Scope of Use
Subject to the terms of this MTA, Purchaser’s Investigator may make and use the Biological Materials provided to Purchaser by ASC for research purposes only in Purchaser’s Investigator’s laboratory only. The Biological Materials are not intended for use in humans. Purchaser agrees that Biological Materials designated as biosafety level 2 or 3 constitute known pathogens and that other Biological Materials not so designated may be pathogenic under certain conditions. Purchaser assumes all risk and responsibility in connection with the receipt, handling, storage, disposal, transfer and Purchaser’s use of the Biological Materials including without limitation taking all appropriate safety and handling precautions to minimize health or environmental risk. Purchaser agrees that any activity undertaken with the Biological Materials will be conducted in compliance with all applicable guidelines, laws and regulations, and that Purchaser will obtain all permits, licenses or other approvals required by any governmental authority in connection with purchaser’s receipt, handling, storage, disposal, transfer and use of the Biological Materials.
Purchaser shall not distribute, sell, lend or otherwise transfer to a person or entity not party to this MTA the Biological Material, as defined above, for any reason, without ASC’s prior written agreement.
Any Commercial Use of the Biological Material is strictly prohibited without ASC’s prior written consent. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s use of certain Biological Material may require a license from a person or entity not party to this MTA, or be subject to restrictions that may be imposed by a person or entity not party to this MTA (“Third Party Terms”). To the extent of ASC’s knowledge of the existence of any such applicable rights or restrictions, ASC will take reasonable steps to identify the same, either in ASC’s catalog of ASC Materials and/or through ASC’s customer service representatives, and to the extent they are in the possession of ASC, ASC shall make information regarding such Third Party Terms reasonably available for review by Purchaser upon request. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that if there is a conflict between this MTA and the Third Party Terms, the Third Party Terms shall govern. Use of the Biological Materials may be subject to the intellectual property rights of a person or entity not party to this MTA, the existence of which rights may or may not be identified in the ASC catalog or website, and ASC makes no representation or warranty regarding the existence or the validity of such rights. Purchaser shall have the sole responsibility for obtaining any intellectual property licenses necessitated by its possession and use of the Biological Materials.
The use permitted under this MTA for Industry Sponsored Academic Research extends only to the academic research carried out at the non-profit organization and the non-profit organization’s employees. Any non-profit Purchaser using the Biological Materials in connection with Industry Sponsored Academic Research agrees to notify the industrial sponsor that any use of the Biological Materials by the industry sponsor will require a separate license from ASC and/or its Contributors and that ASC and/or its Contributors are under no obligation hereunder to license any Biological Materials to any such industry sponsor.
Warranty; Warranty Disclaimer
ASC warrants that (a) cells and microorganisms included in the ASC Material shall be viable upon initiation of culture for a period of thirty (30) days after shipment thereof from ASC and (b) any ASC Material other than cells and microorganisms shall meet the specifications on the applicable ASC Material product information sheet, certificate of analysis, and/or catalog description until the expiration date on the applicable ASC Material’s product label (such thirty (30) day period, or period until the expiration date, referred to herein as the “Warranty Period”). Purchaser’s exclusive remedy, and ASC’s sole liability, for breach of the warranties set forth in this paragraph is for ASC to, at ASC’s sole option, either (i) refund the fee paid to ASC for such ASC Material (exclusive of shipping and handling charges), or (ii) replace the ASC Material.
