The price or discount if we specify one, for each Product and Service will be made available to you in a communication which we provide to you in published form or through our electronic information systems or a combination of both.

We may change prices and discounts at any time.

It may become necessary that Lenovo increases prices or decreases discounts of Products which your ordered but Lenovo did not ship yet.

Amounts are due upon receipt of invoice and payable as specified in our operational guidance to you. You agree to pay accordingly, including any late payment fee. Details of any late payment fee will be provided upon request at the time of order and will be included in the notice.

You may use a credit only after we issue it.

If any authority requires us to include in our invoice to you a duty, tax, levy, or fee which they impose, excluding those based on our net income, upon any transaction under this Agreement, then you agree to pay that amount.

Failure to Pay Any Amounts Due

If you fail to pay any amounts due in the required period of time, you agree that we may do one or more of the following, unless precluded by law:

  • 1. impose a finance charge, as we specify to you in writing, up to the maximum permitted by law, on the portion which was not paid during the required period;
  • 2. require payment on or before delivery of Products and Services;
  • 3. repossess any Products and Services for which you have not paid. If we do so, you agree to pay all expenses associated with repossession and collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees. You agree to make the Products and Services available to us at a site that is mutually convenient;
  • 4. not accept your order until any amounts due are paid;
  • 5. terminate this Agreement;
  • 6. pursue any other remedy available at law.

We may offset any amounts due you, or designated for your use (for example, marketing funds or promotional offerings), against amounts due us.


14. Reporting

You agree to:

  • 1. provide on a weekly basis sales-out reports covering sales from Monday to the close of business of the following Sunday . Your report must include part number, quantity, resale invoice number, resale invoice date and, if applicable, the Reseller to whom you sold the Products or Services, We must receive every week's report within the first two (2) working days of the following week;
  • 2. provide an inventory position weekly. If you report on a weekly basis, this weekly report must contain the previous week’s inventory position as at close of business on Friday; and
  • 3. format all your reports as we specify in the operational guidance we provide to you.

15. Title, Risk of Loss

When you order a Product we transfer title to you upon delivery to the Lenovo-designated carrier. Products are owned by Lenovo until title has been transferred to you. Lenovo does not transfer title to any software products.

Your right to possession of Products will cease if you have not yet fully paid for the Products and: 1) your actions entitle any person to appoint a receiver or administrative receiver of your property; 2) you become subject to any form of insolvency proceedings (or Lenovo has reason to believe any of the preceding events is likely to occur); 3) you fail to make payments hereunder when due; or 4) the Agreement is terminated. We may then, in addition to any other remedies available to us, enter any premises to recover unpaid Products and require you not to resell or part with possession of Products until you have paid us, in full, all sums due to us.

You will pass title to any returned Products to Lenovo free from all encumbrances.

For each Product, Lenovo bears the risk of loss or damage up to the time it is delivered to the Lenovo-designated carrier for shipment to you. Thereafter, you assume the risk. Each Product will be covered by insurance, arranged and provided by Lenovo for you, covering the period until it is delivered to you.


16. Installation and Warranty

We provide instructions to enable the setup of customer-set-up-machines. We are not responsible for the installation of Programs or third party Machines. We do, however, pre-load Programs onto certain Machines.

A copy of our applicable warranty statement is available at http://www.lenovo.com/think/support. You agree to provide it to the Customer for review before the sale is finalized, unless we specify otherwise. Further, you agree to inform the End User if a Machine contains a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) such as a mouse, keyboard, speaker, memory, or hard disk drive). Lenovo provides replacement CRUs to the End User for installation by the End User.

Warranty terms for Programs are described in the Programs’ license terms.

We provide third party Products WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, unless we specify otherwise. However, third party manufacturers, suppliers or publishers may provide their own warranties to you.

For third party Products we approve you to market, you agree to inform your customer in writing 1) that the Products are non-Lenovo, 2) the manufacturer or supplier who is responsible for warranty (if any), and 3) of the procedure to obtain any warranty service.


17. Lenovo Warranty Service

If we approve you to provide Warranty Service, you agree to do so for those Products specified according to the terms in the Service Support Guide.


18. Remarketing of Services

We may provide separately (e.g. in an Attachment, the Exhibits, or in other communications that you accept explicitly ) terms governing your remarketing of Services the End User purchases from you and which we, our servicer or subcontractor perform under the terms of the Service agreement signed or accepted by the End User.


19. Export and Import

You may actively market Products and Services only within the Territory. You may not market outside this scope, and you agree not to use anyone else to do so.

Export and Import Laws

You warrant that you will comply with all applicable export and import laws when you market Products, Services and technical data. You agree that if you export or import Products, Services and technical data, you, and not Lenovo, will act as the exporter or importer. Further, you warrant that you are knowledgeable with, and are and will remain in full compliance with, the applicable export and import laws, regulations, orders and policies (including, but not limited to, securing all necessary clearance requirements, export and import licenses and exemptions, and making all proper filings). We may, at our sole discretion, require you from time to time to provide us with written certification relating to your compliance with applicable export and import laws or prohibit you from doing business with certain Customers in order to ensure that you and Lenovo comply with applicable export and import laws.

You will indemnify us for claims made against us for your failure to comply with applicable export and import laws, regulations or orders.

Customer Exports

If a Customer acquires a Product for export, you agree to use your best efforts to ensure that it complies with all applicable export and import laws.

For a Product acquired for export outside the Territory, our responsibilities, if any, under this Agreement no longer apply to that Product unless the Product's warranty or license terms state otherwise. Before your sale of such Product, you agree to prepare a support plan for it and obtain your Customer's agreement to that plan. Within one month of sale, you agree to provide us with the Customer's name and address, Machine type/model, and serial number if applicable, date of sale, and destination country.

Attainment

Products you export (or which are acquired by a Customer for export) outside the Territory will not count toward attainment of your objectives and will not qualify for applicable promotional offerings and marketing funds. We may also reduce future supply allocations to you by the number of exported Products.


20. Trademarks

We will provide you with written guidelines which we may periodically modify regarding the authorized use of the Lenovo title and emblem. You may not modify the emblem in any way. You may use our Trademarks (which include the title, emblem, Lenovo Trademarks and service marks) only:

  • 1. within Territory;
  • 2. in association with Products and Services we approve you to market; and
  • 3. as described in the written guidelines provided to you.

The royalty normally associated with non-exclusive use of the Trademarks will be waived, since the use of this asset is in conjunction with marketing activities supporting sales of Products and Services.

You agree to promptly modify, at your expense, any advertising or promotional materials that do not comply with our guidelines. If you receive any complaints about your use of a Trademark, you agree to promptly notify us. When this Agreement ends, you agree to promptly stop using our Trademarks. If you do not, you agree to pay any expenses and fees we incur in getting you to stop.

You agree not to register or use any mark that is confusingly similar to any of our Trademarks.

Our Trademarks, and any goodwill resulting from your use of them, belong to us.


21. Patents and Copyrights

If a third party claims that a Product Lenovo provides under this Agreement infringes that party’s patent or copyright, Lenovo will defend you against that claim at its expense and pay all costs, damages, and attorney’s fees that a court finally awards, provided that you: 1) promptly notify Lenovo in writing of the claim; and 2) allow Lenovo to control, and cooperate with Lenovo in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations.

If you maintain an inventory, and such a claim is made or appears likely to be made about a Product in your inventory, you agree to permit us either to enable you to continue to market and use the Product, or to modify or replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If we determine that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, you agree to return the Product to us on our written request. We will then give you a credit, as we determine, which will be either 1) the price you paid us for the Product (less any price-reduction credit), or 2) the depreciated price. This is Lenovo’s entire obligation to you regarding any claim of infringement.

Claims for Which Lenovo is Not Responsible

Lenovo has no obligation regarding any claim based on any of the following:

  • 1. anything you provide which is incorporated into a Product;
  • 2. your modification of a Product, or a Program's use in other than its specified operating environment;
  • 3. the combination, operation, or use of a Product with any Products not provided by us as a system, or the combination, operation, or use of a Product with any product data, apparatus, or business method that Lenovo did not provide; or
  • 4. infringement by a non-Lenovo Product alone, as opposed to its combination with Products we provide to you as a system.

22. Liability

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default or other liability, one of us is entitled to recover damages from the other. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which damages can be claimed, the following terms apply as your exclusive remedy and our exclusive liability.

Our Liability

Lenovo is responsible for no more than:

  • 1) payments referred to in the "Patents and Copyrights" section above;
  • 2) damages for bodily injury (including death) caused by our negligence;
  • 3) actual direct loss or damage to real property or tangible personal property caused by our negligence; and
  • 4) the amount of any other actual direct loss or damage arising from our negligence or breach of this Agreement, up to the amount you paid for the Product or Service that is the subject of the claim.

Items for Which We Are Not Liable

Under no circumstances (except as required by law) is Lenovo, its subcontractors, or Program developers liable for any of the following even if informed of their possibility:

  • 1) third-party claims against you for damages (other than those under the first three items above in the subsection entitled "Our Liability");
  • 2) loss of, or damage to, your records or data; or
  • 3) special, incidental, or indirect damages, or for any economic consequential damages, or lost profits, business, revenue, goodwill or anticipated savings.

Your Liability

In addition to damages for which you are liable under law and the terms of this Agreement, you will indemnify us for claims made against us by others (particularly regarding statements, representations, or warranties not authorized by us) arising out of your conduct under this Agreement or as a result of your relations with anyone else.


23. Electronic Communications

Each of us may communicate with the other by electronic means, (for example, to provide written notice or consent to the other) and such communication is acceptable as a signed writing to the extent permissible under applicable law. Both of us agree that for all electronic communications, an identification code (called a "user ID") contained in an electronic document is sufficient to verify the sender's identity and the document's authenticity.


24. Ending the Agreement

Regardless of the contract duration specified in the Details of Our Relationship section of the Profile, or any renewal period in effect, either of us may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, on three months' written notice. If, under applicable law, a longer period is mandatory, then the notice period is the minimum notice period allowable.

If we terminate for cause we may, at our discretion, allow you a reasonable opportunity to cure. If you fail to do so, the date of termination is that specified in the notice.

However, if either party breaches a material term of the Agreement, the other party may terminate the Agreement on written notice. Examples of such breach by you are: if you do not maintain customer satisfaction; if you repudiate this Agreement; or if you make any material misrepresentations to us. You agree that our only obligation is to provide the notice called for in this section and we are not liable for any claims or losses if we do so.

We both agree that if we permit you to perform certain activities after this Agreement ends, the activities and respective responsibilities will be performed under the terms of this Agreement.


25. Governing Law

The laws of England and Wales will govern, construe and enforce the rights, duties and obligations arising under, or relating in any manner to, the subject matter of this Agreement, notwithstanding any conflicts of laws principles.

The "United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods" does not apply.

Both of us agree to submit all disputes relating to this Agreement to the jurisdiction of the Courts of London, United Kingdom.
