WIGEN WATER TECHNOLOGIES: TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These terms (“Terms”) apply to each purchase order (“PO”) issued to Wigen Companies, Inc. (“Wigen”). Together with the applicable PO and any other documents attached or incorporated by reference (including any proposal (“Proposal”) or bid provided by Wigen), these Terms shall be made a part of any contract (“Agreement”) between Wigen and the party hereto (“Buyer”).

1.0 PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Products (“Products”) and services (“Services”) are those described in the Proposal/bid.

2.0 PURCHASE PRICE/TERMS OF PAYMENT. Except as set forth herein or as otherwise agreed in writing, the following price/payment terms apply. (a) The price for the Products and Services (“ Price”) is stated on the PO, absent typographic or other errors, which are subject to correction; (b) The Price shall remain valid until 60 days after the date Wigen submits its shop drawings to Buyer (the “Submittal Date”); if a Notice to Commence Fabrication (or the equivalent) (hereafter “Notice”) is not issued on or before 60 days after the Submittal Date, Wigen reserves the right to adjust the Price by change order. Specifically, Wigen reserves the right to adjust the Price by the ratio of the Producer’s Price Index (“PPI”) of the month that the Notice (or equivalent) is issued to the PPI of 60 days after the Submittal Date; (c) If applicable, Wigen will submit to Buyer a list of “long lead” items, where “long lead” items are defined as any material/item with a delivery lead time of 8 week or more from ordering (“Long Leads”). Buyer agrees to approve the ordering by Wigen of Long Leads within 21 days of receipt of the Long Leads list (“Long Leads Approval Period”); if Buyer does not, Wigen reserves the right to equitably adjust the Price of the Long Leads if the price of Long Leads increases after the Long Leads approval Period; (d) If AFTER Wigen submits its Proposal/bid, US-imposed tariffs or import fees are applied to any materials needed or desired for the Products or Services, Buyer agrees to pay Wigen for such additional costs on a documented, pass-through basis. Both parties may propose changes to the scope of supply; no proposed changes will be acceptable until agreed to by both parties in writing, which both parties agree in good faith to negotiate. Unless otherwise provided, payment shall be made via ACH or wire and is due in US dollars within 30 days from invoice date. When the Products are placed at the disposal of the Buyer or the end-user of the Products (“Owner”) or at a Facility (defined below) ready for unloading, delivery shall be deemed to have occurred, and invoices “due upon delivery” of Products shall be due 30 days thereafter. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, invoices due upon “Substantial Completion” shall mean payment is due 30 days after Wigen has tested control sequences, commissioned the Products, and provided training per the Proposal OR 90 days after delivery of the Products and/or Services, whichever is sooner. (If unable to achieve Substantial Completion due to delays of Buyer or its contractors, suppliers and/or agents (“Buyer’s Agents”) or of Owner, payment is due no later than 90 days after delivery of Products and Services). Any undisputed amounts not paid when due will be subject to interest computed at a rate equal to 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under law. Undisputed invoices shall be paid regardless of disputes relating to other invoices.

3.0 SUBMITTALS. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, (a) Buyer shall respond in full to all engineering submittals within two (2) weeks of the Submittal Date, and (b) the Price includes two (2) sets of submittals: a full initial submittal set and a second submittal set (which second set shall address return comments on the initial set). Unless due exclusively to the fault of Wigen, additional submittal sets due to (a) new and/or additional design and/or scope requests, and/or (b) lack of complete prior review by Buyer (and/or Buyer’s customer or representative of Buyer’s customer) will incur additional engineering fee(s). Submittal types and formats are per Wigen’s standard process; any unique or project specific submittal requirements/templates requiring additional engineering hours are subject to additional charges due by Buyer. Should Buyer delay in responding to submittals and thereby subject Wigen to additional expenses, including liquidated damages and/or other fees or penalties, Buyer agrees to pay such costs on behalf of Wigen.

4.0 SHIPMENT/DELIVERY. Wigen will package Products for shipment per Wigen’s standard shipping procedures in SP-200-P Shipping, Handling & Storage Procedure, which procedures are hereby incorporated. Title to Products shall not pass to Buyer until Buyer has paid in full for the Products. Buyer shall ensure that its facilities and/or the Owner’s facilities are reasonably suited for receipt and storage of the Products and further ensure adequate access to and available space for placement of all delivered Product.

5.0 FORCE MAJEURE. Wigen shall not be liable or in breach of this Agreement for any delay or failure of delivery or of any other performance caused in whole or part by any contingency beyond Wigen’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, endemics/pandemics, acts/threats of terrorism, acts/omissions of any government or governmental agency, shortage of or inability to secure labor, fuel, energy, raw materials, supplies or machinery at reasonable prices, and any other events/circumstances, whether similar or dissimilar, not within the reasonable control of Wigen. In such event, the time for Wigen’s performance shall be extended by the amount of time lost, plus additional time, if any, as reasonably necessary.

6.0 BUYER’S DELAY. Wigen shall not be liable or considered in breach of this Agreement for any delay or failure of delivery or of any other performance caused in whole or part by acts/omissions of Buyer or Buyer’s Agents, including failure of Buyer to timely respond to submittals, accept Delivery, delay installation or initialization, and failure to pay invoices when due. In such event, the time for Wigen’s performance shall be extended by the amount of time lost by reason of such acts/omissions, plus additional time, if any, reasonably necessary. Buyer shall be liable for additional expenses reasonably incurred by Wigen, if any, due to Buyer’s delays, including but not limited to storage fees (see Storage) and attorneys’ fees. In addition, in the event the time for delivery and/or startup and/or commissioning has arrived, and Buyer is unable or unwilling to accept delivery and/or commence startup and/or commissioning due to no fault of Wigen, such delays shall not excuse Buyer from making any milestone payments otherwise due to Wigen upon delivery and/or startup and/or commissioning.

7.0 STORAGE. If Buyer is unable or unwilling to take delivery of Products due to no fault of Wigen and the scheduled time for delivery to Buyer has arrived, Wigen may deliver Products to a storage facility (“Facility”) of its choosing (including storing Products at any Wigen facility), in which case, upon storage: (i) delivery to and acceptance by Buyer shall be deemed to have occurred; and (ii) all expenses related to storage of the Products shall be payable by Buyer upon submission of Wigen’s invoices (including reasonable expenses for storage at a Wigen Facility and/or additional material and labor). When conditions permit and upon payment of all amounts due Wigen, Wigen shall deliver the Products to Buyer or make the Products available for delivery to Buyer. Should Products remain in storage for 90 days or more, the balance of the Price shall be immediately due and payable.

8.0 TERMINATION/CANCELLATION. Should Buyer wish to terminate this Agreement for any reason other than Wigen’s default, Buyer shall pay Wigen for all materials and Products (whether procured, in progress, or completed), all lease fees incurred, and all Services performed, plus expenses reasonably incurred by Wigen in connection with termination. Either party may cancel this Agreement on written notice in the event the other party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within 30 days after first having knowledge or receipt of notice of such breach.

9.0 SERVICES/TRAINING. The Price includes equipment startup and those training hours and trips set forth in the Proposal/bid. Buyer/Owner may request additional hours and/or trips, which additional hours/trips Wigen will provide for such additional charges as are applicable. Buyer shall ensure that all personnel of Buyer/Owner who reasonably require training be present at all trainings.

10.0 SAFETY. Buyer shall take all safety precautions reasonably necessary to ensure a safe worksite and to comply with all applicable laws for the safety of persons/property. See 1M-220-P-Onsite Safety Requirements for Wigen’s complete safety requirements.

11.0 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND SOFTWARE CODE. Wigen retains all intellectual property rights and interest in and to all Products, materials, and information, (including copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret rights). Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Wigen’s scope and the Price do not include any proprietary computer programming code, including PLC, HMI, and VFD code.

12.0 LIMITED WARRANTY. If warranty documentation is not included within the Proposal/bid, or unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, see 7W-100- P-Wigen Water Technologies’ Limited Warranty for applicable terms of limited equipment warranty (excluding membranes and modules) and service warranty (“Warranty”). In the event Wigen delivers Product to a Facility for storage OR Wigen delivers Product to a job site but is unable to achieve Substantial Completion due to no fault of Wigen, the Warranty period will commence as per the terms of the Warranty, it being understood by Buyer that Wigen cannot assume responsibility for delays by Buyer/Owner. In such circumstances, Wigen agrees to work with Buyer in good faith to negotiate the terms of an extended warranty at an additional cost, if any.

13.0 LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. NEITHER BUYER NOR WIGEN SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, FORESEEABLE BUSINESS LOSSES, LOSS OF PROFITS, AND/ OR ECONOMIC LOSS OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS ARE AGREED ALLOCATIONS OF RISK AND SHALL SURVIVE A DETERMINATION OF ANY COURT THAT ANY REMEDY HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

14.0 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL WIGEN’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY BUYER.

15.0 DEFAULT. In the event of a material default by Buyer, Wigen may, in addition to other available remedies, (a) suspend in transit any shipment; (b) decline further shipments; (c) postpone further performance until such default is corrected; (d) cancel this Agreement/PO; and (e) declare all amounts owed by Buyer payable immediately.

16.0 INDEMNITY.

Buyer may disclose Information to Buyer’s Agents with a bona fide need to know under this Agreement, provided prior to such disclosure, Buyer informs Buyer’s Agents of these requirements and obtains from Buyer’s Agents agreement(s) in writing to be bound by confidentiality terms at least as restrictive as those applicable to Buyer.
