1.?Roche reserves the right to change, revise or improve upon the Webstore at any time; however, Roche makes no commitment to provide any such changes, updates, improvements. Roche reserves the right to discontinue providing the Webstore at any time and to delete all user data without notice. Roche may sell products requested by the Customer using the Webstore for specific research uses and applications. Customer assumes full responsibility for such specific research uses and applications, including without limitation for such product's fitness for a particular Customer purpose or application, its compatibility with the workflow used by Customer, and its ability to actually function as projected or planned by Customer. Roche does not guarantee or warrant any results the Customer may achieve.

2.?Customer hereby indemnifies and shall hold harmless Roche and all affiliates of the Roche group from any and all losses, costs, damages and claims, including but not limited to attorney fees and costs, arising from or related to or arising out of: (i) the abnormal or improper use, misuse or neglect of the Goods or any breach of these terms and conditions or default on the part of the Customer; or (ii) any use or sale of any goods manufactured by the Customer and incorporating any Goods supplied by Roche to the Customer.

3.?No order placed by the Customer shall be deemed to be accepted by Roche until a written acknowledgement of order, which may include email or facsimile, is issued by Roche or, if earlier, Roche delivers the Goods to Customer. Any order shall be accepted entirely at the discretion of the Roche.

4.?Unless otherwise agreed by Roche in writing, the price for the Goods shall be the price set in Roche's price list as at the date of the order for the Goods. Orders below the minimum order amount shall be subject to a handling charge. Roche reserves the right to make additional charges for, including but not limited, deliveries requiring dry ice, all special and urgent deliveries, and deliveries outside the country.

5. Roche's prices are subject to alteration without notice and are stated exclusive of Value Added Tax and all other taxes or levies and all costs and charges in relation to packaging, labeling, carriage and freight all of which the Customer shall bear unless otherwise agreed in writing.

6. Unless orders are accepted on a pre-payment basis, when payment for the goods shall be due in advance of delivery, accounts are due for payment in full within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice and no accounts shall be deemed to be paid until Roche has received cleared funds. Roche reserves the right to withdraw these credit terms at any time without notice. Time for payment shall be of the essence.

7. Invoices shall be in the currency of the applicable price list and be payable in such currency in cleared funds.

8. Customer shall notify Roche of any invoice discrepancy within 14 days of receipt of the invoice after which time the invoice shall be deemed accepted by the Customer.

9. Roche reserves the right to withhold delivery of subsequent orders when Customer's account is overdue or Roche has doubts concerning the creditworthiness of the Customer. In such cases Roche shall have the right to release any Customer reserved or ordered Goods.

10. Roche reserves the right to charge interest pursuant to applicable law.

11. Roche reserves the right at any time at its discretion to demand security for payment before continuing with, or delivering any order.

12. Roche will use reasonable commercial efforts to meet any time or date for delivery agreed. Notwithstanding this, any time or date for delivery given by Roche is an estimate only and Roche will not be held liable or responsible for any delay or non-delivery nor for any loss, expense or damage whatsoever resulting from any such delay or non-delivery and Customer shall not be entitled to treat a contract as repudiated by reason of late delivery.

13. Roche reserves the right to refuse to deliver any order if the Customer goes or threatens to go into liquidation, makes any composition or arrangement with its creditors or has appointed an administrator or an administrative receiver, provided always that title in the Goods has not already passed to the Customer.

14. When signing for Goods from the carrier, the Customer agrees to check that the number of packages received agrees with the number on the delivery note and immediately to record any numerical discrepancy or obvious external damage on the carrier's delivery note. Roche will consider claims for damages, shortages or incorrect delivery only if notified within 14 days of receipt of the Goods and claims for non-delivery only if notified within 14 days of the date of invoice. If any claim is so notified, Roche's sole responsibility will be limited to replacing or redelivering the goods in question or collecting excess deliveries at its expense and the Customer will not be entitled to any other compensation whatsoever. Roche will accept no liability for any claims howsoever caused not notified within these periods nor will Roche have any liability in respect of damage or shortages caused by the acts or omissions of the Customer.

15. Roche reserves the right to deliver in more than one installment and to invoice each installment separately.

16. If delivery is by installments a notifiable claim in one installment will not entitle the Customer to reject all installments.

17. Any order received on a Friday which requires dry ice or other form of temperature control will be dispatched the following Monday (or in the case of a holiday on Tuesday). In the event the Customer requires a weekend delivery, the Customer shall be solely responsible for receipt and shall be liable for any degradation of the Goods in the event that the Goods cannot be delivered.

18. Roche will not accept the return of unwanted Goods correctly delivered against an order.

19. The Goods shall be at the risk of the Customer from the time of delivery to the Customer's nominated premises, or from the time of collection from Roche's nominated premises by or on behalf of the Customer, whichever is the applicable.

20.
