In the event a Product shall be repaired, the Purchaser shall inform Robota of the cost associated with the repair in order for Robota to decide whether to repair or replace the Product.

Robota may in its sole discretion choose the counsel to defend the Robota Indemnitees. Purchaser shall promptly pay any retainers, attorney’s fees, and costs associated with the defense of the Robota Indemnitees within 30 days of receiving invoices related to the same, unless payment within a shorter period is required by the Robota Indemnitees or their counsel of choice or those assisting said counsel. Any failure by Purchaser to promptly make such payments shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement.

  4. These Terms and the Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the substantive laws of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict of laws principles of any jurisdiction. To eliminate doubt, the Parties intend that Texas substantive and procedural law apply to any disputes arising from or out of these Terms or the Agreement.

  5. Except as otherwise provided below, any dispute, controversy, or claim relating to or arising out of these Terms, the Products, or the Agreement, or to the interpretation, construction, or breach thereof, or to the existence, scope, or validity of these Terms or the Agreement, will be referred to, and shall be resolved by private binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.  The arbitration shall either be before the AAA or JAMS.  The arbitration shall be heard by a panel of three (3) arbitrators in Dallas, Texas.  Either Party may submit to the other Party a statement of claims demanding arbitration and setting forth the basis for the claim and the relief requested.  Each Party shall select one arbitrator and the third arbitrator shall be mutually agreed by the Parties.  If the Parties cannot agree on the third arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the notice of claim, then the other two arbitrators will collectively select a third arbitrator.  Each arbitrator will be a solicitor, attorney, judge, or similar professional knowledgeable in business law.  The resolution of any controversy or claim as determined by the arbitrators will be binding on the Parties, and judgment upon the award rendered pursuant to such arbitration may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, a party may seek from the courts in Dallas County, Texas, USA or federal courts sitting in Dallas, Texas, USA an order to compel arbitration, or any other interim relief or provisional remedies pending an arbitrator’s resolution of any controversy or claim.  The Parties agree that Purchaser’s continued use of any rights, property, Robota Confidential Information, or other licenses of Robota after the termination of the Agreement shall entitle Robota to obtain injunctive relief against Purchaser and others acting in concert with it, if any, in the courts of Dallas County, Texas, USA or federal courts sitting in Dallas, Texas, USA. The Parties must attend hearings in the arbitration in person in Dallas, Texas, USA.

  6.

  3. Nothing in these Terms or the Agreement shall create a joint venture between the Parties.

  4. The Purchaser shall have no authority, in any manner or to any extent, to represent or legally bind Robota. Neither Party may act as a representative for the other Party towards third parties.

  8. If any provision of these Terms or the Agreement or part thereof is held to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions and portions of these Terms or the Agreement shall nevertheless be given full force and effect.

  9. A failure or delay by either Party to enforce any right under these Terms or the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or any other right and shall not modify the rights or obligations of either Party under these Terms or the Agreement.  Any waiver by either Party under these Terms or the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or any other right in the future.

  10. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and communications, whether oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement.  No amendment or modification of the Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by both Parties.

Purchaser is responsible for shipment to Robota and assumes all costs and risks associated with this transportation; return shipment to Purchaser will be at Robota’s expense. Purchaser shall be responsible for return shipment charges for Product returned where Robota determines there is no defect (“No Defect Found”), or for Product returned that Robota determines is not eligible for warranty repair. No charge will be made to Purchaser for replacement parts for warranty repairs. Robota is not responsible for any damage to or loss of any software programs, data or removable data storage media, or the restoration or reinstallation of any software programs or data other than the software, if any, installed by Robota during manufacture of the Product.

 

The above warranty provisions shall not apply to any Product (i) which has been repaired, tampered with, altered or modified, except by Robota, (ii) in which the defects or damage to the Product result from normal wear and tear, misuse, negligence, improper storage, ingress of water or other liquids in non-IP67 rated products, use of parts or accessories not approved or supplied by Robota, or failure to perform installation, operator handling and scheduled maintenance instructions supplied by Robota, or (iii) which has been subjected to unusual physical or electrical stress, abuse, or accident, or forces of exposure beyond normal use within the specified operational and environmental parameters set forth in the applicable Product specification, nor shall the above warranty provisions apply to any expendable or consumable items supplied with the Product.

 

EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE AND THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES STATED ABOVE, ROBOTA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES ON PRODUCTS FURNISHED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE. THE REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS STATEMENT IS PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR WARRANTY CLAIMS, AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REMEDIES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO BUYER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.
