3. Payment

3.1 Unless otherwise provided, payment terms are net cash within 30 days from the date of the invoice. Invoices will be issued when goods are delivered or are available for delivery or where the contract provides for installation and/or commissioning when these services have been provided or the equipment is available for clinical use.


3.2 Philips may at any time require any amount that has become payable to be paid immediately and before delivery or any other performance by Philips, if Philips considers the customer to be a credit risk.

 

3.3 Where payment is overdue Philips may charge interest at the rate of 10% plus the overdraft rate charged by Philips bankers at the time of default calculated on a daily basis on any monies due but unpaid.  If customer fails to pay any amount when due, Philips may discontinue the performance of services, discontinue the delivery of the Product(s), or deduct the unpaid amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the customer by Philips or any of its affiliates under any agreement with the customer, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Philips. 

Furthermore Philips, or its designated representative, will be allowed, without notice to the customer, to enter any premises in which the Products may be found and render them inoperable or remove them, and hold and sell them in accordance with the applicable law.  In any action initiated to enforce these Conditions of Sale following a customer default or otherwise, Philips shall be entitled to recover as part of its damages all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in connection with such action.
 

3.4 If the customer cancels an order prior to the Product delivery and the customer has a legal right to do so, the customer shall pay the costs incurred by Philips up to the date of cancellation including, but not limited to, the costs to manufacture the Product, the costs to provide any training, educational, or other services to the customer in connection with the order, a nominal restocking fee, and the costs to return or cancel any product ordered from a third party. In other cases of cancellation, the agreed price remains due and payable.

4.1 If at any time before the delivery of any goods the customer informs Philips that finance is to be arranged in respect of those goods the following shall apply:
 

4.1.1 The customer agrees to procure a finance company to purchase the goods and shall notify Philips of the name and address of such finance company.


4.1.2 Philips shall address its invoice for the goods to the finance company and all payments by the finance company shall discharge to that extent the customer’s obligations under clause 3, but all other provisions of the contract shall remain in full force and effect.
 

4.1.3 If there shall be any breach by the customer of this clause, or if the nominated finance company shall for any reason (other than default on the part of Philips) fail within the times stated in clause 3 to pay in full the amount of any invoice addressed to it, Philips may address or re-address the invoice to the customer who shall thereupon be bound to purchase the goods from Philips and to pay for the same in accordance with clause 3.
 

4.1.4 The customer acknowledges that no discussions, correspondence or other communications between the parties concerning the sources or availability of finance shall in any way affect the customer's obligations under this clause.


4.1.5 Goods will be delivered only after receipt of satisfactory written authorisation from the finance company.

5.3   Title to any particular good shall remain in Philips until all amounts owing to Philips for those goods have been paid in full.
 

5.4   Until title to any particular good passes to the customer, the customer shall:

5.4.2 return those goods to Philips on request; and
 

5.4.3 hold any cash proceeds of those goods on trust for Philips in a separate account.

5.5.2 Philips has not requested the return of those goods.
 

5.6   The goods shall be at the customer’s risk from delivery (whether to the customer or another person on the customer’s behalf) and the customer shall insure the goods for their full replacement value.
 

5.7.   Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (‘PPSA’)

If the customer fails to comply with any term of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement with Philips, Philips or its agent may exercise any and all remedies afforded to a secured party by Part 9 of the PPSA and enter any building or premises owned, occupied, or used by the customer, to search for and re-take possession of the goods.
 

The customer agrees that sections 114(1)(a), 117(1)(c), 133 and 134 of the PPSA shall not apply on the enforcement by Philips of any security interest created or provided for by this Agreement.  The customer also waives any rights it may have under sections 116, 119, 120(2), 121, 125, 126, 127, 129 and 131 of the PPSA on such enforcement.
 

The customer acknowledges receipt of a copy of these Conditions of Sale and waives any right it may have to receive from Philips a copy of any financing statement, financing change statement or verification statement that is registered, issued, or received at any time in relation to these Conditions of Sale.

Unless the context otherwise requires terms and expressions in these Conditions of Sale that are defined in the PPSA shall have the same meaning in these terms as in the PPSA and references to the goods include references to any one of them.
 

6. Technical Changes; Obsolescence of Products

Philips shall have the right to make changes in the design or specifications of the Products at any time, provided that such change shall not adversely affect the performance of said Products.

During the validity period of Philips’ quotation, some of the Products might become obsolete.  In such a situation, Philips shall endeavour to provide equivalent replacement Products at similar prices, but shall not be held responsible in case there are no replacements available.
 

7. Despatch and Delivery

7.1 Philips shall make reasonable efforts to meet any delivery dates quoted or acknowledged, but shall not be liable for failure to meet those dates.  In case Philips cannot despatch the Products to their destination by the date scheduled, due to reasons outside Philips' reasonable control, such as, but not limited to, reasons attributable to customer, Philips may make part delivery or alternatively shall be entitled to store the Products concerned at the customer's expense and risk. In such case the warehouse receipt(s) shall serve as substitute(s) for the shipping documents in all respects and the customer undertakes to reimburse within fourteen (14) days of Philips' first demand any and all additional expenses so incurred.
 

7.2 Goods offered ex stock are subject to prior sale.
                      

8. Installation

In case Philips' quotation or sale includes installation of the Products, the customer shall be responsible for the following at customer's sole expense and risk:

(b)  The availability on or near the installation site of adequate and lockable rooms equipped with sanitary installations, for personnel of Philips or Philips' representative and for the storage of the personnel's tools and instruments.
 

(c) The timely execution and completion of the preparatory works, in conformity with any requirements that Philips shall indicate to the customer in due time.  The site preparation shall be in compliance with all safety, electrical and building codes relevant to the Products and their installation. Sufficiency of such plans and specifications, specifically including, but not limited to the accuracy of the dimensions described therein, shall be the sole responsibility of customer. The installation site shall be made available to Philips or Philips’ representative without obstacles in due time to enable Philips or Philips’ representative to start the installation work at the scheduled date; installation personnel shall not be called upon the installation site until all preparatory work has been, in the sole opinion of Philips, satisfactorily completed.
 

(d) The timely provision of the permits and licenses required by the pertinent authorities for or in connection with the installation and the operation of the Products.
 

(e) Philips assumes that no hazardous material exists at the installation site.  If any such material exists, the customer shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal of the material at the customer’s expense.

In case any or all of the above conditions are not properly or timely complied with, or Philips or Philips representative is not given access to the site, or has to interrupt the installation and subsequent testing for reasons not attributable to Philips, the period of completion shall be extended accordingly and any and all additional costs resulting therefrom shall be for the customer's account. Philips NEITHER ASSUMES LIABILITY NOR OFFERS ANY WARRANTY FOR THE FITNESS OR ADEQUACY OF THE PREMISES OR THE UTILITIES AVAILABLE AT THE PREMISES IN WHICH THE PRODUCT IS TO BE INSTALLED, USED OR STORED.
 

9. Acceptance

In case installation of the Products is offered, Philips shall notify the customer when the Products installed will be ready for testing and acceptance, inviting the customer to attend the standard tests or such tests as may have been agreed upon in writing to demonstrate compliance with the agreed specifications and/or to inspect the installation work.

If the customer's representative fails to attend the testing on the date notified, the technical staff of Philips or its representative will commence with the tests according to Philips' standard test procedures and these tests shall be considered performed in the presence of the customer's inspector and acceptance shall in such case take place on the basis of the results stated in the test certificate signed by Philips.

In case of rejection of the Products installed for justified reasons, to be submitted to Philips in detail and in writing within ten (10) days after completion of the acceptance tests concerned, Philips shall as a sole remedy correct the shortcomings as soon as possible and the relevant parts of the acceptance test shall be repeated within a reasonable period of time in conformity with the procedures outlined above.

If within ten (10) days after completion of the acceptance test Philips shall not have received the acceptance certificate signed by the customer or a report of rejection for justified reasons the Products installed shall be considered as having been accepted by the customer. The customer acknowledges that the Products may not be used for clinical purposes until the customer has signed Philips’ acceptance certificate.

Minor defects or deviations not affecting the operational use of the Products installed shall be stated in the acceptance certificate, but shall not obstruct or suspend acceptance. Philips undertakes to remedy such defects as soon as possible.
 

10. Complaints and Returns

The customer shall notify Philips in writing and shall substantiate any complaints of erroneous despatch and/or apparent damage to the Products supplied within ten (10) days after receipt of the Products including the date and number of Philips' invoice.  Philips shall issue, upon acceptance of the complaint, a return authorisation notice and customer shall return the relevant Products in accordance with Philips' instructions.  All Products returned must be insured and carriage prepaid by customer and packed in their original packing.
 

11. Product Warranty

Philips provides Product specific warranties with respect to the offered Products, as set out in Philips' quotation, or as annexed hereto.  In absence of any Product specific warranty, Philips warrants to the customer the good quality of any hardware Products supplied, for a period of one year as from the date of acceptance or first patient use, whichever occurs first, but in no event for more than fifteen (15) months as from the date of despatch, against defects which appear therein under proper use, and which arise solely from faulty materials or workmanship. This warranty does not include any vacuum articles to which a pro rata credit applies. Furthermore this warranty is not applicable for replacement parts, hardware upgrades, consumables and other excluded items for which specific warranty conditions apply as indicated, provided for or made accessible by Philips.

Philips’ obligations under any product warranty are limited, at Philips’ option, to the repair or the replacement of the Product or a portion thereof, or to a refund of a portion of the purchase price paid by the customer.  Any refund will be paid to the customer when the defective Product or part is returned to Philips.  Any product warranty is made on condition that Philips receives written notice of a Product defect during the warranty period and within ten (10) days following the discovery of the defect by the customer, and, if so requested, the defective Products have been returned to an address or location indicated by Philips.  Such defective parts shall become Philips' property as soon as they have been replaced.  Philips’ obligations under any product warranty do not apply to any defects resulting from: (a) improper or inadequate maintenance or calibration by the customer or its agents; (b) customer or third party supplied software, interfaces, or supplies; (c) use or operation of the Product other than in accordance with Philips’ applicable Product specifications and written instructions; (d) abuse, negligence, accident, loss; (e) damage in transit; (f) improper site preparation; (g) unauthorised maintenance or modifications to the Product; (h) any damage to the Product – including software – or any medical or other stored data caused by an external source regardless of its nature, including but not limited to hacking, or, (i) viruses or similar software interference resulting from the connection of the Product to a network.  Philips does not provide a warranty for any third party products furnished to the customer by Philips under this quotation; however, Philips shall use reasonable efforts to extend to the customer the third party warranty for such product.  The obligations of Philips described above are Philips’ only obligations and the customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of a Product warranty.
 

SUBJECT ONLY TO THE NEXT SUCCEEDING PARAGRAPH THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN PHILIPS’ WARRANTY DOCUMENT WITH RESPECT TO A PRODUCT ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES MADE BY PHILIPS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT, THE SOFTWARE, AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED as a result of THIS QUOTATION OR SALE, AND ARE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
 

Where legislation implies in this agreement any condition or warranty, and that legislation avoids or prohibits provisions in a contract excluding or modifying application or exercise or liability under such condition or warranty, the condition or warranty will be deemed to be included in this agreement.  However, the liability of Philips for any breach of such condition or warranty will be limited, at the option of Philips, to one or more of the following:
 

(a)   if the breach relates to goods:

(i)    the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods;

(ii)   the repair of such goods;

(iii)  the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or

(iv)  the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; and

(b)   if the breach relates to services:

       (i)    the supplying of the services again; or

       (ii)   the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

Notwithstanding any other provision in these Conditions of Sale, the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (NZ) (‘CGA’) are hereby expressly excluded and will not apply to any products or services supplied by Philips which the customer acquires for the purposes of a business (as ‘business’ is defined in the CGA).

                                                                                            
12. Software and Licenses

All software is and shall remain the sole property of Philips or its software suppliers.  The General Customer Software License Conditions attached hereto, form an integral part hereof, contain specific warranty arrangements with respect to any Licensed Software (as defined in the General Customer Software License Conditions).
 

13. Limitation of Liability  The liability, if any, of Philips and Philips’ representatives for damages whether arising from breach of the terms in this quotation, breach of contract, warranty, negligence, indemnity, strict liability or other tort, or otherwise with respect to the Products is limited to an amount not to exceed the price of the Product giving rise to the liability.
 

a) DISCLAIMER. PHILIPS AND PHILIPS' representatives SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO THE CUSTOMER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR COVER, OR LOSS OF DATA, PROFIT, REVENUE OR USE, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE OR ANY RESULTING AGREEMENT, OR THE FUNCTIONING OR THE CUSTOMER'S USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING (EMBEDDED) SOFTWARE, OR FOR ANY LIABILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO ANY THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT THERETO.  NEITHER PHILIPS NOR PHILIPS' SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF OR INABILITY TO USE MEDICAL OR OTHER DATA STORED IN GOODS, INCLUDING (EMBEDDED) SOFTWARE OR ON OTHER MAGNETIC MEDIA, AND NEITHER PHILIPS NOR PHILIPS' representatives SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RELOADING DATA IN SUCH EVENT.

b) Infringement Claims.  If a third party makes, or attempts to make, a claim against the customer alleging that a Philips Product delivered hereunder infringes a valid claim under a patent, utility model, industrial design, copyright, trade secret, mask work, or trademark (collectively ‘Intellectual Property Right’), the customer shall (a) provide Philips prompt written notice of the claim, and (b) grant Philips full and complete information;  and  if Philips chooses in writing to defend, settle or negotiate the claim customer shall (i) give Philips sole control of any defence or settlement that it may undertake and (ii) provide Philips with all reasonable assistance if so desired by Philips.

Philips shall have no obligation for any claim of infringement and customer shall reimburse all reasonable costs (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees) in case a claim arises from: (a) Philips’ compliance with the customer’s designs, specifications, or instructions; (b) Philips’ use of technical information or technology supplied by the customer; (c) modifications to the Product by the customer or its agents; (d) use of the Product other than in accordance with the product specifications or applicable written product instructions; (e) use of the Product with products not manufactured by Philips if infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of either the Philips Product, the third party products or both.  Furthermore, Philips will not be liable for any claim where the damages sought are based directly or indirectly upon the quantity or value of products or services generated by means of the Products purchased under the quotation, or based upon the amount of use of the Product regardless of whether such claim alleges the Product or its use infringes or contributes to the infringement of such claim.

In case (a) a non-appealable judgment of a competent court having jurisdiction declares the claim to be valid or (b) the Product is believed by Philips to infringe such a claim, Philips may, at its option, (i) procure the right for the customer to continue to use the Product, (ii) replace or modify the Product to avoid infringement, or (iii) refund to the customer a reasonable portion of the Product purchase price upon the return of the original Product.

The terms in this section state Philips’ entire obligation and liability for claims of infringement, and the customer’s sole remedy in the event of a claim of infringement.

14. Use and Ownership of Documents

If nevertheless Licensee or any of its officers, employees or agents either (i) devise or acquire any improvements in the Licensed Software, or (ii) suggest or recommend to Philips any improvements, then such improvements and such information shall be disclosed in writing and a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license shall be offered to Licensor in writing. In case Licensor accepts such offer either in whole or in part by explicit written acceptance, Licensor agrees to grant to Licensee a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license to any further improvements Licensor makes to any such improvement made by Licensee.

(c)  Licensor may create and license updated and improved versions of the Licensed Software from time to time.

(e)  Licensor has no obligation to furnish any assistance, support, maintenance, or new versions, except if and to the extent Licensor has explicitly agreed thereto in writing.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, the rights granted to Licensee under this License are conditioned upon Licensee complying with the following limitations: Licensee shall not perform any action in a manner that would require any Licensed Software or any other software furnished with a Designated Product or other Philips product or which is a derivative work of the Licensed Software or such other software to be licensed as Publicly Available Software. Such acts include, without limitation:

(i)                   incorporating Identified Software into any such software or product;

(ii)                 combining Identified Software with any such software or product;

(iii)                distributing Identified Software in conjunction with any such software or product; or

(iv)                using Identified Software in the development of a derivative work of any such software or product.

6.  Term and Termination

This License shall continue for as long as Licensee utilizes the Designated Hardware/System(s), except that Licensor may terminate this License forthwith without the need for judicial action, in the event of any breach by Licensee of any term, covenant, or condition contained herein, provided Licensor has given Licensee a written notice specifying such breach and Licensee has failed to remedy such breach within fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice or within such longer period as may be specified in said notice. Such termination shall not relieve Licensee of any of its obligations incurred prior to such termination, and shall not impair any of Licensor's rights which have accrued prior to such date. Licensee shall remove the Licensed Software from the Designated Hardware and return the Licensed Software and any copies thereof and documentation relating thereto to Licensor at Licensee's expense immediately upon the termination of this License. Upon such return Licensee shall certify to Licensor that it does not, directly or indirectly, wholly or partly, retain or possess Licensed Software, or parts thereof.
 

7.  Intellectual Property Right (‘IPR’) Infringement Indemnification

In the event a third party makes, or attempts to make, a claim against Licensee alleging that the Licensed Software provided hereunder infringes a valid claim under a patent, utility model, industrial design, copyright, trade secret, mask work, or trademark (collectively ‘IPR’), Licensee shall (a) provide Licensor prompt written notice of the claim, and (b) grant Licensor full and complete information with regard to such claim; and if Licensor chooses in writing to defend, settle or negotiate the claim Licensee shall (i) give Licensor sole control of any defense or settlement that it may undertake and (ii) provide Licensor with all reasonable assistance if so desired by Licensor.

 In case (a) a non-appealable judgment of a competent court having jurisdiction declares the claim to be valid or (b) the Licensed Software is believed by Licensor to infringe such a claim, Licensor may, at its option, either (a) secure Licensee's right to continue using the Licensed Software, (b) replace or modify the Licensed Software to make it free of such infringement so long as such replacement or modification does not materially affect the total functionality of the Licensed Software, or (c) if neither of the foregoing alternatives is available on commercially reasonable terms to Licensor, accept return of such Licensed Software and, after deduction of a reasonable charge for the time Licensee did make use of the Licensed Software, refund to Licensee the fee specified in section 3, paid by Licensee for the Licensed Software so returned. If Licensor provides any of the options set forth above, Licensor's indemnity obligation hereunder shall be entirely fulfilled as to that individual claim.

Licensor shall have no obligation for any claim of infringement and Licensee shall reimburse all reasonable costs (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees) in case a claim arises from (i) any settlement or compromise made by Licensee without Licensor's prior written consent, (ii) use by Licensee of the Licensed Software, when use of a later version which Licensor has commercially made available would have avoided such infringement, (iii) use or combination of the Licensed Software with software or equipment not supplied by Licensor, where without combination the Licensed Software would not have been infringing, (iv) use of the Licensed Software in a manner or for a purpose for which it was not designed as set forth in the applicable Product documentation, (v) Licensor's compliance with Licensee's particular design, specifications and/or instructions, (vi) Licensor's use of technical information or technology provided by the Licensee, (vii) modifications neither made by Licensor nor approved by Licensor, or (viii) Licensee not following Licensor's normal recommended hardware and software maintenance schedules and instructions and/or not implementing mandatory (safety) actions (FCO implementation). Furthermore, Licensor will not be liable for any claim where the damages sought are based directly or indirectly upon the quantity or value of products or services generated by means of the Products purchased under the quotation, or based upon the amount of use of the Products regardless of whether such claim alleges the Products or its use infringes or contributes to the infringement of such claim.

The indemnities and obligations of Licensor in this Section 7 shall apply to third party software only to the extent Licensor, pursuant to its license agreement or purchase agreement with such third party, is entitled to indemnification for such infringements.

THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF PHILIPS WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF ANY IPR BY THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR ANY PARTS THEREOF.
 

8Warranty

THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN PHILIPS’ WARRANTY DOCUMENT WITH RESPECT TO A PRODUCT (INCLUDING THE LICENSED SOFTWARE PROVIDED WITH ANY DESIGNATED PRODUCT OR OTHER PRODUCT) ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES MADE BY PHILIPS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PRODUCT And THE LICENSED SOFTWARE AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THE QUOTATION OR SALES AGREEMENT ATTACHED TO THIS LICENSE.

Philips provides specific warranties with respect to the offered Licensed Software, as set out in Philips’ quotation, or as annexed hereto.  In the absence of any specific warranty for the Licensed Software, Philips warrants that during a period of ninety (90) days after the Licensed Software has been made available that the Licensed Software will conform substantially to the applicable functional specifications which are in effect on the date of the License and which may be furnished to Licensee. This Software License warranty is made on the condition that during the applicable warranty period: (A) Licensee notifies Licensor of the nonconformity in writing within ten (10) days of discovery giving full details of such nonconformity, (B) such nonconformity is a critical error in the then current version of the Licensed Software, and (C) Licensor is able to reproduce the nonconformity, then Licensor shall at its option, and at its expense, endeavour to correct the nonconformity, either by replacement, work around, or by modification of the Licensed Software. If, after the expenditure of reasonable efforts, Licensor is unable to correct the non-compliance, Licensor may refund a reasonable portion or the entire purchase price for the Licensed Software, in which event the refund will be in full satisfaction of all Licensee's claims relating to the non-compliance. All corrections shall be made in accordance with Licensor's then-current Licensed Software correction procedures.  Licensor does not guarantee the effectiveness of the correction efforts, and does not represent or warrant that all errors can be corrected. The warranty period for the thus corrected Licensed Software shall not extend the warranty period as set out above.

Correction of non-conformities or defects or repayment of (part of) the license fee shall be Licensor's exclusive remedy and shall constitute full and final fulfillment of all liabilities of Licensor with respect to the Licensed Software.

Where legislation implies in this agreement any condition or warranty, and that legislation avoids or prohibits provisions in a contract excluding or modifying application or exercise or liability under such condition or warranty, the condition or warranty will be deemed to be included in this agreement.  However, the liability of Philips for any breach of such condition or warranty will be limited, at the option of Philips, to one or more of the following:

9.  Waiver

Notwithstanding paragraphs 7 and 8 hereinabove, the Licensee expressly waives all claims against Licensor and agrees to hold Licensor harmless from any liability arising from the use of the Licensed Software, unless Licensee proves that such liability is solely attributable to the gross negligence or willful intent of Licensor.
