inconsistent with or in addition to the Terms and Conditions set forth hereon is objected to
and is hereby rejected by Seller. Seller’s silence or failure to respond to any such
subsequent term, condition or proposal shall not be deemed to be Seller’s acceptance or
approval thereof.
ii. ORDERS: SURGE ARREST CANADA INC. reserves the right to schedule and
reschedule any order, with notice to Buyer, at SURGE ARREST CANADA INC.’s
reasonable discretion, and to decline any order for any reason, or no reason, in SURGE

shipping damage, which, in some instances, must be refused immediately upon delivery by

grounds for any such rejection. Failure to provide any such notice within such time shall be
deemed an acceptance in full of any such delivery. Seller shall not be liable for any

immediately due and payable.

Products must include Buyer’s customer tracking number and SURGE ARREST CANADA
INC.’s Return Credit Note number. Deductions received by SURGE ARREST CANADA

the disclosing party’s Confidential Information and shall prevent any improper disclosure or
use thereof by its employees, agents, contractors or consultants, in the same manner and
with the same degree of care (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care) as it
uses in protecting its own information of a confidential nature for a period of three (3) years
from the date of such disclosure. Each party must inform its employees having access to
the other’s Confidential Information of restrictions required to comply with this Section 1(ix).
Each party agrees to provide notice to the other immediately after learning of or having
reason to suspect a breach of any of the restrictions of this Section 1(ix). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information if and to
the extent that such disclosure is required by applicable law, provided that the receiving
party uses reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure and provides the disclosing party a
reasonable opportunity to review the disclosure before it is made and to interpose its own
objection to the disclosure.
Each party retains for itself all proprietary rights it possesses in and to all its own
Confidential Information. Accordingly, Confidential Information which the disclosing party
may furnish to the receiving party shall be in the receiving party’s possession pursuant only
to a restrictive, nontransferable, nonexclusive license under which the receiving party may
use such Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement, solely for the
purposes of satisfying its obligations hereunder. Each party understands that the party
receiving Confidential Information may now or in the future be developing proprietary
information internally or receiving proprietary information from third parties in confidence
that may be similar to disclosed Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as a representation or inference that the receiving party will not develop products,
for itself or others, that compete with the products, processes, systems or methods
contemplated by disclosed Confidential Information.
Each party acknowledges that any material violation of the rights and obligations provided in
this Section 1(ix) may result in immediate and irreparable injury to the other party, and
hereby agrees that the aggrieved party shall be entitled to immediate temporary,
preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief against any such continued violations upon
adequate proof, as required by applicable law. Notwithstanding Section 1(m), each party
hereby submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of competent subject matter
jurisdiction for purposes of entry of such injunctive relief.
