ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING WORK 13.3.1 The State may accept defective or nonconforming Work pursuant to Paragraph 13.2.1
Non-Conforming Product (a) Within [*****] of Chiesi’s receipt of an order for the Product, Chiesi may reject any such order or portion thereof that (i) does not conform to the warranty under Section 8.1 above, including to the Specifications, or (ii) is based on any claimed shortage in quantity, provided that such non-conformity in (i) above is not due to any failure by Chiesi, its Affiliates, agents or representatives to ship, handle, maintain, or store the Product as required under the Specifications. Kamada shall reasonably assist Chiesi in performing any such testing by providing to Chiesi any necessary technical information to accomplish such testing by Chiesi. Chiesi shall notify Kamada in writing within such [*****] period of its rejection of any order or portion thereof of the Product delivered by Kamada, which notice of rejection must contain the reason for such rejection; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to hidden defects in the Product. In the case of hidden defects, Chiesi shall have [*****] days from the date it becomes aware or reasonably should have become aware of any hidden defect to reject any order of the Product in accordance with applicable terms and conditions hereof. [*****] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(b) In the event of the rejection of the Product under this Section 8.2, or any other nonconformity or defect which the Parties mutually agree is a proper basis for rejection, and if such rejection is appropriately made by Chiesi, Kamada shall use its Best Reasonable Efforts to replace the rejected Product or make up the shortage at its expense within [*****] of the notice of such rejection or shortage, and in any case as soon as reasonably possible after receiving such notice, at no additional cost to Chiesi (including shipping and transportation costs), and Kamada shall make arrangements with Chiesi for the return or disposal of any rejected Product, such return shipping or disposal charges to be paid by Kamada.
(c) In the event of a conflict regarding whether or not the Product conforms to the warranty under Section 8.1 above, including to the Specifications at the time of delivery, and Chiesi and Kamada are unable to resolve such conflict after a good faith attempt by both Parties to resolve such matter in a period of [*****] days after the conflict arises, a sample of the Product shall be submitted by Chiesi to an independent laboratory reasonably acceptable to both Parties for testing against the Specifications or other defect and the test results obtained by such laboratory shall be final and controlling for purposes of this Agreement. If the Parties are unable to agree upon such independent laboratory in a period of [*****] days after the conflict arises, such independent laboratory shall be selected by the President of the ICC. The fees and expenses of such laboratory testing shall be borne entirely by the Party against whom such laboratory’s findings are made. In the event the independent laboratory test results indicate that the Product in question did not meet the Specifications or is otherwise defective, Kamada shall use its Best Reasonable Efforts to replace the rejected Product at no additional cost to Chiesi within [*****] days after receipt of such results if replacement Product stock is available, and in any case as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of such independent laboratory test. In the event the independent laboratory test results indicate that the rejected Product in question meets the Specifications, then Chiesi shall pay all additional shipping and transportation costs, incurred by Kamada as a result of the conflict as well as the cost of the Products to the extent that such Products have not been previously paid for by Chiesi, and shall accept and pay for the previously rejected Product in accordance with all applicable provisions hereunder.
(d) Without derogating from Section 4.2(e) and from any obligations that Kamada may have under this Agreement with respect to Third Party Claims, the foregoing shall be Chiesi’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to non-conforming Products or shortages, and all other remedies at law or in equity shall not be available to Chiesi. [*****] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION a. All shipments of Goods and performance of Services shall be subject to Buyer’s right of inspection. Buyer shall have ninety (90) days (the “Inspection Period“) following the delivery of the Goods at the Delivery Point or performance of the Services to undertake such inspection, and upon such inspection Buyer shall either accept the Goods or Services (“Acceptance“) or reject them. Buyer shall have the right to reject any Goods that are delivered in excess of the quantity ordered or are damaged or defective. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to reject any Goods or Services that are not in conformance with the Specifications or any term of this Agreement. Transfer of title to Buyer of Goods shall not constitute Buyer’s Acceptance of those Goods. Buyer shall provide Supplier within the Inspection Period notice of any Goods or Services that are rejected, together with the reasons for such rejection. If Buyer does not provide Supplier with any notice of rejection within the Inspection Period, then Buyer will be deemed to have provided Acceptance of such Goods or Services. Buyer’s inspection, testing, or Acceptance or use of the Goods or Services hereunder shall not limit or otherwise affect Supplier’s warranty obligations hereunder with respect to the Goods or Services, and such warranties shall survive inspection, test, Acceptance and use of the Goods or Services.
b. Buyer shall be entitled to return rejected Goods to Supplier at Supplier’s expense and risk of loss for, at Buyer’s option, either: (i) full credit or refund of all amounts paid by Buyer to Supplier for the rejected Goods; or (ii) replacement Goods to be received within the time period specified by Buyer. Title to rejected Goods that are returned to Supplier shall transfer to Supplier upon such delivery and such Goods shall not be replaced by Supplier except upon written instructions from Buyer. Supplier shall not deliver Goods that were previously rejected on grounds of non-compliance with this Agreement, unless delivery of such Goods is approved in advance by Buyer, and is accompanied by a written disclosure of Buyer’s prior rejection(s).
Payment Does Not Imply Acceptance of Work The granting of any payment by City, or the receipt thereof by Contractor, shall in no way lessen the liability of Contractor to replace unsatisfactory work, equipment, or materials, although the unsatisfactory character of such work, equipment or materials may not have been apparent or detected at the time such payment was made. Materials, equipment, components, or workmanship that do not conform to the requirements of this Agreement may be rejected by City and in such case must be replaced by Contractor without delay.
ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK If the Owner prefers to accept Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.
