7. Patents and Copyrights Subject to the limitations set forth herein and in Section 6, Seller warrants that the Goods sold, except those Goods made specifically for Buyer according to Buyer’s drawings or specifications or otherwise at Buyer’s direction, do not infringe any valid U.S. patent or copyright, as the case may be, in existence as of the date of shipment. This warranty is given upon the condition that Buyer promptly notify Seller of any claim or suit involving Buyer in which such infringement is alleged, and that Buyer cooperates fully with Seller and permits Seller to control completely the defense, settlement or compromise of any such allegation of infringement. Seller’s warranty as to use patents only applies to infringements arising solely out of the inherent operation, according to Seller’s specifications and instructions, of such Goods. In the event such Goods are held to infringe upon a U.S. patent or copyright in such suit, and the use of such Goods is enjoined, or in the case of a compromise or settlement by Seller, Seller shall have the right, at its option and expense, to procure for Buyer the right to continue using such Goods, or replace them with non-infringing Goods, or modify same to become non-infringing, or grant Buyer a credit for the purchase price less 20% for each year or fraction thereof since it was shipped to Buyer. In the event of the foregoing, Seller may also, at its option, cancel this agreement as to future deliveries of such Goods, without liability. Buyer agrees to indemnify and save Seller harmless from all expenses and damages resulting from any claim, suit or proceeding for alleged infringement of any patent or copyright based in whole or in part upon the manufacture, sale or use of any Goods or any part thereof, in combination or assembly with machinery or apparatus not furnished under this agreement.

Seller shall not be liable for any nonperformance or any default or delay in performance if caused, directly or indirectly, by acts of God, acts of Buyer, war, fire, flood, weather, sabotage, riot, civil commotion, strikes, lock-outs, slowdowns, picketing or other labor controversies, accidents, delay or default of or failure by carriers, shortages of labor, delay in obtaining or inability to obtain materials, equipment or parts from regular sources, action, request or regulation of or by any government or governmental authority, or any other happening or contingency beyond Seller’s reasonable control, or without Seller’s fault, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. Deliveries or other performance may be suspended for an appropriate period of time or canceled by Seller upon notice to Buyer in the event of the foregoing, but the balance of this agreement shall otherwise remain unaffected as a result of the foregoing. If Seller determines that its ability to supply the total demand for the Goods, or to obtain material used directly or indirectly in the manufacture of the Goods, is hindered, limited or made impracticable due to causes set forth herein, Seller may allocate its available supply of the Goods or such material (without obligation to acquire other supplies of any such Goods or materials) among itself and its purchasers on such basis as Seller determines to be equitable without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom.
9. Cancellation. Buyer may cancel orders only upon reasonable advance written notice and upon payment to Seller of Seller’s cancellation charges which include, among other things, all costs and expenses incurred, and to cover commitments made, by Seller and a reasonable profit thereon.

Buyer may not return Goods without first advising Seller of the reasons therefore, obtaining from Seller a material authorization number and observing such instructions as Seller may give in authorizing such return. Buyer, at its option and expense, may inspect and observe the testing by Seller of the Goods for compliance with Seller’s standard test procedures prior to shipment, which inspection and testing shall be conducted at Seller’s plant at such reasonable time as is specified by Seller. Any alleged rejection of the Goods at Seller’s plant must be made promptly by Buyer before shipment. Tests shall be deemed to be satisfactorily completed and the test fully met when the Goods meet Seller’s criteria for such procedures.
