These terms and conditions are not assignable by Buyer and any attempt to assign any rights, duties or obligations arising hereunder shall be void. Aegex may, as it deems necessary, subcontract any part of the work or services to be provided pursuant to these terms and conditions.
If a dispute, controversy or claim arises out of or relates to these terms and conditions, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, and if either party decides that the dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the parties agree to settle the dispute through arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be Atlanta, Georgia and the arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator shall not have the authority, power, or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add, or subtract from any provision of these terms and conditions. The arbitral award shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the parties or their assets. Subject to any arbitral award, costs of arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of either party to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, such as injunctive relief, before, during or after any arbitration proceeding.
Except as provided below, any and all matters in dispute between the parties, whether arising from or relating to these terms and conditions or arising from alleged extra-contractual facts including, without limitation, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence or any other alleged tort or violation of contract, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without resort to the State’s conflict of laws provisions and regardless of the legal theory upon which such matter is asserted, and any applicable United States federal law. The sole jurisdiction and venue for all actions related to the subject matter hereof shall be the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia.
Aegex shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any delay in delivery or failure to give notice of delay when such delay is due to any cause or event beyond Aegex's control, including, without limitation, acts of nature, pandemics, epidemics, unavailability of supplies or sources of energy, riots, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, fires, strikes, labor difficulties, delays in transportation, delays in delivery or defaults by Aegex's vendors, or acts or omissions of the Buyer. In the event of delay due to any such cause, time for delivery shall be extended for a period of time equal to the duration of such delay and the Buyer shall not be entitled to refuse delivery or otherwise be relieved of any obligations as a result of the delay. If, as a result of any such cause, any scheduled delivery is delayed for a period in excess of one-hundred-twenty (120) days, Aegex or Buyer shall have the right by written notice to the other to cancel the order for the Products subject to the delayed delivery without further liability of any kind.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Products being sold hereunder are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States and/or other national governments. Buyer will comply with these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (US EAR), the U.S. State Department’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), sanction regimes of the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and export laws and regulations of the European Union (EU) and/or any of its member states.

In addition, any Products sold hereunder may not be exported, re-exported, or transferred to any end-user engaged in activities, or for any end-use, directly or indirectly related to the design, development, production, use, or stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction (e.g., nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons, and the missile technology to deliver them).
In any contract with the United States government or in any
contract that is a subcontract of any tier under a United States
government contract:
Aegex accepts only those clauses
of the United States Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) that
the regulations themselves mandate be flowed-down to a party in
Aegex's position, given all relevant limitations, including
Aegex's status as a customer or a subcontractor and the size and
type of contract; and
Aegex retains proprietary rights in
all technical data and computer software provided under such
contract. Neither the United States government nor any
higher-tier contractor under a United States government contract
receives any rights in technical data and computer software
beyond the rights provided to all commercial customers under
these terms and conditions, except that Aegex grants to the
United States government the minimum additional rights required
under the narrowest applicable provisions of the FAR or DFARS.
Except as specifically agreed in writing, Aegex will not provide
certified cost and pricing data and therefore does not accept
any Cost Accounting Standards, defective pricing, or audit
requirements.
Buyer shall comply, and shall cause its employees to comply, with all applicable local, national, regional and international laws, ordinances, regulations, codes, standards, directives and international conventions and agreements to the extent that any of the foregoing have the force of law by being directly enforceable by a governmental authority, a court or other proper tribunal (collectively “Laws”), including but not limited to (a) anti-bribery and recordkeeping Laws, including but not limited to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (“OECD”), and the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption, (b) environmental Laws, and (c) import and export control Laws, including but not limited to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (US EAR), the U.S. State Department’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), sanction regimes of the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC), export laws and regulations of the European Union (EU) and/or any of its member states and export laws of other national governments. Buyer shall not, without prior U.S. Government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer any commodities, software or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country subject to a U.S. trade embargo or sanction or to any resident or national of said countries, or to any person, organization, or entity on any of the sanctioned parties lists maintained by the U.S. Departments of State, Treasury or Commerce. Buyer shall comply, and shall cause its employees to comply, with all applicable laws, ordinances and/or directives of countries in which they conduct business as they relate to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, child labor laws, data privacy laws, criminal reporting laws, Environmental, Health and Safety laws or any similar laws, including, but not limited to identifying and filing or purchasing (as applicable) any and all required permits, certificates, licenses, insurance, approvals and inspections required in performance of its obligations hereunder.
Aegex reserves the right, by written notice of default, to cancel any order, without further obligation or liability to Buyer, on the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the insolvency of Buyer; (ii) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Buyer; (iii) the filing of an involuntary petition to have Buyer declared bankrupt; (iv) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for Buyer; (v) the execution by Buyer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vi) the discontinuance of business by Buyer; or (vii) the sale by Buyer of the bulk of its assets other than in the usual course of business.
Should any of these terms and conditions be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, that term or condition will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.
Aegex and Buyer are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these terms and conditions. Buyer is solely responsible for its employees and agents and shall indemnify Aegex against any claim, liability, cost or damage related to Buyer’s actions or those of its employees or agents, including, but not limited to, the making of unauthorized warranties or representations on behalf of Aegex.
Buyer represents that there exist no third party beneficiaries to Buyer’s rights hereunder.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMER, THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVISIONS ARE MATERIAL, BARGAINED TERMS THAT ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND ARE REFLECTED IN THE CONSIDERATION TO BE GIVEN BY BOTH PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND IN THE DECISION BY BOTH PARTIES TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
These terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all previous communications, whether oral or written unless otherwise stated above. Any change to these terms and conditions may be made only upon mutual agreement of the parties in writing.
