Of course, if You wish to forego the test and verification phase, and purchase a larger quantity of Products, Telematics' applicable limited warranty will apply. Telematic reserves the right to limit the number of times the 60-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is available to any given customer for any given period.

Acceptance of Orders
All orders are subject to acceptance by Telematic. Telematic holds the right to accept, decline, refuse, or cancel an order for any reason. Customers’ receipt of an electronic confirmation does not signify Telematics' acceptance of an order or confirmation of Telematics' offer to sell. Terms of payment are at the discretion of Telematic. In the event of incorrect pricing or information due to typographical error, Telematic can refuse or cancel the order. In this case, a refund will be issued immediately.

There may be limitations on where Telematic offers international delivery. Customers' orders may be subject to customs fees and import duties of the country to which you have your order shipped. These charges are always the recipient's responsibility.
For products shipped internationally, please note that manufacturer service options may not be available; product manuals, instructions and safety warnings may not be in destination country languages; the products (and accompanying materials) may not be designed in accordance with destination country standards, specifications, and labeling requirements; and the products may not conform to destination country voltage and other electrical standards.

“Order” means the accepted order including any supporting material which the parties identify as incorporated either by attachment or reference (“Supporting Material”). Supporting Material may include (as examples) product lists, product manuals, hardware or software specifications, data sheets and their supplements, published warranties, and may be available to Customer in hard copy or by accessing the Site.

If Customer extends the delivery date of an existing order beyond ninety (90) days from the date the order was first placed, then it will be considered a new order.
Purchase Orders
Purchase Order Numbers provide Telematic a query capability to retrieve data you may need; your Purchase Order Number is placed on your Invoices, Packing Slips, Bills of Lading, and other Reference Documents necessary within your companies operating procedures to process purchases and accept deliveries.
Purchase Order Numbers are also critical as a reference point between your Accounts Payable System and Telematics' Accounts Receivable System. Please note requisition numbers are not sufficient.
Bill To and Ship To Addresses
Indicating the Bill To and Ship To addresses ensures all correspondence (e.g. invoices as well as shipments) is routed appropriately to minimize delays. Ship To addresses are also required to ensure proper application of sales and use tax. Tax rates vary by location. Please note that Telematic cannot send merchandise to Post Office addresses.
Customer Contact
In the event that any questions arise, a Point of Contact and Telephone Number will be necessary to assist Telematic in promptly resolving any issues involved in processing your purchase.
Detailed Product Information
Full Item Descriptions, Quantity and Prices are crucial to ensure that Telematic accurately fulfills and invoices your purchase.
Delivery Date
Orders must specify a delivery date within ninety (90) days from the order date unless otherwise provided in writing and accepted by Telematic.
Extended Delivery Dates
Changes to orders that extend delivery dates beyond ninety (90) days from the order date shall be considered new orders at the prices in effect when Telematic receives the changed order.
Backorder Policy
Products not marked "In Stock" on the Site can still be ordered. In the event that an item ordered is out of stock, Telematic will notify Customer and provide updates as necessary. Availability of out-of-stock items is dependent upon the manufacturer.

Cancellation Policy
Overview
Telematics' Cancellation Policy accounts for the many different types of orders our Customers require. We have set forth the following guidelines to provide our Customers with the information before an order is placed. Once an order is placed but NOT shipped, the following cancellation fee(s) will apply. Once an order has been shipped please refer to Telematics' 60-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and the Return Policy.
Telematic provides for cancellations in the following circumstance:
Should Customer, for any reason, desire to cancel a current order (prior to shipping) they may do so at any time after order placement but before the order is processed by the Telematic Shipping Department or Telematics' supplier's facility in instances of direct shipment.
Where Products exhibit Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable, or Non-Refundable traits or associations, or where Special Charges, special equipment or services are involved, Customer shall be responsible for all related work in progress; however, Telematic shall take responsible steps to mitigate costs immediately upon receipt of a written cancellation notice from Customer. Once an order is placed with Telematic, we will commence procurement, manufacturing and assembly almost immediately, thereby incurring costs and allocating the required materials and resources to fulfill the new order. For larger orders Telematic expects the Customer to first order a small number to determine suitability, compatibility and satisfactory performance for the intended purpose and process.
Customers may cancel their Order online if the Order was created online, or by contacting Telematic during business hours for Orders entered through Telematic via telephone, email, fax, letter or the website.
Cancellation charges shall apply in accordance with these terms and conditions.
Order cancellations shall not be binding upon nor be put into effect by Telematic unless confirmed in writing by Telematics' appropriate representative; cancellation of orders may be accompanied by cancellation fees.
Change fees may apply to:
- Where special equipment or services are involved
- Quantity of Standard Products
- Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable, and Non-Refundable Products
- Special Charges
Standard Products are eligible for cancellation just as Standard Products are covered by Telematics' 60-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
If you purchased new Standard Products directly from Telematic, you may cancel them prior to shipping for a refund or credit (your choice) of the Product purchase price provided the quantity of Standard Products does not exceed twenty-five units (restocking fees apply to only those quantities exceeding twenty-five units).
Standard Products Defined
Any product that is NOT reflective of: Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable or Non-Refundable Products.
Cancelling an Order or Partial Order of Standard Product
Cancellation fees for Standard Products are determined by the quantities and associated net unit prices shown on the order. The fees are applicable to the entire physical configuration of the Product.
To provide our Customers with a fair means of cancelling orders, we offer a cascading fee schedule based on Product quantity and type. For the first instance of partial order cancellations, cancellation percentages are based on the number of Products being cancelled, NOT the total number on the order. Subsequent cancellations will be determined using the number of Products on the original order prior to any cancellations.
Should any event arise that necessitates Customers cancellation of an active order comprised of Standard Products, the following Cancellation Fees shall apply:
Cancellation Fee Schedule – Standard Product
Number of Standard Products (Units) & Restocking Fee (%)
1- 25 0%
1- 25 0%
26- 50 15%
51- 99 35%
100 50%
Example
A Customer cancels an order for 100 Standard Products each having a purchase price of $100.00, the total cancellation charge would be $2090.00 calculated as follows:
UNITS
1- 25 No cancellation fee
26- 50 15% of each unit = $360.
51- 99 35% of each unit = $1,680.
100 50% of each unit = $50.
Cancellation Fee Schedule - Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable and/or Non-Refundable Product
Should any event arise that necessitates Customer cancellation of an active order comprised of Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable or Non-Refundable Products, the following Cancellation Fees shall apply.
Please note Telematic shall take responsible steps to mitigate costs immediately upon receipt of a written cancellation notice from Customer, the sooner we are notified of Your desire to cancel an item or an order the more likely the opportunity that we can reduce this cost to you.
One or more (1 ) Unit(s). Based on any Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable or Non-Refundable Product(s):
- One hundred percent (100%)
Cancellation of an Order in the Event of Misrepresentation
Telematic may terminate any order at any time if any representations made by Customer to Telematic are false or misleading, whether or not a credit card or an account has been charged or an order has received confirmation and acceptance. If a credit card or account has already been charged and an order is then cancelled by Telematic, Telematic shall issue a credit to the credit card or account for the full amount of the charge.

In the event an item is damaged in shipment, you must submit a claim to the Carrier within ten (10) days of delivery. We advise that you unpack and inspect all merchandise immediately upon receiving it. If damage does not become apparent until the shipment is unpacked, make a request within 72 hours for inspection by the carrier’s agent and file with the Carrier. Keep all containers and packing material for inspection.
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the freight bill or Carrier’s receipt and signed by the carrier’s agent prior to your acceptance and signature of receipt of the shipment. Failure to do this may result in the Carrier refusing to honor the claim. Returned equipment shall remain the property of the Customer and all related costs shall be at Customer’s expense. Telematic reserves the right to repair a damaged product, where applicable, before replacement or credit is determined.
Shorted & Incomplete Shipments
Claims that the Product was upon arrival, missing or shorted, at the fault of Telematic or shipping company, must be made within ten (10) days of shipment from Telematic or Telematics supplier.
Incorrect Products Shipped
Claims that the Product shipped is incorrect, at the fault of Telematic or shipping company, must be made within ten (10) days of shipment from Telematic or Telematics supplier.
Shipment Failed to Arrive at Destination
Claims that the Product did not arrive must be made within fourteen (14) days after "Product Shipped" notification.
Testing
Any additional tests or inspections requested by Customer beyond Telematics' standard manufacturing procedures shall be for Customer’s account, unless specified otherwise in writing by Telematic.
Inspection
Customer will have the right to inspect the goods on tender by Telematic. If Customer receives the goods or takes possession of them without inspecting, this will constitute a waiver of its right to inspect. Further, Customer will have the opportunity, at the time and place of inspection, and at its sole expense, to run adequate tests to determine whether the goods are free from defects. If the Customer is to use a portion of the goods for the purpose of test and evaluation and said testing damages the goods, the Customer shall compensate Telematic, at the contract prices, for all goods so damaged, although the goods may be rejected or unacceptable to Customer. In the event Customer rejects any shipment of goods, he may elect to retain a part of the shipment and return the balance.
On-Site Receipt of Equipment & Installation
Customer shall be responsible for receiving, installing, starting up and maintaining all equipment, unless specified in writing by Telematic.
Invoices and Payment
For Customers who have credit terms with Telematic, Customer agrees to pay, without offset or holdback, all invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days of Telematics' invoice date. Telematic may change credit or payment terms for unfulfilled orders if, in Telematics' reasonable opinion, Customer's financial condition, previous payment record, or relationship with Telematic merits such change. Telematic may suspend or discontinue performance of open Orders or Services if Customer fails to pay invoices when due, or if after ten (10) days written notice Customer has not cured any other failure to perform under these Terms.
Customer shall make payment in full prior to or upon delivery by cashier's cheque, credit card, EFT, wire transfer, or money order, unless Telematic approves Customer for credit terms. Acceptance and approval of Customers credit application is at the sole discretion of Telematic. All sums not paid when due shall accrue interest daily at the lesser of a monthly rate of 1.5% or the highest rate permissible by law on the unpaid balance until paid in full. Payment shall be in the currency stated on Telematics' (quotation if provided) and invoice. In the event Customer has credit terms with Telematic, and where an order contains multiple quantities of Products, each Product will be invoiced when shipped.
Telematic accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, wire transfers, and cheques. Wire transfers are acceptable for Customers with credit terms. Telematic may accept C.O.D. Orders are subject to customs duties and/or brokerage fees. Telematic requires full payment prior to shipment, unless credit terms have been expressly granted. If Telematic brings an action for breach of these Terms and Conditions, including any action to enforce its right to payment, Customer shall be liable for Telematics' reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with such action.
Customer will provide Telematic, concurrent with each payment, with remittance information in sufficient detail (to the invoice level or line level as the case may be) to allow Telematic to properly apply payments or credit memos to outstanding receivable(s) on Telematics' accounts receivable sub-ledger for Customer. Customer shall also include its account number with any remittance. Failure to supply Telematic with such remittance detail will result in additional processing delays and may affect the credit status of pending or future Customer purchase orders. When Customer wishes to apply one or more credit memos towards a payment amount owed Telematic, Customer agrees to provide Telematic, on a timely basis, the specific credit memo number(s) and amount(s) to be applied, in addition to the remittance information requirements above. If Customer does not provide such information on a timely basis, Telematic shall apply any such credit memos to outstanding receivables, beginning with the most-aged receivables first.
If a credit card is being used for a transaction, Telematic may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing normally occurs at the time of or shortly after your order transaction is processed. When making purchases, credits are used first; your credit card or your account, if applicable, is then charged for any remaining balance.
Credit Account Terms
Telematic extends a line of credit or credit terms to qualified business Customers. To be considered, your business must meet the following minimum requirements: 1) Your Company has been in business for a minimum of 6 months; 2) You have a business checking account; and 3) You have at least three positive trade credit references. Please fill in the Credit Application form if you want to apply for a Line of Credit.
Payment Methods for Accounts

Letters of Credit
Payment may be made by irrevocable confirmed L/C provided that the total invoice value of the export order is more than US$10,000.00. Multi-line L/C orders must allow for two partial shipments and be valid for a period of at least one hundred fifty (150) days. L/C fees will be charged to Customers account.
Credit Cards
We accept VISA, MasterCard and American Express. We do not accept debit cards. We accept up to two credit cards for a single order; however the credit card holder’s address must be the same as the billing address when purchasing Products.
EFT – Electronic Funds Transfer
Telematic prefers to receive account payments electronically. With our EFT Payment Plan, Telematic emails you an invoice notifying you of the funds being due as per your account terms; your bank transfers the amount of the invoice from your checking account to the specified Telematic account. Each payment is shown on your monthly bank statement. At Telematic we sincerely appreciate working with corporations that endeavor to reduce the amount of paper-based transactions.
Wire Transfer
Telematic accepts bank wire transfers as a valid form of payment. If you would like to use a wire transfer to pay for your order, please perform the following steps: 1. Order your Telematic Product by e-mail, fax, mail, courier or phone. 2. Determine the total amount of the invoice including any applicable taxes and shipping charges. 3. Instruct your bank to electronically transfer the total invoice amount or your order (please have the bank reference your name and Telematic order number).
Payment Terms
Payment terms are subject to Telematic credit approval. Payment is due thirty (30) days from Telematics' invoice date. Telematic may change credit or payment terms at any time when, in Telematics' opinion, Customer’s financial condition, previous payment record, or the nature of Customer’s relationship with Telematic so warrants. Telematic may discontinue performance if Customer fails to pay any sum due, or fails to perform under this or any other Telematic agreement if, after ten (10) days written notice, the failure has not been cured.

This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

It is of utmost importance that the complete product catalog from the manufacturer has been reviewed and understood by the system designer and the user to ensure the product selected is safe for the purposes intended by the system designer and the user. Do not install products or components not governed by industrial design standards. Neither Telematic, nor any of its affiliated entities assumes responsibility for the selection, use or maintenance of any product. Responsibility for proper selection, use, and maintenance of any product remains solely with the purchaser and end user.
Failure or improper selection or improper use of the products described herein or related items can cause death, personal injury and property damage.
Information from Telematic, its suppliers and authorized distributors provide product or system options for further investigation by users having technical expertise.
The user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for making the final selection of the system and components and assuring that all performance, endurance, maintenance, safety and warning requirements of the application are met. The user must analyze all aspects of the application, follow applicable industry standards, and follow the information concerning the product in the current product catalog and in any other materials provided from Telematic or its suppliers or authorized distributors.
To the extent that Telematic or its suppliers or authorized distributors provide component or system options based upon data or specifications provided by the user, the user is responsible for determining that such data and specifications are suitable and sufficient for all applications and reasonably foreseeable uses of the components or systems.
Product Warranty
Except when otherwise noted, Telematic warranties that for the twelve month (12) period commencing upon the ship date, all Products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship and that such warranties shall continue to apply to all products repaired or replaced pursuant to Telematics' warranties until the later of three (3) months after such repair or replacement or fifteen (15) months from the original ship date. Extended warranties may be available on select Products but any extended warranties will apply only if (i) expressly set forth in writing by Telematic prior to shipment and (ii) paid for by Customer. If a Product appears to be non-functioning or defective, read this section and contact Telematic Technical Support at +1 403 253 7939 or send an inquiry to support@telematic.com. A Telematic technician will contact you to discuss your issue and options. If the Product is under warranty at the time Customer submits a warranty claim to Telematic, and the warranty has not been voided, Telematic will, at its sole option, either repair or replace the Product, or issue Customer a refund for the purchase price of the Product. In the case of discontinued items, a comparable replacement as determined by Telematic may be provided. The foregoing shall be Customer's sole remedy and Telematics' sole liability under any warranty claim. The warranty will be void if there is evidence of damage, misuse, or modification by the Customer. The warranty does not extend to software. For warranty repairs, International customers must bear shipping costs to Telematic and any insurance, duties, taxes, brokerage fees and associated expenses associated with the RMA. When items returned for repair are found to be working or when the warranty has been voided, the cost of shipping back to the Customer will be charged to the Customer. Prior to sending back customer specific data storing devices, customers should backup all valuable data.
For products shipped internationally, please note that any manufacturer warranty may not be valid; manufacturer service options may not be available; product manuals, instructions and safety warnings may not be in destination country languages; the products (and accompanying materials) may not be designed in accordance with destination country standards, specifications, and labeling requirements; and the products may not conform to destination country voltage and other electrical standards. Customer is solely responsible for assuring that the product can be lawfully imported to the destination country. When ordering from Telematic, the recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.
Telematic hardware Products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the date Telematic ships the Products to Customer ("Delivery Date"). All software Products are licensed to Customer under the terms of the appropriate Telematic license. For a period of ninety (90) days from the Delivery Date, Telematic software Products (a) will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying written materials, and (b) the medium on which the software product is recorded will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service. Any replacement of a licensed software product will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Customer must obtain a Return Material Authorization number from Telematic before returning any Products under warranty to Telematic. Customer shall pay expenses for shipment of repaired or replacement Products to and from Telematic. After examining and testing a returned product, if Telematic concludes that a returned product is not defective, Customer will be notified, the product returned at Customer's expense, and a charge made for examination and testing. This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the Products has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, modification, improper calibration by Customer, Customer supplied third party software not intended for use with the applicable Product, or unauthorized maintenance or repair.
Product Warranty Claims & Remedies
This Agreement states all remedies for warranty claims. To the extent permitted by law, Telematic disclaims all other warranties. When we receive a valid warranty claim for a Telematic hardware or software product, or third party supplier, Telematic will either repair the relevant defect or replace the product. If Telematic is unable to complete the repair or replace the product within a reasonable time, Customer will be entitled to a full refund upon the prompt return of the product to Telematic (if hardware) or upon written confirmation by Customer that the relevant software product has been destroyed or permanently disabled. Telematic will pay for shipment of repaired or replaced products to Customer and Customer will be responsible for return shipment of the product to Telematic. Telematics' sole obligation (and Customer's sole remedy) with respect to the foregoing Limited Warranty shall be to, at its option, return the fees paid or repair/replace any defective Products, provided that Telematic receives written notice of such defects during the applicable warranty period. Customer may not bring an action to enforce its remedies under the foregoing Limited Warranty more than one (1) year after the accrual of such cause of action.
No Other Warranties
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED ARE MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM USAGE OF TRADE OR COURSE OF DEALING. TELEMATIC DOES NOT WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE AND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCTS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. TELEMATIC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES NOT STATED HEREIN.
No Liability for Consequential Damages
The entire liability of Telematic and its licensors, distributors, and suppliers (including its and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) is set forth above. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Telematic and its licensors, distributors, and suppliers (including its and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) be liable for any damages, including, but not limited to, any special, direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, or consequential damages, expenses, lost profits, lost savings, business interruption, lost business information, or any other damages arising out of the use or inability to use the Products, even if Telematic or its licensors, distributors, and suppliers has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Customer acknowledges that the applicable purchase price or license fee for the Products reflects this allocation of risk. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply. If the foregoing limitation of liability is not enforceable because a Telematic product sold or licensed to Customer is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or property damage, in no event shall Telematics' liability for property damage exceed the greater of $50,000 or fees paid for the specific product that caused such damage.
Disclaimer and Limitation of Warranties
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, ALL PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY "AS IS," WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. This disclaimer and exclusion shall apply even if the express warranty and limited remedy set forth above fails of its essential purpose. The warranty provided is subject to the limitation of liability and waiver of consequential and other damages set forth in these Terms. The Products are not designed, intended or licensed for use in, including without limitation, the design, construction, maintenance or operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, life support or weapons systems. Telematic specifically disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for such purposes. No oral or written information or advice given by Telematic, its dealers, distributors, agents or employees shall create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of any warranty provided in the Agreement.
Limitation on Liability
THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF TELEMATIC, ITS SUPPLIERS AND ITS SUBCONTRACTORS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER BROUGHT UNDER OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER TO TELEMATIC FOR THE PRODUCT(S) THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. THE LIABILITY OF TELEMATIC, ITS SUPPLIERS AND ITS SUBCONTRACTORS SHALL BE CUMULATIVE AND NOT PER INCIDENT. Neither Customer nor Telematic will be liable for lost revenues or profits, downtime costs, loss or damage to data or indirect, special or consequential costs or damages. This provision does not limit either party’s liability for: unauthorized use of intellectual property, death or bodily injury caused by their negligence; acts of fraud; wilful repudiation of the Agreement; nor any liability which may not be excluded or limited by applicable law.
Waiver of Consequential and Other Damages
IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER TELEMATIC, ITS SUPPLIERS OR ITS SUBCONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY COSTS OR EXPENSES FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT, ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST OR DAMAGED DATA, OR ANY INDIRECT DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE AGREEMENT OR THE TERMINATION THEREOF, EVEN IF TELEMATIC, ITS SUPPLIERS OR SUBCONTRACTORS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED IN THE AGREEMENT.

No transfer of ownership of any intellectual property will occur under this Agreement. Customer grants Telematic a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to any intellectual property that is necessary for Telematic and its designees to perform the ordered services.
Intellectual Property Rights Infringement
Telematic will defend and/or settle any claims against Customer that allege that a Telematic or a Telematic-branded product or service as supplied under this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. Telematic will rely on Customer’s prompt notification of the claim and cooperation with our defense. Telematic may modify the product or service so as to be non-infringing and materially equivalent, or we may procure a license. If these options are not available, we will refund to Customer the amount paid for the affected product in the first year or the depreciated value thereafter or, for support services, the balance of any pre-paid amount. Telematic is not responsible for claims resulting from any unauthorized use of the products or services.
License Term and Termination
Unless otherwise specified, any license granted is perpetual, provided however that if Customer fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, Telematic may terminate the license upon written notice. Immediately upon termination, or in the case of a limited-term license, upon expiration, Customer will either destroy all copies of the software or return them to Telematic, except that Customer may retain one copy for archival purposes only.
Global Trade Compliance
Products and services provided under these Terms are for Customer’s internal use and not for further commercialization. If Customer exports, imports or otherwise transfers products and/or deliverables provided under these terms, Customer will be responsible for complying with applicable laws and regulations and for obtaining any required export or import authorizations. Telematic may suspend its performance under this Agreement to the extent required by laws applicable to either party.
Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for performance delays or for non-performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations. Telematic shall be excused for any delay or failure to perform due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of governments, natural catastrophes, acts of Customer, interruptions of transportation or inability to obtain necessary labor or materials. Telematics' estimated shipping schedule shall be extended by a period of time equal to the time lost because of any excusable delay. In the event Telematic is unable to perform in whole or in part because of any excusable failure to perform, Telematic may cancel orders, in whole or in part, without liability to Customer.
Delay in performance or non-performance of any obligation contained herein shall be excused to the extent such failure or non-performance is caused by Force Majeure. For purposes of this Agreement, "Force Majeure" shall mean any cause preventing performance of an obligation under this Agreement (except for the payment of money) which is beyond the reasonable control of either party hereto, and which by the exercise of reasonable and customary due diligence, could not have been avoided or overcome, including without limitation, fire, flood, sabotage, shipwreck, embargo, explosion, labor trouble, accident, riot, acts of governmental authority (including, without limitation, acts based on laws or regulations now in existence as well as those enacted in the future), acts of God, and delays or failure in obtaining Product(s) from suppliers, raw materials or transportation.
Termination
Either party may terminate this Agreement on written notice if the other fails to meet any material obligation and fails to remedy the breach within a reasonable period after being notified in writing of the details. If either party becomes insolvent, unable to pay debts when due, files for or is subject to bankruptcy or receivership or asset assignment, the other party may terminate this Agreement and cancel any unfulfilled obligations. Any terms in the Agreement which by their nature extend beyond termination or expiration of the Agreement will remain in effect until fulfilled and will apply to both parties' respective successors and permitted assigns.
