Any general terms and conditions of Seller are hereby expressly rejected by MTG and excluded. Notwithstanding any language contained in any document of Seller stating the language of such document, or any other document referenced therein supersedes any other language, if Seller chooses to accept an Order, Seller specifically acknowledges and agrees these Purchase Terms control. Any proposal, confirmation, or any other writing of whatever kind inconsistent with or in addition to the terms of the Order and these Purchase Terms shall not be binding upon MTG. MTG’s acceptance of, or payment for, Goods and/or Services will not constitute acknowledgement or acceptance of Seller’s conditions of sale. 

2. Order of Precedence. The provisions of any Order and these Purchase Terms will be read, to the extent possible, to be consistent. If a provision in an Order directly conflicts with a provision in these Purchase Terms, the provision in these Purchase Terms will prevail unless either (i) the provision of the Order specifies characteristics, quantities, prices, delivery times or other similar commercial terms for Goods and/or Services to be provided under that Order, or (ii) the Order specifically states that the provision in the Order will prevail.
3. Acceptance. An Order shall be deemed accepted by Seller upon the earliest of (i) Seller issuing an electronic confirmation or written acceptance of the Order, (ii) Seller’s commencement of work on the Goods and/or Services subject to the applicable Order, or (iii) shipment of the Goods and/or delivery of the Services subject to the applicable Order.
4. Changes. MTG shall have the right at any time to make changes in drawings, designs, specifications, payment methods, materials, packaging, time and place of delivery, and method of transportation. If any such changes cause an increase or decrease in the cost or the time required for performance of an Order, an equitable adjustment will be made and the applicable Order shall be modified in writing accordingly. Seller agrees to accept any such changes to any Order or decline such changes promptly in writing.
5. References to Laws. A reference to any law, rule, or regulation is a reference to it as it is in force for the time being taking account of any amendment, extension, application or re-enactment and includes any subordinate legislation for the time being in force made under it.

1. Termination for Convenience. MTG reserves the right to terminate any Order for convenience, in whole or in part, 

at any time. Upon notification by MTG, Seller shall immediately stop all work and shall immediately cause any of its suppliers and/or subcontractors to cease such work. Seller shall be paid a reasonable termination charge consisting of a percentage of the applicable Order price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus actual direct costs resulting from termination. Seller shall not be paid for any work done after receipt of the notice of termination, or for any costs incurred by Seller’s suppliers and/or subcontractors which Seller reasonably could have avoided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller be entitled to an amount greater than what MTG would have paid absent the termination. 

2. Termination for Cause. MTG may terminate any Order, in whole or in part, in the event of (i) any default by Seller, (ii) Seller’s failure to comply with these Purchase Terms, or (iii) Seller’s failure to comply with any specific terms and conditions contained in an applicable Order. Late deliveries, deliveries of Non-Conforming Goods and/or performance of non-conforming Services, and/or failure to provide MTG, upon request, reasonable assurances of future performance, shall all be bases for MTG’s right to termination for cause. In the event MTG terminates an Order for cause, MTG shall not be liable to Seller for any amount, and Seller shall be liable to MTG for any and all damages sustained by reason of Seller’s default which gave rise to the termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, MTG shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume and control the defense and/or settlement of such claim, and Seller shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim and provide such assistance and information as is reasonably necessary for defense of such claim.

9. FORCE MAJEURE 

Neither party shall be liable to the other for its failure to comply with the terms of an Order if such failure shall have been caused by any unforeseeable incident beyond the control of the non-performing party, including but not limited to fire, labor dispute, strike, war, insurrection, governmental restriction, or act of God; provided, that, it shall be the responsibility of each party to take all reasonable measures to eliminate such cause and recommence performance as quickly as possible; and further provided, it shall be the obligation of the party claiming a force majeure event for excuse of non-performance to notify the other party in writing as soon as practicable. In the event Seller claims inability to perform due to an act of force majeure, MTG shall have the right to secure an alternate source of supply and Seller shall reimburse MTG for any additional reasonable expense incurred by MTG. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the inability of Seller to perform continues for a period greater than thirty (30) days from written notice to MTG, MTG shall have the option of terminating the Order immediately without any liability for Goods not yet shipped or Services not yet performed. Whenever Seller has knowledge of any occurrence (or potential occurrence) which may delay, stop or in any way disrupt production or shipment of the Goods and/or Services under an Order, Seller shall promptly notify MTG of said occurrence or potential occurrence. 

1. CONFIDENTIALITY
Subject to the terms of any confidentiality agreement with MTG, Seller shall consider the information related to any Order and all information furnished by MTG, including but not limited to any drawings, specifications, and/or other documentation prepared by Seller for MTG in connection with any Order, to be confidential (collectively the “Confidential Information”) and shall not disclose any such Confidential Information to any other person or entity, or use such Confidential Information itself for any purpose other than performing the applicable Order unless Seller obtains written permission from MTG to do so. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no commercial, financial or technical information disclosed in any manner or at any time by Seller to MTG shall be deemed secret or confidential. Seller’s confidentiality obligations pursuant to this Section 10, as applicable will survive (i) perpetually for trade secrets and personally identifiable information and (ii) for a period of five (5) years from the date of MTG’s disclosure for all other Confidential Information.

1. RECORDS AND INSPECTION RIGHTS 

At all times Seller shall maintain accurate books and records containing information regarding the raw materials, production, storage, sale, shipment, pricing of and payment of any Goods and/or Services purchased under an Order. These books and records shall be kept in accordance with all legal requirements, industry practice and generally accepted accounting principles, as applicable, and preserved for not less than three (3) years after creation. MTG and its agents and representatives have the right, but not the obligation, to examine the books and records of Seller for the purpose of verifying Seller’s compliance with its obligations under these Purchase Terms and any Order. Any such examination shall be during business hours in Seller’s principal offices, the facility where the Goods and/or Services were produced, or such other location or method as MTG may reasonably request. Seller shall cooperate with MTG’s examination, which cooperation shall include making Seller’s officers available for discussion of Seller’s books, records and compliance with these Purchase Terms and any Order. The examination shall be at MTG’s expense, provided that, in the event Seller has failed to perform its obligations under these Purchase Terms, any applicable Order, or laws, the expense of examination plus other damages incurred by MTG shall be paid by Seller. MTG also has the right, but not the obligation, to inspect any facility where the subject Goods are produced or stored or Services rendered for the purpose of verifying compliance of such facilities with applicable law, compliance with these Purchase Terms and any Order, and compliance with MTG’s food safety, quality and other manufacturing and storage standards, practices and procedures. Seller will provide copies of such books and records as MTG may reasonably request, provided that MTG agrees to maintain any information contained in such books and records which is confidential and proprietary information of Seller in the same manner that MTG maintains its own confidential and proprietary information. MTG will not use any such confidential and proprietary information of Seller except as contemplated by these Purchase Terms. 

2. APPLICABLE LAW – JURISDICTION
1. Applicable Law. These Purchase Terms and every Order will be governed by and construed in accordance with the 

applicable laws of Ohio, without giving effect to the principles of Ohio relating to conflicts of laws. MTG and Seller agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall be specifically excluded from application to any Order. 

2. Jurisdiction/Venue. Each party irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding brought by it in any way arising out of these Purchase Terms or any Order must be brought solely and exclusively in, and will be subject to the service of process and other applicable procedural rules of, the state courts of Summit County, Ohio or the Federal courts located in the Northern District of Ohio (collectively, the “Ohio Courts”). Each party irrevocably submits to the sole and exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Ohio Courts, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any action, suit or proceeding brought by it or against it by the other party, and waives any defense that a legal action, suit or proceeding brought in the Ohio Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for equitable relief may be brought in any court with proper jurisdiction within the United States. 

3. LIMITATION ON MTG’S LIABILITY – STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS 

In no event shall MTG be liable to Seller for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, special, or exemplary damages or penalties of any description, regardless of the form of the action or the theory of recovery, even if MTG has been advised of the possibility of those damages. MTG’s liability on any claim of any kind for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with or resulting from any Order, or from the performance or breach thereof, shall in no case exceed the price allocable to the Goods and/or Services which gives rise to the claim. Any action resulting from any breach on the part of MTG as to the Goods and/or Services purchased under any Order must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued. This Section 13 is not intended to limit or exclude MTG’s liability for any matter for which liability cannot be limited or excluded by law. 

4. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 

SELLER AND MTG IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-COMPLAINT IN ANY ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE OTHER WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED TO ANY ORDER OR ANY PORTION OF ANY AGREEMENT WHICH IS RELATED TO ANY ORDER, WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACTUAL, STATUTORY, TORTIOUS OR OTHER THEORIES OF LIABILITY.

1. Assignment. Seller may not assign any rights or delegate any obligations under these Purchase Terms or any Order without the prior written consent of MTG. 

2. Subcontractors. Seller will not subcontract any of its obligations without obtaining MTG’s prior written approval. Notwithstanding any approval by MTG, Seller will remain solely responsible for all of its obligations and will be liable for any subcontractor’s failure to perform or abide by the provisions of these Purchase Terms or any Order.
3. No Liens. Seller shall promptly discharge any mechanic’s or materialman’s liens, retention rights, security rights or any security interests arising in connection with any Order at Seller’s sole cost and expense.
4. Independent Contractors. The parties will at all times be independent contractors. Neither party will have any right,
   power or authority to enter into any agreement for or on behalf of, or to assume or incur any obligation or liabilities, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of, the other party. 
5. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies reserved by MTG in these Purchase Terms will be cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. Any rights of MTG not expressly granted herein are reserved by MTG.
6. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event of any adversarial proceeding(s) between the parties arising out of any Order, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to any other relief awarded, all reasonable expenses the prevailing party incurs in such proceeding(s), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs. For purposes of this section, “prevailing party” means: (i) in the case of the party initiating the enforcement of its rights or remedies, that such party recovered substantially all of its claims, and (ii) in the case of the party defending against such enforcement, that it successfully defended substantially all of the claims brought against such part. If no party is a “prevailing party” within the meaning of this section, then no party will be entitled to recover its costs and expenses from any other party.
7. Severability. If any provision of these Purchase Terms conflicts with the law under which these Purchase Terms are to be construed or is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law.
8. Publicity. Seller will not, without MTG’s prior written consent, (i) use the name, trademark, service mark, trade dress, logo or other identifying marks of MTG in any sales, marketing or publicity activities or materials, and/or (ii) issue any public statement regarding its relationship with MTG.
9. Waivers. The failure of MTG to enforce strict performance by Seller of any provision of these Purchase Terms or to exercise any right under these Purchase Terms will not be construed as a waiver to any extent of MTG’s right to assert or rely upon any provision of these Purchase Terms. A delay or omission by MTG to exercise any right or power under these Purchase Terms will not be construed to be a waiver of that right or power. MTG’s waiver of one breach will not be construed to waive any succeeding breach. All waivers must be in writing and manually signed by MTG.
10. Survival. The provisions of these Purchase Terms and any Order that expressly or by their nature contemplate performance or observance after the Order terminates or expires will survive and continue in full force and effect. Without excluding any other provisions of these Purchase Terms and any Order, the terms of Sections 6, 7, and 10 shall survive the termination or expiration of any Order.
11. Notices. All notices must be in writing and will be deemed given only when (i) hand delivered, (ii) one business day following the day sent by documented overnight delivery service to the party whom the notice is directed at its address indicated in the applicable Order or otherwise provided in writing, or (iii) sent by electronic mail to the party whom notice is directed at the electronic mail address specified in the applicable Order or otherwise provided in writing, provided, that if notice is provided to MTG under subsection (iii) herein, written confirmation of such notice shall also be provided to MTG as described in subsection (i) or (ii).
12. Entire Agreement. These Purchase Terms and the applicable Order collectively constitute the entire agreement of the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event MTG and Seller have an existing written agreement signed by an authorized signatory of MTG and Seller encompassing the Goods and/or Services purchased in the Order, these Purchase Terms shall remain in full force and effect to the extent they do not conflict with the terms of such written agreement.
