Buyer may reject any article which contains defective material or workmanship or does not conform to specifications, samples or warranties. Any articles so rejected may be returned to Seller at Seller’s risk and expense, and at full invoice price plus applicable transportation charges both ways. No defective article or material shall be replaced unless requested by Buyer in writing.

Seller may not assign the contract evidenced hereby, or any obligation, right or interest herein, including but not limited to any monies due hereunder, without the prior written permission of the Buyer, any attempted assignment in violation of this provision shall be void. Any permitted assignment shall provide that payment to an assignee of any such claim shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this contract, to Buyer’s right of set off or recoupment for any past, present, or future claim(s) which Buyer may have against Seller, in addition to such terms and conditions as Buyer may reasonably request. Any permitted assignment shall be valid only after Seller has supplied Buyer with two properly executed copies of the assignment.

(14) TERMINATION–Without limiting Buyer’s right to cancel this purchase order for default of Seller, as provided below, Buyer may terminate all or any part of the work under this order and process claims therefore, for its convenience in accordance with the provisions set forth in FAR 49.502, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

(15) DEFAULT OF SELLER–Buyer reserves the right to cancel all or any part of the undelivered portion of this purchase order in the event Seller for any reason fails to perform any of the provisions of this purchase order, including specified times for delivery, or fails to make progress so as to endanger performance of this purchase order in accordance with its terms. Buyer shall also have the right to cancel this order or any part thereof if Seller becomes insolvent, makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a bankruptcy petition if filed which is not vacated within thirty days from the date of filing. Except with respect to defaults of its subcontractors, Seller shall not be liable for damages if the failure to perform this purchase order arises out of causes beyond the control and without fault or negligence of Seller, such as acts of God or of the public enemy, fires, floods, strikes, freight embargoes, or acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity; but in every case the failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Seller. If the failure to perform is caused by the default of a subcontractor, and if such default arises out of causes beyond the control of both Seller and the subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either of them, Seller shall not be liable for damages suffered by Buyer. If after notice of cancellation under the provisions of this article, it is determined that such cancellation was not in accordance with the terms of the purchase order, such notice of cancellation shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to Article 14 entitled “TERMINATION,” and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall in that event be governed by such articles.

The failure of Buyer to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms of this purchase order or to exercise any rights herein conferred, shall not be construed as a waiver of any terms and conditions herein, and Seller's obligations with respect to any different or future performance shall continue in full force and effect.

(16) BUYER FURNISHED PROPERTY–All drawings, data, tooling, articles, material and information furnished by Buyer to Seller including propriety rights therein and copies made therefrom shall not be used in any manner and for any purpose other than for work to be performed for Buyer.

Said items including copies or reprints thereof shall be promptly returned to Buyer upon completion of this work. Said items or copies thereof shall not be made available to other persons without Buyer’s prior written consent, and if Buyer so consents, Seller agrees to place similar restrictions on them and insure their return to Buyer.

If the price stated on the face hereof includes separately the entire cost of any such dies, tools and/or patterns acquired by Seller for the purpose of filling this order, such dies, tools and/or patterns shall become the property of the Buyer.
