For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer understands that Supplier may modify the Device Grades without notice to Buyer, and Buyer must inquire about the current structure of Supplier’s grading process. Subject to the As-Is condition of the Products, if Buyer receives an incorrect amount of Products for a certain Device Grade, Buyer may request a return from Supplier. Supplier, in its subjective discretion, may accept returns for the Products. In its subjective discretion, Supplier may issue a credit for Products or issue a partial credit in lieu of a return. Buyer must notify Supplier in writing of the issue within ten (10) days of the date the Product is received at the Inventory Location by Buyer. If permitted by Supplier to return the Products, you must return the Products to us in the original sales condition and packaging. Upon receipt of the Products, Supplier reserves the right to inspect and determine if the Products should be returned prior to issuing the credit . Note that any credits for returned Products are eligible to be used for future bids on Products from Supplier. Supplier will not issue a credit across Supplier entities, e.g., a purchase from an affiliate of Supplier will not be credited against orders involving another Supplier affiliate.
6.2 Returns Process. To return Products, Buyer must obtain, complete, and return a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) to Supplier. To obtain a blank RMA, please send an email to [email protected]. Buyer should fill out the RMA (missing information may result in claim being denied or delayed) and submit the RMA to [email protected]. Within seven (7) business days of RMA submission, Buyer will receive an email from Supplier with (a) an RMA number which authorizes Buyer to return the Products to Supplier, or (b) information as to why an RMA number cannot be issued (e.g., missing information, late submission, etc...). Buyer shall not return Products until the RMA number is issued or the return will be invalidated by Supplier. Buyer must include the assigned RMA number on all Products returned to Supplier, and specific shipping information will be communicated to Buyer when the RMA number is assigned. The RMA may be cancelled if the applicable Products are not received by the Supplier within ten (10) business days after RMA is issued. RMA claims will be processed within thirty (30) days of Supplier’s receipt of the returned Products. For all returns, Buyer will pay for all freight to Supplier’s facility and retain risk of loss until the Products are received and processed by Supplier. If applicable, Buyer will provide a commercial invoice, the shipping label, and other documents Supplier may request.
6.3 Special Situations. In limited cases, and in Supplier’s subjective discretion, Supplier may provide a credit without requiring a return of Products, e.g., if Buyer elects to keep Products that were shipped in error, Supplier may choose to adjust the price charged in lieu of requiring a return shipment. Buyer should not use, sell, or return any Products that were shipped in error until instructed to do so by Supplier.
6.4 Restocking Fee. As provided in Section 5.1 of these Terms above, a restocking fee may be assessed in certain situations as determined by Supplier, including in connection with returns of Products that are:(a) not issued a valid RMA number; (b) denied by Supplier for any reason provided in these Terms.
7. Naming the Warehouse on the Distributor Liquidated Auctions.
7.1 Supplier Marks. Marks means trademarks, service marks, trade dress, logos, trade names, domain names, URLs and corporate names, and other source identifiers, together with all translations, adaptations, derivations, and combinations thereof and including all goodwill associated therewith, and all applications, registrations, and renewals in connection therewith (“Marks”). Supplier grants to Distributor during the term of this Agreement, a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicenseable, revocable, royalty-free license to use and reproduce any Marks belonging to Supplier and provided to Distributor solely in conjunction with Distributor’s rights and obligations under the Distributor Sales Agreement (“Supplier Marks”). Supplier warrants to Distributor that it has the right and authority to sublicense the Supplier Marks to Distributor under the terms of this Agreement. Distributor acknowledges that the Supplier Marks, along with all associated intellectual property rights and goodwill, are the property of Supplier. Distributor agrees that any use of the Supplier Marks will inure to the benefit of Supplier. Except for the limited rights granted to Distributor above, Supplier reserves all right, title and interest in the Supplier Marks. Distributor agrees that Supplier, whether directly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, does not grant any other rights to Distributor, and Distributor expressly disclaims all other right, title and interest in the Supplier Marks. Distributor will not during the Term or thereafter challenge the right, title or interest of Supplier in the Supplier Marks, claim any right, title or interest in any of the Supplier Marks, alone or with other elements, or assert any interest in or attempt to register any of the Supplier Marks or any confusingly similar variation of the Supplier Marks in any form. Distributor will not alter or modify Supplier Marks and will not use the Supplier Marks in any way that damages or may damage the reputation, business or goodwill of Supplier. Distributor will not directly or indirectly infringe, dilute, misappropriate or misuse the Supplier Marks or damage the goodwill associated with the Supplier Marks. Upon written request, Distributor will submit specimens showing its proposed uses of the Supplier Marks to Supplier for Supplier’s prior review and written approval. Upon ten (10) calendar days prior written notice by Supplier, Distributor will provide a sampling of media bearing the Supplier Marks sufficient to permit Supplier to evaluate the manner of Distributor’s use. Supplier reserves the right to withdraw permission for continued use of the Supplier Marks by Distributor at any time without cause. If Supplier makes use of this right, it will not be held liable for any damages. Upon termination of the Term of this Agreement, Distributor shall immediately cease using the Supplier Marks in all capacities and return any of Supplier’s Confidential Information related to the Supplier Marks.
7.2 Assurant Sourced. Distributor understands that Supplier has built equity, reputation, and goodwill through its use of Device Grades, and if Distributor used alternative device grades while identifying that Supplier is the source of the Devices, it can cause harm to Supplier’s goodwill. Supplier will allow Distributor to title a warehouse on the Distributor Liquidated Auction as “Assurant Sourced”. The use of “Assurant Sourced” will be considered use of Supplier Marks and all of the foregoing restrictions and requirements apply. “Assurant Sourced” is the only Supplier Mark that may be used on the Distributor Liquidated Auction. If Distributor uses the Supplier Marks on the Distributor Liquidated Auction, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Distributor will only utilize the Device Grades in its description of the Products to Purchasers. Distributor understands that Supplier may not own all devices, and will not make any references to Supplier’s ownership of the Device. Any references to Supplier will conform to all marketing and branding guidelines provided by Supplier and any applicable advertising laws.
7.3 Anonymized Warehouses. For the avoidance of doubt, if Distributor does not reference that any specific Products or any specific warehouse on the Distributor Liquidated Auction are sourced from Supplier or Supplier’s affiliated entities, Distributor will not need to utilize the Device Grades in its description of the Products to Purchasers.
