The parties agree that the limitations on liabilities set forth herein are agreed and bargained-for allocations of risk and Compugen’s compensation for the Products reflects such allocations. Such limitations will apply notwithstanding the failure of the essential purpose of this Agreement or any remedy contained herein and even if a party has been advised of the possibility of any such failure or liability.
Return Privileges
Approvals for unused, unopened returns are subject to manufacturer return policies and guidelines and Compugen’s ability to return Product to its vendors. Such Products must be complete and in manufacturer’s original packaging, with no visible damage. Compugen will not be required to accept any return of sold Products without an approved return merchandise authorization (“RMA”) number, which may be obtained by contacting RMARequests@compugen.com. An RMA number is valid for five (5) days from Compugen issuance date unless other arrangements are made between the parties at the time of Compugen’ s RMA approval. The Compugen RMA number is to be clearly noted on a shipping label affixed to the outer shipping box and any items received into a Compugen return facility without an RMA number or after the elapsed time period will be sent back to the Customer at the customer’s expense, unless otherwise agreed. Except in the event of a Compugen or vendor error, Customer will be responsible for shipping charges associated with any Products being shipped for return, exchange or replacement, unless otherwise agreed by Compugen. Products exchanged or replaced will be shipped back to Customer, at Customer’s expense. At Compugen’ discretion, restocking fees may be charged for items which do not qualify for return under this policy. Some manufacturers require that defective or Dead on Arrival (DOA) Products be returned directly to them, or they may limit the timeframe in which Products can be returned; therefore, Products that are inoperable at initial use may be eligible for DOA return to or replacement by the manufacturer, subject to the manufacturer’s product defective/DOA return policies. If the Product is not returnable under manufacturer guidelines, Compugen will make every attempt to repair or replace the Product through the manufacturer’s warranty and Compugen will work with its vendors to facilitate returns for the Customer.
Arbitration
Any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including, but not limited to, statutory, common law, intentional tort and equitable claims capable in law of being submitted to binding arbitration) arising from or relating to the Products sold pursuant to this Agreement, the interpretation or application of these Terms or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third-parties who are not signatories hereto), or COMPUGEN's or any of its Affiliates' advertising or marketing (collectively, a “Claim”) WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE ADR INSTITUTE OF CANADA, INC. Neither COMPUGEN nor Customer will have the right to litigate that Claim in court or to have a jury trial on that Claim or to engage in pre-arbitration discovery, except as provided for in the applicable arbitration rules or by agreement of the parties involved. Further, Customer will not have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any Claim. Notwithstanding any choice of law provision included in this Agreement, this arbitration is subject to the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario), as amended. The arbitration will take place exclusively in Toronto, Ontario. The language of the arbitration shall be conducted in English. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator. Each party involved will bear its own cost of any legal representation, discovery or research required to complete arbitration. The existence or results of any arbitration will be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all matters pertaining to the collection of amounts due to COMPUGEN arising out of the Products will be exclusively litigated in court rather than through arbitration.
Governing Law
