17. INDEMNIFICATION.

17.1 Indemnity. Vendor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its Affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, parents, and other vendors, from and against Claims arising from or related to: (i) the Services, Goods, Vendor Items, or Work Product; (ii) Vendor’s failure to meet the representations and warranties set forth herein; (iii) Vendor’s breach of any terms or conditions; (iv) violation of any patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property or proprietary right due to Vendor's provision of the Services, Goods, Vendor Items, or Work Product; or (iv) bodily injury, death, personal injury, property damage and loss of use, resulting from the acts or omissions of Vendor, Vendor's Personnel, or any person for whom Vendor is legally liable.

17.2 Procedures and Rights. Company shall promptly notify Vendor of a Claim. However, the failure to provide notice shall not relieve Vendor of its obligations under this Section unless the defense of the Claim is materially prejudiced thereby. Vendor shall assume defense of the Claim by representatives chosen by the Company. Company shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Claim and employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the defense of the Claim, subject to the Vendor retaining final authority and control over the conduct of the defense. Following Company’s prior written consent, Vendor has the right to settle the Claim to the extent such settlement affects the rights or obligations of the Company. Company shall provide the Vendor with reasonable assistance, at Vendor’s expense, as may be necessary to facilitate the defense. 

17.3 Failure to Defend. If Vendor fails to assume the defense within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of a Claim the Company may, at the Vendor’s expense: (i) assume the defense; and (ii) may, with Vendor’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle the Claim on behalf of the Vendor. The Vendor may assume the defense of the Claim at any time provided the defense is not materially prejudiced thereby.

17.4 Pending Claims. If Services, Goods, Vendor Items, or Work Product become, or in either party's reasonable opinion are likely to become, the subject of a Claim, Vendor shall procure for Company the right to continue to exercise all of its rights in the Services, Goods, Vendor Items, and Work Product as contemplated under these terms and conditions, or, with Company's prior written consent, modify or replace the Services, Goods, Vendor Items, and Work Product to eliminate any Claim, provided that the modification or replacement is functionally equivalent. If Vendor cannot do any of the foregoing, Company may terminate Vendor’s performance, as to the violating Services, Goods, Vendor Items, and Work Product and Vendor shall refund to Company all fees paid for the applicable Services, Goods, Vendor Items, and Work Product. Under no circumstances shall any pending claim or dispute excuse Vendor from proceeding with its performance hereunder.

18. MISCELLANEOUS.

18.1 Order of Precedence. Unless the parties have executed a Master Supply and Services Agreement, these terms and conditions exclusively govern and control the Parties’ respective rights and obligations regarding the purchase and sale of Services and Goods. Any additional, contrary, or different terms contained in any of Vendor's confirmations, invoices, proposals, quotes, or other communication or document, and any other attempt to modify, supersede, supplement, or otherwise alter these terms and conditions, are deemed rejected by Company and will not modify these terms and conditions or be binding on the Parties unless such terms have been fully approved in a signed writing by authorized representatives of both Parties.

18.2 Independent Vendor; Subcontracting. The relationship of the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing in these terms and conditions will be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship, and neither party will have authority to contract for or bind the other party. Each party is exclusively responsible for all obligations imposed upon employers by any applicable laws or regulation related to its respective personnel hereunder.

18.3 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in Vendor's performance of its obligations hereunder. Vendor shall perform its obligations at its own risk and correct any deficiencies at its sole expense.

18.4 Right to Set-off. Company may at any time and without notice deduct or set-off from amounts due to Vendor' any claims that Company has or may have arising out of any other transaction between Company and Vendor.

18.5 Notice. “Notice” means written notice, except where specifically provided herein to the contrary. Notice shall be delivered to the address on the purchase order by: (i) certified mail, return receipt requested (or the equivalent); (ii) hand delivery with receipt acknowledged; (iii) overnight courier service that provides a delivery receipt; or (iv) transmitted by email. Notice given in accordance with this provision shall be deemed delivered: (x) when received; or (y) upon refusal of receipt. Copy of such Notice to Company shall be provided to Sargento Foods Inc., Attn: General Counsel, One Persnickety Place, Plymouth, WI 53073.

18.6 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be considered in default hereunder to the extent that such performance is delayed by a Force Majeure Event. A “Force Majeure Event” means the following: (i) acts of civil or military authority, acts of war, acts of terrorism; (ii) unforeseeable acts of blockage, embargoes or similar acts of governmental authorities; (iii) riot, insurrection, sabotage, epidemics; and (iv) severe weather events resulting in damage to Vendor which Vendor would be unable to prevent using reasonable precautions. For the avoidance of doubt, changes in economic circumstances, increases in costs, strikes, labor disputes, and default of Sub-vendors shall not qualify as a Force Majeure Event. No such interruption shall relieve Vendor of its duty to perform or give rise to any damages or additional compensation from Company. The party failing or delaying due to a Force Majeure Event agrees to give notice to the other party describing such Force Majeure Event including a good faith estimate as to the impact of such Force Majeure Event upon its responsibilities hereunder, including, but not limited to, any scheduling changes. However, should any failure to perform or delay in performance due to a Force Majeure Event last longer than thirty (30) days, or should two (2) events apply to the performance of a party during any calendar year, the party not subject to the Force Majeure Event shall be entitled to terminate performance upon written notice to the other party. 

18.7 Severability; Conflicts. If any part of these terms and conditions is held to be unenforceable (i) the unenforceable portion must be construed as nearly as possible to reflect the original intent of the parties; (ii) the remainder of these terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect; and (iii) the unenforceable portion shall remain enforceable in all other contexts and jurisdictions. In the event of a conflict, these terms and conditions shall control over any exhibits, addendums, purchase orders, proposals, quotations, or other document unless the relevant document, signed by both parties, expressly states that the these terms and conditions are modified for the relevant transaction.

18.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as may arise regarding indemnification obligations, no third-party is a beneficiary of these terms and conditions.

18.9 Non-solicitation. Neither party shall directly recruit or hire or attempt to directly recruit or hire current employee(s) of the other party with whom it has had direct contact as a result of the Services and for one (1) year after the termination thereof, without the other party’s prior written consent. However, this provision shall not restrict general advertisements of employment not specifically directed at any current employee(s) of the other party.

18.10 Governing Law; Construction. These terms and conditions shall be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction and effect by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, excluding its choice of law provisions. The sole jurisdiction and venue for any litigation arising out of these terms and conditions shall be an appropriate federal or state court located in the State of Wisconsin, and the parties agree not to raise, and waive, any objections or defenses based upon venue or forum non conveniens. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application hereunder. Singular terms shall be construed as plural, and vice versa, where the context requires, and the headings or titles of the Sections or Subsections of these terms and conditions are for convenience only and shall not be used as an aid in construction of any provision hereof.

18.11 Dispute Resolution. Prior to initiating any litigation, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve promptly any dispute by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy. However, this limitation is inapplicable to a party if the other party refuses to comply with the requirements of this Section. Company shall have the sole discretion to determine whether Vendor shall continue to provide Services or Goods during an ongoing dispute.

18.12 Remedies. Except where specifically stated to the contrary, all remedies available to Company for breach of these terms and conditions, or at law or in equity, are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed an election of such remedy to the exclusion of other remedies. The failure of Company at any time to require performance by Vendor of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance thereafter, nor shall the waiver of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or as a waiver of the provision itself. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that a breach, or threat of breach, would cause the other party irreparable harm, a remedy at law alone would be inadequate, and the other party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive relief without any requirement to post a bond or other security. The prevailing party in any litigation related to these terms and conditions shall receive from the other party all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in such litigation.

18.13 Non-publicity. Vendor agrees to not make, publish or distribute (whether in print, electronically or otherwise) any public announcements, press releases, advertising, marketing materials or promotional materials regarding the execution or performance under these terms and conditions without prior written consent from an authorized officer of the Company.

18.14 Assignment. Vendor’s obligations hereunder are not assignable, delegable, sub-licensable, or otherwise transferable by Vendor in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of Company. Any such assignment, delegation, sublicense or other transfer will be null, void, and invalid, and the purported transferee will not acquire any rights nor assume any duties hereunder.

If SARGENTO accepts Vendor’s proposal and elects to implement the changes, the Equipment specifications shall be deemed amended thereby and the parties shall perform with respect to such Equipment as provided in these terms and conditions.
