Set-Off: If Vendor owes any amount to Wholesaler or an affiliate of Wholesaler, Wholesaler may subtract the amount owed by the Vendor to Wholesaler or Wholesaler’s affiliate from any amount Wholesaler owes to the Vendor, and Wholesaler is only obligated to pay Vendor the resulting reduced amount. These offsets include, but are not limited to, credits for returned merchandise or credits for damaged product.
  4.

The failure of Vendor to reasonably notify Wholesaler of the intention of Vendor to reject the products purchased under this Agreement within the time periods for such notice set forth above shall be deemed an acceptance of the products by Vendor. If Vendor elects to return the products to Wholesaler, Vendor shall bear the risk of loss and expense incurred in returning the products. The risk of loss, damage or casualty to, or any liability with respect to the products, regardless of the cause, shall remain with the Vendor until the products have been accepted by Wholesaler at Wholesaler’s specified destination.

  7. Taxes: Any and all taxes, fees, imports or stamps required by any law, ordinance, code, or regulations of any governmental entity having jurisdiction thereof by virtue of the sale, transport, or transmission of the merchandise delivered hereunder to Vendor, shall be paid by Vendor, including obligations incurred in connection with unemployment insurance or other social insurance or pensions, maintained pursuant to any laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. 
  8.

  10. Force Majeure: Wholesaler shall not be liable or responsible to Vendor, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent Wholesaler’s failure or delay is caused by or results from the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)”): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order, law, or action; (e) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) national or regional emergency; (g) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances; and (h) shortage of materials or shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities; and  any other acts beyond Wholesaler’s control.  A Force Majeure Event shall give Wholesaler the option to cancel, in whole or in part, and without liability, all undelivered orders or unfilled parts of orders or to extend the time of performance of such obligations. 
  11. Independent Contractor: Vendor shall at all times be and remain an independent contractor and not an agent of Wholesaler for any purpose whatsoever and shall have no authority to create or assume any obligations, expressed or implied, in the name of or on behalf of Wholesaler or to bind it in any manner whatsoever.
