BACKGROUND

 

Velara Global is a supplier of proprietary products including a handheld water pitcher system called Hydra Pitcher that filters, purifies, alkalizes, mineralizes, ionizes and creates micro-clustered water with high anti-oxidant properties and Purchaser wishes to purchase Velara’s product to sell to home owners. Velara agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, the products described below, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, for distribution by Purchaser under its own trade name.

AGREEMENT

      Velara and Purchaser agree as follows:

      1. Purchase and Sale Obligations.

            1.1 General. Velara hereby appoints Purchaser as Velara's reseller of the products specified on Schedule A (Products) attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Products"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to purchase, and Velara agrees to sell the Products.

            1.2 Minimum Purchase Commitment and Exclusivity. Purchaser agrees to order from Velara for delivery during each Contract Year during the term of this Agreement, the minimum number of Products, per Contract Year, as is specified on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein (the "Minimum Purchase Commitment"). Contract Year shall mean each twelve (12)-month period commencing with the date Products are first available for shipment to Purchaser. Velara agrees, subject to Purchaser's strict compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement including, without limitation, Purchaser's compliance with the Minimum Purchase Commitment that it will not, directly or indirectly, knowingly sell products with the private label name of the Products in competition with the Products. The failure to meet the Minimum Purchase Commitment shall not constitute an Event of Default as defined in Section 14.2 (Termination Upon Event of Default) of this Agreement unless and/or until the amount Purchaser orders for delivery during any Contract Year falls below seventy-five percent (75%) of the then applicable Minimum Purchase Commitment. Velara agrees to disclose to Purchaser any inquiries, sales leads or information it receives from potential purchasers of Products in territories set forth in Section 1.1 (General).

            1.3 Governmental Rules and Regulations. Velara's obligation to ship orders to Purchaser under this Agreement shall be subject to Velara's right and ability to make such sales and obtain required licenses and permits, under all applicable decrees, statutes, rules and regulations of a government and/or agency with competent jurisdiction presently in effect or which may be in effect hereafter.

 2. Orders, Payment and Delivery.

            2.1 Orders. Purchaser shall order Products from Velara under this Agreement by submitting to Velara a written purchase order specifying the Products, quantities and requested delivery dates required to enable Velara to fill the order. Each purchase order submitted to Velara is subject to acceptance by Velara at its offices to which such order was submitted. Velara shall have no liability to Purchaser with respect to orders which are not accepted by Velara; provided, however, that Velara will not unreasonably reject any orders for Products which do not require any modifications or additions, other than the modifications of Velara's products specified in Section 3.1 (Customization for the Hydra Pitcher Market) hereto. Subject to the foregoing, Velara may reject, in its sole discretion, any order for customized Products. In the event Velara has not given Purchaser notice of acceptance or rejection of a purchase order within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof, such order shall be deemed accepted. The purpose of the purchase order to be issued under this Agreement is for specifying the Products, quantities and requested delivery dates only; no terms and conditions of Purchaser's purchase orders, Velara's order acknowledgment or any other document or instrument of Purchaser or Velara shall be binding upon the other party or amend or modify this Agreement in any manner.

to the technical specifications described on Schedule A (Products), damage in connection with bodily injury and property damage arising out of any defect in the Products made intentionally, unintentionally or negligently by Velara during manufacturing and packaging, and the breach of any material provision of this agreement by Velara. If no such notice of rejection is received, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted delivery provided; however, the acceptance of delivery shall in no way diminish or affect the product warranty given by Velara in Section 6 (Warranty and Repairs). If Purchaser rejects a shipment, Purchaser shall promptly return a sample of the defective Product to Velara in accordance with Velara's instructions, to enable Velara to, within thirty (30) days, inspect and determine whether the Product is defective; provided that Purchaser shall retain the rest of the Products pending such determination. It is Purchaser's responsibility to properly store and handle all Products pending inspection and/or return. If rejection was timely effected and Velara determines the Products to be defective, Velara agrees to repair or replace the Products or cancel an unpaid invoice or refund the amounts paid with respect to such defective Product which is returned to Velara, at Velara's option.

      Unless Purchaser requests otherwise, all Products ordered by Purchaser shall be packed for shipment and storage in accordance with Schedule A (Products). It is Purchaser's obligation to notify Velara of any special packaging requirements (which shall be at Purchaser's expense).

            2.4 Payment. Purchaser agrees to pay amounts invoiced by Velara for Products without offset or deduction for any reason whatsoever except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3 (Shipment and Delivery), payment terms shall be 1/3 upon order placement and 2/3 upon delivery. If Purchaser fails to pay any amount when due, Purchaser agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Velara in collecting such overdue amounts, together with interest on such unpaid amount at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month or the greatest amount permitted by applicable law. Velara reserves the right at any time after Purchaser fails to make any payment within sixty (60) days after the due date, to require payment for all Products delivered hereunder to be made by irrevocable letter of credit. If Velara elects to have payment made by letter of credit, Purchaser shall select the issuing bank, which must be acceptable to Velara. Any such letter of credit shall be governed by Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UPC) 500.

            2.6 Forecasts. Purchaser shall submit a rolling twelve (12)-month sales forecast to Velara every twelve (12) months on the first day of the calendar month first following the Effective Date of this Agreement. Such sales forecast shall include expected sales quantities per month, order dates, shipping dates and Product requirements. If the most recent forecast becomes materially inaccurate at any time, Purchaser shall promptly provide Velara with updated information.  The Purchaser shall issue a purchase order and purchase the Products included in the first three (3) months of each forecast, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 (Orders).

            3.3 Discontinued Products. Velara agrees to notify Purchaser in writing not less than six (6) months in advance of the discontinuance of any Product. In the event Velara is unable to manufacture the Products for Purchaser (due to bankruptcy, fire, or other event of force majeure), then Purchaser will have the right to manufacture the Products (or have the Products manufactured for Purchaser), and, in exchange, pay a reasonable royalty or license fee for such right.
