USES, HAZARDS AND DISPOSAL OF PRODUCTS
Buyer acknowledges that Seller’s Products may not be on the inventory of Existing Chemical Substances as defined by EINECS and ELINCS. Products may also not be on the TSCA inventory. Seller assumes no responsibility to assure that Products purchased hereunder may be used in a commercial application as defined under the applicable legislation.
The hazards, physiological and toxicological properties of many of Seller’s chemical Products have not yet been fully investigated and/or determined and should be handled with the utmost caution when they are used, stored or during disposal, by individuals familiar with their potential hazards and who have been fully trained in proper safety, laboratory, and chemical handling procedures. Seller makes no guarantee of any results and assumes no liability for damage to any person, persons or property resulting from incorrect handling, storage, usage or disposal of its Products and is not responsible for conditions and actions which are beyond its control.
Seller will provide Buyer with material safety data sheets (MSDS) as required by European law. Every effort is made to provide current known information. However, the nature of new research chemicals precludes complete knowledge. Seller makes no claim as to the completeness, correctness, currency, or comprehensiveness of information provided in its MSDS'.
Buyer has the responsibility to verify the hazards and to conduct any further research necessary to learn the hazards involved in using Products purchased from Seller. Buyer also has the duty to warn Buyer’s customers and any auxiliary personnel (such as freight handlers, etc.) of any risks involved in using or handling the Products.
Buyer agrees to comply with instructions, if any, furnished by Seller relating to the use of the Products and not misuse the Products in any manner. If the Products purchased from Seller are to be repackaged, relabeled, or used as starting material or components of other products, Buyer will verify Seller’s assay of the Products.
When disposing of a chemical, careful consideration must be given to the chemical and physical properties of the compound. Buyer must follow all European, national, and local laws and regulations governing chemical disposal. Only individuals who have received specific chemical education and training and who are conversant with chemical handling and safety procedures should handle the waste disposals of chemicals
Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and expenses (including attorney’s fees and other costs of defending any action) that Seller may sustain or incur as a result of any claim of negligence, breach of implied warranty, strict liability in tort or other theory of law, by Buyer, its officers, agents or employees, its successors or assigns, and its customers, whether direct or indirect, in connection with the use of Seller’s Products, or by reason of Buyer’s failure to perform the obligations herein contained. Buyer shall notify Seller within 15 days of Buyer’s receipt of knowledge of any accident involving Seller’s Products resulting in personal injury or damage to property, and Buyer shall fully cooperate with Seller in the investigation and determination of the cause of such accident and shall make available to Seller all statements, reports and tests made by Buyer or made available to Buyer by others. The furnishing of such information to Seller and any investigation by Seller shall not constitute an assumption of any liability by Seller.
