The purchase order (the “Purchase Order”), together with these terms and conditions, and any attachments and exhibits, specifications, drawings, notes, instructions, and other information, whether physically attached or incorporated by reference (collectively, the “Agreement”) constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between Claroty Ltd., on behalf of itself and its affiliates (“Claroty”) and the supplier (the “Supplier”) identified in the Purchase Order. Claroty’s issuance of the Purchase Order is conditioned on Supplier’s agreement that any terms different from, or in addition to, the terms of the Agreement, whether communicated orally or contained in any purchase order confirmation, invoice, acknowledgement, release, acceptance, or other written correspondence, irrespective of the timing, shall not form a part of the Agreement, even if Supplier purports to condition its acceptance of the Purchase Order on Claroty’s agreement to such different or additional terms. Supplier’s electronic acceptance, acknowledgement of this Agreement, or commencement of performance constitutes Supplier’s acceptance of these terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a separate agreement (such as Master Agreement, Consulting Agreement, Services Agreement, etc.) covering procurement of the Work described in the Purchase Order exists between Supplier and Claroty, the terms of such agreement shall prevail over any inconsistent terms herein but shall be governed by all respects by the terms of this Agreement. In case of any contradiction between the Purchase Order and the other portions of the Agreement, the provisions of the Purchase Order shall prevail.
2.1. “Deliverables” means anything to be delivered and/or provided on or before the Delivery Date to Claroty as specified in the Purchase Order.
2.2. “Delivery Date” means the date or dates specified in the Purchase Order by which the Supplier is required to deliver the Work or any portion thereof.

2.4. “Intellectual Property Rights” means any and all tangible and intangible: (i) copyrights and other rights associated with works of authorship throughout the world, including but not limited to copyrights, neighbouring rights, moral rights, and mask works, and all derivative works thereof; (ii) trademark and trade name rights and similar rights; (iii) trade secret rights; (iv) patents, designs, algorithms, utility models, and other industrial property rights, and all improvements thereto; (v) all other intellectual and industrial property rights (of every kind and nature throughout the world and however designated) whether arising by operation of law, contract, license, or otherwise; and (vi) all registrations, applications, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions, or reissues thereof now or hereafter in force (including any rights in any of the foregoing).

3.1. Time is of the essence in Supplier’s performance of its obligations under the Purchase Order. Supplier will immediately notify Claroty if Supplier’s timely performance under the Purchase Order is delayed or is likely to be delayed. Claroty acceptance of Supplier’s notice will not constitute Claroty’s waiver of any of Supplier’s obligations.
3.2. If Supplier delivers Work after the Delivery Date, Claroty may reject such Work.
3.3. Claroty will hold any Work rejected under this Purchase Order at Supplier’s risk and expense, including storage charges, while awaiting Supplier’s return shipping instructions. Supplier will bear all return shipping charges, including without limitation, insurance charges Claroty incurs on Supplier’s behalf. Claroty may, in its sole discretion, destroy or sell at a public or private sale any rejected Work for which Claroty does not receive return shipping instructions within a reasonable time, and apply the proceeds, if any, first toward any storage charges.
3.4. Supplier will preserve, pack, package, and handle the Deliverables and Products so as to protect the Deliverables and Products from loss or damage and in accordance with best commercial practices in the absence of any specifications Claroty may provide. Without limiting the foregoing, Supplier shall observe the requirements of any local laws and regulations relating to hazardous work, including, without limitation, with respect to its accompanying information, packing, labelling, reporting, carriage, and disposal.

Seller assumes responsibility for all shipping and delivery charges including, without limitation, customs, duties, costs, taxes, and insurance. Risk of loss for the Deliverables and Products does not pass to Claroty until acceptance in accordance with Section 6 below.
4.1. Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, the price for the Work includes all taxes, including without limitation, sales, use, value added, import/export, customs, withholding taxes, fees, levies and other charges such as shipping and delivery charges, duties, customs, tariffs, imposts, and government imposed surcharges, all of which will be borne exclusively by the Supplier. In the event Claroty is required to pay any such taxes or duties, Supplier will promptly reimburse Claroty. Supplier will, at Claroty’s request, break-out from the price all such taxes and other charges, in its invoices. Supplier shall use its best efforts to assist Claroty in all legal efforts to minimize the taxes resulting from the performance of this Purchase Order. In the event that pursuant to any law or regulation, tax is required to be withheld from any payment made to the Supplier, Claroty shall withhold said tax at the rate set forth in the certification issued by the any applicable tax authority at the rate determined by said law or regulation.

Claroty’s receipt of a properly prepared invoice, which shall be submitted to Claroty’s approval not later than 120 days after the completion of the Services (the “Completion Date”). The Completion Date shall be agreed between the Supplier and Claroty in writing. A properly prepared invoice must include the Purchase Order number and, if required in the Purchase Order, Supplier’s certification of conformance of the Work to the requirements. Payment will be in the currency set forth in the Purchase Order. Claroty may, at any time, set-off any amounts Supplier owes Claroty against any amounts Claroty owes to Supplier or any of its affiliated companies.
5.1. Unless otherwise specified in a SOW and except as provided in Section 5.2, Claroty is the sole and exclusive owner of all Deliverables and Supplier hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to Claroty all of its worldwide right and title to, and interest in, the Deliverables, including all associated Intellectual Property Rights.
5.2. Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, each party owns all right, title, and interest in and to any of its Pre-existing Materials. Supplier hereby grants Claroty a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, with the right to sublicense and authorize the granting of sublicenses, to use and reproduce Supplier’s Pre-existing Materials in the Deliverables to the extent necessary for Claroty’s exercise and use of its rights in the Deliverables.
5.3. Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, Supplier will obtain and assign to Claroty a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable license to use all Third Party Intellectual Property Rights incorporated into, required to use, or delivered with the Work. Supplier will deliver copies of the above releases and licenses to Claroty upon Claroty’s request.
5.4. The Supplier shall not use any open source code in any Works included in the Deliverables without first obtaining Claroty’s written approval, at Claroty’s sole discretion. Any such approval shall clearly state the Open Source Code used, the applicable open source license and the application thereof within the Works.
Claroty may reject any or all of the Work which does not conform to the applicable requirements within ten (10) business days of Supplier’s delivery of the Work. At Claroty’s option, Claroty may (i) return the nonconforming Work to Supplier for a refund or credit, (ii) require Supplier to replace the non-conforming Work, or (iii) repair the non-conforming Work so that it meets the requirements. As an alternative to (i) through (iii), Claroty may accept the non-conforming Work conditioned on Supplier providing a refund or credit in an amount Claroty reasonably determines to represent the diminished value of the non-conforming Work. Claroty’s payment to Supplier for Work prior to Claroty’s timely rejection of such Work as nonconforming will not be deemed as acceptance by Claroty.
7.1. As used in this Section 7, “Change” means a change Claroty directs or causes within the general scope of this Agreement, the applicable Purchase Order, or both. Without derogation from the generality of the foregoing, Claroty may increase, reduce, cancel any portion or the entire quantity covered by the Purchase Order.
7.2. Claroty, by written order (“Change Order”), may make Changes in accordance with this Section 7.
7.3.

Claroty will evaluate Supplier’s notice of Change in good faith, and if Claroty agrees that it has made a constructive change, Claroty will issue a Change Order to Supplier.
7.4. Supplier shall, as promptly as practicable, after giving the notice of the Change, or within ten (10) days of receiving a Change Order, submit a request for equitable adjustment specifying the adjustment in the price or time for performance resulting from the Change.
7.5. The parties shall negotiate an amendment to the applicable SOW to incorporate a Change Order providing for an equitable adjustment to the price, time for performance, or both.
7.6. Supplier will proceed with the Changed Work as directed, notwithstanding that the parties have not negotiated the amendment to this Agreement or the applicable Purchase Order to incorporate the equitable adjustment.
7.7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Claroty may reduce the quantities by up to forty percent (40%) of the ordered quantities without an increase in the unit price.

Supplier will not disclose to Claroty, bring onto Claroty’s premises, or induce Claroty to use any confidential or proprietary information that belongs to anyone other than Claroty or Supplier which is not covered by a nondisclosure agreement between Claroty and Supplier; 8.1.5. Software supplied by Supplier does not contain any Harmful Code; 8.1.6. Supplier’s Work conforms to Claroty’s specifications, Supplier’s quotation or proposal, and Supplier’s brochures or catalogues, and if none of the foregoing is applicable, then such Work is suitable for the intended use;
8.2. Claroty warrants and represents to Supplier that it has the full power to enter into the Purchase Order and the Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Purchase Order and the Agreement.
8.3. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO OTHER WARRANTIES ARE MADE, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
9.1. Supplier may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under the Purchase Order without Claroty’s prior written consent, which Claroty will not unreasonably withhold. Claroty may, at its option, void any attempted assignment or delegation undertaken without Claroty’s prior written consent.

If Supplier fails to timely pay a Subcontractor for work performed, Claroty will have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the Subcontractor and offset any amount due to Supplier by any amount paid to the Subcontractor. Supplier will defend, indemnify, and hold Claroty harmless for all damages and costs of any kind, without limitation, incurred by Claroty and caused by Supplier’s failure to pay a Subcontractor.

Upon receipt of notice of such termination, Supplier will inform Claroty of the extent to which it has completed performance as of the date of the notice, and Supplier will collect and deliver to Claroty whatever Work then exists. Claroty will pay Supplier for all Work performed and accepted through the effective date of the termination, provided that Claroty will not be obligated to pay any more than the payment that would have become due had Supplier completed and Claroty had accepted the Work. Claroty will have no further payment obligation in connection with any termination.

Either party may terminate a Purchase Order, immediately, by delivering written notice to the other party for any material breach not cured within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of the breach.

10.6. Any obligations or duties which, by their nature, extend beyond the expiration or termination of the Purchase Order shall survive the expiration or termination of the Purchase Order.
11.1. If Claroty and Supplier have entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”) which covers disclosure of confidential information under the Purchase Order, and if the term of the NDA expires before the expiration or termination of the Purchase Order, then the term of the NDA shall be automatically extended to match the term of the Purchase Order.
11.2. The parties shall treat the terms, conditions, and existence of the Purchase Order as Confidential Information as defined in the NDA.
11.3. Supplier shall obtain Claroty’s written consent prior to any publication, presentation, public announcement, or press release concerning its relationship as a supplier to Claroty.

As used in this Section 12, a “Claim” is any claim, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including professional fees and costs as incurred) for which one party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may be obligated to defend, indemnify, and hold the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) harmless.
12.2. Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold Claroty harmless from and against any and all Claims as incurred, arising out of or in connection with any (i) act or omission of Supplier (including its Subcontractors) in the performance of the Work; or (ii) any infringement of a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights or any other rights.
12.3. Each party will indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all Claims, as incurred, arising out of any gross negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party which results in personal injury (including death) or damage to tangible property (not including lost or damaged data).
12.4.

12.5. If a third party enjoins or interferes with Claroty’s use of any Work, then in addition to Supplier’s obligations under Section 12.2, Supplier will use its best efforts to (i) obtain any licenses necessary to permit Claroty to continue to use the Work, (ii) replace or modify the Work as necessary to permit Claroty to continue to use of the Work, or if (i) and (ii) are not commercially reasonable, then (iii) promptly refund to Claroty the amount paid for any Work for which a third party enjoins or interferes with Claroty’s use of the Work.
12.6. Nothing in this Section 12 or elsewhere in the Purchase Order and/or Agreement shall limit any other remedy of the parties.
13.1. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THE PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHERWISE, CLAROTY WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO SUPPLIER WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE PURCHASE ORDER UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS IN THE AMOUNT CLAROTY PAID TO SUPPLIER IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
13.2. IN NO EVENT WILL CLAROTY BE LIABLE TO SUPPLIER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PROFITS ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE PURCHASE ORDER, WHETHER OR NOT CLAROTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
13.3. THE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN. NOTHING IN THE PURCHASE ORDER LIMITS EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR BODILY INJURY OF A PERSON, DEATH OR ANY LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
Supplier will secure and maintain insurance providing coverage for liabilities to third parties for bodily injury (personal injury) and damage to property in amounts sufficient to protect Claroty in the event of such injury or damage, and will be in compliance with any and all laws, regulations, or orders addressing the liabilities of an employer to its employees for injuries and disease suffered in connection with employment. Supplier further will maintain such additional types and limits of insurance as is customary for a company of similar size and similar operations to Supplier in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which Supplier’s operations take place.
Supplier represents and warrants that it will comply with all applicable local and national laws and regulations pertaining to its performance of its obligations under this Purchase Order. In particular and without limitation, Supplier shall not act in any fashion or take any action that will render Claroty liable for a violation of any applicable anti-bribery legislation (including without limitation, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010), which prohibits the offering, giving, or promising to offer or give, or receiving, directly or indirectly, money or anything of value to any third party to assist it or Claroty in retaining or obtaining business or in performing the Work. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that Supplier is a US federal contractor or covered subcontractor as contemplated in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, then Supplier agrees that this Purchase Order will be subject to the requirements of 41 CFR 60-1.4 and 29 CFR part 471, Appendix A to Subpart A, and the requirements of 41 CFR 60-300.5(a) and 41 CFR 60-741.5(a), which are incorporated herein by reference. The latter two regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals on the basis of protected veteran status and disability and require affirmative action to employ and advance in employment protected veterans and qualified individuals with disabilities. Supplier’s failure to comply with this provision shall constitute a material breach of this Purchase Order.
The Purchase Order will be construed in accordance with, and all disputes will be governed by, the laws of the State of New-York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The parties specifically waive application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Supplier irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the Southern District of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, NYC and for, and irrevocably waives any claim it may have that any proceedings brought in such courts have been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, WAIVES ITS/HIS/HER RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
17.1. Any notice to be given under the Purchase Order will be in writing and addressed to the party at the address stated in the front of the Purchase Order. Notices will be deemed given and effective (i) if personally delivered, upon delivery; (ii) if sent by an overnight service with tracking capabilities, upon receipt; (iii) if sent by electronic mail, at such time as the party which sent the notice receives confirmation of receipt by the applicable method of transmittal; or (iv) if sent by certified or registered mail, within five (5) days of deposit in the mail.
17.2. If any court of competent jurisdiction holds that any provision of the Purchase Order is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Purchase Order will not be affected or impaired, and all remaining terms of this Purchase Order remain in full force and effect, provided that this provision shall not be applied to defeat the intent of the parties.
17.3. A party’s election not to insist on strict performance of any requirement of the Purchase Order will not operate or be construed to waive any future omission or breach, or any other provision of the Purchase Order.
