1.10 Presumptions

Vendor shall be conclusively presumed to have waived Vendor's right to receive payment for products or services covered by any Purchase Order if Vendor has not submitted an invoice for the products or services within three months of the date of product’s acceptance. Vendor's submission of an invoice shall give rise to a presumption that the charges are the full amount Vendor is due for the products or services listed on or referred to in the invoice for the purpose of determining the existence of any underpayment. Vendor waives any claim for underpayment if a supplemental invoice and supporting documentation have not been furnished within the earlier of (1) three months after the Delivery Date or performance of the services covered by the supplemental invoice, or (2) three months after the date of submission of the original invoice.

Further, the Vendor warrants that all goods delivered to Con-Tech do not infringe on any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right of any third party. Warranties will not be deemed waived by the Vendor with acceptance of or payment of any goods and/or services by Con-Tech. Acceptance of a Vendor’s design by Con-Tech shall not be construed to relive the Vendor of warranties. Vendor agrees that warranties shall extend to Con-Tech and its transferees, including without limitation to Con-Tech’s customers.
