1.      GENERAL

These Terms and Conditions, the provisions of any document referring to these Terms and Conditions, any attachments thereto, and any samples, drawings or specifications referred to therein, shall collectively constitute the "Purchase Order".  This Purchase Order shall constitute our offer to purchase from you the products and/or services ordered (the “Products/Services”).  We may revoke this offer at any time before your acceptance.  Upon acceptance, you agree to sell and deliver the Products/Services to us in accordance with this Purchase Order.  You shall be deemed to have accepted this offer by sending us a written acknowledgment, by delivering the Products/Services ordered, or by commencement of work on the Products/Services.

WE OBJECT TO AND REJECT THE PROVISIONS OF ANY ACKNOWLEDGMENT, ORDER ACCEPTANCE, WARRANTY STATEMENT, OR INVOICE WHICH ARE INCONSISTENT WITH OR IN ADDITION TO THE  PROVISIONS OF THIS PURCHASE ORDER.  THIS PURCHASE ORDER SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT BETWEEN US WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS/SERVICES AND MAY BE MODIFIED ONLY IN WRITING SIGNED BY OUR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE AND BY YOU.  NO PRIOR PROPOSALS, QUOTATIONS, STATEMENTS, FORECASTS, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE WILL BE PART OF THE CONTRACT BETWEEN US.

In the event, however, of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and any terms and conditions set out in a written supply agreement or purchase agreement executed by the parties, then the terms and conditions in such supply agreement or purchase agreement will prevail. 

2.      COMMERCIAL TERMS

2.1    Price.  Prices for the Products/Services are not subject to increase, except as may be permitted below under “Changes”.  If no price is stated herein, the Products/Services shall be billed at the price last quoted by you, last paid by us or the prevailing market price for a like kind and quantity of goods/services, whichever is lowest. Price covers the net weight of material, packaging, labeling, agreed documentation and no extra charges of any kind (including charges for containers, insurance, packing, crating, storage, handling or cartage, interest charges, service charges and the like) will be allowed.  Unless prohibited by law, you will separately indicate on your invoice any tax that is required to be imposed on the sale of the Products/Services.

2.2    Changes.  All quantities ordered are estimates only and may be revised as our requirements change, unless otherwise agreed.  We may at any time make changes in Product/Services, including but not limited to, specifications, drawings, designs, deliverables, delivery dates, shipping instructions or other terms of the Purchase Order.  Such changes will be confirmed in writing signed by our authorized representative.  You must notify us within two (2) days of our notice whether such changes will affect price or time of delivery and, if price and time of delivery will be affected, within five (5) days of our notice to what extent.

2.3    Transportation.  Unless otherwise specified in a Purchase Order or specifically included in the pricing hereto, you agree to ship and provide the Products to us using our designated carrier with transportation charges billed directly to us by the carrier.  We will not pay premium transportation charges unless authorized by us in writing.  You will list any unauthorized charges not otherwise billed to us as a separate line item on your invoice.  If you ship Products by an unauthorized method or carrier, you will pay any resulting increased freight costs.  You will release rail or truck shipments at the lowest valuation permitted and will not declare value on Products shipped.

2.4    Title and Risk of Loss.  Delivery and title and risk of loss will pass to us FOB Destination in the US and DDP for the rest of the world at the premises specified in the Purchase Order (Incoterms 2010) unless otherwise stated in the Purchase Order.

2.5 Shipments.  You agree to assure deliveries and quantity of Product and completion of Services on the dates specified in this Purchase Order. 
All deliveries must be made during the opening hours of the unit receiving, and must likewise be made at the locations, deposits or warehouses stated on PO.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, time is of the essence.  In the event any Product shipment is not made in time for delivery on the date and in the quantity set forth on the Purchase Order, or if applicable, the Purchase Order is shipped without an approved/transacted Advance Shipment Notice, or Services are not commenced or completed as set forth on the Purchase Order, we may: (i) return to you some or all of the Products in the shipment at your risk and expense, including without limitation warehouse or handling cost; (ii) purchase substitute products and/or services elsewhere and charge you with any resulting loss; (iii) direct you to make an expedited shipment of additional or replacement Products, with the difference in cost between any expedited routing and the Purchase Order routing to be paid by you; or (iv)  debit you for costs incurred while manually receiving materials into SAP or equivalent program of ours.  You agree to notify us immediately if you ever have reason to believe that the Products/Services will not be delivered or completed as ordered, or a shipment will not be made as scheduled.

Delivery may be refused in absence of such information.

2.7    Inspection and Rejection.  All Products/Services delivered to us by you must meet the terms and conditions of this Purchase Order.  All Products/Services shall be received subject to our acceptance or rejection on or before the end of the Inspection Period. We may reject any entire order based upon a reasonable sampling of Products/Services.   “Inspection Period” means a reasonable time after delivery of any Products or completion of any Services, to allow for the performance of any inspection, installation activities, testing, or trials, but shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days.  Partial or total payment by us for Products/Services under this Purchase Order prior to the end of the Inspection Period shall not constitute its acceptance thereof, nor shall such payment remove your responsibility for any non-conforming items.  You agree to provide and maintain inspection and process control systems acceptable to us with respect to the manufacture of Products and performed Services, and you agree to keep and make available complete records of all your inspection work and process control work for 10 years or the product shelf life + 1 year.

2.8    Quality Assurance.  You shall apply, maintain and document a quality system that complies with cGMP/ISO or a comparable standard for guaranteeing that the Products/Services comply with the agreed quality.

2.9    Invoices.  Your Invoices shall contain the Purchase Order number, item number(s), invoice quantity, unit of measure, unit price, total invoice amount, your name and phone number, address to which remittance should be sent, and other such information as may be required by law or requested from time to time by us. Upon our request, your Invoices shall also contain the country of origin per item and applicable Harmonized Tariff number per item.

2.10  Payments.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we shall settle accurate invoices arising under this Purchase Order prepared in accordance with the terms hereof within sixty (60) days of receipt of invoice.  Such time period will not apply to the extent it does not comply with applicable law; in such event, the time period is hereby deemed modified in order to render it compliant with such law.  All sums to be paid by us under this Purchase Order shall be in the currency of the country of the カプスゲル purchasing entity, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

2.11  Set-Off.  We may deduct any amounts owed to us by you or any of your affiliates on any basis whatsoever under any order from the amount owed to you.  We may set-off such amounts owed us by right, regardless of whether the legal requirements for set-off have been met or not.

Any claims by us under this warranty provision will be submitted to you within two (2) years from date of delivery of the Products or completion of the Services; provided, however, that claims for latent defects shall be made within ninety (90) days of discovery of such defect.

2.13  Indemnification.  You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our customers harmless from and against any and all claims (including without limitation claims for infringement of intellectual property, breach of contract, death or injury to a person or injury to property, or other tort claims), liabilities, damages  (whether direct or indirect, incidental or consequential) and expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to the breach by you of any covenant, representation, certification, or warranty contained in this Purchase Order, or from any act or omission of you or your agents, employees or subcontractors.  We will notify you of any such claim, suit or proceeding and will assist you (at your expense) in the defense of the same.
