​Terms and Conditions

Canadian Life Science Inc.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

These Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale set forth the terms and conditions that apply to all sales of goods and services by means of a purchase order or other written order ("PO") received by Canadian Life Science Inc. or an affiliate in its global group of companies ("Calibre Scientific") to the entity identified in the PO as the buyer ("Buyer"). The terms and conditions included with Canadian Life Science’s written quotation (if any) ("Quotation") and acknowledgement of the PO or invoice with shipment ("Invoice") are incorporated herein by reference, and such terms and conditions together with these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale and including any written contract between the parties are referred to herein as the "Agreement." Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with the terms of the Quotation, PO, Invoice or these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale. The Agreement is formed between the Canadian Life Science entity listed on the Quotation or Invoice and Buyer when the Buyer receives confirmation that Canadian Life Science has accepted the PO.

  1. Agreement. Canadian Life Science or its affiliate shall provide the products ("Goods" or "Products") and perform the services ("Services") described in a Quotation in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. By submitting a PO, accepting shipment of Goods or the commencement of the performance of Services, Buyer shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, whether Buyer acknowledges or otherwise signs this Agreement or the Invoice, unless Buyer expressly objects to such terms in writing prior to accepting the Goods or commencing the performance of Services. This Agreement may not be added to, modified, superseded, or otherwise altered, except in writing signed by an authorized Canadian Life Science representative. Canadian Life Science shall not be bound by any different or additional terms or conditions (a) contained in any POs, pre-printed forms, online agreements, or in any other documents or communications issued by Buyer, or (b) arising from prior courses of dealing, usages of trade, or verbal agreements not reduced to writing and signed by Canadian Life Science. Any such different or additional terms or conditions are hereby rejected, and shall be deemed null and void, without the need for Canadian Life Science to expressly reject such terms. To the extent that an Invoice might be treated as an acceptance of Buyer’s PO, such acceptance is expressly made on condition of assent by Buyer to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Buyer's acceptance of the shipment of the Goods or commencement of the performance of Services shall constitute such assent. Any supplemental terms, such as label licenses or use restrictions included with the sale of goods or services hereunder, shall be in addition to, and if in conflict, shall take precedence over the conflicting terms of this Agreement.
  2. Changes. Canadian Life Science may at any time make changes in the specifications, designs, drawings, samples, qualities, prices, terms, conditions, requirements, or descriptions to which the Goods or Services are to conform. Canadian Life Science shall not be bound by the descriptions or specifications of the Goods or Services, or any other information contained in, any advertisement, publication, booklets, or pamphlets of Canadian Life Science. Nothing in this clause shall excuse Buyer from proceeding without delay to perform the PO as changed.
  3. Cancellations. A PO constitutes a firm offer and may not be revoked or cancelled at any time without the written consent of Canadian Life Science. Canadian Life Science hereby reserves the right to reschedule any delivery or cancel any PO issued at any time and Canadian Life Science shall not be subject to any charges or other fees because of such cancellation.
  4. Shipment. All Goods shall be suitably packed in Canadian Life Science’s standard shipment packaging, marked, and shipped in accordance with Canadian Life Science’s applicable specifications (or if no specifications are provided, in accordance with reasonable commercial practices) using a carrier of Canadian Life Science’s choice unless specified prior to the written order and is paid by the customer. Goods may be shipped, depending on lead time and availability, in instalments. Each instalment shall be invoiced and considered a separate sale. Unless otherwise agreed, Buyer shall clear any imported Goods at the point of import and pay all relevant duties.
  5. Delivery. Canadian Life Science shall make a commercially reasonable attempt to deliver the Goods at the time stated in the order confirmation (when applicable) but such dates are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Such dates shall not constitute a term or condition of the Agreement between Canadian Life Science and Buyer. Canadian Life Science accepts no liability whatsoever to meet such dates and such failure shall not entitle Buyer to repudiate or cancel a PO without the written consent of Canadian Life Science. If Canadian Life Science delivers any Goods in quantities that are less than the quantities specified in the PO, Buyer shall notify Canadian Life Science of the discrepancy and Canadian Life Science shall deliver the confirmed missing allotment of Goods. If Canadian Life Science delivers any Goods in quantities in excess of the quantities specified in the PO, Buyer shall return the amount of the over shipment to Canadian Life Science or notify Canadian Life Science of intention to retain such over shipment. Buyer shall pay for those quantities of Goods actually accepted by Buyer.
  6. Inspection. Buyer shall immediately inspect all deliveries for damage upon receipt and if any damage is noticed, Buyer shall accept the shipment only after the driver has noted the damage on both carrier’s and Buyer’s copies of the delivery receipt. Buyer shall promptly inspect all shipments for concealed shipping damage, defects, or shortages, and notify Canadian Life Science of any such damage, defect, or shortage. Buyer’s failure to notify Canadian Life Science within seven (7) days of delivery (or Buyer’s non-receipt the Goods in the case of non-delivery) of defects or shortages reasonably discoverable upon inspection will be a waiver of any right to make any claim relating to the defective or missing Goods, including, without limitation, under the warranty set forth herein.
  7. Acceptance. [Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, or as required by law, acceptance shall be deemed to be effected seven (7) days after the date of delivery or installation of the Products or the performance of the Services.] No Goods returns will be accepted without the prior approval of Canadian Life Science. All claims must be received within 7 days following receipt of the Goods. Buyer must obtain a return authorization number and return the Goods by the specified courier following the approved shipping guidelines. The Goods must be returned in original condition. Canadian Life Science reserves the right to charge a restocking fee for conforming Goods.
  8. Prices and Payment. All prices for the purchase of Products or Services from Canadian Life Science are in the currency stated on the Invoice and are exclusive of all taxes, excises, freight and insurance. Buyer shall be liable for such taxes, excises, freight and insurance and these will appear as a separate item on Canadian Life Science’s invoice. If no price is stated, the price shall be Canadian Life Science’s then current published price applicable in the country where the Buyer is located. Payment shall be made as set forth in the Quotation or invoice (and in no event more than thirty (30) days from date of Invoice). In the event of a reasonable dispute, Canadian Life Science may, in its sole discretion, stay enforcement of collections beyond thirty (30) days. Canadian Life Science may change the terms of credit provided in its sole discretion, or deny the extension of credit altogether.
  9. Overdue Accounts. If Canadian Life Science incurs legal and/or collection agent costs in relation to Buyer’s overdue account, then Canadian Life Science has the right to charge such costs to the Buyer’s account. In addition to these costs, Canadian Life Science may charge interest on overdue accounts at the rate of 1.5% per month or 18% per annum, or such lower amount as required by law, from the date at which the account becomes overdue.
  10. Limited License. Subject to the Agreement, and to the terms and conditions of any license provided by Canadian Life Science that is specific to a particular product (which shall govern with respect to such product in the event of conflict with the terms herein), Canadian Life Science hereby grants to Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Good(s) provided to Buyer by Canadian Life Science only in accordance with the written published manuals and instructions provided by Canadian Life Science. Buyer understands and agrees that except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (or in the Canadian Life Science-provided license specific to a particular Good), no right or license to any patent or other intellectual property owned or licensable by Canadian Life Science is conveyed or implied by this Agreement. In particular, no right or license is conveyed or implied to use any Goods provided hereunder in combination with a product not provided, licensed or specifically recommended by Canadian Life Science for such use. This limited license only permits the Buyer to use the Goods in accordance with local laws and regulations in Buyer’s normal course of business.
  11. Use Restrictions. Buyer is not licensed to, and agrees not to: (a) resell, transfer, or distribute any Canadian Life Science-supplied Goods, directly or indirectly to any third party for any purpose or use, unless otherwise authorized by Canadian Life Science in writing Buyer also agrees not to re-export Products from the country or region in which Products were originally purchased.
  12. Warranty. The warranty provided hereunder is only applicable to the Buyer. No third-party claims will be honored.

THIS WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER TO A SUBSEQUENT OWNER. FURTHER, CANADIAN LIFE SCIENCE IS NOT LIABLE IN CASES OF DELIBERATE, NEGLIGENT OR ACCIDENTAL MISUSE OF THE GOODS, USE WITH INAPPROPRIATE REAGENTS OR CONSUMABLES, DAMAGE CAUSED BY DISASTER, REPAIR OR MODIFICATIONS DONE BY ANYONE OTHER THAN CANADIAN LIFE SCIENCE. CANADIAN LIFE SCIENCE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE GOODS OR SERVICES WILL NOT INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY EITHER ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER PRODUCTS OR IN THE OPERATION OF ANY PROCESS. CANADIAN LIFE SCIENCE’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF THESE WARRANTIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GROSS PURCHASE PRICE OF THE RELEVANT PURCHASE ORDER UNDER WHICH THE ACTIVITY GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY ARISES.

  18. Intellectual Property. All intellectual property rights relating to the Goods or Services, as between Buyer and Canadian Life Science, are solely and exclusively owned by Canadian Life Science or its licensors. Unless otherwise expressly provided, Canadian Life Science’s sale of Goods to Buyer only grants Buyer a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right under such intellectual property, for Buyer to use the quantity of the products purchased from Canadian Life Science. No right to resell Canadian Life Science products or any of their components is conveyed expressly, by implication, or by estoppel. Nothing in this Agreement limits Canadian Life Science’s right to enforce its intellectual property rights.
    1. Buyer shall immediately notify Canadian Life Science in writing of any intellectual property claim against Buyer in relation to the Goods. In the event that Canadian Life Science choses to defend the claim, Buyer shall (i) not admit any liability or take any action in connection with the claim, (ii) give Canadian Life Science sole control of the defense or settlement of any such claim, (iii) provide reasonable information and assistance in such defense. If Canadian Life Science concludes that the Goods infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party, Canadian              Life Science may in its sole discretion (i) secure the right for Buyer to continue use of the Goods, (ii) replace the Goods with similar Goods, or (iii) require Buyer to return the Goods and provide Buyer with a refund of the purchase price, with a deduction in a reasonable amount for the Goods’ use, damage, and obsolescence.

CANADIAN LIFE SCIENCE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR CHARGES IN EXCESS OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES.
  20. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state or province of the country which is identified on the purchase agreement. The parties expressly agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. Buyer irrevocably submits and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the applicable courts specified in this Section, and hereby agrees that such courts shall be the exclusive proper forum for the determination of any action, proceeding or claim arising from or relating to this Agreement. Any legal action must be brought within one year after the claim or cause of action occurs.

  22. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between Buyer and Canadian Life Science is that of buyer and seller, as independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship between Canadian Life Science and Buyer, and neither Buyer nor Canadian Life Science shall have the authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.
  23. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of Buyer and Canadian Life Science and nothing herein, express, or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever hereunder.
  24. Force Majeure. Canadian Life Science shall not be liable for any delay or failure of performance, including without limitation, the failure to deliver the Goods, where such delay or failure arises or results from any cause beyond the reasonable control of Canadian Life Science, including but not limited to, flood, unusually severe weather, earthquake or other act of nature, power loss, strike, boycott, or other labor disputes, embargo, governmental regulation, or an inability or delay in obtaining materials. In the event of such delay or failure of performance, Canadian Life Science shall have such additional time within which to perform its obligations hereunder as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances.
  25. Export Control. The Goods are subject to United States, Canadian, European Union and local export-control laws and regulations. Buyer may not, directly or indirectly, sell, export, re-export, transfer, divert, or otherwise dispose of any Goods to any destination, entity, or person prohibited by United States, Canadian, European Union or local laws or regulations.
  26. Resale and Anti-Corruption Compliance. If Canadian Life Science believes that Buyer is purchasing Goods other than for its own account without Canadian Life Science’s consent, Canadian Life Science reserves the right to cancel any PO and withhold delivery of any Goods. To the extent that Canadian Life Science does consent to Buyer’s resale of the Goods, Buyer certifies that it is familiar with and understands the requirements of anti-corruption laws and international anti-corruption standards, including but not limited to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, and all national anti-corruption laws enacted in any country in which it operates (collectively, the "Anti-Corruption Laws"). Buyer shall not violate or permit anyone acting on its behalf to violate the Anti-Corruption Laws. Specifically, Buyer has not made and will not make, promise to make, offer, or authorize, directly or indirectly, any payment, or provide or offer anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any public officials, political parties, party officials, candidates for public or political party office, public international organizations and their employees, agents and officials, or employees or officials of any purchasing entities (whether publicly owned or private) of Canadian Life Science’s products/services, in order to (1) improperly influence the acts of such public officials, political parties, party officials, candidates, public international organizations and their employees, agents and officials, or employees or officials of purchasing entities, (2) improperly induce them to use their influence with a government to obtain or retain business, or (3) gain an improper advantage, in connection with any business venture or contract.

Buyer consents to injunctive and other equitable interim or permanent relief as may be requested by Canadian Life Science and awarded by a court. No waiver or breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or breach.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Notice is effective only (a) upon receipt of the receiving party, and (b) if the party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.
  29. Severability. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction finds any term or clause in this Agreement to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the same will not have an impact on other terms or clauses in the Agreement or the entire Agreement. However, such a term or clause may be revised to the extent required according to the opinion of the court to render the Agreement enforceable or valid, and the rights and responsibilities of the parties shall be interpreted and enforced accordingly, so as to preserve their agreement and intent to the fullest possible extent.
  30. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between Buyer and Canadian Life Science with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous writings, communications, agreements and understandings relating to the same subject matter.
