Any partial cancellation shall not affect Seller’s obligations with respect to the un-cancelled portions of the Purchase Order. Seller agrees that Buyer shall have no liability for cancellation of the Purchase Order for standard Products. In the event of any cancellation of the Purchase Order for nonstandard Products, Seller agrees to stop all affected work immediately, shall take all steps reasonably necessary to minimize any liability with respect to Products to be delivered by Seller hereunder, and shall promptly provide to Buyer a written inventory of all Product work in process and a written summary of all Seller’s third party obligations with respect thereto.

If Buyer requests, Seller will promptly re-perform any Service that does not conform to the foregoing requirements.
    (a) Seller agrees that if, in the course of performing the Services, Seller or any agent, subcontractor, consultant or any other party fulfilling the Seller’s obligations hereunder (each, a “Seller’s Representative”) incorporates into any work product or utilizes in the performance of the Services any pre-existing invention, discovery, original works of authorship, development, improvements, trade secret, concept, or other proprietary information or intellectual property right owned by Seller or Seller’s Representative(s) or in which Seller or Seller’s Representative(s) has an interest (“Prior Inventions”), Seller hereby (i) grants to Buyer a nonexclusive, royalty-free, paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, worldwide license (with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses) under such Prior Inventions to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, sell, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise exploit the work product and (ii) ensures that, at no cost to Buyer, that the Seller’s Representatives grant to Buyer a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, worldwide license (with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses) under such Prior Inventions to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, sell, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise exploit the work product.

If any agreements with any of Seller’s Representatives provide such rights in and to work product to Seller rather than to Buyer, Buyer shall acquire all such rights in such Seller’s Representatives’ contributions by operation of this provision. All work product and any reproductions thereof shall be surrendered to Buyer by Seller upon completion or termination of the Purchase Order, whichever occurs first. Work product may be used by Buyer without restriction and may not be used by Seller or Seller’s Representatives, if any, without Buyer’s prior written consent.

With respect to any Products or Services which fail to comply with the foregoing warranties, Seller shall accept return of such Products, or work product in the case of Services, from Buyer (at Seller’s expense), and at Buyer’s option (and Seller’s expense) promptly: (a) repair such Products or work product to correct the nonconformance and return such Products or work product to Buyer; (b) replace such Products or work product with Products or work product that do so conform and return them; or (c) refund all amounts paid to Seller for such non-conforming Products or work product.

    and hold them harmless from and against any costs, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to any claim, demand, threat, suit or proceeding regarding any: (a) actual or alleged infringement of any worldwide patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, maskwork or other third party right arising from or related to the use or sale by an Indemnified Party of any Products or work product furnished hereunder; (b) alleged defect in the Products or work product, including without limitation any failure of the Products or work product to comply with their specifications; (c) any breach of these terms, including without limitation any breach of warranty hereunder; and (d) negligent or intentional acts, errors, or omissions by Seller, its employees, officers, agents, or representatives in performance of its obligations under these terms (each, a “Claim”).

Buyer may freely assign any of its rights or obligations or the Purchase Order Terms. Seller will comply with all statutory requirements and regulations applicable to the performance of its obligations hereunder. The rights and remedies provided to Buyer herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or equity. If any part of the Purchase Order Terms is found by any competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable, the Purchase Order Terms will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same effect as the original provision and the remainder of the Purchase Order Terms will remain in full force and effect. No part of the Purchase Order Terms shall be deemed waived or modified except in a writing signed by both parties. A waiver of any of the provisions of the Purchase Order Terms shall not affect the right to enforce such or any other provision. No delay or omission by Buyer exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver of such right or remedy, or prejudice the right of Buyer to enforce such right or remedy at any subsequent time. Any notice required or permitted to be given pursuant to the Purchase Order Terms shall be sent, if to Buyer, by email to LegalNotices@tunetx.com, or if to Seller, by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Seller at Seller’s place of business, to the attention of such person as Seller may specify for itself in writing. The Purchase Order Terms are to be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that would require application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. The state and federal courts located in Seattle, Washington, USA shall have sole jurisdiction over any disputes arising hereunder, and the parties hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed.
