Subject to these Terms, and to any restrictions (i) printed on any Product packaging, label, insert, Product user manuals or instructions, whether provided with the Products or available for download, (ii) appearing in or included with the Software or any Documentation, or (iii) listed on our website, we grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Products sold and/or licensed to you by us or our authorized distributor only in accordance with the applicable, then-current Documentation, and no other use (an “Excluded Use”) is authorized hereunder.

4.0 SHIPMENT

4.1 Shipment. All deliveries to destinations within or outside the United States will be made pursuant to the shipping Incoterm specified on our price quotation, or, if none, either our standard shipping terms (which are FCA (Incoterms 2020) at our or our designee’s facility) or such other terms as the parties agree in writing. Title (except for Software, which is only licensed, never sold), and all risk of loss passes to you, and our liability as to delivery ceases, when we load the commercial carrier at our or our designee’s facility, unless otherwise specified above. The price for Products does not include any costs for shipping, freight, handling, duties, insurance and/or related costs and you are responsible for such costs, and unless waived, if we incur any such costs, we will invoice you separately. We do not guarantee delivery or any delivery dates and will not be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind or nature whatsoever caused by delivery or any delay in delivery irrespective of the cause of such delay. Any provision in your terms indicating a delivery date and/or that time is “of the essence” (or other terms of similar import) for delivery or other performance by us will be void and of no effect. Delivery of Products will be in accordance with our then applicable manufacturing and delivery schedule. We may reprioritize scheduling of any deliveries in our sole discretion.

4.2 Inspection. You must notify us of any damaged or missing Products within five (5) days of receipt. Products rejected by you will be held by you and may be returned only upon our written authorization. We may inspect, repair, replace, or offer credit in respect of any damaged, missing, and/or rejected Products in our sole discretion. These are your sole and exclusive remedies for rejected Products. You will take photographs of any damaged shipping crate immediately upon delivery, refuse delivery from the carrier if any damage to the crate is evident, promptly unpack and visually inspect any Products, and immediately notify us of any crate damage or damaged or missing Products or components, in writing within five (5) days of receipt. You must also inspect the exterior of any instrument crate for activated “shock” or “tipping” sensors (“Sensors”) at time of delivery. Activated Sensors or visible damage must be reported to the carrier on the bill of lading, which must be signed by you and given to the driver at the time of delivery, and you must provide us with a copy of the signed bill of lading together with photographs of the activated Sensors within five (5) days of delivery and retain all containers and packing materials. Hazardous materials authorized for return must be packed, labeled, and shipped in accordance with regulations governing transportation of hazardous materials and any other applicable requirements.

4.3 Installation. Your failure to agree on an Instrument delivery and installation schedule within thirty (30) days of the order, or failure to permit a delivery, installation, and validation of an Instrument, will be deemed a material breach of these Terms. It is your responsibility and cost to have the installation site prepared and available for installation in accordance with our site requirements and free of hazardous or unsafe conditions. You must have appropriate Customer personnel present at any such installation. You will not request Seer personnel to work in biosafety level 3 or level 4 laboratories without our prior written consent. Networking of stand-alone computers is your responsibility. Installation and acceptance of the Products are deemed to be complete after the successful completion of our installation specifications. We may provide you a notice of completion of Instrument installation and validation which you will sign and return within five (5) business days.

5.0 PAYMENT.

5.1 Order Process. Our price quotations for Products and/or services will incorporate these Terms, and your acceptance of a quotation or submission of a Customer Order will constitute acceptance of the Terms even if you fail to acknowledge or sign the quotation. You may submit to us written orders (each a “Customer Order”) which we may accept or reject in whole or in part via written notification, including e-mail. You may not cancel Customer Orders after acceptance by us unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing.

5.2 Payment. We will invoice you for Instrument(s) typically upon shipment but no later than installation and validation, for Consumables upon shipment, and for other Products or services upon our acceptance of a Customer Order or as otherwise determined by us. You will pay each invoice within the time period specified on the price quotation, or, if none, thirty (30) days of the date of invoice. Payments are not refundable. You will be liable for, and will pay any taxes and related charges, however designated, unless you provide us with a valid tax-exempt certificate. If any such taxes and related charges are paid by us, you will reimburse us promptly after receiving written invoice(s) from us. In addition to any other remedy available to us for late payment, you will pay us interest on the overdue amount at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate allowed under law, whichever is less, for each month, or partial month, calculated from the date such payment was due until the date paid, and we may suspend our performance of the Terms until all outstanding amounts are received.

6.0 WARRANTIES.

6.1 Instrument Warranty. We warrant, only to you, that each Instrument purchased by you, as delivered and under normal use will: (1) conform in all material respects to our specifications in effect at the time of delivery; and (2) for a period of twelve (12) months from installation and validation, be free from material defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service; in either case unless the applicable specifications, quotation or Documentation states that a different warranty or no warranty is provided. Your exclusive remedy, and our sole liability and obligation, under this warranty is limited to repairing, replacing (including parts, labor, and shipping to and from us or our authorized designee) or giving credit for, at our sole discretion, any Instrument for which written notice of the nonconformity is provided to us for a period of twelve (12) months from installation and validation, (the “Warranty Period”). Warranty repairs and/or service may, at our sole option, be conducted by our personnel, or our authorized service provider, on-site at your facility, or at another Seer-authorized location. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in performing any warranty service hereunder, we reserve the right, at our sole option, to repair or replace the Instrument or any component thereof. Without limiting the foregoing warranty, repairs and replacements may be performed prior to acceptance or during the Warranty Period with reconditioned or refurbished products, parts, or subassemblies. This warranty expressly does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear maintenance performed by you or a third-party’s failure to observe the Documentation, operation instructions, or installation not carried out by us or our authorized vendors, or replacement costs of any Consumables. This limited warranty is subject to certain exceptions listed below.

6.2. Consumables Warranty. We warrant, only to you, that Consumables purchased by you will be free from material defects in material and workmanship upon delivery to you, for use as set forth in the Documentation. All Consumables warranty remedies are subject to the condition that warranty claims must be received by us in writing no later than thirty (30) days after the earlier of any shelf-life date, expiration date, “use by” date, “guarantee date” or other end of recommended use date, or the date stated on the Consumables’ label or in the Documentation. Your exclusive remedy, and our sole liability and obligation, under this warranty is replacing, or, at our option, giving credit for, any Consumables not meeting the above warranty for which written notice is provided to us within the applicable period. If the defect(s) in material and workmanship diminished but did not prevent performance of the Consumables, any amount refunded may be apportioned according to our reasonable allocation of the value of the diminished performance. The decision of whether to replace Consumables or give credit will be made by us in our sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, custom Consumables made to specifications of Customer are sold “AS IS”, without any warranty whatsoever, express or implied, except to the extent set forth in any separate express written limited warranty included in the Documentation or in the quotation. Except as set forth above, expiration dates, shelf life, “use by,” guaranty or other end of recommended use dates are included for informational purposes only and will not be deemed as a period of warranty. This limited warranty is subject to certain exceptions listed below.

6.3 Software Warranty. We warrant, only to you, that as of the date of delivery of an Instrument that includes Software, that for the Warranty Period, such Software, when properly installed and used as set forth in the applicable Documentation, will function substantially in accordance with the functions and features described in such Documentation. Your exclusive remedy, and our sole liability and obligation, under this warranty are limited to using reasonable efforts, commensurate with the severity of the nonconformity, discrepancy, or failure, to correct, or, at our option, giving credit for, any material nonconformity, discrepancy, or failure of the Software for which written notice is provided to us within the Warranty Period. We do not warrant that use of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free, or that any Software warranty nonconformity, discrepancy, or failure will be corrected, or a workaround provided, within any particular time frame. This limited warranty is subject to certain exceptions listed below.

6.4 Exceptions. The foregoing warranties will not apply to any Product or component thereof that (i) was subject to improper or abnormal use or storage, abuse, neglect, negligence, accident, including without limitation failure to properly perform routine maintenance and maintain the Product or any component thereof in accordance with our site requirements or the use of the Product or any component thereof, with any non-Seer product, or use of the Product contrary to the Documentation; (ii) has been repaired, altered, disassembled, reassembled or removed from your lab or facility by persons other than us or our designee; (iii) use of the Product in any manner other than its intended use or other than for research use only purposes; (iv) has failed due to externally caused short circuits, incorrect voltages, failure or fluctuation of electrical power, lightning, static or other improper external inputs, or (v) due to civil unrest, threat of or actual acts of terrorism or war, embargoes, governmental actions, acts of God, pandemics, earthquakes, floods, storms, fires, supplier delay, accidents, explosions, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, or other such contingencies beyond the reasonable control of the applicable party. Use of an Instrument with consumables other than Consumables, or use of Consumables with other than an Instrument, will void the warranty for both the Instrument and the Consumables. Any attempt to repair or otherwise alter a Product or any component thereof, except as may be specifically pre-authorized by us in writing in each case, and except for cleaning and replenishment or replacement of specific elements, as may be provided in the Documentation, will void the warranty. Without limiting the foregoing, and regarding software, these warranties will not apply to any nonconformity, discrepancy, or failure that is caused by the use or operation of the software in an environment other than that intended or recommended by us, or modifications to the software not made or authorized by us. We make no standalone warranty regarding the Software. These warranties are not transferable or assignable, including without limitation, in any re-sale of an Instrument or third-party computing system, if any, and any such attempt to transfer or assign these warranties will be void for any unit to which they apply. Repair or replacement of a Product or component thereof will not extend the original Warranty Period. Our warranties do not cover de-installation, re-installation, or transportation of a Product or component thereof, and do not cover the operation or use of third-party products. We recommend that you use trap and elute LCMS workflow for peptide analysis. We hereby disclaim any responsibility or liability, including, without limitation, any incidental or consequential damages, with respect to the use of, or failure to use, any recommended procedures or third-party equipment, including, but not limited to, trap and elute LCMS workflow.

6.5 Procedure for Coverage. To be eligible for repair or replacement under this warranty you will: (i) promptly contact our support department to report the non-conformance, (ii) cooperate with us in confirming or diagnosing the non-conformance, and (iii) return the Instrument or Consumables, as applicable, if requested by us, transportation charges prepaid to us following our instructions or, if agreed by us and you, grant our authorized repair personnel access to the Instrument to confirm the non-conformance and make repairs. Any different or additional warranty terms stated by you will be void and of no force or effect.
