Unless Buyer provides Seller with written instructions regarding shipment of products, Seller shall ship products in accordance with Seller’s usual shipping practices. Seller shall make shipment as near to the expected delivery date as possible, and it may ship in installments with each installment to be separately invoiced and paid for when due, but no rights shall accrue to Buyer hereunder by reason of Seller’s delay in shipping on or by such expected delivery date.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the following order quality variations shall constitute acceptable delivery for any flexible packaging order: 10-20 MMSI, 20%; 20-30 MMSI, 15%; and 30+ MMSI, 10%. For all other orders, a variation of 10% or less in the order quantity shall constitute acceptable delivery. Title, possession, and risk of loss or damages in transit, shipping, storage, handling, loading, or otherwise stay with Buyer from shipment until delivery to destination designated on the order. Buyer agrees that by providing a signature at the shipping dock of their facility at time of delivery they are acknowledging and accepting the product as in good condition and not damaged in shipping, Seller is not responsible for damage occurred during the delivery process, and claims must be made by Buyer to the shipping company.  Buyer waives any right to modify the shipping contract.

Seller will not produce the products until the pre-press proofs have been marked “O.K.” or “O.K. with corrections” with written documentation of approval and, if Buyer wishes to review and approve the revised pre-press proofs prior to production, such a request must be made in writing when the pre-press proofs are returned. Seller cannot be held responsible for errors under any or all of the following conditions: if the work is printed per Buyer’s O.K., if changes are communicated verbally, if Buyer has not ordered proofs, if Buyer fails to return proofs with indication of changes, or if Buyer has instructed Seller to proceed without submission of proofs. If Buyer is available at press at the time of make-ready, Seller shall not produce the products, or render any related services, unless or until Buyer signs an inspection sheet evidencing Buyer’s approval of the press proof. Such inspection sheet shall be in a form Seller deems appropriate. Lost press time due to Buyer delay or Buyer changes will be charged at current rates. Because of differences in equipment, processing, proofing substrates, paper, ink, pigments, and other conditions between color proofing, and product pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in color between color proofs and the completed job shall constitute conforming goods.

  1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY  Any item or material (including, but not limited to, proofs, hardware, software, drawings, and artwork) which Seller creates or purchases for use exclusively in the production of materials or provision of services for Buyer will be used only for that purpose but shall be and remain Seller’s property and in Seller’s possession and control, and any charges therefore shall be for the use of such items or material. If artwork provided to Buyer by Seller is modified by Buyer with or without Seller’s direction, such modified artwork shall be and remain Seller’s exclusive intellectual and personal property and in Seller’s possession and control; any original artwork provided to Buyer by Seller shall be returned to Seller at Seller’s request subject to this Paragraph 7.

  1. INDEMNIFICATION  Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller from and against any claims for infringement of patents, copyrights, trade dress, trade secrets, or trademarks or from unfair competition claims based upon any design, legend, or other matter, whether or not prepared by Seller, printed upon the materials or used by Buyer at Buyer’s request.

  1. REMEDIES AND SECURITY INTEREST  Failure by Buyer to make any payment due hereunder, or on request to give proper shipping instructions, or to accept delivery times stated, or to comply with all terms of any contract between Buyer and Seller shall give Seller, in addition to all other available remedies, the right at its option to deduct any undelivered quantities of material, products, or services, whether under this or any other contract between Buyer and Seller. In partial consideration for Seller’s sale of goods or provision of services to Buyer, Buyer hereby grants to Seller without further authorization, and Seller hereby retains a security interest in, all goods sold to, furnished to, or provided to Buyer and documents relating to such goods now or hereafter in the possession of or under the control of Buyer, title to which might at any time be determined to have passed to Buyer, including, without limitation, all inventories of the goods or any other product bearing any trademark or trade name of Seller, returns, or repossessions and the proceeds, including insurance proceeds and proceeds from products in which the goods sold by Seller to Buyer were an input, of all of the foregoing, together with the additions and accessions thereof, to secure all of Buyer’s obligations to Seller under this agreement and all other obligations of Buyer to Seller.

If, without Seller’s prior written approval, Buyer removes from Seller’s possession any working mechanical art, type, negatives, positives, flats, plates, or Buyer-approved materials (collectively “production materials”) supplied to Buyer for use in production of any products specified herein, then Buyer shall pay Seller at time of removal an additional fee of thirty percent (30%) of the total cost to Seller of creating the same. To secure Buyer’s obligations to Seller, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a security interest consistent with the terms of this provision.
