Seller shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless AH, its successors, assigns, affiliates, employees, agents, customers and users of its products and services (collectively, the “Affiliates”), of and from any claim, loss, damage (whether for personal injury, property damage, or direct or consequential damage or economic loss), deficiency, action, demand, judgment, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from the Goods sold or Services rendered hereunder, or from any act or omission of Seller, its agents, employees or subcontractors, or which otherwise arises as a result of (i) Seller’s performance of its obligations hereunder or (ii) any violation or infringement by Goods or Services provided hereunder of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade dress, and trade secret, or any other contractual right, proprietary right or intellectual property right, of any third party (collectively, any “Claim”). If any Claim should be asserted or action commenced against AH for which AH is entitled to indemnification hereunder, Seller (a) shall, upon AH’s demand, promptly undertake the defense of any Claim, employing counsel reasonably satisfactory to AH or (b) agrees that AH, at AH’s sole discretion, may elect to defend any Claim on its own behalf. In either case, Seller will, upon demand, pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred by AH in connection with such defense, any judgment or award resulting from any such claim or action and any settlement paid by AH with Seller’s consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably. This indemnification shall survive delivery of the Goods to or performance of the Services for AH, as the case may be, and any subsequent sale or other transfer of the Goods or Services to a third party. AH’s remedies hereunder are cumulative and in addition to those provided by law or any other contract.

However, all Goods provided under this Purchase Order are subject to final inspection and acceptance within a reasonable time after actual delivery and AH shall have the right to reject any defective or nonconforming Goods despite any prior inspection by Seller. Payment for any Goods shall not be deemed an acceptance thereof.

Seller warrants that all Services rendered hereunder, if any, will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with the applicable professional industry standards of diligence, care and skill currently recognized in Seller’s industry. The warranties contained herein shall begin at the time of performance, receipt at the delivery location or installation, if applicable, whichever is later, unless a later time is specified in the manufacturer policy stated in the Project Description. Such warranties shall survive for greater of (a) one (1) year, (b) the standard warranty term provided by Seller to its customers, or (c) as provided under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing shall not limit any additional warranty or warranty period otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. The warranties contained herein shall survive any inspection, delivery, performance, acceptance, or payment by AH of the Goods or Services. AH may, at its option, return for credit or require prompt replacement or correction of any of the Goods or Services which do not conform to the foregoing warranties at Seller’s expense. In the event that Seller fails to make such replacement or correction, AH shall have the right to obtain such replacement or correction from other sources. Any and all increased costs and expenses thereby incurred by AH in obtaining such replacement or correction shall be off set against any moneys due or to become due to Seller or shall be recoverable as damages hereunder. Corrected or replaced Goods or Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Purchase Order in the same manner and to the same extent as Goods or Services originally delivered hereunder. If part of the Goods to be delivered or Services to be performed hereunder are defective or nonconforming, AH may cancel any unshipped portion of the Goods or cancel any unperformed Services, as the case may be, covered by the Purchase Order. The rights of AH provided in this Paragraph 16 shall be in addition to any other rights provided by law, this Purchase Order, or any other contract.

  1. ASSIGNMENT

Seller shall not delegate any duties, nor assign any rights or claims under this Purchase Order, or for the breach hereof, without the prior written consent of AH. Any such attempted delegation or assignment shall be void. Any change of control of Seller shall be deemed an assignment hereunder.
