4. Confidentiality of Reagents Products
4.1 Customer agrees to maintain strict confidentiality of all non-public information received from Revvity regarding Reagents Products’ information, specification and data such as custom products, custom fluorescent reagents and custom plasmids (collectively, “Revvity Confidential Information”) and such Revvity Confidential Information constitutes valuable intellectual property owned exclusively by the Revvity.
4.2 Customer undertakes, from the date of placing the purchase order and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, not to disclose or communicate Revvity Confidential Information to any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Revvity Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, Customer agrees to protect such trade secret(s) for so long as Revvity Confidential Information qualifies as a trade secret under applicable law.
4.3 This obligation of confidentiality shall survive termination of these Terms but shall not apply to information which: (i) is available to the general public other than by a breach of confidentiality by Customer, (ii) was known to Customer without any limitation on use or disclosure prior to its receipt from Revvity, (iii) is received from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality, (iv) was independently developed by Customer without reference to or reliance on any Revvity Confidential Information, (v) is generally made available to third parties by Revvity without restriction on disclosure, in each case as demonstrated by adequate written evidence of Customer, or (vi) is required by law to be disclosed (including as part of any regulatory submission or approval process) and then only when prompt written notice of this requirement has been given to Revvity so that it may, if so advised, seek appropriate relief to prevent such disclosure provided always that in such circumstances such disclosure shall be only to the extent so required and where practicable shall be subject to prior consultation with Revvity with a view to agreeing timing and content of such disclosure.
5. Ordering
Purchase orders must be placed by fax or email to the contact information provided on Revvity’s quotation. Purchase orders are only binding upon Revvity’s written acceptance or its fulfillment of such purchase order, whichever occurs first. Unless otherwise stated on the quotation, all orders once placed are non-cancellable, unless Revvity consents to such cancellation in writing and Customer pays any applicable cancellation and/or restocking charges.

6. Delivery Time
Revvity shall use reasonable efforts to meet dates specified for the delivery of Reagents Products; however, all such dates are estimates only and subject to Revvity’s availability. If Revvity’s supply of Reagents Products is limited, Revvity shall have the right to allocate the available supply among its customers in any manner it determines appropriate in its sole discretion. Revvity’s delivery obligation for Reagents Products is solely to deliver to a loading dock or other external loading point at the address specified on the quotation (the "Delivery Point") using Revvity’s standard practices for packaging and shipping. Unless otherwise indicated on Revvity’s quotation, all Reagents Products are shipped FCA (Incoterms 2020) Shipping Point and Customer is responsible for all transportation, shipping and handling charges, which shall be prepaid and added to the invoice. Title to and risk of loss of Reagents Products passes to Customer upon shipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless otherwise indicated on Revvity’s quotation, for Reagent Products sales within Australia, the UK, or any European Union country, such Reagent Products are shipped DDP (Incoterms 2020) and Revvity is responsible for all transportation, shipping and handling charges to the Delivery Point. For orders within Australia, the UK, or any European Union country, title to and risk of loss of Reagents Products passes to Customer upon delivery. Where Customer furnishes special transportation instructions, any special expense is to be borne by Customer, including any special handling, packaging and additional freight charges. Revvity may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Reagents Products to Customer, regardless of utility to Customer in the absence of such undelivered portion. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Customer shall pay for Reagents Products shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Customer’s purchase order.
7. Inspection, Acceptance, and Returns
7.1 Customer shall inspect Reagents Products immediately upon receipt and shall, within five (5) business days of receipt (the “Inspection Period”), give written notice to Revvity of any claim that Reagents Products shipped constitute Nonconforming Products. "Nonconforming Products" means only the following: (i) product shipped is different than specified on the Customer’s purchase order; or (ii) product is visibly damaged. Customer will be deemed to have accepted Reagents Products unless it notifies Revvity as indicated herein and furnishes evidence as required by Revvity. If Customer receives Reagents Products where defects or nonconformities are not apparent upon initial examination or are not discovered until after the Inspection Period has passed, such Reagents Products shall be subject to the warranty set forth in Section 10 below.
7.2 If Customer notifies Revvity of any Nonconforming Products in writing within the Inspection Period, Revvity shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Products, or (ii) credit or refund the payments made for such Nonconforming Products. Revvity will provide to Customer a return authorization number that must be included with the return packaging for a return to be accepted. Return orders cannot be accepted unless prior notification has been sent by the Customer and the return has been approved in writing by the Revvity. Customer shall ship, at Revvity’s expense, Nonconforming Products to the facility designated by Revvity. Revvity may instruct Customer to destroy any Nonconforming Products in lieu or returning them and in such case, Customer shall certify to such destruction. If Revvity exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Products, Revvity shall, after receiving Customer’s shipment of Nonconforming Products or certification of destruction per Revvity’s request, ship to Customer the replaced Reagents Products to the Delivery Point. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section are Customer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Products. Customer will be liable for restocking charges in the event Products are returned to Revvity which are not Nonconforming Products.
7.3 Except as provided in this Agreement, Customer has no right to return Reagents Products to Revvity.
8. Steri-Packaged Reagents Products

9. Prices and Payment
9.1 Prices: Customer shall purchase Reagents Products from Revvity at the price(s) set forth in Revvity's quotation, or if no price has been quoted, then at the published list price in effect as of the date of acceptance of Customer's purchase order. Prices are subject to adjustment on account of specifications, quantities, raw materials, cost of production, shipment arrangements (including without limitation, shipping outside of the country of original delivery), Customer’s delays in delivery, or other terms that were not part of the original quotation. If Customer requests shipment to a country other than the country originally requested, and if Revvity elects not to cancel the order (which Revvity may do in its sole discretion), Revvity’s applicable surcharge for the actual country of delivery shall be added to the price.
9.2 Taxes: All prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable by Customer. Customer shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes; provided, however, that Customer shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Revvity's income. If Customer claims that a transaction is not subject to any tax, Customer is exempt, or Revvity is not required to collect any tax, Customer shall provide Revvity with any documentation necessary to support such a claim.
9.3 Payment Terms: Unless otherwise set forth in the quotation, Customer shall pay all invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days from the date of Revvity's invoice. Revvity reserves the right to require Customer to make full or partial payment in advance or otherwise provide security to Revvity’s satisfaction. Revvity shall be entitled to charge statutory interest on late payments without an obligation on Revvity to provide prior notice of its intent to charge such interest. The interest rate shall be a) the refinancing interest as published by either as the case may be (i) the European Central Bank or (ii) Monetary Authority of Singapore or (iii) US Federal Reserve, from time to time plus 10% , or b) the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily from the date a payment becomes past due and compounded monthly from the date of delinquency. Customer shall reimburse Revvity for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments that have not been disputed in good faith within the thirty (30) day payment period, including without limitation, costs of reasonable attorneys' fees. For sales made underFrench law (Article L.441-6 and D.441-5 of the French commercial code) Revvity shall be entitled to charge the payment of a €40 lump sum indemnity for recovery costs. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms or at law, if (a) Customer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder; or (b) Customer becomes insolvent or any proceedings are commenced under any bankruptcy or similar laws for Customer’s reorganization or other debt adjustment, then Revvity shall be entitled to suspend the delivery of any Products and/or reject any of Customer’s future orders. Customer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Revvity.
10. Limited Warranty
10.1 Revvity warrants only to Customer that Reagents Products will materially conform to Revvity’s published specifications, at the time of shipment. The “Warranty Period” shall be for: (a) the expiration or “use by” date listed on the Reagents Product; (b) the Reagents Product’s specified number of uses; or (c) thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of such Reagents Products, if the Reagents Products specification sheet does not contain information applicable to sub-sections (a) through (b) herein. This warranty shall only be valid if such Reagents Products are stored in accordance with Revvity’s instructions and used in accordance with the published specifications. Revvity will carry out its delivery obligations with due care and skill.
10.2 For any orders for the development of non-catalog Reagents Products delivered pursuant to Revvity’s custom labeling/synthesis service offerings, which expressly excludes any of Revvity’s OnPoint services such as custom assay development services (“Custom Services”), Revvity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet all specifications requested by Customer for such Reagents Products. Revvity makes no warranties related to Reagents Products generated from such Custom Services, and Customer shall be bound to pay for all custom Reagent Products ordered hereunder, regardless of whether the requested specifications are met. For clarity, the performance of any Custom Services may be performed in accordance with a separate services agreement and the purchase of the resulting products from such services will be made in accordance with these Terms, or if there is no separate services agreement then the attached Addendum A to these Terms, incorporated herein by this reference, shall apply in addition to these Terms.
10.3 In the event of any breach of this warranty, Revvity will, at its sole discretion and as Customer’s sole remedy, either refund the price paid for such non-conforming Reagents Products or replace any non-conforming Reagents Products at no charge to the Customer. Said refund or replacement is conditioned on Customer (a) having followed the storage and use instructions for such affected Reagents Products and (b) giving written notice to the Revvity during the Warranty Period. Failure of Customer to give said notice shall constitute a waiver by Customer of all claims hereunder with respect to said Reagents Products. This limited warranty is the sole and exclusive warranty and sets forth the exclusive remedies for all Reagents Products and is in lieu of all other warranties
10.4 EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, REVVITY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCTS AND SOFTWARE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY (A) OF MERCHANTABILITY; (B) OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; OR (C) AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE.
11. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL REVVITY BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT, LOSS OF DATA OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT REVVITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL REVVITY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL OF THE AMOUNTS PAID TO REVVITY FOR THE PRODUCTS GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM UPON WHICH LIABILITY IS BASED. The aforementioned limitations of liability shall not apply to liability resulting from Revvity's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER. IN THE EVENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THE COMPLETE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF CLAIMS AND DAMAGES AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, REVVITY’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
12. REACH European regulations and compliance for EU countries
Some Reagents Products contain 0.1% Triton or more, a molecule defined as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) by the European REACH regulations. In such a case, Reagents Products’ package insert, as well as its corresponding Material Safety Data Sheet, shall specify this fact. Revvity reminds its European customers that such Reagents Products must be used in compliance with the REACH regulations, under the following conditions: i) for in vitro research in appropriate and controlled premises by qualified researchers, ii) subsequent waste is collected and treated, and iii) the cumulated amount of Triton handled does not exceed 1 ton per year/legal entity.
13. Waiver
Revvity’s waiver of a breach or default under these Terms will not be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. Failure of Revvity to enforce compliance with any term or condition of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such term or condition then or in the future. Unless otherwise required by law, an action or proceeding by Customer to enforce an obligation, duty, or right arising under these Terms must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues or such claim will be deemed waived and relinquished.

Customer shall not assign, sublicense nor otherwise transfer, either voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by merger, consolidation, dissolution, operation of law or otherwise, these Terms nor any rights under these Terms without the express prior written consent of Revvity and any purported attempt to do so without such consent shall be void.
16. Force Majeure

In such case, Revvity shall give Customer reasonable written notice with details of such event. Dates by which Revvity’s performance obligations are scheduled to be met will be extended for a period of time equal to the time lost due to any delay so caused.
17. Partial Invalidity
If any portion of this these Terms is illegal, or invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of these Terms, then and in that event, the remainder of these Terms shall not be affected thereby, and the parties intend that in lieu of each such illegal, or invalid or unenforceable portion, there will be added as part of these Terms a clause or provision as similar terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as maybe possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
18. Relationship
These Terms do not create an agency relationship or partnership between the parties. Each party is an independent contractor.

Addendum A
Custom Services: Additional Terms and Conditions
ONLY APPLICABLE FOR CUSTOM SERVICES, EXCLUDING CUSTOM ASSAY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
This Addendum A (“Addendum”) to the Terms shall apply if the quotation or proposal prepared for Customer details the provision of Custom Services, unless Revvity and Customer enter into a separate services agreement signed by both parties. These terms and conditions are in addition to the terms and conditions in the Terms and are made a part of and incorporated into the Terms. In case of conflict between the terms in this Addendum and the terms in the Terms, then this Addendum shall take precedence.
1. PRECURSOR. Customer is required to supply chemically pure compounds, purified biological material, cell lines, and/or other Customer owned materials (hereinafter "Precursor(s)") for the products to be generated by Revvity pursuant to the quotation or proposal that references the Terms. In the event the Precursor(s) is(are) destroyed in whole or in part during manufacture of the products by Revvity, Customer shall have no claims whatsoever, including, without limitation, claims for damages of any kind, against Revvity or any of its employees or representatives as a result of such destruction. At Customer's election, Revvity will dispose of or return to Customer, at Customer's sole expense, all unused Precursor(s) provided by Customer when the work under the quotation or proposal is completed or otherwise terminated.
2. COMPLETION DATE. The date for the completion of service to create the custom Reagents Products is estimated from the later of the date of receipt by Revvity of (a) the purchase order, (b) the Precursor(s), or (c) all information required to produce the Reagents Product(s) from the Precursor(s). This date is an estimate and subject to change. Whenever possible, Revvity will provide Customer with advance notice of such a change; however, Revvity shall have the right to change the estimated completion date, and Customer shall have no claims whatsoever, including, without limitation, claims for damages of any kind, against Revvity or any of its employees or representatives as a result of such a change.
3. CANCELLATION. Revvity may encounter unforeseen difficulties in the preparation and purification of products which conform to the specifications and terms quoted in the quotation or proposal. In such event, Revvity shall have the right to cancel the quotation or proposal, and Customer shall have no claims whatsoever, including, without limitation, claims for damages of any kind, against Revvity as a result of such a cancellation. Whenever reasonably possible, Revvity will offer a modified quotation or proposal.
4. COMPLIANCE. Without limiting the use restrictions of Section 3 of the Terms, Customer covenants to Revvity that Customer shall test the Precursor(s) and/or the resulting Reagents Products for any risks to health or the environment, comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, take appropriate precautions to protect persons and the environment from such risks; enforce appropriate methods of research to minimize such risks, implement safety assessments and procedures relative to the procurement, storage, use and disposal of the materials involved, and issue all appropriate warnings and information to users of the Precursors(s) and/or resulting Reagents Products.
5. NO WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The following disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability expressly supersedes and replaces such provisions in the Terms, specifically Section 10.1 and Section 11: REVVITY MAKES NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE REAGENTS PRODUCTS ARISING HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT SUCH REAGENTS PRODUCTS MAY BE USED WITHOUT INFRINGING THE PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTIES. REVVITY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER, NOR SHALL REVVITY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEMNIFYING CUSTOMER, FOR USE BY CUSTOMER OF THE REAGENTS PRODUCTS GENERATED PURSUANT TO THE PROPOSAL OR QUOTATION. REVVITY SHALL BE UNDER NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO CUSTOMER (WHETHER IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY EXPENSE, LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF PROFIT OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES) SUSTAINED BY CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OR INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSAL OR QUOTATION OR DERIVING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE REAGENTS PRODUCTS ARISING HEREUNDER. IN NO EVENT SHALL REVVITY’S LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSAL OR QUOTATION OR DERIVING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE REAGENTS PRODUCTS ARISING HEREUNDER EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR SUCH REAGENTS PRODUCTS.
BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER. IN THE EVENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THE COMPLETE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF CLAIMS AND DAMAGES AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, REVVITY’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
6. INDEMNIFICATION. In case of any actual or alleged third party claim of infringement against Customer or Revvity and its affiliates in the performance of the work described in the quotation or proposal, Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Revvity and its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and reimburse such parties for any expenses incurred in connection with such claim.
