GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PRODUCT SALES

These General Terms and Conditions for Product Sales (“Terms and Conditions”) govern the sales of all products (“Products”) sold by Heath Consultants Incorporated (“Heath”) to a third party (“Buyer”) based upon an estimate, purchase order acknowledgment or similar written document (a “Proposal”) signed by an authorized representative of Heath and provided to Buyer. Any Proposal incorporates these Terms and Conditions, whether or not such Proposal explicitly mentions and/or refers to these Terms and Conditions, and such Proposal and these Terms and Conditions comprise the entire agreement between Heath and Buyer, such agreement herein referred to as the “Order.”

  1. Offer and Acceptance: Heath sells and delivers the Products in accordance with the Order. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions on one hand and the Proposal on the other hand, these Terms and Conditions shall govern, unless the Proposal expressly states that the terms and conditions of the Proposal shall control. Heath hereby objects to and rejects any additional or different terms proposed by Buyer, including those contained in Buyer’s purchase order, unless Heath expressly agrees to Buyer’s terms and conditions in writing. The delivery of Products to Buyer does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend the Order.
  2. Title and Delivery: Unless otherwise specified, shipments shall be delivered FCA Heath’s shipping dock. The provisions of the “Incoterms” (published by International Chamber of Commerce) valid at the date of the Proposal shall apply only insofar as the same are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions stated herein. Title and liability for loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon Heath’s delivery of the Products to the designated carrier at Heath’s shipping dock. Any subsequent loss or damage shall not relieve Buyer from its contractual obligations. Heath shall not be liable for any damages, losses or expenses of any kind incurred by Buyer if Heath fails to meet estimated delivery dates.
  3. Software License: If and to the extent the Products include any software or other intellectual property rights of Heath (the “Bundled Software”), Heath hereby grants to Buyer a license to use such Bundled Software free of any charge in addition to the purchase price for the Products set forth in the Order and on a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and perpetual basis, but only to the extent necessary to enable Buyer to use the Products in accordance with their intended and reasonable use. Buyer confirms that it shall only use the Bundled Software for Buyer’s internal business operations and not for resale. Buyer is prohibited from outsourcing, renting or time-sharing the Bundled Software.
  4. Restrictions: All rights provided to Buyer under this Order in relation to the Products (including the Bundled Software) are provided to Buyer on the condition that Buyer shall not, and shall not allow any third party to, copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, disassemble, or decompile the Product (including the Bundled Software), or any part thereof, or otherwise attempt to discover any source code of the Bundled Software, modify the Products in any manner or form, including for the purpose of building a similar or competitive product or service or for the purpose of obtaining unauthorized access to the Products. Buyer is expressly prohibited from licensing use of, or granting access to the Product (including the Bundled Software) to any third parties other than Buyer employees and contractors performing services for the internal business operations of Buyer (collectively “Authorized Users”). Buyer is responsible for the compliance of all Authorized Users with the terms of this Order and any other terms related to the Bundled Software.
  5. Payment Terms:

a. Remittance: Invoices are due and payable in full in Houston, Harris County, Texas in U.S. currency. All payments shall be made within 30 days after the date of the invoice. Buyer shall pay the price of the Products without setoff, counterclaim, or any other rights which Buyer may have against Seller. If payment is due on a non-banking day when banks are not open to transmit or receive funds, payment shall be remitted on the banking day immediately preceding the due date.

b. Late Payment. If Buyer fails to pay by the due date thereof any sum required to be paid by Buyer to Heath, Buyer will pay to Heath delinquent payment interest on the delinquent amount from the due date thereof until the date paid at the rate of the lesser of (i) 1½% per month (18% per annum) or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Buyer shall also pay Heath all reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Heath in connection with Heath’s efforts to collect such delinquent payment or payments.

c. Taxes. Prices quoted by Heath to Buyer do not include applicable taxes or duties. Buyer shall bear and pay all taxes (excluding Seller’s income taxes), duties, levies and other similar charges imposed, levied by any governmental authority arising out of, in connection with, or relating to the Order, including, without limitation, withholding, sales, use, value added, registration, excise, documentary taxes, duties, levies and other charges.

  1. Returns. No returns allowed unless authorized by Heath in writing in advance.
  2. Contingencies: Heath shall not be in breach of the Order and shall not be liable for any non-performance or delay in performance if such non-performance or delay is due to a force majeure event of any kind or other circumstances beyond Heath’s reasonable control, including but not limited to, shortages of labor, epidemic, energy, fuel, machinery or materials, technical or yield failures, war, civil unrest, any government act, law or regulation, including any judicial order or decree, any communication or power failure, labor dispute, natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, terrorist act or Act of God.
  3. Warranties and Related Remedies:

a. Heath warrants that Heath Products will conform either to Heath’s published specifications for such Product or other mutually agreed upon written specifications signed by an authorized Heath representative. For finished Products, this warranty lasts for one year after the date Heath delivers such Products to Buyer in accordance with Section 2 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Heath shall not be liable for any defects that are caused by neglect, misuse, or mistreatment by an entity other than Heath, including improper installation or testing, or for any Products that have been altered or modified in any way by an entity other than Heath. Moreover, Heath shall not be liable for any defects that result from or relate to Buyer’s design, specifications, or instructions for such Products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent Heath deems necessary in its sole discretion. Unless mandated by government requirements, Heath is under no obligation to, and may not, test all parameters of each Product.

b. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.” HEATH DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING SUCH PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FURTHER, HEATH DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT THE BUNDLED SOFTWARE WILL BE SECURE, TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE PRODUCT WILL MEET BUYER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE PRODUCT WILL BE CORRECTED. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN SECTION 8(A) ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY HEATH IN RELATION TO THE PRODUCT (INCLUDING THE BUNDLED SOFTWARE). THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED TO BUYER ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY. BUYER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING WHETHER THE PRODUCT OR THE INFORMATION GENERATED THEREBY IS ACCURATE OR SUFFICIENT FOR BUYER’S PURPOSES. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RELIED ON NO WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 8(A) OF THIS AGREEMENT.

c. Buyer agrees that prior to using or distributing any systems that include Heath Products, Buyer will thoroughly test such systems and the functionality of such Heath Products as used in such systems. Heath may, at its option, provide technical, applications or design advice, or other services. Buyer agrees that providing these services shall not expand or otherwise alter Heath’s warranties, as set forth above, and no additional obligations or liabilities shall arise from Heath providing such services.

  1. Indemnity, Limitations, and Damages Disclaimer:

a. General Limitations. IN NO EVENT SHALL HEATH BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS ORDER OR THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS PROVIDED HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HEATH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NO CLAIM, SUIT OR ACTION SHALL BE BROUGHT AGAINST HEATH MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE RELATED CAUSE OF ACTION HAS OCCURRED.

b. Specific Limitations.

I. IN NO EVENT SHALL HEATH’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FROM ANY WARRANTY, INDEMNITY, OR OTHER OBLIGATION ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATING TO THIS ORDER, OR THE USE OF ANY HEATH PRODUCT PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EXCEED THE LESSER OF (X) TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO HEATH FOR THE PARTICULAR PRODUCTS SOLD UNDER THIS ORDER WITH RESPECT TO WHICH LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED OR (Y) $50,000. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM AGAINST THE PARTICULAR PRODUCTS SOLD TO BUYER UNDER THIS ORDER SHALL NOT ENLARGE OR EXTEND THIS LIMIT.

II. NOTHING IN THIS ORDER SHALL BE INTERPRETED AS REQUIRING HEATH TO INDEMNIFY BUYER OR ANY OF BUYER’S INDEMNITEES (INCLUDING A THIRD PARTY) FOR ANY HARM CAUSED BY THE IMPROPER CALIBRATION OF THE PRODUCTS, ANY USE OF THE PRODUCTS THAT IS UNSAFE OR CONTRARY TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY HEATH, OR THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE PRODUCTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY HEATH.

c. Indemnity. Subject to the two preceding subsections, each party to this Order shall indemnify, and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from all losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses of any kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which one party, its agents, employees, and subcontractors may incur, become legally responsible for, or pay out as a result of bodily injury, including death, to any person, damage to any property, or both, to the extent caused by the other party’s negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall either party be obligated to indemnify or be held responsible, in any manner whatsoever, for the negligence of the other party, or the negligence of a third party. This indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement.

  1. Representation of Solvency. Buyer agrees to neither order nor accept Products from Heath while insolvent within the meaning of Section 1.201(23) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code (“UCC”).

Mediation and arbitration shall be held Harris County, Texas. The arbitrator shall have authority to issue any award allowed under this Agreement.
