For European Union (EU) Users



If You are a European Union or International consumer, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you reside.
Buyer is authorized to sell and/or distribute the Products only to customers, retailers, subsidiaries, Buyers, wholesalers, or any business entity or person (collectively, the “Customer”) located within the United States of America (the “Territory”).  For purposes of this Section __(a), whether the sale or distribution is to a Customer located within the Territory shall be determined by reference to the location of the Customer’s facility or residence to which the Product is to be shipped for operation, use, storage, or resale.
Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Products are intended for sale and use only within the Territory, and Buyer solely accepts any and all liability caused by its sale or distribution of the Products to Customers outside the Territory.
If Buyer chooses to sell or distribute the Products in any way to a Customer outside of the Territory, Buyer shall, at its own expense, provide (i) clear, conspicuous warning labels in bold font or red print affixed to the Products in the language of the jurisdiction of which the Product is to be sold or used which contains all necessary hazard warnings and otherwise complies with the laws and regulations in which the Product is going to be distributed (an “International Warning Label”) and (ii) a copy of the safety manual or Safety Data Sheet set forth in Exhibit A translated to the language of the jurisdiction of which the Product is to be sold or used (an “International Safety Manual’). Any sale or distribution outside the Territory without an International Warning Label and International Safety Manual shall be explicitly prohibited and shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
The Company makes no representations or warranties as to the adequacy of the International Warning Label and International Safety Manual. The Company shall not be obligated to verify that the International Warning Label was affixed to the Products nor that the International Safety Manual was delivered and understood by the Customer. Buyer shall be exclusively responsible for these actions when partaking in a sale or other distribution to a Customer outside the Territory.
Buyer will indemnify, defend and otherwise hold harmless the Company from all costs, loss, damages, liability, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from any proceeding or claim brought against the Company by a third party or Customer to the extent such proceeding or claim arises out of anything associated with the sale and/or distribution by Buyer of Products outside the Territory including but not limited to any death or injury to any person and any fines or other penalties levied for the Product’s failure to comply with any local law or regulation. The presence of an International Warning Label or International Safety Manual in Buyer’s sale to a Customer outside the Territory shall not abrogate the Company’s absolution of liability and right to indemnity for a claim under this Section __(e).

United States Legal Compliance



You represent and warrant that (i) You are not located in a country that is subject to the United States government embargo, or that has been designated by the United States government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) You are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
