1. PROVISION OF THE PRODUCT
- The Voltera product is the applicable printer or other hardware device or product (the “Device”) as more particularly described in an ordering document agreed to by the parties (each an “Order Form”), firmware included in such Device (“Firmware”) and any applicable software that runs or supports the applicable Device or any software otherwise provided by Voltera (the “Software”), whether installed on Customer’s computers or hosted by Voltera or its service providers). Device, Firmware and Software are collectively the “Product”.
- Customer may submit a purchase order (“Purchase Order(s)”) in writing or electronically to Voltera for purchase of the Device(s). All Purchase Orders placed by Customer are subject to Voltera’s written acceptance and an Order Form executed by the parties. The following additional provisions apply to your purchase of the Device:
- Upon execution of the applicable Order Form by both parties, the Order Form shall be deemed accepted.
- In the event an Order Form cannot be fulfilled as specified in the Order Form, for reasons outside of its control, Voltera may terminate the Order Form without liability. If the Order Form is terminated by Voltera after acceptance, Voltera agrees to negotiate in good faith to determine a reasonable solution for the replacement of such order. If the parties cannot agree to a reasonable solution, Voltera shall refund Customer all Fees (defined below) related to the Order Form.
- Voltera and Customer shall agree to the location of delivery, delivery date, insurance coverage and any additional terms for each Order Form in the Order Form. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Voltera shall determine the method and carrier for shipping. If available, Customer may elect to purchase shipping insurance for an Order Form by indicating it as a separate line item on the Order Form or procure appropriate insurance coverage at its own expense. Voltera shall not in any way be held liable for any delay, damage or destruction of any of Order Forms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Voltera shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Product by the delivery date, and in the event there is damage or destruction to an Order Form, it shall cooperate in good faith with Customer to determine a reasonable solution.
- Title to any Device bought by you shall pass to you upon your full payment of all Fees for such Product. Notwithstanding any agreement between the parties concerning the transfer of title or responsibility for shipping costs, risk of loss to any Product under an Order Form shall pass to Customer pursuant to the shipping terms indicated in the Order Form. If no such terms are clearly stated in the Order Form, then risk of loss to such Product shall pass to Customer upon receipt of shipment by carrier and Customer shall bear the risk of loss during shipment to delivery location.
- You acknowledge and agree that Voltera will exercise no control over your use of the Product, that you are solely responsible for complying with the provisions of this Agreement and all applicable laws, ordinances, codes and regulations of governmental agencies (including import and export laws and regulations), including federal, provincial, state, municipal and local governing bodies, of any country having jurisdiction over your use of the Product, and that Voltera has no liability whatsoever relating to your usage of the Product. Without limiting the foregoing, the Product is not intended for use with (whether direct or indirect), industrial, commercial, military or medical equipment, and is not intended for any use where failure or fault of the Product could directly or indirectly cause risk or damage to life or property, or in any mission-critical or time-sensitive application. Any such use is entirely at your discretion and risk, and shall void the warranty contained in this Agreement.
- Within five (5) days of receipt of delivery, Customer shall inspect all Product received under an Order Form and notify Voltera, in writing, of any goods that are non-compliant with the Product specifications provided by Voltera under an Order Form (“Objection Notice”).
