11.      CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

11.1   Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that, in the course of performing its duties and obligations under this Agreement, certain information that is confidential or proprietary to such party (“Confidential Information”) will be furnished by the other party or such other party’s representatives. Each party agrees that any Confidential Information furnished by the other party or such other party’s representatives will not be used by it or its representatives except in connection with, and for the purposes of, the promotion, marketing, distribution and sale of Product(s) and parts under this Agreement and, except as provided herein, will not be disclosed by it or its representatives without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that all Confidential Information shall be clearly marked “CONFIDENTIAL” or, if furnished in oral form, shall be stated to be confidential by the party disclosing such information at the time of such disclosure and reduced to a writing by the party disclosing such information which is furnished to the other party or such other party's representatives within forty-five (45) days after such disclosure.

 

11.2    Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations of each party under Section 11.1 do not extend to any Confidential Information furnished by the other party or such other party’s representatives that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party or its representatives, (ii) was available to such party or its representatives on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure thereto by the other party or such other party’s representatives, (iii) was independently developed without the use of the other party’s Confidential Information by representatives of such party who did not have access to the other party’s Confidential Information, as established by contemporaneous written records, or (iv) becomes available to such party or its representatives on an non-confidential basis from a source other than the other party or such other party’s representatives; provided, however, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the other party or such other party's representatives.

 

11.3   Compelled Disclosure. In the event that either party or its representatives are requested or become legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or document subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information furnished by the other party or such other party’s representatives or the fact that such Confidential Information has been made available to it, such party agrees that it or its representatives, as the case may be, will provide the other party with prompt written notice of such request(s) so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the other party waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, such party agrees that it will furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information that is legally required and will exercise its best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion of such Confidential Information and other information being disclosed.

12.6     Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions shall remain, nevertheless, in full force and effect.

12.7      No Waiver; Amendment. No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be valid or binding on any party unless agreed to in writing by the party to be charged.

12.10   Construction; Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.13   Alternative Dispute Resolution.

 

12.13.1     In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the parties will endeavor to negotiate a mutually satisfactory solution. If a mutually satisfactory solution cannot be reached, the dispute shall, at either party’s written demand, be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“Rules”) by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Sacramento, California. The arbitration shall be held in the English language. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties and their respective personal representatives, heirs, devisees, successors and assigns.

12.13.2  Each party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matters for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to Section 12.2 [Governing Law]. Both Parties waive application of the procedures for service of process pursuant to the Hague Convention for Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents.

EXHIBIT C

Limited Warranty

 

Warranty

ThermoGenesis warrants to the original purchaser that the unit will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of shipment, except for the BioArchive System. For the BioArchive System ThermoGenesis warrants to the original purchaser that the unit will be free from defects in material or workmanship for two years from the date of shipment or one year from the date of installation, whichever occurs first. ThermoGenesis also warrants that spare parts will be free from defects in material workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days, with the exception of the BioArchive periscope which has a one year warranty, or the maximum time required by applicable local law, from the date of shipment of the spare part. Equipment failure due to reasons other than manufacturing defects such as accident, misuse or failure to timely perform scheduled maintenance in accordance with the maintenance schedule included with the operating instructions for the unit is excluded from Warranty coverage. This Warranty covers the cost of parts needed to make Warranty repairs. ThermoGenesis reserves the right to replace any malfunctioning unit or part with a new or refurbished unit in lieu of repairing such unit. This Warranty and ThermoGenesis’ obligation to repair or replace defective parts is the sole and exclusive remedy of purchaser. Under no circumstances shall ThermoGenesis be liable for consequential or economic damages that might arise from a defective part.

 

ThermoGenesis warranties, as set forth herein, are exclusive and are in lieu of, and purchaser hereby waives, all other warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose or warranty of non-infringement.

 

Procedure

If Warranty repairs are needed, contact the vendor or distributor from which you purchased your ThermoGenesis product(s), or if you purchased directly from ThermoGenesis or are unable to locate the appropriate vendor/distributor, contact ThermoGenesis directly at ThermoGenesis, 2711 Citrus Road, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742, Telephone: (916) 858-5100 or (800) 783-8357 in the U.S.; Fax: (916) 858-5199. For emergency repairs at night or on weekends or holidays, contact your ThermoGenesis Authorized Service Provider (“Service Provider”) directly and notify ThermoGenesis on the next business day. Failure to notify ThermoGenesis on the next business day after a request for emergency repairs may result in denial of coverage for that service call. When calling for service have available: (1) detailed information about the problem; (2) the serial number of the unit; (3) the service record for the unit; (4) the date and place of purchase of the unit.

 

Limitations. Equipment or spare part malfunctions other than those caused by defects in materials or workmanship, including malfunctions caused by misuse, accident or failure to perform scheduled maintenance, are excluded from coverage. Any alterations or modifications made to the unit (other than modifications or alterations made by ThermoGenesis) render the warranty null and void. ThermoGenesis will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental damages resulting from equipment malfunction or loss of use of the equipment. ThermoGenesis may authorize independent contractors to perform service. Service providers are independent contractors, not ThermoGenesis employees; consequently, ThermoGenesis is not responsible for the acts or omissions of the service providers, including without limitation, failure by a service provider to respond to calls for emergency service in a timely fashion.
