Every invoice shall set out applicable taxes separately.   In addition, the Contractor’s appropriate tax registration number shall be clearly displayed on every invoice.   The Contractor acknowledges that payment of any invoice submitted to CMCC shall be paid on the latter of the following two dates:

1. within thirty (30) days following the date on which the non defective Goods have been delivered to CMCC;   or
   

2. within thirty (30) days following the date on which an invoice or progress payment are received.
   

Note:   The payment period may be adjusted in consideration of any payment discount in the Contractor’s invoice.   Discounts will be calculated from the date when both the Goods and an acceptable invoice have been received from CMCC.

If CMCC has any objection to the content of the invoice, CMCC shall, within thirty (30) days of its receipt, notify the Contractor of the nature of the objection.   The Contractor agrees to provide clarification as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of the objection.   The Contractor acknowledges that CMCC may withhold payment until such time as the objection has been cleared to the satisfaction of CMCC.

Inspection of Goods and Defective Goods:   Goods will be received by CMCC subject to final inspection and acceptance by a person duly authorized by CMCC to accept the Goods.   Goods found to be defective or not in compliance with the specifications may be returned to the Contractor at the Contractor’s expense.   The Contractor agrees to repair or replace any defective or non-compliant Goods at its own expense.



4. Warranty:   The Contractor expressly warrants that the Goods will conform to the specifications, drawings, samples or descriptions furnished to or by CMCC and will be of marketable quality, of good material and workmanship and free from defect.   In addition, the Contractor acknowledges that CMCC knows of CMCC’s intended use of the Goods and expressly warrants that the Goods will be fit and sufficient for the particular purposes intended by CMCC.   In supplement of, and not by way of substitution for, the terms of the specifications or any warranty stipulated or implied by law, and notwithstanding prior acceptance of the Goods by CMCC the Contractor shall at anytime within its standard warranty period, at its own expense replace any Goods which are or become defective as a result of faulty or inefficient manufacture, materials or workmanship.   The Contractor shall state its standard warranty period and related terms and conditions at the time of delivery.

6. Intellectual Property:   The Contractor warrants that it has the right to use and sell any patented devices or parts used in the Goods purchased and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CMCC against any claims for royalties, license fees or other claims or demands by reason of the use or sale thereof, whether or not any such devices or parts are specified by CMCC or used by the Contractor in the goods purchased without such specifications.
   
   
7. Risk:   The Goods shall be at the risk of the Contractor, who shall bear all loss or damage, from whatsoever cause arising, which may occur to the Goods, or any part thereof, until delivered to CMCC.   CMCC reserves the right to change the place of delivery at any time prior to actual shipment, provided that the Contractor shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any actual increased cost, or shall reduce the prices to the extent of any decreased cost, arising out of such change.
