Seller guarantees that all products sold hereunder, as of the date of
shipment, to be on such date, not adulterated or misbranded within the
meaning of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or
amendments thereto, and are not articles which may not, under the
provisions of the Act, be introduced into interstate commerce.
2. Warranty.
Product manufactured under this Agreement is warranted to be in
accordance with the specifications provided by purchaser in writing
and/or to be in accordance with the United States Federal Food, Drug
and Cosmetic Act, or amendments thereto existent at the time of

This warranty is exclusive and is in lieu of any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or other warranty of quality, except title. THE VENDOR ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER SUSTAINED BY PURCHASER, RESULTING FROM ANY NON-CONFORMITY OR DEFECTIVE CONDITION OF SUCH GOODS. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for determining the adequacy of the product for any and all uses to which purchaser shall apply the product and the application of the product shall not be subject to any implied warranty of fitness for that purpose.
In the event the product described in this Confirmation is found to be defective in materials, workmanship, or not in conformance with this expressed warranty, seller’s liability for any defects in accepted products shall be limited to replacing such defective products at Indianapolis, Indiana when products have been returned to seller and proved by seller’s examination to be defective, or at seller’s option, seller may refund the purchase price of such defective product. Failure of purchaser to notify seller in writing by certified mail of its rejection of defective products within 30 days after purchaser’s receipt thereof, shall constitute an acknowledgment by purchaser that such products shipped are satisfactory in all respects and supplied in accordance with ordered specifications. Failure to test, inspect and to make such a claim within said period, shall be conclusive evidence that the products shipped are satisfactory in all respects and supplied in accordance with ordered specifications.
Purchaser shall indemnify and hold seller harmless against (i) all claims, causes of action, liabilities, costs and damages of every kind that may be asserted against seller as a result of or arising out of the use by a third party of the product, including but not limited to causes of action brought by a customer of purchaser under theories of breach of warranty or contract, negligence or strict liability: and (ii) all attorneys’ fees and expenses seller may incur in connection with such matters. Purchaser further agrees that should purchaser be a party to any cause of action or litigation, purchaser shall not join seller as a party thereto, and shall not join in any other parties’ attempt to join purchaser in such litigation.
3. Patent Infringement.
Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold purchaser harmless with respect
to any liability or purchaser for infringement of seller’s
patents, trademarks (except trademarks used on products at the request
of purchaser) or copyrights, if any, arising out of the use or sale of
products supplied to purchaser under this Agreement. Purchaser shall
communicate to seller all charges of such alleged infringement within a
reasonable time after their receipt. Purchaser will cooperate fully
with seller in defending or otherwise resolving such charge of
infringement. Seller will have full control of the defense of all
litigation brought against purchaser for alleged infringement by
products supplied under this Agreement upon which seller holds the
patent, trademark or copyright. Purchaser, at its expense, shall be
entitled to be represented by its own counsel in any such litigation.
Seller agrees to bear its costs and expenses of litigation, including
its own attorney fees in connection with such alleged infringement, and
seller will reimburse purchaser for each disbursement made by purchaser
in satisfaction of the final judgment issued in such litigation. In the
event that sale of such product is enjoined, seller shall repurchase
purchaser’s inventory of such product at the cost paid by
purchaser.
4. Restocking Fee.
Products returned due to overstocking will be subject to a 15%
restocking fee.
5. Dakins products are non-returnable due to expiration dating limitation.
6. Product Recall.
In the event of a product recall, Century Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will
provide you, as the customer, with the specific lot number(s) of the
product affected. The customer agrees to provide, without charge,
Century Pharmaceuticals, Inc. with the contact information for each
customer who purchased the recalled product, down to the retail
customer. Contact information includes, but is not limited to name,
address, phone, fax and e-mail address. If customer does not track
shipments by lot number, customer will provide contact information, to
the retail level, for a range of dates. The range will start when the
first potential shipment of the recalled product was received by the
customer, and will continue until a specific date, to be determined at
the time of the recall. Century reserves the right to determine how the
recall process will be administered. Customer must receive a Return
Authorization Number (RAN) from Century Pharmaceuticals, Inc. before
returning any product. Century will pay for return freight of a
recalled product, provided it has an RAN. If the customer chooses any
other process, or to use a third party processor, Century will only
reimburse recall costs deemed reasonable by Century Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.
7. Failure to Deliver.
The seller shall be excused from any liability for failure to deliver
if such failure is due to the objection of any government or
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the seller, or the
seller’s suppliers, restrictions, prohibitions, acts of God,
public enemies, fires, earthquakes, floods, strikes or other labor
difficulties, hostilities (war or insurrection), riots, transportation
embargoes, accidents, epidemics and other hindrances of any kind, and
all other causes beyond seller’s control.
8. Payment Terms.
Terms of payment are shown on the front of this Confirmation. No
deductions from the sale price shall be taken by purchaser for return
goods or for debit memos issued by purchaser unless approval is given
by seller. In the event of any delay through any circumstances
whatsoever in the payment of invoices submitted in accordance with the
terms hereof, seller reserves the right to (i) protect its interest in
such goods in any way it deems advisable using any and all of the
remedies afforded to it under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code or similar applicable act, including but not limited to stoppage
in transit; and (ii) to suspend the delivery of any further goods and
to terminate any unexecuted contract with the purchaser without
prejudice to any other remedy that may be available to the seller. If,
in the opinion of the seller, the financial condition of purchaser at
any time does not justify the continuance of production or shipment on
terms of payment specified, the seller may require full or partial
payment in advance. If shipments are delayed by purchaser, payment
shall become due from the date the seller is prepared to make shipment.
9. In the event the purchaser changes the specifications of the goods, the prices hereunder will be increased or decreased to correspond to the amount of increase or decrease in material, labor, professional services, overhead and other factors incurred by the seller as a result of such changes. Prices quoted, unless otherwise specifically set forth are F.O.B. Indianapolis, Indiana.
10. Taxes Not Included.
Unless otherwise stated, seller’s prices do not include
sales, use, excise or similar taxes. Consequently in addition to the

excise or other similar tax applicable to the sale of goods hereunder
shall be paid by the purchaser, or in lieu thereof, the purchaser shall
provide seller with a tax-exemption certificate acceptable to the
taxing authorities.
11. Cancellation.
No cancellation of this contract by the purchaser for any reason shall
be effective unless agreed in writing by seller, and then only upon
payment of reasonable charges based upon expenses and costs already
incurred and commitments made by seller.
