Terms & Conditions
Definitions
These Terms and Conditions apply to RoosterBio Inc, as the case may be, herein referred to as “Seller” and to all products ordered from RoosterBio Inc.
Pricing and Terms
Visa® and MasterCard® credit cards are accepted. Prices are subject to change. Conditions are subject to change without notice. The price applicable to any order accepted by Seller shall be the price in effect on the date of shipment. Payment is due within 30 days following the invoice date. All claims by purchaser shall be made by written notice to Seller in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and no offset or deduction from any invoice is permitted. Acceptance by Seller of bank draft, check, or other media of payment is subject to immediate collection of the full face amount thereof.
If at any time the financial responsibility of purchaser, or the credit risk involved, shall become unsatisfactory to Seller, Seller may require cash or satisfactory security prior to subsequent shipments or deliveries hereunder. The election by Seller to require such cash or security shall not affect the obligation of purchaser to take and pay for the contracted materials. Purchaser agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Seller in the collection of any sum payable by purchaser to Seller.
If purchaser breaches any term of the Terms and Conditions or any other contractual obligation in favor of Seller, (a) Seller may choose to defer any or all further shipments or other performance of any other contractual obligation in favor of purchaser until purchaser cures its breach, and (b) Seller may, by delivery of written notice to purchaser describing the breach, immediately terminate any other contractual obligation to purchaser; provided that purchaser shall have ten (10) days after receipt of the written notice to reinstate any terminated contractual obligations by curing the breach. In the event of a termination, all outstanding payment obligations or other indebtedness of purchaser to Seller shall be due and payable no later than fifteen (15) days after delivery of notice of termination, subject to the right of reinstatement.
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms and Conditions, Seller shall have no obligation to pay any rebate, issue any credit or make any other payment of any kind to purchaser unless purchaser is fully in compliance with its payment and other obligations under the purchase and any other contractual obligation in favor of Seller. In addition, in the event that purchaser fails to make any payment when due, Seller shall have the right to offset any and all outstanding payment obligations or other indebtedness of purchaser to Seller against any outstanding payment obligations or other indebtedness that Seller or any of its affiliates may owe purchaser.
Pricing and Terms
In addition to the purchase price, purchaser shall pay Seller any and all governmental sales taxes of every kind that Seller may be required to pay with respect to the products. Purchaser shall provide Seller, on request, with properly completed exemption certificates for any tax from which purchaser claims exemption.
Seller and its assigns shall have the right to assign any right to receive payment under this contract to any person without the prior consent of purchaser.
Shipping
All orders are shipped via Seller’s recommended carriers unless an alternative agreement has been arranged with the purchaser. Applicable freight and handling charges will be added to purchaser’s invoice. Refrigerated shipments will be charged a nominal fee.

Product Label
Please read the product label carefully for safety information and warnings related to product hazards. Some products may present flammable, toxic, or other hazards. More information regarding certain products can be obtained by reading the MSDS, available on request. The absence of a warning must not be construed as an indication that the product is safe. All possible hazards may not be known at this time. Some of our products may contain materials of animal or human origin. Products should only be handled and used by qualified personnel familiar with the potential hazards and trained in laboratory procedures. The purchaser assumes all risks of use and/or handling.
Product Use
In general, all products listed in this catalog are “For Research Use Only.” Such products are not to be used for diagnostic or drug purposes, or for administration to humans.
All products labeled “For Research Use Only” are intended for research purposes only and the purchaser has no rights to transfer the products, components, or materials made using these products, or use these products for Commercial Purposes.
No Reverse Engineering
Purchaser shall not, and shall not authorize, assist, or permit any third party to, reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the composition, formulation, genetic sequence, manufacturing process, or other underlying technology of any product supplied by Seller, whether by chemical, biological, structural, or other analysis. Purchaser further shall not use any product supplied by Seller, or any information derived therefrom in violation of the foregoing, to develop, manufacture, or have manufactured on its behalf any product that is the same as, substantially similar to, or a functional equivalent or derivative of, such product. This restriction shall survive expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions.
Force Majeure
Failure of Seller to make, or purchaser to take, any one or more deliveries when due, if caused by (a) fire, storm, flood, strike, lockout, accident, act of war or terrorism, riot, civil commotion, embargo or similar circumstances, (b) any regulation, law, or restriction of any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, court, or other instrumentality of any supranational organization of sovereign states, country, state, province, territory, commonwealth, municipality, or other political subdivision thereof (a “Governmental Authority”), any seizure or requisition of product by any Governmental Authority, or any compliance with a demand or request for such product for purposes of national or supranational defense, (c) inability of Seller to obtain any required raw material, energy source, equipment, labor or transportation, at prices and on terms deemed (by Seller) to be practicable, from Seller’s usual sources of supply, or (d) any other cause or contingency beyond the reasonable control of that party (whether or not of the same kind or nature as the causes or contingencies above enumerated), shall not subject the party failing to perform to any liability to the other during the period such inability to make or take delivery shall exist. Quantities so affected may, at the option of either party, be eliminated from the purchase without liability, but the Terms and Conditions shall remain otherwise unaffected.
In the event of Seller’s inability, for any reason, to supply the quantities of product contemplated by the purchase, Seller may allocate its available supply among its purchasers, including departments and divisions of Seller, on such basis as Seller may deem fair and practical without liability to purchaser for any failure of performance that may result therefrom.
Indemnification
Seller will make available to purchaser a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each product delivered to purchaser where required. The MSDS sets forth information concerning such product and describes precautions, if required, to be taken in the transportation, delivery, unloading, discharge, storage, handling and use of such product. Purchaser will familiarize itself with all information and precautions, including but not limited to such related to safety and health, contained in MSDSs or otherwise transmitted to purchaser by Seller at any time. Seller will instruct its employees, agents, contractors, customers or any third party which may be exposed to the product about such information and precautions and make available copies thereof to such parties. Purchaser assumes full liability and responsibility for compliance with the above-referenced information and precautions, and with all laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations of any Governmental Authority applicable to the processing, transportation, delivery, unloading, discharge, storage, handling, sale and use of each product including, without limitation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and United States export control laws; in particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, purchaser shall not resell or ship to persons on the Denied Parties List or located within embargoed countries (in both cases as defined under the referenced export control laws). Purchaser further agrees to protect, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), penalties, and judgments (each, a “Claim”) associated with the processing, transportation, delivery, unloading, discharge, storage, handling, sale or use of any product after delivery which is (i) inconsistent with any information provided to purchaser or (ii) in violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Authority. Seller assumes no liability for failure of discharge or unloading implements or materials used by purchaser whether or not supplied by Seller.
Since Seller has no control over purchaser’s (or others’) use, disposition, subsequent processing, admixing or reaction of Seller’s products with other products, chemicals or materials, purchaser assumes the entire liability and responsibility therefor and agrees to protect, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against all Claims associated therewith including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Claims associated with infringement of any third party’s intellectual property rights, patents on processes practiced by purchaser or patents on products made by purchaser.
