Seller will immediately notify McElroy in writing when it becomes aware of any component, design, or other defect, including, without limitation, that is or may become harmful to persons or property.
  • Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, the warranty shall survive any inspection, delivery, acceptance, or payment by McElroy, which shall in no way waive or otherwise impair McElroy's right or ability to make warranty claims against Seller.
  • "Defective Product" shall mean any Product that fails to conform to the warranty described in Section 6.a. above in any respect whatsoever. "Epidemic Failure" shall mean: (i) more than [five percent (5%)] of Seller's Products delivered to McElroy within a one-year period proves to be Defective Product (as determined by McElroy's quality systems/analysis), or (ii) any Product that is subject to a mandatory or voluntary recall.

7. Cancellation / Default / Termination

  • McElroy reserves the right to cancel all or any part of this Order without payment or penalty if Seller does not make deliveries as specified, or fails to make progress as to endanger timely performance of the work, or if Seller breaches any of these Terms, including without limitation the warranties of Seller, or if McElroy's business purpose is substantially frustrated, or in the event Seller becomes insolvent or there is filed by or against Seller, a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, or other insolvency proceeding.

  • All Products shall be received subject to McElroy's inspection and rejection. Title to the Products passes to McElroy upon the first to occur of (i) full payment for the Products; or (ii) delivery of the Products to McElroy's location and acceptance by McElroy. Defective Products or Products not conforming will be held for Seller's instruction and at Seller's sole risk of loss. Seller shall bear all risk of loss or damage to the Products until delivery of the Products to the applicable McElroy location and acceptance by McElroy thereof.
  • McElroy has the right to inspect and test the Products at any time before delivery and may enter Seller's facilities to inspect the facilities, Products, materials, and any other related item related to the subject Order.

9. Material Furnished by McElroy

  • Any material, including but not limited to tools, molds, dies, gauges, jigs, fixtures, and other similar items furnished by McElroy (or other third party at the direction of or on behalf of McElroy), on other than a charge basis in connection with the Order, shall be deemed as held by Seller upon consignment for the benefit of McElroy.

11. Orders for Castings - Special Terms

  • Almost all cast aluminum parts utilized by McElroy receive hard anodize plating as a final process. Any weld repairs on aluminum castings show up prominently after hard anodize as black discoloration that does not match the surrounding cast material. Since any such welded areas are not easily discernible on the raw castings, McElroy is often unaware of any such issues prior to incurring the cost of machining the hard anodize. Therefore, any weld repairs on Products that include castings require McElroy approval before proceeding. Though seldom acceptable, there may occasionally be minor repairs that could be made depending on the part number, location and severity of the defect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, no welded castings are to be shipped without prior written approval from McElroy.

12. Confidential Information

  • Seller agrees not to utilize or disclose to others any confidential information, drawings, or data except as permitted under the terms of the mutual non-disclosure agreement entered into by the parties and incorporated herein by reference.

  • Seller agrees that to the extent this Order is issued for the creation of copyrightable works, that the works will be considered "works made for hire", and to the extent that the works do not qualify as such, to assign to McElroy upon delivery thereof all right, title and interest in all copyrights and moral rights therein (including source code).
  • At no additional cost, Seller will and hereby does grant McElroy a license to use any intellectual property owned by Seller that is necessary or incident to the reasonably intended use or application of the Products.

  • Seller's acceptance of this and furnishings of Products hereunder shall constitute certification by Seller of such compliance as McElroy shall request from time to time.

18. Remedies

  • The remedies herein reserved shall be cumulative and additional to any other or further remedies provided in law or equity.

Seller shall be liable for all damages, direct and indirect, resulting from the breach of any of the terms and conditions herein contained.

19. Relationship of the Parties

  • Seller and McElroy are independent contracting parties and nothing in these Terms or the Order will make either party the employee, agent, or legal representative of the other for any purpose.

21. No Solicitation

  • Except to the extent prohibited by law, Seller shall not, without the advance express written consent of McElroy, recruit or solicit any McElroy employee during the period of time when the parties are engaged in commercial activity and for a period of one (1) year thereafter.

In addition, in respect of each such breach (with each occurrence or repetition thereof constituting a separate breach event), Seller shall pay on demand to McElroy an amount equal to such employee's prior year's compensation as a reasonable estimate of damages, and not as a penalty, without prejudice to McElroy's right to claim, initiate legal proceedings for, and collect such greater amount of damages as may be sustained by McElroy. It is understood and agreed that this provision is reasonable and necessary for the protection of McElroy's business and is essential to these Terms.

22. Governing Law; Venue

  • The construction and interpretation of these Terms and performance of any Order, including, without limitation, the resolution of any claims or disputes arising from, related to, or in connection with any Order, or the Products that are the subject of any Order, will be governed by the internal laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to or application of its principles or laws regarding conflicts of laws. The parties agree that the provisions of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of 1980 (and any amendments or successors thereto), and any conflict of laws provisions that would require application of another choice of law are expressly excluded. Any claim or dispute arising from, related to, or in connection with any Order, or the Products that are the subject of any Order (whether such claim is based upon breach of contract, tort, or other legal or equitable theory) shall be subject to the exclusive venue and jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

  • These Terms and the Order constitute the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof (and thereof) and no revision or amendment shall be binding unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of McElroy.
