Preamble

1.

The following terms and conditions together with the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase order (the “PO”), and, if applicable, in the documents attached to the PO (the “Special Terms” and collectively, the “Terms”) shall apply to all purchases of the products and/or services (“Products”) made by LK., from the supplier designated on the PO (“Supplier”). Each of LK and Supplier shall be referred to herein as a “Party”, and collectively, the “Parties”. 

2.

    These Terms shall enter into force upon acceptance of the PO by Supplier in accordance with Section 35 of these Terms, and shall solely govern the purchase of the Products by LK from the Supplier. By accepting the PO, Supplier acknowledges and agrees that these Terms constitute the complete contract between LK and Supplier with respect to the transactions contemplated by the PO, and that they supersede all prior or contemporaneous representations, communications, agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter thereof, unless agreed otherwise by LK and Supplier in writing. No modification or addition to these Terms or to any other provision of the contract for the sale of Products shall be binding on either party unless mutually agreed in advance.

3.      In the event of any conflict between the Special Terms (as approved by LK) and any other terms and conditions set forth in these Terms, the Special Terms shall prevail.

The Products

4.      The Products will be supplied to LK and will be of the type, quality, drawing revision size, class of material, description, finishing, condition and packaging

       any other specifications or instructions included in, or attached to, the PO (the “Specifications”). Where applicable, the Products shall be identical to the samples or examples exchanged and agreed upon by the Parties. The Products will be of the best quality and materials and produced to the highest professional standards. 

5.      With respect to any part or component of the Products, where a standard has been set by the Israel Standards Institute or any other applicable local or international standard organization worldwide (a “Standard”), such component or part shall conform to the stipulations of the Standard, and shall be approved by an authorized laboratory in the applicable country of origin. LK reserves the right to conduct laboratory tests to verify conformity with the requirements of the standard. 

Packaging, Supply and Delivery of the Products

6.      Supplier shall comply with the quantities and delivery dates specified in the PO. Supplier may be allowed to bring forward or postpone the supply date, subject to the explicit, advanced, written agreement of LK. In the event of delay in supply, for whatever reason, LK shall have the right to refuse to accept the Products or any part thereof, without prejudice to any other right it may have under law. Where the supply date is brought forward without the aforementioned advanced agreement of LK, LK shall be entitled to return such Products at the expense of Supplier.   

7.      Unless the PO or the Special Terms provide otherwise, delivery of the Products shall be DDP LK’s designated location (as such term is defined in Incoterm 2010). 

8.      Packaging materials, the packaging of the Products, as well as the expenses incurred by the Supplier in the transport, unloading and delivery of the Products, or any other act undertaken up to the completion of this PO, shall be included in the price of the Products, unless otherwise stipulated in the Special Terms. 

LK’s Assets

9.      All materials (including any raw or processed materials), all equipment, tools, plans, moulds and settings, which LK from time to time provides Supplier and/or incurs the expense of their procurement for the purposes of pursuing the PO; all specifications, models, drawing or other technical know-how or directly or indirectly based on, related to, or resulting from the transactions contemplated by the PO or any LK Confidential Information (as defined below); and all Intellectual Property Rights in or related to the Products, as well as any modification, adaptation or derivation thereof (collectively, the “LK’s Assets”) are, shall be and shall remain the exclusive property of LK, and any other use of them for any other purpose shall be prohibited.

10.    Supplier shall neither have nor make any lien, pledge or other charge or any claim on LK’s Assets.

Confidentiality; Insider Trading

11.    Supplier hereby undertakes, during and following the lapse or termination of the term PO (for any reason), to keep confidential all know-how which forms a part of LK’s Assets, and any knowledge or other documents connected to the performance of this PO and/or to the business of LK, its products, technology, working methods and any other information furnished to it in connection with the performance of the PO (collectively, the “LK Confidential Information”).

14.    Notwithstanding any other rights it may have, LK shall be entitled to refuse to receive either all or part of the Products, if, in its view, they do not conform to the terms of the PO.
