Testing; Rejection Sample Clauses
The "Testing; Rejection" clause establishes the right of a party to inspect and test goods or services upon delivery to ensure they meet agreed-upon specifications or standards. In practice, this clause allows the receiving party to conduct quality checks and, if the goods or services fail to conform, to reject them and require repair, replacement, or refund. Its core function is to protect the buyer from accepting defective or non-conforming products, thereby ensuring quality control and reducing the risk of disputes over substandard performance.
Testing; Rejection. No later than [***] days after receipt of the Batch (“Review Period”), Client or its designee shall notify Catalent whether the Batch conforms to Specifications. Upon receipt of notice from Client that a Batch meets Specifications, or upon failure of Client to respond by the end of the Review Period, the Batch shall be deemed accepted by Client and Client shall have no right to reject such Batch other than for defects which existed at the time of delivery and were not discovered or discoverable in the exercise of reasonable care (“Latent Defects”). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Batches failing to meet Specifications at the time of delivery due to Latent Defects may be rejected, if at all, only upon notice to Catalent within [***] days following the date on which such Latent Defect was discovered or should have been discovered in the exercise of reasonable care and (ii) in no event may Client reject Product after such Product’s expiration date. If Client or its designee timely notifies Catalent in writing (an “Exception Notice”) that a Batch does not conform to the Specifications or otherwise does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 12.1(A), whether due to a Latent Defect or otherwise (“Defective Product”), and provides a sample of the alleged Defective Product, Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation in its discretion to determine whether or not it agrees with Client that Product is Defective Product and to determine the cause of any nonconformity. If Catalent agrees that Product is Defective Product and determines that the cause of nonconformity is attributable to Catalent’s failure to perform the Processing in accordance with the Specifications (“Catalent Defective Processing”), then Section 5.4 shall apply. For avoidance of doubt, where the cause of nonconformity cannot be determined or assigned, it shall be deemed not Catalent Defective Processing.
Testing; Rejection. No later than [***] after Client’s or its designee’s receipt of a Batch (or Product samples intended for testing by Client) plus all relevant Batch Records and documents set forth in the Quality Agreement to be included with each released Batch (“Review Period”), Client shall notify Catalent whether such Batch conforms to the Specifications. Upon receipt of notice from Client that such Batch meets the Specifications, or upon failure of Client to respond by the end of the Review Period, such Batch shall be deemed accepted by Client and Client shall have no right to reject such Batch. If Client timely notifies Catalent in writing (an “Exception Notice”) that such Batch does not conform to the Specifications or otherwise does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 12.1(A) (“Defective Product”) and provides a sample of the alleged Defective Product, then Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation in its discretion to determine (i) whether Catalent agrees with Client that Product is Defective Product and (ii) the cause of any nonconformity. If Catalent agrees that Product is Defective Product and determines that the cause of nonconformity is attributable to Catalent’s [***] (“Catalent Defective Processing”), then Section 5.4 shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, where the cause of any nonconformity cannot be determined or assigned, it shall not be deemed Catalent Defective Processing.
Testing; Rejection. Following Palatin’s receipt of a shipment of a Batch, Palatin or Palatin’s designee may test samples of such Batch to confirm that the Specifications have been met.

Upon timely receipt of an Exception Notice from Palatin, Catalent shall in its sole discretion conduct an appropriate investigation to determine whether or not it agrees with Palatin that Product is Defective Product and to determine the cause of any nonconformity. If Catalent agrees that Product is Defective Product and determines that the cause of nonconformity is attributable to Catalent’s negligence or willful misconduct (“Catalent Defective Processing”), then Clause 5.4 shall apply.

If Supernus timely notifies Catalent in writing (an “Exception Notice”) that a Batch does not conform to the Specifications or otherwise does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 12.1 (“Defective Product”), then Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation to determine the cause of any nonconformity.

Catalent shall also if requested by FibroGen provide Product samples, and thereafter, FibroGen will, no later than [ ] (“FibroGen Review Period”), notify Catalent whether the Batch conforms to the Specifications. Upon receipt of notice from FibroGen that a Batch meets the Specifications, or upon failure of FibroGen to respond by the end of the FibroGen Review Period, the Batch shall be deemed accepted by FibroGen and FibroGen shall have no right to reject such Batch, except as set forth in Section 4.2.4 (“FibroGen Acceptance”).
