Purchase Order Terms and Conditions
These Purchase Order Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are incorporated into each Purchase Order, which makes reference to these Terms and Conditions, issued by DEKA Research & Development Corp. or any of its affiliates (collectively “DEKA”) to any vendor or other supplier of goods and/or services (“Supplier”). By accepting any such Purchase Order or providing goods or services in response to any such Purchase Order, Supplier agrees to these Terms and Conditions.
- If Supplier is supplying goods, Supplier represents and warrants to DEKA that Supplier has all necessary rights and title to transfer the goods to DEKA, that the goods are free of liens, that the goods are new and unused, that the goods conform to any applicable specification, that the goods are merchantable and fit for any particular purpose which DEKA may have made known to Supplier, and that the goods do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any party. If Supplier is supplying services, Supplier represents and warrants to DEKA that Supplier has the training, experience, employees and equipment necessary to properly and competently render the services, that the services will be rendered in accordance with all applicable laws and generally prevailing standards, that DEKA will be the exclusive owner of all deliverables delivered by Supplier to DEKA in connection with rendering the services and all designs, inventions, copyrights and other intellectual property rights in such deliverables, and that the services do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any party.

- Except as necessary to deliver goods or services to DEKA under the Purchase Order, Supplier shall neither use nor disclose to any third party any confidential information of DEKA that may be communicated to Supplier.

- Supplier shall invoice DEKA for goods after delivery and for services after the services are rendered. DEKA shall pay Supplier’s invoice within thirty (30) days.

or any other cause of action) in excess of the prices stated on the Purchase Order for services actually rendered to DEKA or goods actually received by DEKA. - The Purchase Order and these Terms and Conditions are the entire agreement between Supplier and DEKA and may only be amended by a written agreement signed by Supplier and DEKA. These Terms and Conditions supersede any conflicting terms in any document delivered by Supplier to DEKA.
- Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Purchase Order or these Terms and Conditions or the breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules [including the Emergency Interim Relief Procedures]. The Arbitration shall take place in Manchester, NH. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be final, and no party may take any action, judicial or administrative, to overturn this decision. The judgment rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
