  1. PRICING AND PAYMENT.
    Vendor’s pricing is reflected on the Purchaser Order (including shipping) and may not be increased without Atria’s prior written consent. Atria shall make payment within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of Vendor’s invoices.  Atria shall be allowed to deduct three percent (3%) from all such invoices paid by Atria within ten (10) calendar days of receipt.  Atria will have no obligation to pay invoices submitted more the sixty (60) calendar days after delivery of Vendor’s products or completion of Vendor’s services.
  2. DELIVERY, RISK OF LOSS AND PASSAGE OF TITLE.
    (a) Unless otherwise agreed to in the Purchase Order, Vendor shall ship all products to the “ship-to” location set forth in the Purchase Order.  Time is of the essence.  Vendor shall be responsible for all damages of any kind incurred or suffered by Atria which were caused by a delay of Vendor in meeting delivery schedules. Vendor shall also be responsible for all premium logistics cost resulting from Vendor’s inability to meet delivery schedules, including costs incurred in getting products to Atria;
    (b) delivery shall not be deemed complete until the products have been actually received by Atria at the “ship-to” location.  Risk of loss and damage in transit shall remain with Vendor and shall not pass to Atria until products are received by Atria and in a condition in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Unauthorized advance shipments and shipments other than for the quantity ordered are returnable at Vendor’s expense; and
    (c) Title to products shall pass to Atria free from all liens and encumbrances upon completion of delivery.
  3. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
    Vendor shall maintain the following minimum insurance coverages from licensed insurers:
    (a) commercial general liability provided on an occurrence basis including coverage for premises-operations, broad form property damage, products/completed operations, contractual liability, independent contractors, personal injury and advertising injury and liability assumed under an insured contract (including coverage for Vendor’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement) with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate;
    (b)  auto liability insurance: Limit $1,000,000 per occurrence combined single limit coverage for bodily injury (including death) and property damage;
    (c) cyber-crimes coverage with limits of at least $2,000,000; and
    (d) workers’ compensation in not less than statutory limits.
    Atria and its affiliates shall be named as additional insureds on Vendor’s general liability policies.  Vendor shall provide a certificate of insurance indicating the above requirements to Atria upon request.  Certificates provided to Atria shall require that Atria be notified, in writing, at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the cancellation, material modification, or material reduction in coverage provided by each applicable policy.  The insurance limits provided hereunder are minimum requirements only and shall not be deemed to limit Vendor’s liability hereunder.
