Time of delivery of this Order is of the essence, and Purchaser reserves the right to cancel, without cancellation charges, all or any part of this Order if not filled within the specified time. Exercise of such right of cancellation shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right reserved to the Purchaser herein, or by law, for any delay or failure to deliver as specified. If delivery is delayed by a force majeure event, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser no later than five (5) days after such force majeure event and such notice shall include a description of the particulars and the estimated duration of the force majeure event. The time for Seller’s performance may be extended for a period equal to the time such performance is delayed, but such relief shall be conditioned upon Seller’s initial and continued satisfaction of notice, reporting, remedy, and mitigation requirements of this Order. Under no circumstances shall Seller be entitled to an adjustment of the Order price by virtue of the force majeure event. For purposes of this Order, “Force Majeure Event” means any cause beyond the reasonable control of, not reasonably foreseeable by, and not due to the fault of the Seller, including, but not limited to, any act of God; act of civil or military authority; act of war; civil disturbance; severe inclement weather conditions atypical for the location and/or season; flood; or embargo. “Force Majeure Event” does not include (a) shortages or late delivery of materials, equipment, supplies or labor required for the design, manufacture of the material, equipment, or services furnished under this Order (collectively, the “Work”), (b) the acts or omissions of Seller or its suppliers (except and only to the extent that such act or omission of such supplier would itself be excused as being a Force Majeure Event), (c) strikes or work stoppages, (d) economic hardship or (e) commercial impracticability or impossibility as defined under Wisconsin law. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate available products or supplies under the Order equitably between Purchaser and Seller’s other customers or if a Force Majeure Event results in a shortage of available products or supplies under the Order, Seller shall allocate the products or supplies on a pro rata basis to all of Seller’s customers, including Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Force Majeure Event continues for a period of more than ten (10) days, the Purchaser may terminate the Order without penalty.
If liquidated damages are included as a part of the contract between Purchaser and its customer and this Order is entered into pursuant to that contract, in the event Purchaser is obligated to pay liquidated damages to Purchaser’s customer or owner, then Purchaser may assess the same against Seller in proportion to Seller’s share of the responsibility for such delays and Seller agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Purchaser to the extent that any delays were caused by the acts or defaults of Seller. In addition, Seller shall also be liable for all additional damages Purchaser may incur as a result of Seller’s failure to complete Seller’s work and Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Seller all actual costs, expenses or damages incurred by Purchaser as a result of Seller’s failure to perform timely, one portion of said actual damages which shall constitute the liquidated damages chargeable to Seller for Seller’s share of the responsibility for any delays.
All Work covered by this Order shall be subject to, at reasonable times, inspection and testing by Purchaser, or the Purchaser’s customer, before, during and after manufacture, installation, or commissioning. Seller shall include in all suborders a statement providing for inspection rights by Purchaser or Purchaser’s customer. Seller shall notify Purchaser at least three (3) business days prior to the performance of any factory tests or the occurrence of other events identified as witness and hold points set forth in this Order if the tests or events will occur in a facility located in North America. If the tests or events will occur in a facility located outside North America, then Seller shall notify Purchaser at least seven (7) business days prior to the occurrence of such tests or events. If Purchaser arrives at the Seller’s facility, or other location where inspection and/or testing will occur, and the material and/or equipment is not ready for inspection and/or testing, all increased costs incurred by Purchaser in the trip to such location shall be reimbursed by Seller.
The price of this Order is not subject to change or surcharges of any kind resulting from the imposition now or in the future of any sales or use taxes or import/export duties unless expressly set forth herein. It is further agreed that, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the specifications, Seller shall not be entitled to any cost or price escalation except to the extent expressly set forth in this Order. If prices in effect at the date of acceptance of this Order are reduced prior to the date of delivery or performance, or if Seller lowers prices to other purchasers under similar conditions and in similar quantities before delivery, Seller agrees to afford to Purchaser the benefit of such reduction or lower prices. This Order may not be filled at a higher price than last quoted or charged without Purchaser’s prior written consent. If no price is specified, the price is to be the price of the last delivery to Purchaser.
In the event the contract of Purchaser with Purchaser’s Customer or Owner or another contractor is terminated, cancellation of this Order shall occur automatically, without cancellation charges, by the Seller, and no obligation of any description whatsoever shall exist on the part of the Purchaser toward the Seller. Furthermore, Purchaser shall have the right, at any time and at its sole discretion, to terminate this Order, in whole or in part, for its convenience, by giving written notice to Seller specifying the extent to which this Order is terminated and the effective date of such termination. Seller shall discontinue performance of the Work under this Order to the extent that the notice so specifies but shall continue to perform any portion of the Work not terminated. If the Purchaser exercises its right to terminate without cause, Seller shall promptly assign to Purchaser, in form and in content satisfactory to Purchaser, Seller’s rights, title and interest to the goods purchased for or committed to the terminated Work (whether completed or in progress) and to work-in-progress and completed Work. Subject to Seller’s compliance with the above provisions, Seller shall recover from Purchaser, as complete, full, and final settlement for such terminated Work, a sum equal to its actual direct cost for the terminated Work delivered as of the date of termination. Any payment to Seller for terminated Work shall be less any amounts previously paid to Seller on account of such terminated Work. Should termination without cause be preceded by a suspension of the Work, the parties agree that any cost and schedule impacts associated with suspension will be excluded from any calculation of costs for termination hereunder. In no event shall Seller be entitled to any prospective, anticipated, or loss profits or any damages of any type with respect to the terminated portion of the Work. If Purchaser terminates this Order for Seller’s default, Seller shall be responsible for all damages caused by its default, including, but not limited to, extra costs for Purchaser to procure material, expenses incurred in inspection, receipt, transportation, care, and custody of rejected goods, any charges, expenses, or commissions in connection with affecting cover, administrative costs, and attorneys’ fees.
The Contract price appearing on this Order is final as to payment for the Work covered by this Order, as defined by the enumerated specification paragraph numbers, with exceptions as noted, and there shall be no additions to or other modifications of such Contract price, except as such modifications may result from actual change in the specifications or such reductions required by Section 4 above. If such changes become necessary, any alteration of the Contract price shall be covered by separate order, which shall be issued to cover such changes. Seller shall not proceed with changes affecting Contract price without specific authorization in WRITING from the Purchaser.
Seller agrees as follows: (1) to pay all Federal and State taxes on the payroll of its employees under the terms of the various benefits, including but not limited to old age, unemployment or pension, now enacted or which may be enacted prior to completion of this Order; (2) to carry and pay for the insurance requirements as listed in Exhibit A of this Order; and (3) to abide by and comply with all Federal and State laws and regulations concerning employment, wages and hours of employees engaged in the Work, and agrees to defend and indemnify the Purchaser and save Purchaser harmless from all claims which may be made against it by an employee or employees or Governmental Agencies as a result of Seller’s failure to comply with such Federal and State laws and regulations.
Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that all Work performed under this Order meets all standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and Construction Safety Act of 1969, as amended, and of applicable State and Local laws and regulations pertaining to safety. The Seller agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Purchaser harmless of and from any loss, including but not limited to any fines, penalties and corrective measures Purchaser may sustain by reason of Seller’s failure to comply with said laws or regulations in connection with the Work.
Seller represents and warrants that all Work performed pursuant to this Order (a) strictly conforms to the specifications, drawings, data, samples, or other descriptions furnished or specified by Purchaser; (b) are new, merchantable and free from defect in material, workmanship and design, and are fit for their intended purposes; (c) are free of liens or claims by any third party; and (d) the Work including any equipment, materials or Services provided do not infringe on any intellectual property rights of a third party. Work not in accordance with this Order may be rejected and returned by Purchaser at Seller’s risk and expense. Payment for non-conforming Work shall not constitute acceptance thereof, or limit or impair Purchaser’s right to assert any legal or equitable right or remedy. No substitutions, alterations, or modifications to the specified or approved Work pursuant to this Order will be allowed without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Seller shall promptly repair, replace, or correct any Work not conforming to the above warranties, without expense to Purchaser. If Seller fails to correct defects in or replace non-conforming Work promptly, Purchaser may repair, replace, or correct such Work and charge Seller for all costs incurred by Purchaser for doing so. Purchaser’s acceptance of delivery, inspection, final inspection, or payment for any Work does not waive any warranties. Seller hereby waives the benefit of reliance on course of performance, course of dealing and trade usage in its performance under this Order.
All Work furnished under this Order shall be subject to the approval of the Purchaser’s customer, Owner, architect, engineer, or any other party designated in the specifications, and Seller shall furnish the required submittal data and/or number of samples for said approval. In the event such approval is not obtained, this Order shall be deemed to be cancelled, with no liability on the part of either Purchaser or Seller. Seller agrees to be bound to the Purchaser by all terms of the contract between the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s customer, and the Owner to the extent applicable to the Work. If the Work does not meet the plans and specifications of the relevant project, Seller shall, upon receipt of notice, immediately replace the same, or remedy any deficiency, without expense to the Purchaser; and further, Seller shall pay to Purchaser all loss or damage resulting therefrom. Purchaser shall have the right to backcharge Seller for the costs that Purchaser incurs in performing any corrective work required to remedy the Seller’s non-performance. The backcharge may include, but is not limited to, engineering, labor, material, transportation, insurance, subcontracts, tools, and equipment. In addition, an allowance of 25% of the direct cost will be added for Purchaser’s overhead, supervision, and administrative costs.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its officers, directors, employees, successors, assigns, and all others whom Purchaser is obligated to defend and indemnify (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of, resulting from or in any manner connected with the performance of this Order including but not limited to claims, damages, losses and expenses arising out of bodily injury or death, property damage, breach of warranty, product liability claims, liens and encumbrances on the goods covered hereby, or Seller’s failure to comply with this Order, or the requirements of any applicable law, rule, regulation, ordinance or governmental matter, but only to the extent caused by the negligence, willful misconduct, or acts or omissions of the Seller, the Seller’s subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them. This indemnification extends to actual or alleged infringement of letters, patent, or of any litigation based thereon covering any article purchased. The obligations of this Section shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity that would otherwise be available to the Purchaser. Seller understands and agrees to undertake these obligations regardless of whether the injured person asserting a suit or claim is an employee of Seller, its subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. Seller’s indemnity obligation under this Section shall not be limited in any way by the operation of a workers’ or workmen’s compensation act, any disability act, or any other employee benefit act. Seller further agrees to obtain, maintain, and pay for commercial general liability insurance which conforms to the requirements of this Order and such other insurance types and limits as are specifically required by this Order, to secure the provisions of this Section. Seller and Purchaser agree that this Section complies with the requirements of WIS. STAT. § 895.447 as amended. This indemnification obligation shall survive termination or expiration of this Order.
Seller shall maintain the insurance requirements as listed in Exhibit A of this Order.
If requested by Purchaser, Seller shall furnish all necessary lien waivers, affidavits or other documents required to keep the Owner’s premises free from liens or claims for liens arising out of the services provided under this Order and/or the furnishing of the material or equipment herein, as payments are made from time to time under this Order.
Both parties to the Order have read and understand the same, and all previous orders, proposals, letters, oral or written promises and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter of this Order, are either merged herein or, if inconsistent herewith, voided hereby. This Order and the other contract documents are intended to supplement and complement each other and shall, where possible, be thus interpreted. If, however, any provisions of this Order irreconcilably conflicts with a provision of the other contract documents, the provision imposing the greater duty or obligation on the Purchaser shall govern.
In the event of Seller’s default of any of the terms or conditions set forth herein, the Seller agrees to pay all costs resulting therefrom, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
In addition to any right of setoff provided by law, all amounts due Seller or its affiliates under this or any other purchase order or contract shall be considered net of Seller’s indebtedness or obligation to Purchaser and its affiliates; and Purchaser may deduct any amount due or to become due from Seller and its affiliates from any sums due or to become due from Purchaser or its affiliates.
Purchaser retains the right at any reasonable time to send its authorized representatives to examine all pertinent documents and materials in the possession or under the control of Seller relating to any of Seller’s obligations under this Order or any payments requested by Seller pursuant to this Order. Seller shall maintain all pertinent books and records relating to this Order for a period of five (5) years after completion of services or delivery of products pursuant to this Order.
If any provision of this Order is invalid or unenforceable under any statute, regulation, ordinance, executive order, or other rule of law, such shall be deemed reformed or deleted, but only to the extent necessary to comply with such statute, regulation, ordinance, order or rule, and the remaining conditions of this Order shall remain in full force and effect. This Order’s headings will not be used to interpret this Order. This Order was negotiated by Seller and Purchaser who had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel. This Order may only be waived, modified, or supplemented by a written document signed by Seller and Purchaser’s authorized representatives. No failure(s) or delay(s) in exercising any right or remedy will waive that party’s right to later require strict performance. All this Order’s provisions including, without limitation, those relating to safety, regulatory compliance, warranty, insurance, and indemnification will survive termination of this Order and enforceable to the full extent necessary to protect Purchaser.
This Order shall be interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Wisconsin. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Order, the parties agree that all disputes arising out of or related to this Order shall be resolved in accordance with the following procedure:

Within fifteen days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the Parties shall commence direct negotiations with management officers authorized to enter into a binding resolution or settlement of the dispute. Should direct negotiations fail to resolve the dispute(s) within fifteen days of the commencement of negotiations, all disputes, claims and matters in controversy relating to or arising from the Order, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless Purchaser provides written notice to Seller that that it has elected in its sole discretion, that all such disputes, claims, and matters in controversy shall be decided by litigation.. The Parties further agree that the sole and exclusive location and forum for such arbitration or litigation shall be the Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Circuit Court.

Seller will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant. However, employees who have access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as part of their essential job functions cannot disclose the pay of other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to compensation information, unless the disclosure is (a) in response to a formal complaint or charge, (b) in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or (c) consistent with the Seller’s legal duty to furnish information.
