “Seller Parties”), from and against any and all third party claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of any actual or alleged infringement or violation of any copyright, 2 trademark or other proprietary rights asserted against Seller as a result of Seller’s use of the artwork provided by Buyer.
                                      7. WARRANTY
                                        Seller warrants to Buyer that the products sold hereunder are free from defects in material and workmanship for six months following the date of delivery. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE, SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. Seller’s warranty is conditioned upon the following: (i) Buyer delivering written notice of its claim under this clause to Seller within such warranty period, but not later than fifteen days after discovery of the defect which is the basis for its claim; (ii) Buyer delivering the alleged defective products to Seller F.O.B. Seller’s factory within thirty days after such written notice; and (iii) Seller determining (in its sole discretion) that such goods are defective and have not been subject to accident, abuse, neglect or misuse, and have been maintained in accordance with Seller’s recommendations and specifications.
                                      8. LIMITATIONS ON REMEDIES AND SELLER’S LIABILITY
                                        SELLER’S LIABILITY (WHETHER UNDER THE THEORIES OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY) FOR ITS PRODUCTS SHALL BE LIMITED TO, AT SELLER’S OPTION, REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF NON-CONFORMING PRODUCTS OR SELLER’S REIMBURSEMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF SUCH NON-CONFORMING PRODUCTS. SELLER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PENALTIES, FEES, OR FOR COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, INCOME OR PROFITS. THE AGGREGATE TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL DAMAGES ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE CONTRACT PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (OR CLAIMS) OF LIABILITY. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Parties from and against any and all third party claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of Buyer’s or its employees’, customers’ or agents’ use, storage, sale, processing or other disposition of the products. Additionally, Seller shall have no liability for an improper use, storage, sale, processing or other disposition of the products by Buyer or its employees, customers or agents.
                                      9. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
                                        All confidential and proprietary information of Seller, including its trade secrets, furnished or acquired by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to any formula, design, manufacturing methods or processes, or treatment and composition of materials, shall be kept confidential by Buyer, and not disclosed to third parties without Seller’s express written permission. Buyer shall not use any such data, in whole or in part, or the products, to copy, replicate or manufacture (or enable manufacture by itself or any third party) the products.
                                      10. SECURITY INTEREST
                                        To secure prompt payment of the purchase price for the products, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a purchase money security interest in the products purchased from Seller and all proceeds thereof (the “Collateral”). Buyer agrees to execute and deliver to Seller UCC financing statements, together with any and all documents, and shall take such other action, as may be required to perfect Seller’s security interest in the Collateral.
                                      11. COSTS OF COLLECTION
                                        If, at any time, Seller incurs legal expenses or other costs or expenses in connection with (i) any litigation, contest, suit, dispute, proceeding or action in any way relating to collection of the purchase price or the Collateral; (ii) any attempt by Seller to enforce any rights of Seller against Buyer or any other person which may be obligated to Seller hereunder; or (iii) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or dispose of the Collateral, then, in any such event, the expenses and costs (including attorneys fees) relating to any of the foregoing events or actions shall be payable by Buyer upon demand by Seller and shall be considered additional obligations hereunder secured by the Collateral.
                                      12. CANCELLATIONS, TERMINATION
                                        After shipments have been scheduled, Buyer may not cancel or postpone a scheduled shipment unless Buyer submits a request in writing, and Seller consents by issuing a new formal acknowledgment. Any request by Buyer to cancel or to reschedule a shipment of any product may be rejected as untimely or, at Seller’s option, may be accepted upon payment of the appropriate cancellation charge or rescheduling charge. If Buyer refuses to accept deliveries of the products sold, or is otherwise in default under or repudiates all or any part of the contract, or advises Seller that it will default in the performance of any of its obligations, or if any action is started by or against Buyer seeking the appointment of a trustee or receiver or the entry of an order for debtor’s relief for Buyer, then, in addition to any and all remedies allowed by law, Seller, without notice, may pursue any of the following remedies: (i) bill and declare due and payable all delivered products under the Agreement, (ii) cease performance of its obligations and defer shipment under the Agreement until such default, breach or repudiation is removed, (iii) cancel any undelivered portions of the products, or (iv) recover products in transit, retrieve delivered products, or repossess products stored by Seller for Buyer’s account. The foregoing remedies and all rights granted to Seller in this Agreement and by law or equity are cumulative, provided Seller shall be entitled to only a single full recovery.
                                      13. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
                                        Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the products sold hereunder are manufactured pursuant to U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations and guidelines, and when and as sold to Buyer are not subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“U.S.D.A.”). Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with U.S.D.A. regulations and all other governmental or industry regulations applicable to Buyer’s use of the products.
                                      14. MISCELLANEOUS
                                        This Agreement does not constitute an agency relationship between the parties and neither party shall hold itself out to be the legal representative, agent, or employee of the other party for any purpose whatsoever. No change or modifications shall be allowed to the Agreement without the expressed written permission of the Seller. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto, but it shall not be assigned in whole or part by either party without written consent of the other; provided, however, that Seller may assign the Agreement in connection with a merger, a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a reorganization without the consent of Buyer. Waiver by Seller of any provision of the Agreement or of a breach by Buyer of any provision of the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of future compliance with the Agreement and such provision, as well as all other provisions of this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed deleted herefrom and replaced by a valid and enforceable provision which, so far as possible, achieves the same economic and other benefits for the parties as the severed provision was intended to achieve, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina. The exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be the state and federal courts located in Columbia, South Carolina.
                                      1. GENERAL
                                        The following Standard Terms and Conditions are applicable to all quotations and orders between Devro Inc. (“Seller”) and any buyer (“Buyer”) of products of Seller and are the only terms and conditions, oral or written, applying to the sale of products to Buyer except for additional terms consistent with these Standard Terms and Conditions on prices, quantities, delivery schedules, and the description and specifications of the products as set forth in an order form accepted in writing by Seller (collectively, the “Agreement”). Seller hereby objects to and rejects any other terms or conditions appearing on, incorporated by reference in or attached to any purchase order, acceptance, acknowledgment, invoice, transmittal or other document provided by Buyer. Seller’s failure to object to any provision contained in a document or communication from Buyer shall not be a waiver of these Standard Terms and Conditions.

                                      7.3 The Supplier shall not be liable for failure of the Goods to comply with the Warranty if the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the oral or written instructions of the Supplier as to the storage and use of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same.

Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. This clause shall not apply to and no interest shall be paid in respect of payments Devro disputes in good faith.

                                      8.7 Devro may at any time, without limiting any of its other rights or remedies, set off any liability of the Supplier to Devro against any liability of Devro to the Supplier.

                                      8.8 The Supplier shall maintain complete and accurate records of the time spent and materials used by the Supplier in providing the Services, and shall allow Devro to inspect such records at all reasonable times on request.

                                      8.9 All invoices submitted to Devro must contain a pre-approved Purchase Order Number (PON) to be considered valid. This PON  will be given to you by your contact at Devro upon ordering the Goods/Services. If we receive an invoice without a PON, we will be unable to process the invoice and therefore you will not receive payment until a valid invoice (containing a PON) is submitted to us. It is your responsibility to seek and confirm a PON with your Devro contact before issuing an invoice to us.

                                      • provide all equipment, tools and vehicles and such other items as are required to provide the Services;

                                      4.1 If the Supplier fails to perform the Services by the applicable dates or fails to perform the Services in accordance with clause 3.3, Devro shall, without limiting or affecting other rights or remedies available to it, have one or more of the following rights:

                                      • to terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the Supplier;
                                      • to refuse to accept any subsequent performance of the Services which the Supplier attempts to make;
                                      • to require the Supplier to provide repeat performance of the Services, or to provide a full refund of the price paid for the Services;
                                      • to recover from the Supplier any costs incurred by Devro in obtaining substitute services from a third party;
                                      • to require a refund from the Supplier of sums paid in advance for Services that the Supplier has not provided; and
                                      • to claim damages for any additional costs, loss or expenses incurred by Devro which are in any way attributable to the Supplier’s failures as outlined in this clause.

                                      4.2 These Conditions shall extend to any substituted or remedial services provided by the

                                      4.3 Devro's rights and remedies under these Conditions are in addition to its rights and remedies implied by statute and common

                                      5. Price and payment

                                      5.1 The price of the Services shall be the price set out in the Order and shall be the full and exclusive remuneration of the Supplier in respect of the performance of the Services. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Devro, the charges shall include every cost and expense of the Supplier directly or indirectly incurred in connection with the performance of the

                                      5.2 The price of the Services excludes amounts in respect of VAT, GST or Sales Tax, which Devro shall additionally be liable to pay to the Supplier at the prevailing rate, subject to the receipt of a valid VAT

                                      5.3 The Supplier may invoice Devro for price of the Services plus VAT, GST or Sales Tax at the prevailing rate (if applicable) on completion of the

                                      5.4 Devro shall pay correctly rendered invoices within 90 days of receipt of the invoice. Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by the

                                      5.5 The Supplier shall maintain complete and accurate records of the time spent and materials used by the Supplier in providing the Services, and shall allow Devro to inspect such records at all reasonable times on

                                      5.6 If Devro fails to make any payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date for payment and has continued to fail to make such payment after 14 days from written notification of the delay from the Supplier, then Devro shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum 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%) unless applicable law requires Devro to pay a higher rate of interest in which case such higher rate shall apply. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. This clause shall not apply to and no interest shall be paid in respect of payments Devro disputes in good faith.

                                      5.7 Devro may at any time, without limiting any of its other rights or remedies, set off any liability of the Supplier to Devro against any liability of Devro to the

                                      5.8 All invoices submitted to Devro must contain a pre-approved Purchase Order Number (PON) to be considered valid. This PON will be given to you by your contact at Devro upon ordering the Goods/Services. If we receive an invoice without a PON, we will be unable to process the invoice and therefore you will not receive payment until a valid invoice (containing a PON) is submitted to us. It is your responsibility to seek and confirm a PON with your Devro contact before issuing an invoice to us.

                                      6. Devro obligations

                                      6.1 Devro shall: (a) provide the Supplier with reasonable access at reasonable times to Devro’s premises for the purpose of providing the Services; (b) provide such necessary information for the provision of the Services as the Supplier may reasonably request.

                                      7. Supplier obligations

                                      • The Supplier will provide without delay any information about the security of its network and information systems, as reasonably requested by Devro from time to time, and it will update Devro immediately in the event of any material changes to such information.
                                      • The Supplier shall notify Devro immediately if it becomes aware of any Incident and respond without delay to all queries and requests for information from Devro about any Incident.

                                      8. Intellectual property rights

                                      8.1 All Intellectual Property Rights in or arising out of or in connection with the Services (other than Intellectual Property Rights in any Devro Materials) shall be owned by Devro and the Supplier hereby assigns all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services to Devro.

                                      8.2 Devro grants to the Supplier a fully paid-up, non-exclusive, royalty-free non-transferable licence to use any Intellectual Property Rights in the Devro Materials for the term of the Contract for the sole purpose of providing the Services to Devro.

                                      8.3 All Devro Materials are the exclusive property of

                                      9. Indemnity

                                      9.1 The Supplier shall indemnify Devro against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and all other reasonable professional costs and expenses suffered or incurred by Devro arising out of or in connection with:

                                      • any claim brought against Devro for actual or alleged infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights arising out of, or in connection with, the receipt, use or supply of the Services (excluding the Devro Materials); and
                                      • any claim made against Devro by a third party arising out of, or in connection with, the supply of the

                                      9.2 This clause 9 shall survive termination of the

                                      10. Limitation of Liability

                                      10.1 Nothing in the Contract shall limit or exclude either party’s liability for:

                                      • death or personal injury caused by its negligence, or the negligence of its employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);
                                      • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
                                      • any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for either party to exclude or restrict

                                      10.2 Subject to clause 1, each party’s total liability to the other party for all other losses arising under or in connection with the Contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to 200% of the value of the total Services purchased by Devro during the 12 months preceding the date on which the claim arose. This limit shall not apply to: (i) any claims in respect of the indemnity provided by the Supplier contained in clause 9; or (ii) any breach of clauses 12 and 13 by the Supplier.

                                      10.3 Neither party shall be liable to the other for any: (a) loss of goodwill or injury to reputation; (b) loss of business opportunity; (c) loss of revenue or profits; (d) or any other indirect, consequential or special loss or damage, arising under or in connection with the

                                      3. Zboží

                                      3.1 Dodavatel zajistí, že Zboží bude:

                                      (a) odpovídat svému popisu a jakýmkoli platným Specifikacím;
                                      (b) uspokojivé kvality a vhodné pro jakýkoli účel nabízený Dodavatelem nebo oznámený Dodavateli ze strany Devro;

                                      3.3 Devro smí zkontrolovat a otestovat Zboží kdykoliv před dodávkou. Dodavatel zůstane plně odpovědný za Zboží navzdory takové kontrole nebo testování.
                                      3.4 Pokud po takové kontrole nebo testování Devro usoudí, že Zboží neodpovídá nebo pravděpodobně nesplní závazky Dodavatele v klauzuli 3.1, potom informuje Dodavatele a Dodavatel okamžitě podnikne takovou nápravnou akci, jaká je nutná pro zajištění souladu.
                                      3.5 Devro může provést další kontroly a testy poté, co Dodavatel provedl své nápravné akce.

                                      4. Dodávka

                                      (a) Zboží je řádně zabaleno a zajištěno takovým způsobem, aby se mohlo dostat do místa svého určení v dobrém stavu;
                                      (b) každou dodávku Zboží doprovází dodací list, který uvádí datum Objednávky, číslo Objednávky (je-li nějaké), typ a množství Zboží (včetně kódového čísla Zboží, kde to lze použít), zvláštní pokyny pro skladování (jsou-li nějaké) a v případě, že se Zboží dodává po částech, zbývající množství Zboží, které je třeba ještě dodat; a
                                      (c) pokud Dodavatel požaduje, aby Devro vrátilo jakýkoli balící materiál Dodavateli, je tato skutečnost jasně uvedena na dodacím listu. Jakýkoli takový balící materiál bude vrácen Dodavateli na náklady Dodavatele.
                                      4.2 Dodavatel bude dodávat Zboží:

                                      5. Opravné prostředky Devro
                                      5.1 Pokud Zboží není dodáno v den data dodání nebo nesplňuje závazky uvedené v klauzuli 3.1, tak, bez omezení jakéhokoli jiného svého práva nebo náhrady, a bez ohledu na to, jestli Zboží přijalo nebo ne, smí Devro uplatnit jakékoli jedno nebo více z níže uvedených práv a náhrad:
                                      (a) odstoupit od Smlouvy;

                                      (f) nárokovat si náhradu škody za jakékoli jiné náklady, ztráty nebo výlohy, které vynaloží Devro, které lze

                                      z jakéhokoliv důvodu přisoudit selhání Dodavatele splnit své povinnosti podle Smlouvy.
                                      5.2 Tyto Podmínky platí na jakékoli opravené nebo náhradní Zboží dodané Dodavatelem.
                                      5.3 Práva a náhrady Devro podle těchto Podmínek jsou navíc k jeho právům a náhradám naznačeným ze zákona a zvykového práva.
                                      6. Vlastnické právo a riziko
                                      Vlastnické právo a riziko ve vztahu ke Zboží přejde na Devro při dokončení dodávky.
                                      7. Cena a platba
                                      7.1 Cena Zboží je cena uvedená v Objednávce.
                                      7.2 Cena Zboží:
                                      (a) je bez částek týkajících se DPH, daně ze zboží a služeb nebo prodejní daně, které má Devro navíc zaplatit Dodavateli v platné sazbě, s výhradou přijetí platné faktury s DPH; a
                                      (b) zahrnuje náklady na balení, pojištění a přepravu Zboží.
                                      7.3 Žádné další poplatky nebudou účinné, pokud nebudou dohodnuty písemně s Devro.
                                      7.4 Dodavatel smí fakturovat Devru cenu Zboží plus DPH, daň ze zboží a služeb nebo prodejní daň v platné sazbě (pokud se vztahuje) v den nebo kdykoli po dokončení dodávky.

                                      7.6 Pokud Devro nezaplatí jakoukoli platbu splatnou Dodavateli podle Smlouvy do data splatnosti dané platby a neprovede takovou platbu do 14 dnů od písemného oznámení o prodlení od Dodavatele, tak Devro zaplatí úrok z dlužné částky ve výši 4% ročně nad aktuální základní sazbu Bank of England (ale 4% ročně za jakékoli období, kdy je základní sazba pod 0%), pokud platný zákon nevyžaduje, aby Devro platilo vyšší úrokovou sazbu, v kterémžto případě platí taková vyšší sazba. Takový úrok bude narůstat na denním základě od data splatnosti až do data skutečné platby dlužné částky, ať již před rozsudkem nebo po něm. Tato klauzule neplatí pro platby, které Devro rozporuje v dobré víře, a v takovém případě nebude platit žádný úrok.
                                      7.7 Devro smí kdykoliv, bez omezení jakéhokoli ze svých jiných práv nebo náhrad, započíst jakoukoliv pohledávku Dodavatele vůči Devru proti jakékoliv pohledávce Devro vůči Dodavateli.

                                      9. Odškodnění
                                      9.1 Dodavatel trvale odškodní Devro vůči všem odpovědnostem, nákladům, výlohám, škodám a ztrátám a všem úrokům, pokutám a právním nákladům (počítáno na základě úplného odškodnění) a všem dalším rozumným profesionálním nákladům a výlohám), které Devro utrpí nebo vynaloží v důsledku nebo ve spojitosti s:
                                      (a) jakoukoli žalobou vznesenou vůči Devru kvůli skutečnému nebo domnělému narušení práv duševního vlastnictví třetí strany vyvstávající z nebo ve spojitosti s dodávkou nebo použitím Zboží, do míry, do níž lze nárok přisoudit jednání nebo opomenutí Dodavatele, jeho zaměstnanců, zástupců nebo subdodavatelů;
                                      (b) jakoukoli žalobou vznesenou vůči Devru třetí stranou kvůli úmrtí, zranění osoby nebo škodě na majetku vyvstávající z nebo ve spojitosti s vadami Zboží, do míry, do níž lze vady Zboží přisoudit jednání nebo opomenutí Dodavatele, jeho zaměstnanců, zástupců nebo subdodavatelů; a
                                      (c) jakoukoli žalobou vznesenou vůči Devru třetí stranou vyvstávající z nebo ve spojitosti s dodávkou Zboží, do míry, do níž takový nárok vyvstává z porušení, nedbalého plnění nebo neplnění nebo zpožděného plnění Smlouvy ze strany Dodavatele, jeho zaměstnanců, zástupců nebo subdodavatelů.
                                      9.2 Tato klauzule 9 přetrvá i po ukončení platnosti Smlouvy.

                                      (d) jakékoli jednání, s ohledem, na něž by bylo nezákonné, aby jakákoli strana vyloučila nebo omezila odpovědnost.
                                      10.2 S výhradou klauzule 10.1 je celková odpovědnost každé strany vůči druhé straně za všechny další ztráty vyvstávající z nebo ve spojitosti se Smlouvou, ať již podle smlouvy, z občanskoprávního sporu (včetně nedbalosti), porušení zákonné povinnosti nebo jinak, omezena na 200% hodnoty celkového Zboží, které Devro zakoupilo během 12 měsíců předcházejících datum, k němuž nastal daný nárok.

                                      Během období Smlouvy a po dobu 3 let poté bude Dodavatel udržovat v platnosti, u renomované pojišťovny, pojištění odpovědnosti za výrobek a veřejné pojištění odpovědnosti na pokrytí odpovědností, které by mohly vyvstat podle nebo ve spojitosti se Smlouvou, a na žádost Devro předloží jak pojistnou smlouvu uvádějící detaily krytí, tak potvrzení o pojistném na aktuální rok s ohledem na takové pojištění.
                                      12. Utajení
                                      Každá strana se zavazuje, že nikdy po datu této Smlouvy nepoužije, nevyzradí nebo nesdělí žádné osobě, kromě svých profesionálních zástupců nebo poradců nebo jak může být požadováno zákonem nebo jakýmkoli právním nebo regulatorním úřadem, žádné důvěrné informace druhé strany, které se mohla dozvědět jako součást Smlouvy, a každá ze stran vynaloží rozumné úsilí, aby zabránila zveřejnění nebo odhalení jakýchkoli důvěrných informací týkajících se takových záležitostí.

Devro zaplatí Dodavateli férovou a rozumnou kompenzaci za jakoukoli rozpracovanou práci na Zboží v čase Odstoupení, ale taková kompenzace nebude zahrnovat ztrátu očekávaných zisků nebo jakoukoli důsledkovou ztrátu.
                                      14.2 Bez omezení svých jiných práv nebo náhrad smí Devro od Smlouvy odstoupit s okamžitou účinností písemným vyrozuměním Dodavatele, pokud:

                                      14.3 Ukončení platnosti Smlouvy, ať k němu dojde jakkoliv, neovlivní žádná práva a náhrady stran, které se jim nahromadily k ukončení platnosti.
                                      14.4 Klauzule, které výslovně nebo naznačením přetrvají ukončení platnosti Smlouvy, zůstanou nadále v plné platnosti a účinnosti.
                                      15. Vyšší moc
                                      Žádná strana nebude v porušení Smlouvy, ani odpovídat za prodlení v plnění nebo neplnění jakékoli ze svých povinností, pokud takové prodlení nebo selhání je výsledkem události, okolnosti nebo příčiny mimo její rozumnou kontrolu.

Pokud jakékoli ustanovení nebo částečné ustanovení Smlouvy je nebo se stane neplatným, nelegálním nebo nevynutitelným, bude se považovat za upravené do minimální míry, která je nezbytná, aby se stalo platným, legálním a vynutitelným, přičemž tato skutečnost nebude mít za následek neplatnost nebo nevymahatelnost zbytku Smlouvy.
                                      16.7 Podání.

Ustanovení této klauzule neplatí na službu jakéhokoli řízení nebo jiné dokumenty v jakékoli žalobě.
                                      16.8 Audit. Pokud Devro podá oznámení alespoň 7 pracovních dnů předem, tak Devro (nebo jeho profesionální poradci) smí během normální pracovní doby: (a) vstoupit do prostor Dodavatele a zkontrolovat je; a (b) zkontrolovat, provést audit a udělat kopie příslušných záznamů a dalších dokumentů, aby byl ověřen soulad Dodavatele s podmínkami Smlouvy.
                                      16.9 Anglický jazyk. Tato Smlouva je sepsána v anglickém jazyce. Pokud je tato Smlouva přeložena do jakéhokoli jiného jazyka a dána k dispozici ze strany Devro, má anglická jazyková verze vždy přednost.
                                      16.10 Práva třetích stran. Nikdo jiný než strana Smlouvy, nemá žádné právo vynucovat jakoukoli z jejích podmínek.
                                      16.11 Rozhodné právo. Smlouva a jakýkoli spor nebo nárok (včetně nesmluvních sporů nebo nároků) vyvstávajících z nebo ve spojitosti s ní nebo jejím předmětem nebo vytvořením se bude řídit a vykládat v souladu se zákonem uvedeným v Příloze.
                                      16.12 Jurisdikce. Každá strana neodvolatelně souhlasí, že soudy uvedené v Příloze mají exkluzivní jurisdikci pro vyřešení jakéhokoli sporu nebo nároku (včetně nesmluvních sporů nebo nároků) vyvstávajících z nebo ve spojitosti se Smlouvou nebo jejím předmětem nebo vytvořením.

                                      4. Opravné prostředky Devro

                                      4.1 Pokud Dodavatel neprovede Služby do příslušných termínů nebo neprovede Služby v souladu s klauzulí 3.3, tak, bez omezení nebo ovlivnění jakéhokoli jiného práva nebo náhrady, které mu mohou být k dispozici, Devro má jedno nebo více z níže uvedených práv:

                                      (a) odstoupit od Smlouvy s okamžitým účinkem podáním písemné výpovědi Dodavateli;

                                      (b) odmítnout přijmout jakékoli následné plnění Služeb, které se Dodavatel může pokoušet dělat;

                                      4.2 Tyto Podmínky se vztahují na jakékoli náhradní nebo opravné služby poskytnuté Dodavatelem.

                                      4.3 Práva a náhrady Devro podle těchto Podmínek jsou navíc k jeho právům a náhradám naznačeným ze zákona a zvykového práva.

                                      5. Cena a platba

                                      5.1 Cena Služeb je cena stanovená v Objednávce a bude úplnou a exkluzivní odměnou Dodavatele s ohledem na poskytování Služeb. Pokud není písemně odsouhlaseno jinak Devrem, fakturované částky zahrnují všechny náklady a výlohy Dodavatele přímo nebo nepřímo vynaložené ve spojitosti s vykonáváním Služeb.

                                      5.2 Cena Služeb nezahrnuje částky týkající se DPH, daně ze zboží a služeb nebo prodejní daně, za jejichž platbu Dodavateli v platné sazbě odpovídá Devro, s výhradou přijetí platné faktury s DPH

                                      5.3 Dodavatel smí fakturovat Devru cenu Služeb plus DPH, daně ze zboží a služeb nebo prodejní daně v platné sazbě (pokud přichází v úvahu) při dokončení Služeb.

                                      5.4 Devro zaplatí správně poskytnuté faktury během 60 dnů od přijetí faktury. Platba bude učiněna na bankovní účet, který bude písemně sdělen Dodavatelem.

                                      5.5 Dodavatel bude udržovat úplné a přesné záznamy stráveného času a materiálů používaných Dodavatelem při poskytování Služeb, a umožní Devru na požádání zkontrolovat takové záznamy během rozumné doby.

                                      5.6 Pokud Devro nezaplatí jakoukoli platbu splatnou Dodavateli podle Smlouvy do data splatnosti dané platby a neprovede takovou platbu do 14 dnů od písemného oznámení o prodlení od Dodavatele, potom Devro zaplatí úrok z dlužné částky ve výši 4 % ročně nad aktuální základní sazbu Bank of England (ale 4 % ročně za jakékoli období, kdy je základní sazba pod 0 %), pokud platný zákon nevyžaduje, aby Devro platilo vyšší úrokovou sazbu, v kterémžto případě platí taková vyšší sazba. Takový úrok bude narůstat na denním základě od data splatnosti až do data skutečné platby dlužné částky, ať již před rozsudkem nebo po něm. Tato klauzule neplatí pro platby, které Devro rozporuje v dobré víře, a v takovém případě nebude platit žádný úrok

                                      5.7 Devro smí kdykoliv, bez omezení jakéhokoli ze svých jiných práv nebo náhrad, započíst jakoukoliv pohledávku Dodavatele vůči Devru proti jakékoli pohledávce Devro vůči Dodavateli.

                                      6. Povinnosti Devro

                                      6.1 Devro bude: (a) poskytovat Dodavateli rozumný přístup v rozumných dobách do prostor Devro za účelem poskytování Služeb; (b) poskytovat takové nezbytné informace pro poskytování Služeb, které Dodavatel může rozumně požadovat.

                                      7. Práva duševního vlastnictví

                                      7.1 Veškerá Práva duševního vlastnictví k nebo vyvstávající z nebo ve spojitosti se Službami (kromě Práv duševního vlastnictví k jakýmkoli Materiálům Devro) jsou vlastnictvím Dodavatele.
                                      7.2 Dodavatel udílí Devru nebo opatří přímé udělení Devru, plně zaplacené, celosvětové, neexkluzivní, bezpoplatkové, trvalé a neodvolatelné licence používat, kopírovat a upravovat Realizační výstupy (vyjma Materiálů Devro) za účelem přijímání a používání Služeb a Realizačních výstupů.
                                      7.3 Devro udílí Dodavateli plně zaplacenou, neexkluzivní, bezpoplatkovou nepřenositelnou licenci používat jakákoli Práva duševního vlastnictví k Materiálům Devro po dobu trvání Smlouvy za výlučným účelem poskytování Služeb pro Devro.
                                      7.4 Veškeré Materiály Devro jsou výlučným majetkem Devro.


                                      8. Odškodnění
                                      8.1 Dodavatel odškodní Devro vůči všem odpovědnostem, nákladům, výlohám, škodám a ztrátám a všem úrokům, pokutám a právním nákladům (počítáno na základě úplného odškodnění) a všem dalším rozumným profesionálním nákladům a výlohám), které Devro utrpí nebo vynaloží v důsledku nebo ve spojitosti s:
                                      (a) jakoukoli žalobou vznesenou proti Devru za skutečné nebo domnělé narušení práv duševního vlastnictví třetí strany vyvstávající z nebo ve spojitosti s přijetím, používáním nebo dodáváním Služeb (kromě Materiálů Devro); a
                                      (b) jakoukoli žalobou vznesenou proti Devru třetí stranou vyvstávající z nebo ve spojitosti s dodáváním Služeb.
                                      8.2 Tato klauzule 8 přetrvá ukončení platnosti Smlouvy.


                                      9. Omezení odpovědnosti
                                      9.1 Nic ve Smlouvě neomezuje nebo nevylučuje odpovědnost jakékoli strany za:
                                      (a) smrt nebo zranění osob způsobené její nedbalostí nebo nedbalostí jejích zaměstnanců, zástupců nebo subdodavatelů (jak přichází v úvahu);
                                      (b) podvod nebo klamné uvedení v omyl; nebo
                                      (c) cokoliv, s ohledem na což by bylo nezákonné, aby jakákoli strana vyloučila nebo omezila odpovědnost.
                                      9.2 S výhradou klauzule 9.1 je celková odpovědnost každé strany vůči druhé straně za všechny další ztráty vyvstávající z nebo ve spojitosti se Smlouvou, ať již podle smlouvy, z občanskoprávního sporu (včetně nedbalosti), porušení zákonné povinnosti nebo jinak, omezena na 200 % hodnoty celkových Služeb, které Devro zakoupilo během 12 měsíců předcházejících datu, k němuž nastal daný nárok. Tento limit neplatí pro: (i) žádné nároky týkající se odškodnění poskytnutého Dodavatelem, které jsou uvedeny v klauzuli 8; nebo (ii) jakékoliv porušení klauzulí 11 a 12 Dodavatelem.
                                      9.3 Žádná strana neodpovídá druhé straně za jakoukoli: (a) ztrátu dobrého jména nebo poškození reputace; (b) ztrátu obchodní příležitosti; (c) ztrátu příjmu nebo zisků; (d) nebo jakoukoli jinou nepřímou, důsledkovou nebo speciální ztrátu nebo škodu vyvstávající podle nebo ve spojitosti se Smlouvou.
                                      9.4 Tato klauzule 9 přetrvá po ukončení platnosti Smlouvy.


                                      10. Pojištění
                                      Během období Smlouvy a po dobu 3 let poté bude Dodavatel udržovat v platnosti, u renomované pojišťovny, pojištění profesní odpovědnosti a veřejné pojištění odpovědnosti na pokrytí odpovědností, které by mohly vyvstat podle nebo ve spojitosti se Smlouvou, a na žádost Devro předloží jak pojistnou smlouvu uvádějící detaily krytí, tak potvrzení o pojistném na aktuální rok s ohledem na každé pojištění.


                                      11. Utajení

Tato klauzule 11 přetrvá ukončení platnosti Smlouvy.


                                      12. Dodržování relevantních zákonů a politik
                                      12.1 Při plnění svých povinností podle Smlouvy bude Dodavatel: (a) dodržovat všechny platné zákony, nařízení, směrnice, které budou v dané době platné; a (b) dodržovat Povinné politiky.

                                      13.1 Devro smí odstoupit od Smlouvy, zcela nebo zčásti, kdykoliv před dodáním s okamžitým účinkem tím, že Dodavatele o odstoupení písemně vyrozumí, na základě čehož Dodavatel ukončí veškerou práci na Smlouvě. Devro zaplatí Dodavateli férovou a rozumnou kompenzaci za jakoukoli rozpracovanou práci na Službách v čase odstoupení, ale taková kompenzace nebude zahrnovat ztrátu očekávaných zisků nebo jakoukoli důsledkovou ztrátu.
                                      13.2 Bez omezení svých jiných práv nebo náhrad smí Devro od Smlouvy odstoupit s okamžitou účinností písemným vyrozuměním Dodavatele, pokud:
                                      (a) se Dodavatel dopustí závažného porušení jakékoli podmínky Smlouvy a (pokud lze takové porušení napravit) nenapraví takové porušení během 5 dnů od chvíle, kdy je daná strana písemně informována, že tak má učinit;
                                      (b) Dodavatel podnikne jakýkoli krok nebo akci ve spojitosti se svým vstupem do nucené správy, prozatímní likvidace nebo jakékoli dohody o vyrovnání dluhu nebo vyrovnání se svými věřiteli (kromě těch týkajících se restrukturalizace v solventním stavu), rozpuštění (ať již dobrovolném nebo nařízeném soudem, kromě toho za účelem restrukturalizace v solventním stavu), je mu jmenován nucený správce pro jakákoli z jeho aktiv nebo přestane vykonávat své podnikání nebo, pokud je podniknut krok nebo akce v jiné jurisdikci, ve spojitosti s jakoukoli analogickou procedurou v příslušné jurisdikci;
                                      (c) Dodavatel podnikne jakýkoli krok nebo akci ve spojitosti s tím, že Dodavatel bankrotuje, uzavírá dohodu nebo vyrovnání se svými věřiteli nebo mu je jmenován nucený správce jmění nebo přestane vykonávat své podnikání;
                                      (d) Dodavatel pozastaví nebo hrozí, že pozastaví, nebo přestane nebo hrozí, že přestane, vykonávat veškeré nebo významnou část svého podnikání; nebo

                                      13.3 Při ukončení platnosti Smlouvy z jakéhokoli důvodu Dodavatel okamžitě dodá Devru veškeré Realizační výstupy, ať již jsou úplné nebo ne, a vrátí veškeré Materiály Devro. Pokud Dodavatel tak neučiní, smí Devro vstoupit do prostor Dodavatele a ujmout se jich. Dokud nebudou vráceny nebo doručeny, je Dodavatel plně odpovědný za jejich bezpečné uložení a nepoužije je pro žádný účel, který nesouvisí se Smlouvou.
                                      13.4 Ukončení platnosti Smlouvy, ať k němu dojde jakkoliv, neovlivní žádná práva a náhrady stran, které se jim nahromadily k ukončení platnosti.
                                      13.5 Klauzule, které výslovně nebo naznačením přetrvají ukončení platnosti Smlouvy, zůstanou nadále v plné platnosti a účinnosti.

                                      Žádná strana nebude v porušení Smlouvy, ani odpovídat za prodlení v plnění nebo neplnění jakékoli ze svých povinností, pokud takové prodlení nebo selhání je výsledkem události, okolnosti nebo příčiny mimo její rozumnou kontrolu. Pokud období prodlení nebo neplnění pokračuje déle než jeden měsíc, nezasažená strana smí ukončit Smlouvu podáním sedmidenní písemné výpovědi zasažené straně.


                                      15. Všeobecné

                                      (a) Devro smí kdykoliv postoupit, převést, dát do zástavy, připsat, subdodavatelsky zadat nebo naložit jakýmkoli jiným způsobem s jakýmikoli nebo všemi svými právy nebo povinnostmi podle Smlouvy.
                                      (b) Dodavatel nesmí postoupit, převést, dát do zástavy, prohlásit společnou správu nebo naložit jakýmkoli jiným způsobem s jakýmikoli nebo všemi svými právy nebo povinnostmi podle Smlouvy bez předchozího písemného souhlasu Devro.
