The facility, veterinary provider or other such customer (collectively, “Buyer”) agrees to purchase and accept EAS products (“Products”) in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. EAS rejects and objects to any and all terms proposed by Buyer, whether contained in Buyer’s purchase order or elsewhere. If EAS and Buyer have signed a separate, written agreement governing Buyer’s purchase of Products, then the terms of such agreement shall govern.

1. INSPECTION; PRODUCT RETURN. Upon receipt of each shipment of Product, Buyer shall promptly inspect such shipment to determine whether the entire shipment was received and to confirm that the Product was shipped in validated containers (if applicable), that all observable seals were intact, and that the shipment otherwise meets the packaging and shipping specifications related to the transportation and distribution of allograft tissue, including with respect to cryopreserved Product, that it was received within the stated shipment expiry. Buyer shall inform EAS in writing of any claim(s) relating to a shipment that contains a shortage of Product, which incurred damage during shipment, or that otherwise fails to conform to the shipping and delivery specifications for the Product immediately after Buyer learns, or should reasonably have learned, of such claim. Product shall be returned to EAS by Returned Material Authorization (RMA). If Buyer does not provide such notice to EAS, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the shipment of Product as complete and conforming, as applicable. Upon receipt of any such notice, EAS, at its sole discretion, may either: (i) replace the shortfall and/or non-conforming Product; or (ii) credit Buyer for the shortfall and/or non-conforming Product. The foregoing shall be Buyer’s sole remedy in the event of a shortfall or non-conformance claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EAS shall have no liability in the event that the replacement of any Product shall have been necessitated by the fault or negligence of Buyer.
