TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE ORDER

Prestone Products LLC. or its affiliates (“PRESTONE”) agree to purchase and Seller (as defined in the PO) agrees to supply the goods (the “Goods”) and/or services (“Services”) set out in the purchase order (“PO”) to which these terms and conditions (“Terms”) are attached, subject to the following:

  1. Affiliates. The affiliates of PRESTONE include all of PRESTONE’s named companies around the world as well as affiliates operating under the following names: Recochem, KOST, Holt Loyd, Adam’s Polishes, B&B Blending, Paint Over Rust, International Coolant Formulations, Luyten, Red Rocks, Ultra Clear, Auto-Chem and Napierville Refineries.
  2. Acceptance of Order. These Terms, the PO and any attachments or schedules attached thereto (collectively, the “Order”) constitute the full and complete agreement between the parties in relation to the purchase by PRESTONE of the Goods and Services from Seller. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the present PO and its Terms, the Seller shall transmit to PRESTONE a written acknowledgement of the present PO which will act as the acceptance of the present PO and of all of its Terms by the Seller. No terms and conditions of any offer, letter, contract, purchase order, invoice or other document submitted or issued by Seller in connection with this Order shall amend, add to, vary or modify these Terms. Any modification of the Terms will be deemed refused by PRESTONE unless there is a formal acceptance in writing by PRESTONE. Failing the receipt, by PRESTONE, of the written acknowledgement of the Seller, the delivery, even partial, of the Goods or Services, will be considered as the acceptance of the PO, including all its Terms, by the Seller. If a written agreement signed by both parties is in existence covering the purchase of Goods and Services (“Master Agreement”), covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.
  3. Cancellation and Changes. PRESTONE may, at any time, upon notice to Seller, without cause and without liability to PRESTONE, cancel or change the Order, in whole or part, prior to shipment. The Order may not be otherwise amended unless there is a written document signed by both parties. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms, PRESTONE may terminate this Order immediately, without liability, and without limiting any of PRESTONE’s other rights or remedies, upon written notice to Seller if: (a) Seller is in breach of any of its obligations under these Terms; (b) Seller is in breach of any of its representations or warranties; (c) an action or claim against Seller may, in PRESTONE’s reasonable opinion, harm Seller’s continued business operations; (d) Seller becomes insolvent or bankrupt; or (e) either party is unable to carry out its obligations under the Order by reason of a force majeure event, meaning any delay or state of affairs beyond the control of a party which causes either party to be unable to fulfill, or to be delayed or restricted in the fulfillment of, an obligation, including acts of god, restrictions, prohibitions, priorities or allocations imposed or actions taken by a governmental authority, or acts of war. Seller’s ability to sell Goods at a more advantageous price or Seller’s economic hardship in buying materials or processing necessary for manufacture of the Goods will not constitute an force majeure event. If a force majeure event occurs that affects delivery of the Goods to PRESTONE, Seller will allocate its available supply of Goods in a manner that assures PRESTONE of at least the same proportion of Seller’s total output of Goods as was allocated to PRESTONE prior to the Force Majeure event. Seller shall in no event be entitled to any additional payments as a result of the force majeure event.
  4. Prices. The Goods and Services covered by these Terms are those specifically identified in the PO. The prices shall be deemed to include any charges and expenses related to packing, crating or cartage, storage, transportation, handling, unloading, customs, installation, insurance, brokerage fees, freight, duties and other related fees. Unless expressly provided in the PO, all prices are in US dollars.
  5. Payment. PRESTONE shall pay Seller the prices for the Goods and/or Services set out in the PO within sixty (60) days following the later of: (i) acceptance by PRESTONE of Goods and/or Services under the Order; or (ii) receipt by PRESTONE of an undisputed invoice. Payment or any part thereof may be withheld by PRESTONE if, in PRESTONE’s sole discretion: (i) Seller has not fulfilled its obligations under the Order; or (ii) any portion of the Goods and/or Services are damaged, lost or otherwise not accepted by PRESTONE. Seller’s invoices to PRESTONE must charge applicable taxes on any Goods or Services supplied to PRESTONE. Applicable taxes must be shown in a separate line item in any invoice submitted to PRESTONE. PRESTONE may set off, deduct, or credit any amounts owed to it by Seller, or otherwise make a reduction, deduction, withholding or abatement, against amounts it owed to Seller under the Order. Without limiting the foregoing, PRESTONE may deduct from payments otherwise due to Seller, such amounts as PRESTONE may be obligated to withhold under any law, and may remit any such amounts that relate to income tax or other tax to the relevant governmental authority. Seller acknowledges that PRESTONE may make such payments from time to time and that such payment shall reduce PRESTONE’s financial obligation to pay Seller under this Agreement accordingly.
  6. Shipping and import/custom compliance. Seller shall pack, mark and prepare the Goods for shipment in a manner which will prevent damage or deterioration, comply with applicable laws and regulations and conform to PRESTONE’s and carrier’s instructions and requirements. Goods must be shipped in CHEP or CPC pallets with packing slips attached. Seller shall provide any applicable material safety data sheets and other relevant documentation, including BOL (Bill of Lading), the Harmonized Tariff Schedule number, country of origin information or certificates, manufacturer’s affidavits, applicable free trade agreement (“FTA”) certifications for all Goods that qualify under one or more FTA’s, certificate of compliance and certificate of analysis. All shipping documents must include PRESTONE’s part number, PO number and description. Goods must show PRESTONE’s part number. Scale ticket and wash ticket are required for any bulk receiving. The net quantity and unit of measure must be indicated on the scale ticket in a readable way. If the Goods are shipped via rail, the railcar reporting marks must be indicated on the BOL, certificate of analysis, invoice and other relevant documentation. Unless otherwise indicated in any PO, Seller assumes all responsibility and liability for any shipments requiring any government import clearance. If government authorities declare or otherwise impose countervailing duties, antidumping duties, or retaliatory duties on the imported Goods, PRESTONE reserve the right to terminate the PO and any agreement between the parties or cancel the Order to accordance with the termination provisions of these Terms. Seller will be debited for any duties, fees or freight incurred by Prestone due to Seller’s failure to comply with these terms. Seller represents and warrants that (i) the Goods have not been directly or indirectly imported from the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus; and (ii) that the Goods do not contain significant materials or other content originating from the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus or, if the Goods do so contain such materials or other content, that they have undergone substantial transformation prior to their export to PRESTONE. Seller shall indemnify and hold PRESTONE harmless from and against any and all duties, tariffs, taxes, fines and/or penalties that may be imposed in the event that the aforementioned representation is found to be false.
  7. Delivery. Time is of the essence in respect of the Order. Except as otherwise provided in the PO, the delivery terms shall be DDP (Incoterms 2020) to the delivery location set out in the PO. PRESTONE may direct Seller to ship the Goods to any third party designated by PRESTONE. Seller warrants that the Goods and/or Services will be delivered in accordance with delivery dates specified in the PO. Delivery appointments shall be arranged at least 48 hours before the delivery date specified or delivery may be refused. Seller shall notify PRESTONE in writing of any actual or anticipated delays immediately upon discovery. In the event of any delay, PRESTONE may, at its option, terminate all or any portion of the Goods and/or Services being supplied under the Order by giving written notice to Seller, without further liability on the part of PRESTONE. The Seller is liable for loss and additional charge if delivery of the Goods is delayed beyond the schedule provided under this PO. The Seller shall, upon PRESTONE’s request, suspend shipment and delivery of the Goods and all work and operations herein for such period as PRESTONE may request at no additional cost to PRESTONE.
  8. Inspection and Acceptance. Seller agrees to allow PRESTONE, during normal business hours, to make reasonable inspection of the facilities where Seller and its sub-tier sellers (as applicable) manufacture or process the Goods. Any Goods and/or Services are subject to inspection, testing and acceptance by PRESTONE, its agents or its clients. Seller will provide, without additional charge, all reasonable facilities and assistance required for such inspections and tests. PRESTONE reserves the right to reject and refuse acceptance of any Goods or Services that are considered by PRESTONE defective or not in accordance with any specifications (including any specifications made available to Seller by PRESTONE) or documentation provided by Seller. Goods not accepted by PRESTONE will be returned to Seller at Seller’s risk and expense. Services not accepted by PRESTONE shall be remedied or re-performed at Seller’s expense. Payment shall not: (a) constitute acceptance of the Goods or Services; (b) impair PRESTONE’s right to inspect; or (c) limit any of PRESTONE’s remedies. PRESTONE, its agents, its clients and/or its consultants, shall have access at all reasonable times to the plant and premises of the Seller. Inspection and/or acceptance by PRESTONE, its agents or its clients does not relieve Seller of any warranties or obligations hereunder. No payment will be made to the Seller in respect of any of the Goods or Services which are rejected after inspection.
  9. Title and Risk of Loss. Notwithstanding anything else in this Order, title to and risk of loss of the Goods will not pass to PRESTONE until the Goods have been delivered to the destination specified in the PO and PRESTONE has inspected and accepted the Goods or on payment of the Goods by PRESTONE, whichever occurs first.
  10. Substitutions. Seller shall not provide substitute goods as and for the Goods stipulated in the Order without the prior written consent of PRESTONE.
  11. Representations and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants that: (a) it has all right, title and interest necessary for the provision of the Goods and proper performance of the Services; (b) there are no patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other industrial or intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third parties restricting the sale, use, repair or replacement of the Goods or any part thereof or the provision of the Services and the Goods and Services shall not infringe any patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other industrial or intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third parties; (c) the Goods and Services (as applicable) shall be free from liens and defects in design, manufacture, material, workmanship, and third party claims of title, right or interest; (d) the Goods shall be packaged and labelled in accordance with industry standards and applicable laws and regulations; (e) the Goods are new and of best and merchantable quality; (f) all Goods, and materials provided therewith, shall be fit for their intended purpose; (g) the Goods and Services shall be in conformance with any samples, specifications, drawings and any documentation provided by Seller, applicable quality standards and the terms and conditions of the Order, (g) all representations and certifications furnished by Seller as required by law or regulation in connection with this Order are accurate, current and complete as of the effective date of this order, and that to Seller’s knowledge no person has been paid a kickback or illegal gratuity in connection herewith; and (i) the Services will be performed in a timely, workmanlike, professional and competent manner, with all due skill and care, and in accordance with applicable industry standards. If, any time prior to three (3) years from the date of acceptance (“Warranty Period”), it appears that the Goods or Services, or any part thereof, do not conform to the warranties or other requirements of the Order, and PRESTONE so notifies Seller of such discovery, Seller shall promptly correct such nonconformity to the satisfaction of PRESTONE at Seller’s sole expense and the Warranty Period shall be extended accordingly. If Seller fails to correct any nonconformity to the satisfaction of PRESTONE, PRESTONE may reject or revoke acceptance and either: (a) purchase goods and/or services in substitution for those rejected and Seller will be liable to PRESTONE for any costs for procuring such similar goods or services; (b) correct Seller’s nonconforming Goods or Services by the most expeditious means available, the costs of which shall be borne by Seller; or (c) retain the nonconforming Goods or Services and an equitable adjustment reducing the PO price to reflect the diminished value of such nonconforming Goods or Services will be made to the Order. Seller’s liability hereunder shall extend to all damages caused by the breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and requirements, including incidental damages, such as removal, inspection, costs of return or warehousing. This provision shall have no effect upon, nor shall it limit, Seller’s obligations to indemnify PRESTONE under the Order. These warranties, and all other warranties, express or implied, survive delivery, inspection, acceptance and payment.
  12. Recall. Seller is liable for all costs and damages associated with any voluntary or involuntary recall of defective or potentially defective Goods or any other products containing or incorporating such Goods including, but not limited to, recalls by a customer, regulatory agency or in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Seller will be solely responsible for administering any recall or will fully participate in the administration of any recall conducted by PRESTONE or its customer(s) in relation to the Goods as PRESTONE may so direct. Each party will cooperate in making available records and other information reasonably required by the other party in connection with any recall.
  13. No Forced Labour or Child Labour.

Seller shall provide such documentation to PRESTONE upon request. (e) Upon ten (10) days advance written notice and during normal business hours, PRESTONE and its representatives and consultants shall have the right to conduct an inspection of any facility or facilities where Goods are sourced, mined, manufactured or produced subject to such reasonable confidentiality, safety and other conditions as Seller may require.

Where PRESTONE has furnished molds, printing plates or other equipment for use in executing PRESTONE’s orders, the Seller agrees to carefully check and approve such equipment before using them. Such provision of equipment by PRESTONE shall not release the Seller from its obligations under the present Terms.
  15. Compliance with Law. Seller and its suppliers, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and permitted subcontractors must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including export control, anti-corruption and anti-bribery, in relation to the provision of the Goods and the performance of any Services, including having and maintaining in good standing all licenses, permits and other authorizations that may be required as a condition of the conduct of Seller’s business activities.

PRESTONE reserves all rights in all material or information provided by PRESTONE to Seller under the Order and no right, title, license or other interest is granted to Seller unless expressly agreed to by the parties in writing.
  18. Indemnification. Seller shall, at Seller’s expense, be solely responsible for and will further indemnify, defend (at PRESTONE’s option) and hold harmless PRESTONE, its affiliates and each of their directors, officers, employees, representatives and contractors and clients (collectively “Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, demands, suits, judgments and expenses, including investigation expenses and legal fees and costs, arising from or alleged to arise from : (i) any breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition of the Order; (ii) any claim that any Good and/or Service constitutes an infringement, violation or misappropriation of any third party’s rights, including any intellectual property right; or (iii) any negligent or wilful act or omission of Seller or its representatives, including but not limited to personal injury, product liability and property damage. Seller will have the right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and, consistent with Indemnitees’ rights hereunder, all negotiations for its settlement; provided, however, in no event will Seller enter into any settlement without PRESTONE’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Indemnitees may participate in such defense or negotiations to protect its interests. Prior to the service or filing of any significant pleading, motion, brief, discovery response or other document on behalf of PRESTONE, Seller, will provide such documents to PRESTONE for review and approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. If any injunction or restraining order is issued, Supplier will, at its expense, obtain for Indemnitees either the right to continue to make, use, offer to sell, sell or import the Goods or replace or modify the Goods to make them non-infringing.
  19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

If requested by PRESTONE, Seller shall also furnish PRESTONE with a clearance certificate or letter confirming that Seller has Workers’ Compensation coverage and such coverages shall not be allowed to change or expire until all Goods and Services have been completed and accepted. Except where prohibited by law, Seller will require its insurers to waive all rights of recovery or subrogation against PRESTONE, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents. The amount of insurance carried in compliance with the above requirements is not to be construed as either a limitation on or satisfaction of the indemnification obligations under these Terms.
  21. Term and Survival. The Order shall terminate upon the later of: (i) receipt by Seller of payment for all of the Goods and Services; or (ii) acceptance of the Goods and Services by PRESTONE, unless earlier terminated by PRESTONE in accordance with these Terms.

PRESTONE may assign the Order without Seller’s consent and upon such assignment the assignee and Seller shall be the parties to the Order and PRESTONE will be released and forever discharged from any liabilities or obligations of the Order as though the assignee had been an original party hereto. The Order inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
