5. Shipping Charges

Unless the Agreement expressly states otherwise, all Goods shall be shipped FOB: the "Ship to" location designated in the Purchase Order.

6. Acceptance

This Agreement, when accepted by the Vendor, shall constitute the entire agreement between Drexel and the Vendor and shall not be altered, amended, or canceled without the prior written approval of the Drexel University Procurement Agent. Acceptance of this Agreement must be made on the exact terms of this Agreement, and such acceptance is expressly made conditional on these exact terms, and if the Vendor's written response (or quote) contains additional or different terms, such terms are hereby objected to, such response will constitute a counter offer, and no contract shall come into existence without Drexel's express written consent.

No disclaimer of any warranty will be valid.

8. Right of Inspection

All Goods shall be received subject to Drexel's inspection within a reasonable time after receipt; but neither Drexel's inspection nor failure to inspect or reject shall relieve the Vendor of any obligation hereunder. If, prior to final acceptance, any Services furnished are found to be incomplete, or not as specified, Drexel may reject them, require Vendor to correct them without charge, or require delivery of such Services at a reduction in price that is equitable under the circumstances.

Vendor agrees to procure all necessary permits or licenses and abide by all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances of the location where the Services are provided.

9. Delays

If delivery or completion dates cannot be met, Vendor shall immediately inform Drexel. Such notice shall not, however, constitute a change to the delivery or completion terms of this Agreement unless Drexel modifies this Agreement in writing. If any Goods are not received or if any element of the Services is not completed by the date specified, Drexel, at Drexel's option and without prior notice to Vendor, may either approve a revised date or may cancel this Agreement and may obtain such Goods or Services elsewhere and in either event, the Vendor shall be liable to Drexel for any resulting loss incurred by Drexel. Vendor's sole remedy for a delay caused by Drexel shall be an extension in the time for Vendor's performance equal to the duration of Drexel's delay. Neither party shall be liable for damages resulting from failure to deliver or complete, or for delays in delivery or completion occasioned by strikes, lock-outs, fires, wars or acts of God.

11. Indemnity

Vendor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Drexel, its affiliates, trustees, officers, employees, other members of its workforce, patients, students, subcontractors and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs, penalties, fines and other expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and any expenses an Indemnified Party incurs in notifying individuals of a Data Breach caused by Vendor) regardless of by whom such claim or claims may be asserted, resulting from, or relating to, the acts or omissions of Vendor or its employees, other members of its workforce, directors, trustees, officers, subcontractors or agents, in connection with the duties and obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, intellectual property infringement, personal injury, property damage and Data Breach, that may result directly or indirectly from the use, possession or ownership of the Goods or from the Services provided by Vendor pursuant to the Agreement. Vendor acknowledges that the indemnity granted to Drexel by this Agreement includes indemnification for claims brought by employees of Vendor against Drexel. In the event that such a claim is made by an employee of Vendor, Vendor agrees to waive the immunity that the Workers' Compensation Act provides to employers against indemnity claims by parties such as Drexel or the any other Indemnified Party.

12. Assigned Personnel; Character of Services

Vendor will provide the Services as an independent contractor and furnish all equipment, personnel and material sufficient to provide the Services expeditiously and efficiently, during as many hours per shift and shifts per week, and at such locations as Drexel may so require. Vendor will devote only its best-qualified personnel to work under the Agreement. Should Drexel inform Vendor that anyone providing the Services is not working to this standard or fails to meet other Drexel standards, Vendor will immediately remove such personnel from providing Services and he or she will not again, without Drexel's written permission, be assigned to provide Services. At no time will Vendor or Vendor's employees, sub-contractors, agents, or assigns be considered employees of Drexel for any purpose, including but not limited to workers' compensation provisions.

13. Assignment / Subcontracting

Vendor may not assign or transfer this Agreement whether in whole or part by merger, operation of law or otherwise without prior written consent of Drexel. Drexel may withhold its consent for any reason whatsoever or for no reason. Vendor shall not, except in the case of raw materials, castings, forgings or rough welded structures, or standard commercial goods, or except as otherwise agreed in writing by Drexel, delegate or subcontract the work on any item of material or service to be delivered or performed under this Agreement.

14. Termination

Drexel may terminate this Agreement by written notice, in whole or in part, at any time for any or no reason without incurring liability to Vendor for lost profits, or any other costs or damages, other than the proportionate value of the purchase price for Services completed on Site or Goods delivered. Payment due shall be a percentage of the purchase price equal to the percentage of the Services completed and/or any unit prices in the purchase price specified for Goods delivered. Vendor's warranties and Vendor's liability for defective or non-conforming work or Goods, as well as Sections 9, 10, 11, 21, 22, 30 and 31(h) shall survive termination and remain in full force and effect.

15. Bankruptcy

In the event of any proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency by or against the Vendor, or in the event of the appointment (with or without the Vendor's consent) of an assignee for the benefit of credits, or of a receiver, Drexel may cancel this Agreement for default.

16. Changes

Drexel may, from time to time, by written instructions or drawings issued to the Vendor, make changes, issue additional instructions, require additional work, or direct the omission of work previously ordered. If such changes affect the cost of or the time required for performance of the Agreement, Drexel and Vendor will agree upon an equitable adjustment in the price and/or delivery terms. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all such written modifications.
