  4. Inspection.  Customer shall have 48 hours upon receipt of any ordered Products to inspect and either accept or reject such Products (“Inspection Period”).  Any Products received by Customer shall be deemed to have been accepted by Customer unless Customer notifies Netfast in writing of any non-conforming Products during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by Netfast.  In the event that Customer timely notifies Netfast of any non-conforming Products, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Netfast’s sole liability in connection with any such Products supplied hereunder shall be, at Netfast’s sole discretion, to: (i) replace such non-conforming Products with conforming Products; or (ii) refund the Product Price for such non-conforming Products together with all shipping and handling expenses incurred by Customer in connection therewith.

  1. Software Licenses.  Customer acknowledges that Netfast is not an authorized distribution partner for all of the equipment manufacturers whose goods are sold by Netfast, and that Netfast does not sell equipment software and firmware licenses.

9. Confidential Matters.

  1. Confidentiality.  Netfast and the Customer agree that they may gain access to or become familiar with trade secrets, confidential computer databases, computer files, and other material that, by its circumstances, is reasonably understood to be confidential information, which may be valuable assets and property rights of the other party (“Confidential Information”).

  2. Required Disclosure of Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may use and disclose Confidential Information of the other party (i) to law enforcement or governmental agency (ii) pursuant to any governmental, judicial, or administrative order, subpoena, or discovery request, provided that the party from whom disclosure is sought uses commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other of such order, subpoena, or discovery request so that the other party may prevent such disclosure or otherwise seek to make such disclosure subject to a protective order or confidentiality agreement; or (iii) if a party reasonably believes that the other party’s conduct may violate criminal laws.
  3. Remedy for Breach.   Each party acknowledges and agrees that any violation of this Section 9 may cause immediate and irreparable harm, which money damages would not sufficiently remedy, and that either party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, to prevent the breach or threatened breach of such provisions and to secure their enforcement, in addition to all other remedies available to the party at law or in equity.

10. Term, Termination.

IN THE EVENT THAT THIS LIMITATION ON LIABILITY IS NOT FULLY ENFORCED, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE FEES PAID FOR THE PARTICULAR DELIVERABLES WHICH GAVE RISE TO SUCH CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE REMEDIES PROVIDED HEREIN ARE THE PARTIES’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.

In the event of a violation of this provision, the parties hereto understand and agree that actual damages will be difficult to determine and, therefore agree that the party violating this provision shall pay to the other party the sum of seventy-five percent (75%) of one year’s direct salary of each employee solicited and hired as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

None of the Deliverables or Services hereunder are authorized for use in (i) safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of any Deliverable would reasonably be expected to cause property damage, environmental damage, personal injury or death, or (ii) military/aerospace applications or environments, unless officers of each party hereto have executed an agreement specifically governing such use.  The Customer shall fully indemnify Netfast and its directors, officers, shareholders and representatives against any damages arising out of the unauthorized use of the Deliverables in such safety-critical and/or military/aerospace applications.  The Customer represents that it has all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of its applications, and the Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning any use of the Deliverables in Customer’s applications or business, notwithstanding any related services or support that may be provided by the Company in connection therewith.

23. General.  

  1. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement as set forth herein, together with the Exhibits attached hereto, represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, documents, negotiations, and/or discussions (whether oral or written) between the parties.  The attached Exhibits are hereby incorporated in, and made a part of, this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.
  2. Amendments.  This Agreement and the attached Exhibits may be amended, modified, superseded or cancelled and any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized representative of each of the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by or on behalf of the party waiving compliance.
