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).
Inspection and Acceptance Where the Master Agreement, a Participating Addendum, or an Order does not otherwise specify a process for inspection and Acceptance, this section governs. This section is not intended to limit rights and remedies under the applicable commercial code. Contractor shall provide right of access to the Lead State, or to any other authorized agent or official of the Lead State or other Participating or Purchasing Entity, at reasonable times, in order to monitor and evaluate performance, compliance, and quality assurance requirements under this Master Agreement. Upon delivery, the Purchasing Entity shall have 30 days to inspect. Products that do not meet specifications may be rejected. Failure to reject upon receipt, however, does not relieve the contractor of liability for material (nonconformity that substantially impairs value) latent or hidden defects subsequently revealed when goods are put to use. Acceptance of such goods may be revoked in accordance with the provisions of the applicable commercial code, and the Contractor is liable for any resulting expense incurred by the Purchasing Entity related to the preparation and shipping of Product rejected and returned, or for which Acceptance is revoked. If any services do not conform to contract requirements, the Purchasing Entity may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in Order amount. When defects cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Purchasing Entity may require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of services performed. The warranty period shall begin upon Acceptance. The Purchasing Entity will make every effort to notify the Contractor, within thirty (30) calendar days following delivery, of non-acceptance of a Product or completion of Service. In the event that the Contractor has not been notified within 30 calendar days from delivery of Product or completion of Service, the Product and Services will be deemed accepted on the 31st day after delivery of Product or completion of Services. This clause shall not be applicable, if acceptance testing and corresponding terms have been mutually agreed to by both parties in writing. Acceptance Testing may be explicitly set out in a Master Agreement to ensure conformance to an explicit standard of performance. Acceptance Testing means the process set forth in the Master Agreement for ascertaining that the Product meets the standard of performance prior to Acceptance by the Purchasing Entity. If Acceptance Testing is prescribed, this subsection applies to applicable Products purchased under this Master Agreement, including any additional, replacement, or substitute Product(s) and any Product(s) which are modified by or with the written approval of Contractor after Acceptance by the Purchasing Entity. The Acceptance Testing period shall be thirty (30) calendar days or other time period identified in this Master Agreement or the Participating Addendum, starting from the day after the Product is delivered or, if installed, the day after the Product is installed and Contractor certifies that the Product is ready for Acceptance Testing. If the Product does not meet the standard of performance during the initial period of Acceptance Testing, Purchasing Entity may, at its discretion, continue Acceptance Testing on a day-to-day basis until the standard of performance is met. Upon rejection, the Contractor will have fifteen (15) calendar days to cure the standard of performance issue(s). If after the cure period, the Product still has not met the standard of performance, the Purchasing Entity may, at its option: (a) declare Contractor to be in breach and terminate the Order; (b) demand replacement Product from Contractor at no additional cost to Purchasing Entity; or, (c) continue the cure period for an additional time period agreed upon by the Purchasing Entity and the Contractor. Contractor shall pay all costs related to the preparation and shipping of Product returned pursuant to the section. No Product shall be deemed Accepted and no charges shall be paid until the standard of performance is met. The warranty period shall begin upon Acceptance.
Inspection Period Purchaser shall have a period of time commencing on the Effective Date and expiring at 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time on June 17, 1998 (the "Inspection Period") within which to examine the Property and to conduct its feasibility study thereof. Seller agrees that, during the Inspection Period, Seller will allow Purchaser and Purchaser's agents access to the Property during normal business hours to conduct soil and engineering, hazardous waste, marketing, feasibility, zoning and other studies or tests and to otherwise determine the feasibility of the Property for Purchaser's intended use; provided, however, that prior to conducting any invasive testing with respect to the Land or Improvements, or any tests or studies which could cause any damage to the Land or Improvements, Purchaser must advise Seller in writing (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such proposed testing) of its intent to conduct such tests or studies and Seller may, in its reasonable discretion, refuse to approve any such tests or studies, in which event Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Contract pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and receive a refund of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit, all as provided in said Section 5.2. Seller agrees that, during the Inspection Period, Seller will allow Purchaser and Purchaser's agents to conduct interviews with the Tenants set forth on Schedule 5.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, and with those certain Tenants which Purchaser notifies Seller in writing during the Inspection Period that Purchaser desires to conduct interviews and which Seller consents to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that such interviews shall take place during normal business hours after reasonable notice (which may be by telephone) to Seller, and such interviews shall be conducted only in the presence of one of Seller's representatives. Not withstanding the foregoing, (a) the costs and expenses of Purchaser's investigation shall be borne solely by Purchaser, (b) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition which existed prior to Purchaser's entry thereon and investigation thereof to the extent the condition of the Property was affected by or as a result of the actions of Purchaser or its agents, contractors or representatives, (c) Purchaser shall not, in Seller's reasonable opinion, materially interfere, interrupt or disrupt the operation of Seller's business on the Property and, further, such access by Purchaser and/or its agents shall be subject to the rights of Tenants under Tenant Leases, (d) in the event the transaction contemplated by this Contract does not close for any reason, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a descriptive listing of all tests, reports and inspections conducted by Purchaser with respect to the Property and deliver copies thereof to Seller (excluding, however, any proprietary development or marketing materials), (e) Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or materialman's liens or any other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any other party on Purchaser's behalf in connection with any studies or tests conducted pursuant to this Section 5.1, (f) Purchaser shall give notice (which may be by telephone) to Seller a reasonable time prior to entry onto the Property and shall permit Seller to have a representative present during all investigations and inspections conducted with respect to the Property, and (g) Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations and inspections of the Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto the Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons or the environment and cause no damage to the Property or other property of Seller or other persons. All information made available by Seller to Purchaser in accordance with this Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its investigations shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, and, prior to the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to prevent its agents and employees from divulging such information to any third parties except (i) as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Contract, including Purchaser's attorneys and representatives, prospective lenders and engineers or (ii) as may required by applicable law, unless such information is generally available to the public or is disclosed by a party other than Purchaser or its agents. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless for, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, causes of action, damages, liens, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incident to, resulting from or in any way arising out of any of Purchaser's and its agents', contractors' and representatives' activities on the Property, including, without limitation, any tests or inspections conducted by Purchaser or its agents, contractors or representatives on the Property. The agreements contained in this Section 5.1 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein and shall also survive any termination of this Contract.
