3. GOODS
3.1 Price. As specified in the applicable Order, Customer shall purchase the Goods from SitePro at the prices set forth in the SitePro’s quotation or proposal referenced in the Order; provided, however, if SitePro’s prices for such Goods should increase before delivery of the Goods to a carrier for shipment to Customer, then this Agreement shall be construed as if the increased prices were originally inserted herein, and Customer shall be billed by SitePro on the basis of such increased prices.
3.2 Security Interest. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Goods and for so long as the payment of such purchase price remains outstanding, Customer hereby grants to SitePro a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Customer in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or here after arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code.
3.3 Shipment. SitePro shall deliver the Goods within the time identified in the Order or in lieu thereof a reasonable time after the receipt of the Order using SitePro’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. Delivery shall be made FOB SitePro’s Lubbock, Texas facility or such other location as may be designated in the Order. SitePro may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Customer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Customer shall pay for the Goods shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of the Order. Title and risk of loss shall pass to Customer upon delivery of the Goods at the designated delivery point (the “Delivery Point”). SitePro shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit.
3.4 Acceptance. Customer shall take delivery of the Goods upon the date of SitePro’s written notice that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point. Customer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Point unless specified otherwise in an Order. If for any reason Customer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to SitePro’s notice that the Goods have been delivered at the Delivery Point, or if SitePro is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point on such date because Customer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Customer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) SitePro, at its option, may store the Goods until Customer picks them up, whereupon Customer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).
3.5 Limited Liability. Any liability of SitePro for non‐delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Goods to reflect the actual quantity delivered. SitePro shall not be liable for any non‐delivery of Goods (even if caused by SitePro’s negligence) unless Customer gives written notice to SitePro of the non‐delivery within ten (10) days of the date when the Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received. The quantity of any installment of Goods as recorded by SitePro on dispatch from SitePro’s designated shipping point is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Customer on delivery unless Customer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.
3.6 Inspection. Customer shall inspect the Goods within ten (10) days of receipt (“Inspection Period”). Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies SitePro in writing of any Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by SitePro. “Nonconforming Goods” means only the following: (i) item shipped is different than identified in Customer’s purchase order; or (ii) item’s label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents. If Customer timely notifies SitePro of any Nonconforming Goods, SitePro shall, in its sole discretion, (a) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (b) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Customer in connection therewith. Customer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to SitePro’s Lubbock, Texas facility unless SitePro instructs Customer to direct shipment to another location. If SitePro exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, SitePro shall, after receiving Customer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Customer, at Customer’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Delivery Point. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 3.6 are Customer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods. Except as set forth in the Order or under this Section 3.6, all sales of Goods to Customer are made on a one‐way basis and Customer has no right to return Goods purchased under this Agreement to SitePro.
3.7. Limited Use. Customer agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, reverse engineer, use or access the Goods for purposes of (1) developing any goods, hardware or software that are not sold or licensed by SitePro, (2) competitive analysis, or (3) the development, improvement, benchmarking or any other purpose related to any other software product, hardware, or service not offered, sold or licensed by SitePro.

Confidential Information of SitePro includes all information relating to the Software, Documentation, Services and System, and the terms and conditions of all Orders (including pricing) whether or not marked or designated as confidential. Confidential Information of SItePro includes business and marketing plans, technology, and technical information (including, but not limited to, its source code (both in compiled and uncompiled format) setpoints, database schema, control narratives, scaling and other algorithms, hardware configurations of cameras and other hardware and Goods, register polling information, hardware mappings, input / output layouts, its HMI and other technical aspects and know-how relating to the Software, Documentation and System), product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party and any other nonpublic, sensitive information the parties should reasonably consider a trade secret or otherwise confidential.

8.5 Injunction. Customer agrees that: (a) no adequate remedy exists at law if it breaches any of its obligations in this Article 9; (b) it would be difficult to determine the damages resulting from its breach of this Article 9, and such breach would cause irreparable harm to SitePro; and (iii) a grant of injunctive relief provides the best remedy for any such breach, without any requirement that SitePro prove actual damage or post a bond or other security. Customer waives any opposition to such injunctive relief or any right to such proof, bond, or other security. (This Section 8.5 does not limit either party’s right to injunctive relief for breaches not listed.)

The obligations of the indemnifying party (“Indemnitor”) pursuant to this Article 12: (a) include retention and payment of attorneys and payment of court costs, as well as settlement at Indemnitor’s expense and payment of judgments; and (b) will be excused to the extent the other contracting party’s (“Indemnified Party’s”) or any of such Indemnified Party’s Associates’ fail to provide prompt notice of the Indemnified Claim or reasonably cooperate in a manner which materially prejudices the defense. If Indemnitor fails to assume the defense on time to avoid prejudicing the defense, Indemnified Party may defend the Indemnified Claim, without loss of rights pursuant to this Article 12. Indemnitor will control the defense of any Indemnified Claim, including appeals, negotiations, and any settlement or compromise thereof; provided Indemnified Party will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects it to any ongoing affirmative obligations.
