In the event Seller is required to re-design, repair or replace any Molds, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all such costs, including tooling and re-tooling costs. Buyer acknowledges that such Molds will be based on technical information and drawings provided by Buyer to Seller, and Buyer agrees not to assert any claim against Seller with respect to any such technical information or drawings Buyer may have disclosed to Seller. Seller shall comply with all specifications, drawings, quality requirements and procedures specified by Buyer, but once Buyer has agreed in writing to the design for a Mold, Buyer shall be solely responsible for the proper form, fit and function of the products manufactured using the Mold.

In the event Buyer provides Molds to Seller, Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for any loss or damage to such Molds during transportation from Buyer to Seller or during Seller’s possession and control of such Molds, unless such loss or damage is due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its employees.

Buyer shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, promptly arrange for removal of the Molds from Seller’s facility after the last production run using such Molds, provided Buyer has fully paid for such Molds and re-tooling costs, if any. In the event Buyer fails to do so within 18 months after the last production run using such Molds, Seller shall have the right to dispose of such Molds without further notice to Buyer and Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for the Molds or the disposal thereof.
