7a. Seller’s Warranties on Services.

Seller shall always act diligently in the performance of the services. If a breach of warranty occurs, Seller shall re-perform, at Seller’s expense, any portion of the services which are defective until such non-compliance is corrected, without waiving any other rights, return for credit, or replacement of the nonconforming services. Seller’s warranties shall survive acceptance and payment and shall run to Buyer, its successors, assigns, customers and users of the services and shall not be deemed to be exclusive. The warranty period shall be the longer of: (i) one (1) year from the date of this Order; and (ii) the express term provided in this Order.

Seller’s warranties shall survive acceptance and payment and shall run to Buyer, its successors, assigns, customers and users of the goods and shall not be deemed to be exclusive.

8. Intellectual Property. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents, shareholders, employees, representatives, suppliers and subcontractors, successors and assigns, and all of their customers and users of any product and/or service (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, costs and expenses (including reasonable lawyers’ fees) (collectively, the “Losses”) suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with any claim, demand, suit or judgment involving any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights (“Intellectual Property Rights”) in connection with the manufacture, use or disposition of any goods, article, material or service supplied by Seller. Seller will, at its expense, defend all claims, actions or proceedings against Buyer relating to or based on any allegation that the goods and/or services, or any part thereof, constitutes an infringement upon, or a misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights and will pay to Buyer all resulting Losses incurred by Buyer. Buyer will give Seller written notice of any such claim, action or proceeding and, at the request and expense of Seller, provide all available information, assistance and authority required to conduct its defence. If all or any part of the goods and/or services is finally determined to constitute an infringement or misappropriation of Intellectual Property Rights of a third party, or if Buyer is enjoined from using any of the goods and/or services or Intellectual Property Rights embodied therein as a result of an infringement or misappropriation claim, Seller will at its expense promptly: (i) obtain for Buyer the right to continue using the goods and/or services; (ii) replace the infringing elements of the goods and/or services with non-infringing elements, while maintaining the full functionality, integrity and performance capabilities of the services; or (iii) modify the goods and/or services so that it no longer infringes, while maintaining the full functionality, integrity and performance capabilities of such goods and/or  services.

9. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with any actual or alleged damage to property or injury (including death) to any person arising from or in connection with the goods and/or services provided by Seller or the use thereof, Seller’s performance under this Order, or Seller’s performance of work on Buyer’s premises or use of Buyer’s property, either on or off of Buyer’s premises, except for such Losses arising solely out of the gross negligence of Buyer.

10. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer shall not be liable to Seller, its employees, representatives, agents, suppliers, or subcontractors for any loss of anticipated profits or incidental damages (except to the extent expressly provided in Section 12) or consequential damages. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer’s liability for any claim arising directly or indirectly under or in connection with the Order shall in no event exceed the cost of the goods and/or services giving rise to the claim. Buyer shall have no liability for penalties of any kind.

11. Laws and Regulations. Seller shall comply with all applicable laws (including federal, provincial and municipal statutes, regulations and bylaws) of whatever nature concerning the supply of the goods and/or performance of the services. Unless otherwise specified in the Order, Seller will obtain, at its cost, all permits and other consents required in respect of the goods and/or services.

12. Termination for Convenience. Buyer may, by written notice to Seller, terminate the Order, or any part thereof, for any or no reason, for Buyer’s convenience. Upon notice of termination, Seller shall immediately stop all work and cause its suppliers and/or subcontractors to stop all work in connection with the Order. If Buyer terminates for convenience, Buyer shall pay Seller for goods and/or services accepted as of the date of termination, and, subject to Section 10, for Seller’s actual, reasonable, out of pocket costs incurred directly as a result of such termination. Buyer shall have no responsibility for work performed after Seller’s receipt of notice of termination.

13. Termination for Cause. Buyer may, by written notice to Seller, terminate the Order, or any part thereof, if Seller breaches any of the terms and conditions of the Order, becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt. By way of example, (i) failure by Seller to make timely, complete and conforming delivery of goods and/or services, or (ii) breach of the representations or warranties set forth in the Order, shall entitle Buyer to terminate the Order for cause. If Buyer terminates for cause, Buyer shall have no payment obligations to Seller. Should a court of competent jurisdiction subsequently determine that Buyer’s termination for cause was wrongful or unjustified, then such termination shall be automatically considered a termination for convenience under Section 12 and Seller shall have all rights under that provision, but no other rights or claims for damages.

14. Confidentiality. Seller acknowledges that it may, in providing the performance of its services under the Order, be exposed to or acquire proprietary confidential information of Buyer or any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, information or materials concerning any of Buyer’s or any such affiliate’s customers, organization, work, know-how, processes, manufacturing techniques or technology (“Confidential Information”). Seller agrees to hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and not to copy, reproduce, sell, assign, license, market, transfer, or otherwise disclose to any person or entity any such Confidential Information or to use any of such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of Seller’s obligations under the Order. Seller agrees to notify its agents, employees and subcontractors of this confidentiality requirement and to obligate them in writing to abide by it for the express benefit of Buyer and its affiliates.

15. Use of Buyer’s Name. Seller shall hold the business relationship with Buyer and any Buyer’s affiliate in strict confidence and shall not publish any advertising, promotion or other printed material or show any presentations or participate in any other activity which would disclose that it had or has a business relationship with Buyer or its affiliates and/or any details of that relationship.

16. Survival; Remedies Cumulative. All agreements, representations and warranties of Seller herein (including without limitation those regarding confidentiality and indemnification) shall survive delivery and final payment or an earlier termination of any Order. All of the rights and remedies available to Buyer under any Order are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the rights and remedies otherwise available at law or in equity.

17. Governing Law. This Order and the conduct of the parties with respect to the formation and performance of this Order are governed by and are to be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in Ontario. The parties irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Ontario and the Federal Court of Canada.

18. Miscellaneous. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provisions of any Order shall not affect the continuation in force of the remainder of said Order. No waiver of any obligation of Seller shall be effective unless in writing signed by Buyer and no waiver in any single instance shall be considered a waiver of any other or similar obligation. Any Order shall inure to the benefit of Buyer and its successors and assigns, shall be binding upon Seller and its successors and assigns and may not be assigned or delegated by Seller without the express written consent of Buyer.

19. Dispute Resolution. All disputes, disagreements, controversies, questions or claims arising out of or relating to this Order, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or arising from this Order, including with respect to this Order’s formation, execution, validity, application, interpretation, performance, breach, termination or enforcement, will be determined by litigation in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario at Ottawa, to the jurisdiction of which the parties irrevocably attorn.
