CONTRACT. The purchase order (“PO”), and these terms and conditions (collectively the “Agreement”), constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between the Herbalife entity identified in the PO (“Herbalife”) and the seller identified in the PO (“Seller”) if, and only if, there is no formal written agreement, signed by both parties governing this purchase. Modifications, specifications, drawings, instructions, attachments or exhibits will be made part of this Agreement only if authorized by Herbalife and Seller in writing. Seller’s signature, electronic acceptance, or acknowledgement of the PO, or commencement of performance constitutes its acceptance of the Agreement. The PO does not constitute a firm offer within the meaning of Section 2205 of the California Commercial Code, and may be revoked at any time prior to acceptance. In the event of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and any supplemental conditions, these terms and conditions shall prevail unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Herbalife. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Herbalife has the right to cancel this PO and receive a full refund of all payments within fifteen (15) days of issuance. 2. PRICE. The price to be paid hereunder for all tangible goods purchased (“Products”) and services to be provided (“Services,” together with Products, the “Work”) is listed on the PO. Unless otherwise specified in the PO, the price for the Work includes all taxes and other charges such as shipping and delivery charges, duties, customs, tariffs, imposts and government-imposed surcharges, which will be itemized on all invoices. Seller will use its best efforts to legally minimize Herbalife’s taxes resulting from the performance of this Agreement. Herbalife may deduct any amounts owed by Seller against any amounts Herbalife owes to Seller or any of its affiliated companies. 3. DELIVERY & TITLE. Time is of the essence in Seller’s performance of its obligations hereunder. Seller will immediately notify Herbalife if Seller’s timely performance is or is likely to be delayed. Herbalife’s receipt or acceptance of Seller’s notice of delay will not constitute Herbalife’s waiver of any of Seller’s obligations. If Seller’s delivery is late, Herbalife may treat this Agreement as repudiated by Seller, in which case it may cancel any outstanding deliveries, without prejudice to its rights to damages or any other remedy provided by law, and may recover damages under the Rejection provision below. 4. INSPECTION & Audit. Herbalife or its designated agents will have the right, from time to time, on reasonable notice and during business hours, to inspect, audit and/or carry out a general quality assurance review of Seller’s operations, facilities, manufacturing arrangements, inventory storage areas, records, documents, data and all other places and materials relating to the performance of Seller’s duties hereunder. 5. REJECTION. Herbalife may reject any or all of the Work which does not conform to the applicable specifications, is late, or does not meet Herbalife’s standards. Herbalife may (i) return the rejected Work to Seller for a refund; (ii) require Seller to replace the rejected Work; or (iii) Herbalife may accept the Work contingent on Seller providing a refund in an amount Herbalife reasonably determines to represent the diminished value of the non-conforming or substandard Work. Any costs resulting from Herbalife’s rejection of the Work, including but not limited to, fines, penalties, interest, storage, shipping, transportation charges, quality inspection costs, loss of product resulting from Seller or its Subcontractors issuing incorrect shipping documentation, failing to issue all necessary shipping documentation, loading incorrect product or incorrectly marked product shall be payable by Seller. Herbalife’s payment to Seller for Work prior to Herbalife’s timely rejection of such Work will not be deemed acceptance by Herbalife. 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
