Unless otherwise stated on the face hereof, regardless of freight payment by Seller on Buyer’s behalf (for which Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller), all risk of loss or damage in transit shall pass to Buyer at that time.

3. Software License Grant

(a) License Grant: Upon final and full payment of the total fees set forth on the Invoice, UNICO hereby grants Buyer a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, limited license to use the Software solely in conjunction with the operation of the Products specified on the Invoice.

(b)Scope of License: Buyer may make a reasonable number of copies of Software as necessary for backup, configuration, installation, and restoration of the Products. Buyer may authorize a third-party contractor or service provider to exercise these rights on Buyer’s behalf and for Buyer’s benefit. Buyer may transfer possession of Software and its media to another party only in conjunction with the transfer of the Products on which the Software is loaded and only upon agreement of the other party to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon such transfer, Buyer shall destroy all Buyer’s copies of Software and related documentation. All licenses and grants pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately terminate once Buyer no longer rightfully owns or possesses the Products. No other rights under this license are granted. Buyer shall provide UNICO with written notice of any such transfer providing the name, address, and contact information of the subsequent Buyer within 15 days of such transfer.

(c) Use Restrictions: Buyer shall not (a) copy, display, transfer, adapt, modify, or distribute in any form the Software except as set forth in this Agreement or documentation; (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise translate the Software’s object code, unless expressly permitted by applicable law without the possibility of contractual waiver; or (c) sublicense or lease the Software or any copy thereof. Except as provided under the terms of UNICO’s standard escrow agreement, Buyer agrees not to make available to any party, without prior written consent from UNICO or its authorized agent, source code for the Software. Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, export or reexport, or knowingly permit the export or reexport of, the Products, or any technical information about the Products, to any country for which the United States Export Administration Act, any regulation thereunder, or any similar United States law or regulation, requires an export license or other United States Government approval, unless Buyer obtains the appropriate export license and obtains written approval from UNICO.

(d) Maintenance and Support: Buyer may purchase from UNICO annual Software maintenance and support services under the terms and conditions of UNICO’s then-standard maintenance and support agreement. Buyer may renew this maintenance term at UNICO’s then-current maintenance rates. In the event Buyer purchases additional Software licenses, maintenance fees for such licenses shall be prorated to be coterminous with Buyer’s existing maintenance period.

Dollars on presentation by UNICO of sight drafts, UNICO invoice, and such documents as the Letter of Credit may require. Payment terms will include progress payments as specified on the face of the quotation.

Upon termination, Buyer shall immediately de-install, return to UNICO, or destroy all copies of the Software and Documentation. Termination of this Agreement shall not result in a termination of either of the following: (a) any rights and obligations of the Parties which, by the express terms of this Agreement, survive termination; or (b) any liabilities and obligations of the Parties hereunder (whether a payment obligation or otherwise) that have accrued prior to termination. Upon termination of this contract for any reason, UNICO shall have the rights and remedies provided by law, including, without limitation, the rights of a secured party under Chapter 409, Wisconsin Statutes, or any successor statute or similar statute in the jurisdiction where Buyer is located or stores the Products.

7. Warranty

(a) Product: UNICO warrants that its Products will be free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use and service for a period of 24 months from date of shipment for any electrical and/or electronic Unico brand assembly and a period of 12 months from date of shipment for any Unico brand mechanical apparatus. Date of shipment is defined as the date that the product is presented to a carrier at a UNICO facility or other specified shipment point. Parts subject to regular replacement due to operational wear are not covered by this warranty. This warranty is void in cases of damage in transit, negligence, abuse, abnormal usage, misuse, accidents, improper installation, and/or improper maintenance. This warranty is also void in cases of start-up of product by a third-party service organization or other service provider not approved in advance by UNICO. On equipment furnished by UNICO, but manufactured by others, the written warranty of the manufacturer, if any, will be assigned to Buyer if assignment is reasonably practicable. However, UNICO does not adopt or guarantee or represent that the manufacturer will comply with any of the terms of the warranty of such manufacturer. UNICO will not reimburse Buyer for any expenses incurred by Buyer in repairing or replacing any defective Products, except for those incurred with the prior written permission of UNICO.

(b) Software: UNICO warrants that its Software shall conform to the specifications set forth in its documentation when properly installed on drives or systems meeting or exceeding the minimum hardware specifications and shall be free from any material defects, whether in design or programming, for a period of six (6) months after the date of delivery of the Software. UNICO represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, as of the date of delivery, it owns the Software and has the right to enter in this Agreement and that Buyer’s use of the Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement does not infringe upon any third party’s copyright, U. S. patent, or trade secret. UNICO does not warrant that the Software will operate uninterrupted or error-free or meet the requirements of Buyer or any other party. UNICO is not responsible for problems caused by use of the Software in conjunction with third-party software, hardware, or products. UNICO will assign, if practicable, the written warranty, if any, provided by a third-party manufacturer on equipment furnished by UNICO but manufactured by another; however, UNICO is not responsible for and does not adopt, guarantee, or represent that the manufacturer will comply with any of the terms of the manufacturer warranty.

UNICO’S SOLE OBLIGATION UNDER THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE, UPON PROMPT WRITTEN NOTICE BY BUYER OF ANY DEFECT, TO REPAIR OR REPLACE WITHOUT CHARGE, F.C.A. THE UNICO FACILITY FROM WHICH THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED, ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS, SOFTWARE, OR PARTS THEREOF EXPRESSLY WARRANTED HEREIN AGAINST DEFECTS BY UNICO. THIS WARRANTY COVERS ONLY REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE PARTS AT THE UNICO FACILITY FROM WHICH THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED AND DOES NOT INCLUDE FIELD SERVICE TRAVEL AND LIVING. IN NO EVENT SHALL UNICO BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGE.

If any third-party claim substantially interferes with Buyer’s use of the Products, or if UNICO believes that a third-party claim may substantially interfere with Buyer’s use of the Products, UNICO, at its sole discretion, may: (a) replace or modify the portion of the infringing Product, without additional charge, with functionally equivalent and noninfringing parts or code to avoid the infringement; or (b) obtain a license for the Buyer to continue use of the Product and pay any additional required license fee; or (c) if the foregoing alternatives are not commercially reasonable, terminate this Agreement. This Section 7 shall constitute UNICO’s entire liability and Buyer’s exclusive remedy for a claim of infringement.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

9. Liability

(a) Limitation of Liability: UNICO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGE, WHETHER BASED ON LOST REVENUE OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER UNICO WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES IN ADVANCE. UNICO’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MONIES OR FEES PAID BY BUYER TO UNICO FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED BY UNICO, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER BUYER’S CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, DRIVES LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.

(b) Liability Disclaimer: ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS, UNICO DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR BUYER’S USE OF ANY PRODUCT. UNICO SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT BASED ON USE OF OR COMBINATION OF ANY PRODUCT WITH NON-UNICO SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, OR PRODUCTS (UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY UNICO) IF SUCH INFRINGEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY THE USE OF THE PRODUCT WITHOUT THE USE OF OTHER SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, OR PRODUCTS.

10. Indemnity

BUYER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS UNICO FROM ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIM RESULTING FROM THE PURCHASE OR USE OF UNICO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OTHER THAN CLAIMS MADE BY THE END USER WITHIN THE LIMITED WARRANTY SPECIFIED IN SECTIONS 7 & 8 OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
