2G ENERGY INC. - GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SALE OF GOODS

 

1. Applicability.

(a) These terms and conditions of sale (these "Terms") are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods ("Goods") by 2G Energy Inc. ("2G Energy") to the customer identified in the accompanying Sales Confirmation ("Buyer"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.

 

(b) The accompanying quotation or order confirmation or invoice, as the case may be (the "Sales Confirmation"), and these Terms (collectively, this "Agreement"), comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer's general terms and conditions of purchase regardless whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer's order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer's terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.

 

2. Delivery of Goods.

(a) The Goods will be delivered within the time frame established in the Sales Confirmation, or if none is set forth therein, then within a reasonable time after the receipt of Buyer's purchase order, subject to availability of finished Goods, but all such time frames are estimates and 2G Energy shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit.

 

(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, 2G Energy shall deliver the Goods to the location set forth in the Sales Confirmation, or if no such location is indicated then to 2G Energy's warehouse facility (the "Delivery Point") using 2G Energy's standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. Buyer shall take delivery of the Goods when the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point, or if the Delivery Point is 2G Energy's warehouse facility, then within 5 days after written notice of availability at the Delivery Point. Buyer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Point.

 

(c) 2G Energy may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer's purchase order.

 

(d) If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on a timely basis as specified in Section 2(b) above, or if 2G Energy is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) 2G Energy, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, foreign exchange rates, storage, conservation, and insurance).

 

3. Shipping Terms. 2G Energy shall make delivery in accordance with the terms on the Sales Confirmation, or if no such terms are terms are provided in the Sales Confirmation, then the Goods will be delivered FCA, buyer responsible for blocking, bracing and insurance 2G Energy's facility or warehouse.

If the parties fail to reach a settlement of their dispute within thirty (30) days after the earliest date upon which one of the parties notified the other of its desire to attempt to resolve the dispute, then the dispute shall be promptly submitted to mediation by a single mediator chosen by the mutual consent of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, 2G Energy shall nominate one individual and the other party shall nominate another and those two nominated individuals jointly shall choose a mediator. The mediation shall take place in Jacksonville, Florida. This obligation of the parties to submit any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek an injunction or other appropriate relief from a court or arbitrator (if arbitration is provided for in this Agreement) to preserve the status quo (including preservation of a claim that would otherwise be barred by an applicable statute of limitations that expires within 60 days of the filing) with respect to any matter pending conclusion of the mediation, but shall not be permitted to stay or otherwise impede the progress of the mediation. If the parties fail to reach an agreement through the above mediation process, either party may seek resolution through arbitration in accordance with Section 21 above.

 

Rev 1/1/2022

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PURCHASE OF MATERIALS AND SERVICES

 

2G Energy Inc. (“2G Energy”) and Vendor agree to the following terms and conditions as they apply to the Order.

1. CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: The terms “Order” and “Contract Documents” shall refer collectively to the following documents, and any documents referenced therein or attached thereto, including attachments, exhibits, schedules, drawings, specifications, product descriptions, information, and samples, all of which are incorporated herein. In the event of an ambiguity between Contract Documents, the documents shall govern in the following order: (1) Change Orders; (2) Addenda; (3) Master Purchasing Agreement, if any; (4) Purchase Order, (5) Supplementary Conditions, if any; (6) These General Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Materials and Services (“General Conditions”); and, (7) if signed by 2G Energy, Vendor’s Proposal but if and only to the extent that Vendor’s Proposal defines the scope of the Materials and/or Services. In the event of an ambiguity within a Contract Document, the more expansive alternative shall govern. Vendor shall notify 2G Energy in writing within seven (7) days of the date that Vendor discovers any error, omission, or ambiguity in the Contract Documents, in which event 2G Energy shall provide written direction to Vendor.

 

2. SCOPE: The Order is for the supply and delivery of goods, equipment, tools, instrumentation, supplies, consumables, hardware, and software (“Materials”), and any related labor and services, which may include labor and services constituting design, construction, consultation, fabrication, erection, installation, inspection, maintenance, programming, testing, and expediting work (“Services”), as more particularly described in the Order. Use of the Order for Services only is not prohibited.

 

3. ACCEPTANCE: The Order is 2G Energy’s offer to Vendor, which may be revoked any time before acceptance by either 2G Energy’s written notice or 2G Energy’s issuance of a revised Order. Delivery of the Order to Vendor shall reject or revoke any prior offers by either Party in their entirety. Vendor’s acceptance of the Order is limited to the terms and conditions set forth in the Order. 2G Energy rejects, without further notice, any proposed additional or different terms and conditions in Seller’s acceptance, except to the extent that 2G Energy expressly assents in writing to any such terms and conditions. Seller’s proposal of additional or different terms and conditions shall reject 2G Energy’s offer only if such terms and conditions are materially inconsistent with the descriptions, quantities, prices, or schedules in the Order. Vendor shall be bound to the Order upon the earlier of its (1) signing and returning the Order to 2G Energy; (2) delivering any Materials to 2G Energy, or (3) performing any Services in furtherance of the Order. In the event 2G Energy’s offer is rejected, 2G Energy’s acceptance of any offer by Vendor is expressly conditioned upon 2G Energy’s authorized representative signing such offer and Vendor assenting to the inclusion of all additional and different terms set forth in the Order.

 

4. INTERPRETATION: Terms in the Order shall be defined in the following order: (1) capitalized terms shall have the meanings stated in the Order; (2) terms having special meaning in the power industry shall be as ordinarily understood by those in the power industry; (3) terms defined or used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the State of Florida, shall be as defined therein; and (4) all other terms shall mean their ordinary understanding. Use of the term “any” shall mean “any and all,” and use of the terms “include” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation,” unless the context clearly supports a different interpretation. The Order is the result of an arms’ length transaction. No presumption shall be drawn against either Party as drafter of the Order.

 

5. MODIFICATIONS: The Order may be modified only by a written amendment or change order signed by both Parties. No person acting for or on behalf of 2G Energy has authority to modify the Order, except in strict conformance with this section. 2G Energy may direct Vendor to make changes, without invalidating the Order, before the Parties reach an agreement on adjustments, if any, to the Price and Schedule by signing and delivering a change order to Vendor. Such changes may include changes to (1) the design criteria, specifications and drawings; (2) the means and methods of testing, inspection, shipment, and packaging; (3) the date, time, place, and manner of delivery, and (4) the date, time, and sequence of the Services, if any. Within seven (7) days of its receipt, Vendor shall either sign and return the change order to 2G Energy, accepting any 2G Energy proposed adjustments to the Price and Schedule, or submit to 2G Energy any Vendor proposed adjustments to the Price and Schedule. Unless the change order states otherwise, Vendor shall promptly make the directed changes therein, regardless of whether the Parties have reached an agreement for adjustments to the Price and Schedule. In the event Vendor claims that 2G Energy ordered a change without following the foregoing procedure, Vendor shall provide written notice of the claim to 2G Energy before either making the change or within seven (7) days of such order, whichever occurs first, otherwise any such claim shall be deemed waived. The Parties shall sign a change order upon agreeing to adjustments to the Price and Schedule, if any, which shall settle all claims arising out of or relating to the changes.

 

6. SUBMITTALS: Unless the Order provides otherwise, within ten (10) days of the date of the Order, Vendor shall deliver to 2G Energy, for its review and approval, all shop drawings, samples, product data, manufacturer’s literature, and similar information required by the Order or by 2G Energy (“Submittals”). 2G Energy shall have a reasonable period of time to review and approve each Submittal, which in no event shall be less than ten (10) days. Vendor shall notify 2G Energy in writing if 2G Energy’s review and approval of a Submittal could cause a delay in delivery of any Materials, after accounting for a reasonable period of time to process the applicable Submittals, place orders, manufacture, fabricate, import, deliver, inspect, and install Materials. Vendor’s delivery of a Submittal to 2G Energy is a representation that Vendor has verified conformance of the Submittal with the requirements of the Order. Vendor’s supply of Materials shall conform to the approved Submittals, provided, however, 2G Energy’s approval of a Submittal shall not approve any error, omission, or ambiguity therein, or authorize Vendor to make any deviation, substitution, or change from the requirements of the Order and any applicable change orders.

 

7. SCHEDULE: Time is of the essence for the Order.

.1 Vendor shall tender the delivery of the Materials and perform the Services on the specific dates and times established in the Order, or as otherwise established by 2G Energy (the “Schedule”). Vendor shall provide written notice to 2G Energy in the event that any dates or times established by 2G Energy, but not in the Order, are unreasonable, commercially impractical, or impossible, in which event Vendor shall cooperate with 2G Energy to establish reasonably attainable dates for the tender of delivery of Materials and the performance of Services that are consistent with 2G Energy’s planned activities. If the Parties are unable to agree on the dates for delivery of Materials and performance of Services, 2G Energy may cancel the Order in whole or part without any liability to Vendor.

.2 Once established, Vendor shall strictly comply with the dates set forth in the Schedule, unless Owner grants Vendor a time extension pursuant to Sections 5 or 8 of the General Conditions, or as may be otherwise adjusted by 2G Energy in writing to coordinate the delivery of the Materials and performance of the Services with 2G Energy’s activities.

.3 Vendor shall give prompt written notice in the event of a delay to one or more of the delivery dates set forth in the Schedule, stating in the notice all reasons for the delay. Upon receipt of Vendor’s notice, 2G Energy may (1) direct Vendor to take commercially reasonable efforts to accelerate the delivery of the Materials to meet the Schedule; (2) extend the Schedule; (3) take delivery of any affected Materials in an unfinished state; (4) cover by purchasing substituted materials from another vendor; or (5) cancel the Order, in whole or part, in which event the Price shall be equitably adjusted; provided, however, in no event shall 2G Energy’s liability to Vendor exceed the reasonable value of the Materials delivered and Services performed, less 2G Energy’s damages.

.4 In the event that Vendor fails to makes a delivery by the date or dates specified in the Schedule, as may be adjusted in accordance with sections 5 or 8 of the General Conditions, 2G Energy may (1) extend the Schedule, deducting from the Price all costs incurred by 2G Energy as a result of such failure; (2) cover by purchasing substituted materials from another vendor, deducting from the Price all additional costs incurred by 2G Energy as a result of such cover; or (3) cancel the Order, in whole or part, as to any Material not yet shipped or tendered, in which event the Price shall be adjusted to equal the value of the Materials delivered and the Services performed, less 2G Energy’s damages.

.5 2G Energy’s oral order to cancel or defer delivery shall be effective when made, provided 2G Energy confirms such order in writing within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Any provisions hereof for delivery by installment shall not be construed as making the obligations of Vendor severable. 2G Energy shall have the right to refuse deliveries made in advance of any delivery schedule appearing in the Order, unless Vendor makes arrangements with 2G Energy for such early delivery, as confirmed by 2G Energy in writing.

 

8. FORCE MAJEURE: Once the Schedule is established, Vendor shall be entitled to extend one or more delivery dates or times for performance only if and to the extent that Vendor provides written notice to 2G Energy within seven (7) days of the first date that Vendor knows or reasonably should know of an event or condition not caused in whole or part by Vendor or by its suppliers, distributors, vendors, manufacturers, or subcontractors, or by anyone for whom any of them are responsible, that unavoidably causes a delay to the applicable delivery date(s) or performance time(s), including delays attributable to 2G Energy, any separate contractor to 2G Energy, or any national or regional labor strike or disturbance; riot, war, acts of government, vandalism, or terrorism; fire, flood, hurricane, of other acts of God or nature; casualties; or other similar causes (“Excused Delay”).

 

9. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS: Vendor warrants that title to Materials shall pass from Vendor to 2G Energy free and clear of any lien, claim, or encumbrance upon (1) identification of such Materials to the Order, which shall occur when (i) the Order is accepted if the Order is for the sale of specific existing Materials within Vendor’s custody, control or possession; (ii) Vendor receives, or starts to manufacture, assemble, fabricate, or marks specially manufactured goods, or (iii) Vendor identifies and marks stock Materials for shipment to 2G Energy; (2) 2G Energy’s partial or full payment to Vendor for such Materials; or (3) delivery of the Materials to 2G Energy’s designated delivery location. Notwithstanding the foregoing, risk of loss shall not pass from Vendor to 2G Energy until such Materials are delivered and accepted by 2G Energy. Shipment shall be F.O.B. 2G Energy's delivery location, unless otherwise noted in the Order. Risk of loss shall revert back to Vendor upon 2G Energy’s rejection of defective or non-conforming Materials, even if stored at 2G Energy’s designated delivery location.

 

10. PRICE/TAXES: The Price is a stipulated amount that is not subject to escalation, surcharges, or additional changes, except in strict conformance with Section 5 of the General Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vendor warrants that the prices for the Materials sold to 2G Energy under the Order are not less favorable than those currently extended to any other customer for the same or like Materials in equal or lesser quantities. In the event Vendor reduces its price for such Materials prior to the delivery thereof to 2G Energy, Vendor agrees to sign a change order reducing the prices herein correspondingly. All prices specified herein include all charges for inspection, delivery, handling, and packaging. Prices set forth are exclusive of applicable sales, use, excise, value-added or similar taxes.

 

11. WARRANTIES: Vendor warrants to 2G Energy that (1) all Materials will be new, unused, and of good quality; (2) all Services shall be performed with good workmanship; (3) all Materials and Services shall conform to the requirements of the Order; and (4) all Materials shall be fit for their ordinary use, unless Vendor has recommended the use of particular Materials to 2G Energy for a known purpose in which event the Materials shall be fit for such purpose. A “Defect” shall be any Materials delivered or Services Performed that are found not to be as warranted. 2G Energy may, at its sole option: (a) require that Vendor promptly correct (or at 2G Energy’s sole option, removal and replace) each Defect within seven (7) days after receiving 2G Energy’s written notice thereof, (b) accept each Defect in writing with an equitable adjustment in the Price, c) require that Vendor remove each Defect and refund the full purchase price thereof to 2G Energy, d) terminate the Order with respect to one or more Defects, and recover from Vendor all resulting damages; or correct each Defect using 2G Energy’s own forces or separate contractors, in which event 2G Energy may recover its cost of correction from Vendor, including all shipping, receiving, and storage costs, and any resulting damages; provided, however, 2G Energy may not require that Vendor correct any Defect discovered more than one (1) year after completion of the project applicable to the Order or such other time period required by the Order. Vendor warrants any Materials or Services furnished in connection with the correction of Defects from the date that Vendor completes the correction. Cost of replacement, rework, resulting damages to other work, inspection, repackaging, delivery, and storage of such Materials and Services shall be at Vendor's expense. This warranty provision shall survive any inspection, delivery, acceptance, payment, expiration or earlier termination of the Order and such warranties shall run to 2G Energy, its successors, assigns, employees, and users of any Materials delivered or Services performed under the Order. Nothing herein shall limit 2G Energy's rights by contract, law or equity for damages arising out of or resulting from a Defect.

 

12. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE: Vendor shall test and inspect, or cause others to test and inspect on its behalf, all Materials prior to shipment to 2G Energy. Upon 2G Energy’s request, Vendor shall produce all documents evidencing such tests and inspections. Unless the Order expressly states otherwise, 2G Energy shall have the right to inspect, at its cost, all Materials tendered, delivered, or identified under the Order in a reasonable manner at any reasonable time and location acceptable to 2G Energy, as a condition precedent to 2G Energy’s obligation to pay for or accept such Materials. Payment for the Materials shall not constitute acceptance of the Materials, nor shall tender of payment be a condition to Vendor's duty to tender and complete delivery of the Materials. Vendor shall provide, without charge to 2G Energy, all reasonable facilities and assistance for such inspections and tests. 2G Energy’s right to inspect is for 2G Energy’s sole benefit, and in its capacity as a customer of Vendor, and not as a professional or an expert in Vendor’s industry or of the Materials inspected. In no event shall 2G Energy be responsible for discovery of Defects that were not discoverable upon a reasonable inspection of such Materials by an ordinary customer in the same or similar circumstances. 2G Energy’s acceptance of any Materials shall occur only upon (1) 2G Energy’s written notice to Vendor that the Materials are conforming; (2) 2G Energy’s written notice to Vendor that 2G Energy will take or retain the Materials despite any known Defects, with an appropriate credit to the Price; or (3) 2G Energy’s failure to provide a timely notice of rejection in accordance with Section 13 of the General Conditions. 2G Energy may opt to remedy any Defects, in which event Vendor shall reimburse 2G Energy for all reasonable costs thereof. 2G Energy’s acceptance of any Defects shall not establish a standard of performance, nor shall it waive 2G Energy’s rights to revoke acceptance or to reject any subsequent delivery of Materials containing Defects, including Materials of the same make, type, and manufacture, and with the same Defects as those previously accepted.

 

13. REJECTION OF MATERIALS: 2G Energy may reject any Materials, in whole or in part, if the Materials or their tender of delivery fails in any respect to strictly conform to the Order or the applicable manufacturers’ literature. 2G Energy’s rejection may be evidenced by a rejection notice sent to Vendor within a reasonable period of time, not less than thirty (30) days from the date of delivery to 2G Energy. 2G Energy’s rejection notice shall identify all known Defects, or any known defects in the tender of delivery. 2G Energy’s failure to identify all known Defects shall not waive any claim that 2G Energy could make with respect to such Defects, unless 2G Energy fails to identify a known Defect in response to Vendor’s written request that 2G Energy provide a full and final statement of all known Defects. In no event shall 2G Energy’s failure to identify any Defect not then known to 2G Energy waive any right 2G Energy has to later reject such Material upon discovery thereof. At 2G Energy’s option, 2G Energy may seek cover by substituting conforming materials from another vendor at Vendor’s cost, or by directing Vendor to promptly cure such Defects with conforming Materials, F.O.B. 2G Energy’s designated delivery location, without additional cost to 2G Energy. Within seven (7) days of 2G Energy’s rejection notice, Vendor shall promptly remove the rejected Materials from 2G Energy’s facility or provide written instructions to 2G Energy for the dispensation of such rejected Materials; otherwise, 2G Energy may, at its discretion, store the Materials for Vendor’s account, or reship the rejected Materials to Vendor F.O.B. 2G Energy’s designated delivery location, or resell the rejected Materials for Vendor’s account and seek reimbursement in accordance with the Applicable Laws. In no event shall any actions by 2G Energy be deemed acceptance of previously rejected Materials, unless 2G Energy expressly notifies Vendor in writing that 2G Energy is accepting the previously rejected Materials, or 2G Energy clearly exercises ownership over such rejected Materials. Vendor may not substitute returned or rejected Material without 2G Energy’s written agreement. 2G Energy reserves all other rights and remedies to which it may be entitled against the Vendor for Defects.

 

14. REMEDIES: 2G Energy’s remedies for breach of the Order shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available by contract, law or equity. Any breach by Vendor with respect to rejected Materials or revocation of acceptance of such Materials shall be considered a breach that goes to the whole contract, entitling 2G Energy (1) to cancel the Order, in whole or in part, (2) to reject the Materials and recover the amount of the Price paid to Vendor therefor, (3) to recover the difference in price paid to another vendor for substitute materials and the Price set forth in the Order for such Materials,, (4) to recover damages for an imperfect tender of delivery; (5) to revoke its rejection of such Materials, and, (6) in a proper case, to obtain specific performance or replevin, plus any other damages to which 2G Energy is entitled to recover. Any other breach shall entitle 2G Energy to cancel the Order, in whole or part, and to hold Vendor liable for all damages incurred by 2G Energy. If 2G Energy wrongfully rejects or revokes acceptance of Materials, or breaches the Order in any material respect, then Vendor's exclusive remedy against 2G Energy is limited to (1) the recovery of the unpaid portion of the Price for Materials delivered that were or should have been accepted, or (2) to resell the Materials directly affected in a commercially reasonable manner, plus the recovery of the difference between the unpaid portion of the Price for Materials delivered, and the resale price, less any expenses saved. Any recovery by Vendor hereunder is directly limited by and shall not exceed the Price. In the event of breach of the Order, the non-breaching Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages resulting from such breach, including taking reasonable actions to secure, preserve, protect, resell, and seek cover of the Materials.

 

15. BUYER'S PROPERTY IN VENDOR'S POSSESSION: All tools, special dies, molds, patterns, jigs and any other property (“Tools”) furnished by 2G Energy to Vendor or specifically paid for by 2G Energy for use by Vendor in the performance of the Order shall be and remain the property of 2G Energy and be clearly marked as such by Vendor. Vendor shall (1) use the Tools only in filling 2G Energy’s orders, (2) maintain such Tools in good working order and condition, and (3) prompt return all such property upon 2G Energy's demand. Vendor assumes all liability for loss or damage to such Tools.

 

16. INDEMNITY: To the fullest extent permitted by the Applicable Laws, Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless 2G Energy and its employees, officers, directors, representatives, agents, bailees, customers, successors, and assigns ("2G Energy's Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney, paralegal, and consultant fees, court costs, and legal expenses, arising out of or relating to the supply and delivery of Materials, or the performance of Services, and attributable to (1) 2G Energy’s title to the Materials, or the rightful transfer thereof; (2) any intellectual property right, including any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right; (3) personal injury, sickness, death or property damage, unless due to 2G Energy’s Indemnitee’s sole negligence; (4) any lien or claim of lien against 2G Energy’s property or any interest therein; (5) violation of any Applicable Laws; (6) the existence of any Hazardous Products in any Materials or Services provided by Vendor, unless expressly required by the Order; and (7) any breach of the Order. In the event the use of any Material, or part thereof, sold to 2G Energy under the Order is enjoined, Vendor shall, at its own expense, either procure for 2G Energy the right to continue using the Material or part thereof, or substitute the Material with a non-infringing material or modify the Material to avoid such infringement. 2G Energy reserves the right to be represented in any such action by its own counsel at its own expense.

 

17. ASSIGNMENT/SUBCONTRACTING: Vendor shall not assign the Order, or any right herein, or any monies due or to become due hereunder, nor shall Vendor delegate or subcontract any obligations or Services hereunder without the prior written consent of 2G Energy. Any purported assignment or delegation by the Vendor shall be void absent 2G Energy’s written consent.

 

18. CANCELLATION:

.1 Cancellation for Cause 2G Energy may cancel the Order, in whole or part, effective upon delivery of written notice to Vendor, in the event that Vendor: (a) fails to comply with any term or condition of the Order, including any failure to tender delivery of conforming Materials within the time allowed by the Schedule; or (b) becomes insolvent or appoints a receiver, or liquidator or other similar officer over its property or assets or any significant portion thereof; or (c) voluntarily ceases to be in business; or (d) merges with or is acquired by a third party; or (e) assigns any of its rights or delegates any of obligations under the Order to a third party, without 2G Energy's written consent. Upon cancellation, no payment shall be due or payable to Vendor, unless and until 2G Energy realizes and sets off against such payment all costs, expenses, and damages that 2G Energy is entitled to recover from Vendor by contract, law, or equity. In the event 2G Energy wrongfully cancels the Order for cause, the cancellation shall be treated as a cancellation for convenience.

.2 Cancellation for Convenience. 2G Energy may cancel and terminate the Order, in whole or in part, for convenience, and without cause, effective immediately upon delivery of 2G Energy’s written notice to Vendor provided such notice is sent at least fourteen (14) days prior to any delivery date(s) required by the Schedule. 2G Energy shall have no liability to Vendor beyond payment of any unpaid balance of the Price due and payable for conforming Materials delivered to and accepted by 2G Energy prior to Vendor's receipt of the notice of termination, and for Services properly performed at the request of 2G Energy and accepted by 2G Energy.

.3 Cancellation in general: In the event of cancellation for cause or convenience, Vendor shall transfer title and deliver to 2G Energy such fully or partially finished Materials as requested by 2G Energy in addition to any other rights and remedies which 2G Energy may have by contract, law, or equity.

 

19. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION/TITLE TO SPECIFICATIONS: All written information obtained by Vendor from 2G Energy in connection with the Order, which is either by its nature proprietary or identified by 2G Energy as proprietary, including, but not limited to, any design criteria, specifications, drawings, blueprints and software programs, shall remain the property of 2G Energy, shall be used by Vendor only if and to the extent necessary for performance of the Order, and shall not be disclosed to any third party without 2G Energy’s prior written consent. Vendor shall not make or authorize others to make any news release, advertisement, or other public disclosure in relation to the Order, including its existence, without 2G Energy’s prior written consent, except as may be required to perform the Order. Any knowledge or information that Vendor shall have disclosed or may hereafter disclose to 2G Energy and that in any way relates to the Materials or Services covered by the Order, shall not, unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by 2G Energy, be deemed to be confidential, proprietary information, and shall be acquired by 2G Energy free from any restrictions as part of the consideration for the Order. 2G Energy is subject to the Georgia Open Records Act.

21. VENDOR SERVICES: In the event that Vendor provides any Services at any premises that 2G Energy owns, leases, or rents, Vendor shall perform such Services strictly as an independent contractor, and not as an employee, representative, or agent of 2G Energy. Vendor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent injury or death to persons or damage to property during such performance. The terms of the Order shall not, in any way, be construed to create a partnership or any other kind of joint undertaking or venture between the parties hereto. Vendor expressly waives on behalf of itself and its employees, agents, representatives, consultants, and subcontractors any and all rights which may or may not exist to claim any relief under 2G Energy's comprehensive insurance policy, worker's compensation or unemployment benefits. Vendor shall include this provision in all of its subcontract and consulting agreements.

 

22.

[End of General Conditions]

Referencing the terms of 2G limited warranty; the 2G Energy, Inc & 2G Energy Corp. (2G) warranty process is designed to maximize efficiency for customers/distributors. These guidelines must be adhered to in order to ensure a smooth process between 2G and the customer/distributor.

 

Filing a claim

In an effort to keep the units operational, 2G has 2 options for warranty claims. The first option is to submit a PO in advance in order to receive the part or service quickly. The 2nd option is to proceed with the warranty claim without a PO. In the 2nd option the customer will be required to send back the warranty parts and operational information to 2G. The claim would be submitted and await approval before receiving new parts.

 

Option #1

1. The customer/distributor will notify 2G in writing via email service.usa@2-g.com of an issue or defect that could be considered warranty.

2. 2G will determine if the component or CHP is within the warranty period.

3. Once determined to still be within the warranty period, 2G and the customer/distributor will work together to determine the part or service needed.

4. 2G will send a quote for the spare part or service required.

5. The customer/distributor will send a signed quote or PO to approve the order. With the information provided 2G would begin a warranty claim. More information may be required at any point.

6. The customer/distributor must submit the warranty paperwork within five business days of the repair. The warranty paperwork is included in this document and must be submitted to service.usa@2-g.com

7. If the parts are requested to be returned, Customer will arrange the return shipping of the part within 5 business days.

8. If the claim is approved, the customer/distributor will be credited for the parts and labor of the approved amount.

 

If a customer/distributor fails to promptly submit the information/parts as required above, the defects will not be covered under warranty and the claim denied. The customer/distributor will be informed immediately upon approval/denial. If the claim is denied, 2G Energy will provide an explanation for the denial.

 

Option #2

1. First, the customer/distributor will notify 2G in writing via email at service.usa@2-g.com of an issue or defect that could be considered a warranty.

2. 2G will determine if the component or CHP is within the warranty period.

3. Once determined to still be within the warranty period, 2G and the customer/distributor will work together to determine the part or service needed.

4. The customer/distributor will send back the warranty parts to 2G and the claim would be submitted. The claim may be open for some time before there is a resolution.

5. The customer/distributor will arrange the return shipping of the part.

6. If approved, the warranty parts would be shipped to the customer/distributor. If denied, the customer/distributor would need to submit a quote or PO if they decide to purchase the part(s). If a customer/distributor fails to promptly submit the information/parts as required above, the defects will not be covered under warranty and the claim denied. The customer/distributor will be informed immediately upon approval/denial. If the claim is denied, 2G Energy will provide an explanation for the denial.

 

General Information:

Defects Despite all efforts, the possibility that 2G products may have defects cannot be ruled out entirely. The customer/distributor is obliged to immediately inspect all 2G products for recognizable defects at the time of handover and to notify 2G of any defects immediately and in writing to service.usa@2-g.com.

 

Defects that are covered under warranty

In the event of damages and failures resulting from processing or design defects of 2G, the customer’s warranty rights take effect- during the warranty period – and 2G is obliged to rectify the defects.

 

Components excluded from the warranty Maintenance and wear parts (spark plugs, gaskets, spark plug connectors, coolant, filters, oils, etc.) are not covered by warranty. For detailed information, please refer to the 2G operating manuals.

 

Deficient care and maintenance

Any damage to 2G plants and plant parts resulting from inadequate maintenance and care is not covered by warranty. 2G equipment cannot function correctly if it is not maintained and cared for properly on a regular basis. 2G requires all customers to follow the guidelines of proper operation and maintenance outlined in the operator’s manual. This includes items such as keeping operating logs, routine oil analysis, routine gas and water analysis, etc. For detailed information, please refer to the 2G operating manuals. All information and/or logs can at any time during a warranty claim, be requested by 2G. If any logs or requested data are not submitted within five business days, the claim will be denied.

 

Handling Defective Parts

At any time during a warranty claim, 2G reserves the right to request any defective parts be returned for examination at the customer/distributors expense. All requested parts must be received within 5 business days of the initial request. The customer must ensure that the used components to be returned, are stored appropriately to maintain part integrity, and packaged to keep the component safe and free from damage during shipping. Components returned will be inspected and failure to comply with the aforementioned will result in an immediate denied warranty claim.

 

If the customer does not return the defective parts requested by 2G in the time required, the defects will not be covered under warranty and the claim will be denied. In order to ensure the correct processing of return orders, the part must be labeled with the RMA#/Reference #/Warranty Case #.

 

Labor and Travel Costs

If the customer/distributor demands compensation for time (time they have spent removing the defective parts, etc.), they must specify the time spent working. The standard labor rate is $80.00 per hour unless otherwise agreed upon. The labor and travel costs must be submitted with initial claim in order to receive compensation.

In the event of a valid warranty claim for defective Services, 2G Energy shall, in its sole discretion, either: (i) re-perform the Services at issues or (ii) credit or refund the price paid to 2G Energy for such Services. Defective Products and Services that are repaired, replaced, or re-performed under warranty shall be warranted in accordance with this limited warranty for the balance of the original, applicable warranty period or ninety (90) days after completion, whichever is longer. 2G Energy reserves the right to use redesigned or reconditioned parts or components to effect warranty repairs or replacements.

 

(e) 2G Energy shall not be liable for a breach of the product warranty: (i) if the damage or defect results from neglect or failure to comply with the technical instructions of 2G Energy or the applicable original equipment manufacturer of any product; (ii) if the CHP system or any product has been modified, changed or altered by anyone other than 2G Energy; (iii) if the CHP system or product is improperly installed, and 2G Energy neither provided the installation support services, nor approved the installation; (iv) if the CHP system or product is improperly operated, neglected, not correctly serviced, and/or used in any way other than as contemplated by its specifications or the applicable manufacturer's guidelines; (v) if the damage or defect is caused by contaminated fuel (fuel quality below minimum characteristics for fuel gases), glycol/coolant (e.g. all coolant related defects are wear and tear), fire, flood, wind, lightning, grid interconnection instability, or similar occurrences; or (vi) the CHP system or product is installed or used outside of North America. Owner is responsible to provide fuel analysis reports. Wear and tear components and consumables (including those embedded in a CHP system) are excluded from warranty coverage. Any costs arising from rigging or labor required to gain access to the CHP system or any component for the purpose of product warranty repairs, are also excluded from this warranty.

(h) THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF 2G ENERGY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE CHP SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS OR THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER TO 2G ENERGY FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE AT ISSUE.

 

(i) THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek an injunction or other appropriate relief from a court or arbitrator (if arbitration is provided for in this Agreement) to preserve the status quo (including preservation of a claim that would otherwise be barred by an applicable statute of limitations that expires within 60 days of the filing) with respect to any matter pending conclusion of the mediation, but shall not be permitted to stay or otherwise impede the progress of the mediation. If the parties fail to reach an agreement through the above mediation process, either party may seek resolution through arbitration in accordance with Section 20 above

2G ENERGY CORP. - GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICES 

 

1. Applicability. (a) These terms and conditions for services (these "Terms") are the only terms that govern the provision of services by 2G Energy Corp. ("2G Energy") to the customer identified in the accompanying Order Confirmation ("Customer"). (b) The accompanying order confirmation (the "Order Confirmation") and these Terms (collectively, this "Agreement") comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Order Confirmation, these Terms shall govern, unless and only to the extent the Order Confirmation has been executed by both 2G Energy and Customer, and expressly states that the terms and conditions of the Order Confirmation shall control. (c) These Terms prevail over any of Customer's general terms and conditions regardless whether or when Customer has submitted its request for proposal, order, or such terms. Provision of services to Customer does not constitute acceptance of any of Customer's terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms. 

 

2. Services.  2G Energy shall provide the services to Customer as described in the Order Confirmation (the "Services") in accordance with these Terms. 

 

3. Performance Dates.  2G Energy shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates specified in the Order Confirmation, but any such dates shall be estimates only. 

 

4. Customer's Obligations.  Customer shall: (a) cooperate with 2G Energy in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Customer's premises, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by 2G Energy, for the purposes of performing the Services; (b) respond promptly to any 2G Energy request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations or decisions that are reasonably necessary for 2G Energy to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; (c) provide such customer materials or information as 2G Energy may reasonably request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (d) obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents, and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services before the date on which the Services are to start. 

 

5. Customer's Acts or Omissions. If 2G Energy's performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Customer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, 2G Energy shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by Customer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay, and Customer will reimburse 2G Energy for any costs or expenses incurred by 2G Energy as a consequence of such prevention or delay. Rev 8/1/2022    

 

6. Change Orders. (a) If either party wishes to change the scope or performance of the Services, it shall submit details of the requested change to the other party in writing. 2G Energy shall, within a reasonable time after such request, provide a written estimate to Customer of: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (b) the likely time required to implement the change; any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Services arising from the change; the likely effect of the change on the Services; and any other impact the change might have on the performance of this Agreement. Promptly after receipt of the written estimate, the parties shall negotiate and agree in writing on the terms of such change (a "Change Order"). Neither party shall be bound by any Change Order unless mutually agreed upon in writing in accordance with Section 26. (c) Notwithstanding Section 6(a) and Section 6(b), 2G Energy may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Customer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Order Confirmation. (d) 2G Energy may charge for the time it spends assessing and documenting a change request from Customer on a time and materials basis in accordance with the Order Confirmation. 

 

7. Fees and Expenses; Payment Terms; Interest on Late Payments. (a) In consideration of the provision of the Services by 2G Energy and the rights granted to Customer under this Agreement, Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the Order Confirmation.  Unless otherwise stated in the Order Confirmation, 2G Energy will bill any and all spare parts, consumables or other materials provided or used in performing the Services hereunder at its prevailing standard rates. All fees for the Services quoted or referred to in the Order Confirmation were based on 2G Energy’s then current costs of performance when those fees were published, quoted or otherwise provided to Customer (including, without limitation, the cost of parts, materials, and labor need to perform the Services), and the assumption that 2G Energy’s ability to perform the Services in a timely fashion would not be delayed or impaired for reasons beyond its reasonable control.  If 2G Energy incurs increased costs for performance for any reason beyond its reasonable control, then 2G Energy will be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the fees payable by the Customer, as determined by 2G Energy in good faith, to cover 2G Energy’s increased costs of performance. (b) Customer agrees to reimburse 2G Energy for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by 2G Energy in connection with the performance of the Services. (c) 2G Energy shall issue invoices to Customer and Customer shall pay all invoiced amounts due to 2G Energy within 30 days after Customer's receipt of such invoice.  All payments hereunder shall be in US dollars and made by check or wire transfer.  (d) In the event payments are not received by 2G Energy within 30 days after becoming due, 2G Energy may: (i) charge interest on any such unpaid amounts at a rate of 1% per month or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, from the date such payment was due until the date paid; and (ii) suspend performance for all Services until payment has been made in full. 

 

8. Taxes.  Customer shall be responsible for all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, provincial or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder. Rev 8/1/2022  

 

9. Intellectual Property.  All intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, patent disclosures and inventions (whether patentable or not), trademarks service marks, trade secrets, know-how and other confidential information, trade dress, trade names, logos, corporate names and domain names, together with all of the goodwill associated therewith, derivative works and all other rights (collectively, "Intellectual Property Rights") in and to all documents, work product and other materials that are delivered to Customer under this Agreement or prepared by or on behalf of 2G Energy in the course of performing the Services, including any items identified as such in the Order Confirmation (collectively, the "Deliverables") (except for any Confidential Information of Customer or customer provided materials) shall be owned by 2G Energy.  Subject to Customer's payment of all fees and reimbursements owed with respect to the Services, 2G Energy hereby grants Customer a license to use all Intellectual Property Rights free of additional charge and on a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, fully paid-up, royalty-free and perpetual basis to the extent necessary to enable Customer to make reasonable use of the Deliverables and the Services. 

 

10. Confidential Information. (a) All non-public, confidential or proprietary information of 2G Energy, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, technology, information pertaining to business operations and strategies, and information pertaining to customers, pricing, and marketing (collectively, "Confidential Information"), disclosed by 2G Energy to Customer, whether disclosed orally or disclosed or accessed in written, electronic or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as "confidential," in connection with the provision of the Services and this Agreement is confidential, and shall not be disclosed or copied by Customer without the prior written consent of 2G Energy.  Confidential Information does not include information that is: (i) (ii) (iii) (b) in the public domain; known to Customer at the time of disclosure; or rightfully obtained by Customer on a non-confidential basis from a third party. Customer agrees to use the Confidential Information only to make use of the Services and Deliverables. (c) 

 

11. 2G Energy shall be entitled to injunctive relief for any violation of this Section. Representation and Warranty. All Services and any Proprietary Parts (as defined below) provided or used by 2G Energy in the course of performing the Services are performed and sold subject to 2G Energy's standard Limited Warranty, a copy of which can be found at 2G Energy Corp Limited Warranty (the "Standard Warranty").  "Proprietary Parts" means any spare parts, consumables and other materials that are manufactured exclusively by or for the account of 2G Energy or its affiliates to specifications that are proprietary to 2G Energy or its affiliates. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THE STANDARD WARRANTY, 2G ENERGY MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE, KIND OR CHARACTER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF: (i) MERCHANTABILITY; (ii) FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (iii) TITLE; OR (iv) NON-INFRINGEMENT; WHETHER ARISING BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.   THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THE STANDARD WARRANTY SHALL BE THE CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND 2G ENERGY'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THE STANDARD WARRANTY. 12. Limitation of Liability. (a) IN NO EVENT SHALL 2G ENERGY BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER Rev 8/1/2022  ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL 2G ENERGY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID OR PAYABLE TO 2G ENERGY PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE ORDER CONFIRMATION FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE OR ITEM GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. (c) The limitation of liability set forth in Section 12(b) above shall not exclude or limit liability for personal injury or death to the extent that such liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. 

 

13. Termination.  In addition to any remedies that may be provided under this Agreement, 2G Energy may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice to Customer, if Customer: (a) fails to pay any amount when due under this Agreement; (b) (c) has not otherwise performed or complied with any of the terms of this Agreement, in whole or in part; or becomes insolvent, files a petition for bankruptcy or commences or has commenced against it proceedings relating to bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization or assignment for the benefit of creditors. 

 

14. Indemnity.  Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless 2G Energy and its subcontractors, consultants, agents, officers, directors and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, court and arbitration costs, arising out of or resulting from the Services (including any spare parts, consumables or other materials provided or used by 2G Energy in the course of performing the Services), or 2G Energy's failure to perform the same, inclusive of claims made by third parties, except to the extent such claims, damages, losses or expenses are finally adjudicated to result from 2G Energy's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

 

15. Waiver. No waiver by 2G Energy of any of the provisions of this Agreement is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by 2G Energy. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement operates or may be construed as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 

 

16. Force Majeure.  2G Energy shall not be liable or responsible to Customer, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of 2G Energy including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, pandemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party's workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers, or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, labor or equipment at prices and on terms 2G Energy deems in its sole discretion to be commercially reasonable, or equipment or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.  Such circumstances entitle 2G Energy to postpone performance for the duration of such circumstance plus a reasonable starting up time or to cancel any order or part thereof not yet fulfilled.   

 

17. Assignment.  Customer shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of 2G Energy.  Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void.  No assignment or delegation relieves Customer of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Rev 8/1/2022  

 

18. Relationship of the Parties.  The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever. 

 

19. No Third-party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms. 

 

20.

The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement 

 

21. Arbitration. Subject to Section 26 below, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved through binding international arbitration administered by the Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Centre for the Americas (CAMCA) in accordance with its rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The place of arbitration will be Guelph, Ontario, and the language of the arbitral proceeding will be English. 

 

22.

Completion of such mediation shall be a condition precedent to bringing any action pursuant to this Agreement. If the parties fail to reach a settlement of their dispute within thirty (30) days after the earliest date upon which one of the parties notified the other of its desire to attempt to resolve the dispute, then the dispute shall be promptly submitted to mediation by a single mediator chosen by the mutual consent of the parties.  If the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, 2G Energy shall nominate one individual, and the other party shall nominate another, and those two nominated individuals jointly shall choose a mediator. The mediation shall take place in Guelph, Ontario. This obligation of the parties to submit any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek an injunction or other appropriate relief from a court or arbitrator (if arbitration is provided for in this Agreement) to preserve the status quo (including preservation of a claim that would Rev 8/1/2022  otherwise be barred by an applicable statute of limitations that expires within 60 days of the filing) with respect to any matter pending conclusion of the mediation, but shall not be permitted to stay or otherwise impede the progress of the mediation.  If the parties fail to reach an agreement through the above mediation process, either party may seek a resolution through arbitration in accordance with Section 21 above.  

 

Rev 8/1/2022  

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PURCHASE OF MATERIALS AND SERVICES

2G Energy Corp. (“2G Energy”) and Vendor agree to the following terms and conditions as they apply to the Order.

1. CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: The terms “Order” and “Contract Documents” shall refer collectively to the following documents, and any documents referenced therein or attached thereto, including attachments, exhibits, schedules, drawings, specifications, product descriptions, information, and samples, all of which are incorporated herein. In the event of an ambiguity between Contract Documents, the documents shall govern in the following order: (1) Change Orders; (2) Addenda; (3) Master Purchasing Agreement, if any; (4) Purchase Order, (5) Supplementary Conditions, if any; (6) These General Terms and Conditions for Purchase of Materials and Services (“General Conditions”); and, (7) if signed by 2G Energy, Vendor’s Proposal but if and only to the extent that Vendor’s Proposal defines the scope of the Materials and/or Services. In the event of an ambiguity within a Contract Document, the more expansive alternative shall govern. Vendor shall notify 2G Energy in writing within seven (7) days of the date that Vendor discovers any error, omission, or ambiguity in the Contract Documents, in which event 2G Energy shall provide written direction to Vendor.

 

2. SCOPE: The Order is for the supply and delivery of goods, equipment, tools, instrumentation, supplies, consumables, hardware, and software (“Materials”), and any related labor and services, which may include labor and services constituting design, construction, consultation, fabrication, erection, installation, inspection, maintenance, programming, testing, and expediting work (“Services”), as more particularly described in the Order. Use of the Order for Services only is not prohibited.

 

3. ACCEPTANCE: The Order is 2G Energy’s offer to Vendor, which may be revoked any time before acceptance by either 2G Energy’s written notice or 2G Energy’s issuance of a revised Order. Delivery of the Order to Vendor shall reject or revoke any prior offers by either Party in their entirety. Vendor’s acceptance of the Order is limited to the terms and conditions set forth in the Order. 2G Energy rejects, without further notice, any proposed additional or different terms and conditions in Seller’s acceptance, except to the extent that 2G Energy expressly assents in writing to any such terms and conditions. Seller’s proposal of additional or different terms and conditions shall reject 2G Energy’s offer only if such terms and conditions are materially inconsistent with the descriptions, quantities, prices, or schedules in the Order. Vendor shall be bound to the Order upon the earlier of its (1) signing and returning the Order to 2G Energy; (2) delivering any Materials to 2G Energy, or (3) performing any Services in furtherance of the Order. In the event 2G Energy’s offer is rejected, 2G Energy’s acceptance of any offer by Vendor is expressly conditioned upon 2G Energy’s authorized representative signing such offer and Vendor assenting to the inclusion of all additional and different terms set forth in the Order.

 

4. INTERPRETATION: Terms in the Order shall be defined in the following order: (1) capitalized terms shall have the meanings stated in the Order; (2) terms having special meaning in the power industry shall be as ordinarily understood by those in the power industry; (3) terms defined or used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the Province of Ontario, shall be as defined therein; and (4) all other terms shall mean their ordinary understanding. Use of the term “any” shall mean “any and all,” and use of the terms “include” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation,” unless the context clearly supports a different interpretation. The Order is the result of an arms’ length transaction. No presumption shall be drawn against either Party as drafter of the Order.

 

5. MODIFICATIONS: The Order may be modified only by a written amendment or change order signed by both Parties. No person acting for or on behalf of 2G Energy has authority to modify the Order, except in strict conformance with this section. 2G Energy may direct Vendor to make changes, without invalidating the Order, before the Parties reach an agreement on adjustments, if any, to the Price and Schedule by signing and delivering a change order to Vendor. Such changes may include changes to (1) the design criteria, specifications and drawings; (2) the means and methods of testing, inspection, shipment, and packaging; (3) the date, time, place, and manner of delivery, and (4) the date, time, and sequence of the Services, if any. Within seven (7) days of its receipt, Vendor shall either sign and return the change order to 2G Energy, accepting any 2G Energy proposed adjustments to the Price and Schedule, or submit to 2G Energy any Vendor proposed adjustments to the Price and Schedule. Unless the change order states otherwise, Vendor shall promptly make the directed changes therein, regardless of whether the Parties have reached an agreement for adjustments to the Price and Schedule. In the event Vendor claims that 2G Energy ordered a change without following the foregoing procedure, Vendor shall provide written notice of the claim to 2G Energy before either making the change or within seven (7) days of such order, whichever occurs first, otherwise any such claim shall be deemed waived. The Parties shall sign a change order upon agreeing to adjustments to the Price and Schedule, if any, which shall settle all claims arising out of or relating to the changes.

 

6. SUBMITTALS: Unless the Order provides otherwise, within ten (10) days of the date of the Order, Vendor shall deliver to 2G Energy, for its review and approval, all shop drawings, samples, product data, manufacturer’s literature, and similar information required by the Order or by 2G Energy (“Submittals”). 2G Energy shall have a reasonable period of time to review and approve each Submittal, which in no event shall be less than ten (10) days. Vendor shall notify 2G Energy in writing if 2G Energy’s review and approval of a Submittal could cause a delay in delivery of any Materials, after accounting for a reasonable period of time to process the applicable Submittals, place orders, manufacture, fabricate, import, deliver, inspect, and install Materials. Vendor’s delivery of a Submittal to 2G Energy is a representation that Vendor has verified conformance of the Submittal with the requirements of the Order. Vendor’s supply of Materials shall conform to the approved Submittals, provided, however, 2G Energy’s approval of a Submittal shall not approve any error, omission, or ambiguity therein, or authorize Vendor to make any deviation, substitution, or change from the requirements of the Order and any applicable change orders.

 

7. SCHEDULE: Time is of the essence for the Order.

.1 Vendor shall tender the delivery of the Materials and perform the Services on the specific dates and times established in the Order, or as otherwise established by 2G Energy (the “Schedule”). Vendor shall provide written notice to 2G Energy in the event that any dates or times established by 2G Energy, but not in the Order, are unreasonable, commercially impractical, or impossible, in which event Vendor shall cooperate with 2G Energy to establish reasonably attainable dates for the tender of delivery of Materials and the performance of Services that are consistent with 2G Energy’s planned activities. If the Parties are unable to agree on the dates for delivery of Materials and performance of Services, 2G Energy may cancel the Order in whole or part without any liability to Vendor.

.2 Once established, Vendor shall strictly comply with the dates set forth in the Schedule, unless Owner grants Vendor a time extension pursuant to Sections 5 or 8 of the General Conditions, or as may be otherwise adjusted by 2G Energy in writing to coordinate the delivery of the Materials and performance of the Services with 2G Energy’s activities.

.3 Vendor shall give prompt written notice in the event of a delay to one or more of the delivery dates set forth in the Schedule, stating in the notice all reasons for the delay. Upon receipt of Vendor’s notice, 2G Energy may (1) direct Vendor to take commercially reasonable efforts to accelerate the delivery of the Materials to meet the Schedule; (2) extend the Schedule; (3) take delivery of any affected Materials in an unfinished state; (4) cover by purchasing substituted materials from another vendor; or (5) cancel the Order, in whole or part, in which event the Price shall be equitably adjusted; provided, however, in no event shall 2G Energy’s liability to Vendor exceed the reasonable value of the Materials delivered and Services performed, less 2G Energy’s damages.

.4 In the event that Vendor fails to makes a delivery by the date or dates specified in the Schedule, as may be adjusted in accordance with sections 5 or 8 of the General Conditions, 2G Energy may (1) extend the Schedule, deducting from the Price all costs incurred by 2G Energy as a result of such failure; (2) cover by purchasing substituted materials from another vendor, deducting from the Price all additional costs incurred by 2G Energy as a result of such cover; or (3) cancel the Order, in whole or part, as to any Material not yet shipped or tendered, in which event the Price shall be adjusted to equal the value of the Materials delivered and the Services performed, less 2G Energy’s damages.

.5 2G Energy’s oral order to cancel or defer delivery shall be effective when made, provided 2G Energy confirms such order in writing within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Any provisions hereof for delivery by installment shall not be construed as making the obligations of Vendor severable. 2G Energy shall have the right to refuse deliveries made in advance of any delivery schedule appearing in the Order, unless Vendor makes arrangements with 2G Energy for such early delivery, as confirmed by 2G Energy in writing.

 

8. FORCE MAJEURE: Once the Schedule is established, Vendor shall be entitled to extend one or more delivery dates or times for performance only if and to the extent that Vendor provides written notice to 2G Energy within seven (7) days of the first date that Vendor knows or reasonably should know of an event or condition not caused in whole or part by Vendor or by its suppliers, distributors, vendors, manufacturers, or subcontractors, or by anyone for whom any of them are responsible, that unavoidably causes a delay to the applicable delivery date(s) or performance time(s), including delays attributable to 2G Energy, any separate contractor to 2G Energy, or any national or regional labor strike or disturbance; riot, war, acts of government, vandalism, or terrorism; fire, flood, hurricane, of other acts of God or nature; casualties; or other similar causes (“Excused Delay”).

 

9. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS: Vendor warrants that title to Materials shall pass from Vendor to 2G Energy free and clear of any lien, claim, or encumbrance upon (1) identification of such Materials to the Order, which shall occur when (i) the Order is accepted if the Order is for the sale of specific existing Materials within Vendor’s custody, control or possession; (ii) Vendor receives, or starts to manufacture, assemble, fabricate, or marks specially manufactured goods, or (iii) Vendor identifies and marks stock Materials for shipment to 2G Energy; (2) 2G Energy’s partial or full payment to Vendor for such Materials; or (3) delivery of the Materials to 2G Energy’s designated delivery location. Notwithstanding the foregoing, risk of loss shall not pass from Vendor to 2G Energy until such Materials are delivered and accepted by 2G Energy. Shipment shall be F.O.B. 2G Energy's delivery location, unless otherwise noted in the Order. Risk of loss shall revert back to Vendor upon 2G Energy’s rejection of defective or non-conforming Materials, even if stored at 2G Energy’s designated delivery location.

 

10. PRICE/TAXES: The Price is a stipulated amount that is not subject to escalation, surcharges, or additional changes, except in strict conformance with Section 5 of the General Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vendor warrants that the prices for the Materials sold to 2G Energy under the Order are not less favorable than those currently extended to any other customer for the same or like Materials in equal or lesser quantities. In the event Vendor reduces its price for such Materials prior to the delivery thereof to 2G Energy, Vendor agrees to sign a change order reducing the prices herein correspondingly. All prices specified herein include all charges for inspection, delivery, handling, and packaging. Prices set forth are exclusive of applicable sales, use, excise, value-added or similar taxes.

 

11. WARRANTIES: Vendor warrants to 2G Energy that (1) all Materials will be new, unused, and of good quality; (2) all Services shall be performed with good workmanship; (3) all Materials and Services shall conform to the requirements of the Order; and (4) all Materials shall be fit for their ordinary use, unless Vendor has recommended the use of particular Materials to 2G Energy for a known purpose in which event the Materials shall be fit for such purpose. A “Defect” shall be any Materials delivered or Services Performed that are found not to be as warranted. 2G Energy may, at its sole option: (a) require that Vendor promptly correct (or at 2G Energy’s sole option, removal and replace) each Defect within seven (7) days after receiving 2G Energy’s written notice thereof, (b) accept each Defect in writing with an equitable adjustment in the Price, c) require that Vendor remove each Defect and refund the full purchase price thereof to 2G Energy, d) terminate the Order with respect to one or more Defects, and recover from Vendor all resulting damages; or correct each Defect using 2G Energy’s own forces or separate contractors, in which event 2G Energy may recover its cost of correction from Vendor, including all shipping, receiving, and storage costs, and any resulting damages; provided, however, 2G Energy may not require that Vendor correct any Defect discovered more than one (1) year after completion of the project applicable to the Order or such other time period required by the Order. Vendor warrants any Materials or Services furnished in connection with the correction of Defects from the date that Vendor completes the correction. Cost of replacement, rework, resulting damages to other work, inspection, repackaging, delivery, and storage of such Materials and Services shall be at Vendor's expense. This warranty provision shall survive any inspection, delivery, acceptance, payment, expiration or earlier termination of the Order and such warranties shall run to 2G Energy, its successors, assigns, employees, and users of any Materials delivered or Services performed under the Order. Nothing herein shall limit 2G Energy's rights by contract, law or equity for damages arising out of or resulting from a Defect.

 

12. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE: Vendor shall test and inspect, or cause others to test and inspect on its behalf, all Materials prior to shipment to 2G Energy. Upon 2G Energy’s request, Vendor shall produce all documents evidencing such tests and inspections. Unless the Order expressly states otherwise, 2G Energy shall have the right to inspect, at its cost, all Materials tendered, delivered, or identified under the Order in a reasonable manner at any reasonable time and location acceptable to 2G Energy, as a condition precedent to 2G Energy’s obligation to pay for or accept such Materials. Payment for the Materials shall not constitute acceptance of the Materials, nor shall tender of payment be a condition to Vendor's duty to tender and complete delivery of the Materials. Vendor shall provide, without charge to 2G Energy, all reasonable facilities and assistance for such inspections and tests. 2G Energy’s right to inspect is for 2G Energy’s sole benefit, and in its capacity as a customer of Vendor, and not as a professional or an expert in Vendor’s industry or of the Materials inspected. In no event shall 2G Energy be responsible for discovery of Defects that were not discoverable upon a reasonable inspection of such Materials by an ordinary customer in the same or similar circumstances. 2G Energy’s acceptance of any Materials shall occur only upon (1) 2G Energy’s written notice to Vendor that the Materials are conforming; (2) 2G Energy’s written notice to Vendor that 2G Energy will take or retain the Materials despite any known Defects, with an appropriate credit to the Price; or (3) 2G Energy’s failure to provide a timely notice of rejection in accordance with Section 13 of the General Conditions. 2G Energy may opt to remedy any Defects, in which event Vendor shall reimburse 2G Energy for all reasonable costs thereof. 2G Energy’s acceptance of any Defects shall not establish a standard of performance, nor shall it waive 2G Energy’s rights to revoke acceptance or to reject any subsequent delivery of Materials containing Defects, including Materials of the same make, type, and manufacture, and with the same Defects as those previously accepted.

 

13. REJECTION OF MATERIALS: 2G Energy may reject any Materials, in whole or in part, if the Materials or their tender of delivery fails in any respect to strictly conform to the Order or the applicable manufacturers’ literature. 2G Energy’s rejection may be evidenced by a rejection notice sent to Vendor within a reasonable period of time, not less than thirty (30) days from the date of delivery to 2G Energy. 2G Energy’s rejection notice shall identify all known Defects, or any known defects in the tender of delivery. 2G Energy’s failure to identify all known Defects shall not waive any claim that 2G Energy could make with respect to such Defects, unless 2G Energy fails to identify a known Defect in response to Vendor’s written request that 2G Energy provide a full and final statement of all known Defects. In no event shall 2G Energy’s failure to identify any Defect not then known to 2G Energy waive any right 2G Energy has to later reject such Material upon discovery thereof. At 2G Energy’s option, 2G Energy may seek cover by substituting conforming materials from another vendor at Vendor’s cost, or by directing Vendor to promptly cure such Defects with conforming Materials, F.O.B. 2G Energy’s designated delivery location, without additional cost to 2G Energy. Within seven (7) days of 2G Energy’s rejection notice, Vendor shall promptly remove the rejected Materials from 2G Energy’s facility or provide written instructions to 2G Energy for the dispensation of such rejected Materials; otherwise, 2G Energy may, at its discretion, store the Materials for Vendor’s account, or reship the rejected Materials to Vendor F.O.B. 2G Energy’s designated delivery location, or resell the rejected Materials for Vendor’s account and seek reimbursement in accordance with the Applicable Laws. In no event shall any actions by 2G Energy be deemed acceptance of previously rejected Materials, unless 2G Energy expressly notifies Vendor in writing that 2G Energy is accepting the previously rejected Materials, or 2G Energy clearly exercises ownership over such rejected Materials. Vendor may not substitute returned or rejected Material without 2G Energy’s written agreement. 2G Energy reserves all other rights and remedies to which it may be entitled against the Vendor for Defects.

 

14. REMEDIES: 2G Energy’s remedies for breach of the Order shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available by contract, law or equity. Any breach by Vendor with respect to rejected Materials or revocation of acceptance of such Materials shall be considered a breach that goes to the whole contract, entitling 2G Energy (1) to cancel the Order, in whole or in part, (2) to reject the Materials and recover the amount of the Price paid to Vendor therefor, (3) to recover the difference in price paid to another vendor for substitute materials and the Price set forth in the Order for such Materials,, (4) to recover damages for an imperfect tender of delivery; (5) to revoke its rejection of such Materials, and, (6) in a proper case, to obtain specific performance or replevin, plus any other damages to which 2G Energy is entitled to recover. Any other breach shall entitle 2G Energy to cancel the Order, in whole or part, and to hold Vendor liable for all damages incurred by 2G Energy. If 2G Energy wrongfully rejects or revokes acceptance of Materials, or breaches the Order in any material respect, then Vendor's exclusive remedy against 2G Energy is limited to (1) the recovery of the unpaid portion of the Price for Materials delivered that were or should have been accepted, or (2) to resell the Materials directly affected in a commercially reasonable manner, plus the recovery of the difference between the unpaid portion of the Price for Materials delivered, and the resale price, less any expenses saved. Any recovery by Vendor hereunder is directly limited by and shall not exceed the Price. In the event of breach of the Order, the non-breaching Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages resulting from such breach, including taking reasonable actions to secure, preserve, protect, resell, and seek cover of the Materials.

 

15. BUYER'S PROPERTY IN VENDOR'S POSSESSION: All tools, special dies, molds, patterns, jigs and any other property (“Tools”) furnished by 2G Energy to Vendor or specifically paid for by 2G Energy for use by Vendor in the performance of the Order shall be and remain the property of 2G Energy and be clearly marked as such by Vendor. Vendor shall (1) use the Tools only in filling 2G Energy’s orders, (2) maintain such Tools in good working order and condition, and (3) prompt return all such property upon 2G Energy's demand. Vendor assumes all liability for loss or damage to such Tools.

 

16. INDEMNITY: To the fullest extent permitted by the Applicable Laws, Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless 2G Energy and its employees, officers, directors, representatives, agents, bailees, customers, successors, and assigns ("2G Energy's Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney, paralegal, and consultant fees, court costs, and legal expenses, arising out of or relating to the supply and delivery of Materials, or the performance of Services, and attributable to (1) 2G Energy’s title to the Materials, or the rightful transfer thereof; (2) any intellectual property right, including any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right; (3) personal injury, sickness, death or property damage, unless due to 2G Energy’s Indemnitee’s sole negligence; (4) any lien or claim of lien against 2G Energy’s property or any interest therein; (5) violation of any Applicable Laws; (6) the existence of any Hazardous Products in any Materials or Services provided by Vendor, unless expressly required by the Order; and (7) any breach of the Order. In the event the use of any Material, or part thereof, sold to 2G Energy under the Order is enjoined, Vendor shall, at its own expense, either procure for 2G Energy the right to continue using the Material or part thereof, or substitute the Material with a non-infringing material or modify the Material to avoid such infringement. 2G Energy reserves the right to be represented in any such action by its own counsel at its own expense.

 

17. ASSIGNMENT/SUBCONTRACTING: Vendor shall not assign the Order, or any right herein, or any monies due or to become due hereunder, nor shall Vendor delegate or subcontract any obligations or Services hereunder without the prior written consent of 2G Energy. Any purported assignment or delegation by the Vendor shall be void absent 2G Energy’s written consent.

 

18. CANCELLATION:

.1 Cancellation for Cause

Referencing the terms of 2G limited warranty; the 2G Energy, Inc & 2G Energy Corp. (2G) warranty process is designed to maximize efficiency for customers/distributors. These guidelines must be adhered to in order to ensure a smooth process between 2G and the customer/distributor.

 

Filing a claim:

In an effort to keep the units operational, 2G has 2 options for warranty claims. The first option is to submit a PO in advance in order to receive the part or service quickly. The 2nd option is to proceed with the warranty claim without a PO. In the 2nd option the customer will be required to send back the warranty parts and operational information to 2G. The claim would be submitted and await approval before receiving new parts.

 

Option #1

1. The customer/distributor will notify 2G in writing via email at service.usa@2-g.com of an issue or defect that could be considered a warranty.

2. 2G will determine if the component or CHP is within the warranty period.

3. Once determined to still be within the warranty period, 2G and the customer/distributor will work together to determine the part or service needed.

4. 2G will send a quote for the spare part or service required.

5. The customer/distributor will send a signed quote or PO to approve the order. With the information provided 2G would begin a warranty claim. More information may be required at any point.

6. The customer/distributor must submit the warranty paperwork within five business days of the repair. The warranty paperwork is included in this document and must be submitted to service.usa@2-g.com.

7. If the parts are requested to be returned, the Customer will arrange the return shipping within 5 business days.

8. If the claim is approved, the customer/distributor will be credited for the parts and labor of the approved amount.

 

If a customer/distributor fails to promptly submit the information/parts as required above, the defects will not be covered under warranty and the claim denied. The customer/distributor will be informed immediately upon approval/denial. If the claim is denied, 2G Energy will provide an explanation for the denial.

 

Option #2: 

 

1. First, the customer/distributor will notify 2G in writing via email service.usa@2-g.com of an issue or defect that could be considered warranty. 

2. 2G will determine if the component or CHP is within the warranty period. 

3. Once determined to still be within the warranty period, 2G and the customer/distributor will work together to determine the part or service needed. 

4. The customer/distributor will send back the warranty parts to 2G and the claim would be submitted. The claim may be open for some time before there is a resolution. 

5. The customer/distributor will arrange the return shipping of the part. 

6. If approved, the warranty parts would be shipped to the customer/distributor. If denied, the customer/distributor would need to submit a quote or PO if they decide to purchase the part(s).

 

If a customer/distributor fails to promptly submit the information/parts as required above, the defects will not be covered under warranty and the claim denied. The customer/distributor will be informed immediately upon approval/denial. If the claim is denied, 2G Energy will provide an explanation for the denial.

 

General Information:

 

Defects:

Despite all efforts, the possibility that 2G products may have defects cannot be ruled out entirely. The customer/distributor is obliged to immediately inspect all 2G products for recognizable defects at the time of handover and to notify 2G of any defects immediately and in writing to service.usa@2-g.com.

 

Defects that are covered under warranty

In the event of damages and failures resulting from processing or design defects of 2G, the customer’s warranty rights take effect- during the warranty period – and 2G is obliged to rectify the defects.

 

Components excluded from the warranty

Maintenance and wear parts (spark plugs, gaskets, spark plug connectors, coolant, filters, oils, etc.) are not covered by warranty. For detailed information, please refer to the 2G operating manuals.

 

Deficient care and maintenance

Any damage to 2G plants and plant parts resulting from inadequate maintenance and care is not covered by warranty. 2G equipment cannot function correctly if it is not maintained and cared for properly on a regular basis. 2G requires all customers to follow the guidelines of proper operation and maintenance outlined in the operator’s manual. This includes items such as keeping operating logs, routine oil analysis, routine gas and water analysis, etc. For detailed information, please refer to the 2G operating manuals. All information and/or logs can at any time during a warranty claim, be requested by 2G. If any logs or requested data are not submitted within five business days, the claim will be denied.

 

Handling Defective Parts

At any time during a warranty claim, 2G reserves the right to request any defective parts be returned for examination at the customer/distributors expense. All requested parts must be received within 5 business days of the initial request. The customer must ensure that the used components to be returned, are stored appropriately to maintain part integrity, and packaged to keep the component safe and free from damage during shipping. Components returned will be inspected and failure to comply with the aforementioned will result in an immediate denied warranty claim.

 

If the customer does not return the defective parts requested by 2G in the time required, the defects will not be covered under warranty and the claim will be denied. In order to ensure the correct processing of return orders, the part must be labeled with the RMA#/Reference #/Warranty Case #.

 

Labor and Travel Costs

If the customer/distributor demands compensation for time (time they have spent removing the defective parts, etc.), they must specify the time spent working. The standard labor rate is $80.00 per hour unless otherwise agreed upon. The labor and travel costs must be submitted with initial claim in order to receive compensation. Warranty Period Please refer to 2G’s “Limited Warranty” for information regarding warranty period. Contact information Please address any questions about the warranty process or any warranty claims via email to: service.usa@2-g.com

(a) 2G Energy Corp. ("2G Energy") warrants that all products sold by it for installation or use in North America shall be free from material defects in design, materials, and workmanship for the applicable warranty period provided below. The foregoing warranty is transferable and applies to the initial and each subsequent owner of the warranted product (an "Owner"). The "warranty period" for all new 2G branded, combined heat and power ("CHP") systems, is the shorter of twelve (12) months (8000 operating hours) from the date of commissioning, or eighteen (18) months from the date the ready for shipment notification was provided by 2G Energy to the initial Owner. For all other products (including spare parts, but excluding wear and tear components and consumables) the "warranty period" is twelve (12) months from the earlier of the date of delivery to the initial Owner or the date the ready for shipment notification was provided by 2G Energy to the initial Owner, provided that if such products were sold and utilized in conjunction with 2G Energy's provision of Services (as defined below), the twelve (12) month warranty period shall commence when the products at issue were first used in the performance of such Services. Wear and tear components are defined as components with an expected lifespan that is less than the length of the applicable warranty period, such as compensators, exhaust components, single-use screws, washers and fasteners, gaskets, orings, sealing materials, all electrochemical sensor, and all rubber components and consumables are defined as consumable and maintenance materials, such as filters, fluids, grease, gauges, light bulbs, fuses, switches, and the like. 

 

(b) If 2G Energy is engaged to provide installation, maintenance or repairs services (collectively "Services"), 2G Energy warrants for a warranty period of ninety (90) days from the completion of the Services, that such Services were performed in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services using personnel of required skill, experience and qualifications. The warranty for Services is not transferable and applies only to party with whom 2G Energy contracted to provide the Services. 

 

(c) 2G Energy shall not be liable for a breach of warranty unless: (i) Owner gives written notice of the defect or breach to 2G Energy within ten (10) days after the date when Owner first discovers or should have discovered the defect or breach, and in any event prior to the lapse of the applicable warranty period; and (ii) Owner adheres to this limited warranty and 2G Energy's then current warranty claims process (found ABOVE.) 

 

(d) In the event of a valid warranty claim for defective product, 2G Energy shall, in its sole discretion, either: (i) repair or replace the defective product, or (ii) credit or refund the price paid to 2G Energy by the original Owner of such item provided that, if 2G Energy so requests, Owner shall, at its own expense, return such item to 2G Energy. In the event of a valid warranty claim for defective Services, 2G Energy shall, in its sole discretion, either: (i) re-perform the Services at issues or (ii) credit or refund the price paid to 2G Energy for such Services. Defective Products and Services that are repaired, replaced, or re-performed under warranty shall be warranted in accordance with this limited warranty for the balance of the original, applicable warranty period or ninety (90) days after completion, whichever is longer. 2G Energy reserves the right to use redesigned or reconditioned parts or components to effect warranty repairs or replacements. 

 

(e) 2G Energy shall not be liable for a breach of the product warranty: (i) if the damage or defect results from neglect or failure to comply with the technical instructions of 2G Energy or the applicable original equipment manufacturer of any product; (ii) if the CHP system or any product has been modified, changed or altered by anyone other than 2G Energy; (iii) if the CHP system or product is improperly installed, and 2G Energy neither provided the installation support services, nor approved the installation; (iv) if the CHP system or product is improperly operated, neglected, not correctly serviced, and/or used in any way other than as contemplated by its specifications or the applicable manufacturer's guidelines; (v) if the damage or defect is caused by contaminated fuel (fuel quality below minimum characteristics for fuel gases), glycol/coolant (e.g. all coolant related defects are wear and tear), fire, flood, wind, lightning, grid interconnection instability, or similar occurrences; or (vi) the CHP system or product is installed or used outside of North America. Owner is responsible to provide fuel analysis reports. Wear and tear components and consumables (including those embedded in a CHP system) are excluded from warranty coverage. Any costs arising from rigging or labor required to gain access to the CHP system or any component for the purpose of product warranty repairs, are also excluded from this warranty. If any of the Owner’s warranty claims fall within any of the above exceptions, then 2G Energy's limited warranty shall become immediately null and void and shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such CHP systems or products, and Owner shall pay 2G Energy’s costs of investigating and identifying the problem, and 2G Energy’s expenses to repair or correct the problem, based on 2G Energy’s then-current service fee schedule. 

 

(f) THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES STATED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOCUMENT CONSTITUTE THE ONLY WARRANTIES OF 2G ENERGY, AND THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO OWNER FOR BREACH THEREOF, AND 2G ENERGY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR AGREEMENTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
