• 10. DESIGN AND USE CONSIDERATIONS
  
  • 10.1. The following factors could influence the engineering, design and application of Supplier’s Goods and should be considered by the Customer prior to issuing the Purchase Order:
    
    • 10.1.1. The Goods have been designed to provide protection against fire, both existing and imminent, for a limited duration of time when (i) the system is fully operational; (ii) used in its normal, expected environment; and (iii) the system and its component parts are properly installed, maintained and operated in complete accordance with the written or digital instructions supplied with the system.
    • 10.1.2. The duration of the protection against fires is dependent upon a sufficient concentration of agent being maintained in the protected hazard area for a determined period of time. The duration will be shortened by conditions or circumstances that may ventilate, cause agent concentration dilution within the protected hazard area, thereby causing insufficient concentration of agent needed to extinguish or prevent the existence or re-ignition of combustion or fire.
      
      • 10.1.2.1. All hazard areas have different rates of ventilation, leakage, or agent dilution that, in many cases, may be impossible to predict or determine: air vents, air conditioning systems, gaps and cracks in the enclosure, windows, cable and pipe penetrations, etc., all may impact the agent concentration and the duration of the protection against fire.
      • 10.1.2.2. Unforeseen changes in the configuration of a hazard area such as removal of a wall an explosion or fire external to the protected space, changes in the enclosure’s configuration, etc. can influence the duration of the fire protection.
      • 10.1.2.3. Due to the many and varied circumstances and conditions, Firetrace makes no warranty (Condition 8) as to the duration of the protection against fire, and the warranty in Condition 8 shall exclude all such events.
    • 10.1.3. The effectiveness of an agent, such as FM-200® and/or CO2, as a fire extinguishant is directly related to the concentration of the agent required to extinguish various substances. Not all substances require the same agent concentration to be extinguished. It is the Customer’s responsibility to properly define the hazard area(s) being protected.
    • 10.1.4. The effectiveness of the Firetrace system is dependent upon the timely discharge of the agent fire extinguishant into the protected area. If unforeseen circumstances such as explosion, failure of the detection system to activate the Firetrace system, failure to manually activate the system, etc. occur, they can prevent the system discharge from being accomplished in a timely manner, and the fire may become deep seated or out of control and completely destroy the hazard area. Since Firetrace has no control over these circumstances, there are no warranties as to the effectiveness of extinguishment of the fire.
    • 10.1.5. Even if the Firetrace system is completely effective in suppressing a fire, failure to remove the ignition source of the fire could result in a re-ignition of the fire. When possible, the source of the fire should immediately be eliminated to prevent re-ignition. Protection against re-ignition only exists when a sufficient concentration of agent remains in the hazard area.
    • 10.1.6. The judgment of operating personnel as to when to activate a Firetrace system, in an emergency, affects the protection provided by the system.
    • 10.1.7. Because of the widely varying conditions and circumstances under which the Firetrace system can be used, some conditions can cause its effectiveness to be unpredictable.
    • 10.1.8. In the event of fire, evacuation of personnel from the protected area must be accomplished without delay.
• 11. FORCE MAJEURE
  
  • 11.1. The Supplier will not be in breach of the Contract or otherwise liable to the Customer for any failure to perform or delay in performing its obligations under the Contract to the extent that such failure or delay is due to a Force Majeure Event.
  • 11.2. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, the Supplier will as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of the Force Majeure Event give written notice to the Customer that the Force Majeure Event has occurred; and
  • 11.3. If the Supplier is affected by a Force Majeure Event, the Customer will continue to pay the Supplier’s invoices in accordance with Condition 4 in respect of any Goods and Services which the Supplier has supplied or continues to supply notwithstanding the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event.
  • 11.4. If a Force Majeure Event which gives rise to relief from liability under Condition 11.1 continues for a period of more than ninety (90) days, then Supplier will be entitled to terminate any Contract immediately by giving written notice to that effect to Customer. Upon such termination, Customer shall be entitled to a refund for any Goods not Delivered and any Services not provided under the terminated Contract.
• 12. CONFIDENTIALITY
  
  • 12.1. Each party undertakes that it shall not at any time disclose to any person any confidential information concerning the business, affairs, customers, or suppliers of the other party or of any member of the Group to which the other party belongs (“Confidential Information”) except as permitted below in Condition 12.2.

    • 12.2.2. As may be required by law, a court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental or regulatory authority.
  • 12.3. Neither party shall use the other party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under or in connection with the Contract.
  • 12.4. Within 30 days after the date of expiration or termination of the Contract, on request by the other party, each party will return to the other party or destroy the other party’s Confidential Information.
• 13. DATA PROTECTION
  
  • 13.1. Each party will comply with the Data Protection Laws applicable to it.
