Supply Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: September 20, 2022

Last Updated: July 26, 2023

These Supply Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) govern the supply by Molecular Assemblies, Inc. and its affiliates (individually, and collectively, referred to in this Agreement as “us”, “we”, or “our” or “Molecular Assemblies”) of certain products to you (the “Customer,”) all as described under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer and Molecular Assemblies may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” This Agreement applies to all orders placed by Customer through the Molecular Assemblies online portal or by reference in any written documents between the Parties.

1. PRODUCT SUPPLY

1.1 Product Orders. During the Term (as defined below) Customer may order catalog/off-the-shelf and/or custom products (“Products”) from Molecular Assemblies by providing Molecular Assemblies with a written request or an electronic request through the Molecular Assemblies online portal for the requested Products. In the case of custom Products, Customer shall include a sequence request submission form for each Product (the “Sequence Submission”) describing the genetic sequence of the desired custom Product. If Molecular Assemblies is willing and believes it is able to supply the custom Products, Molecular Assemblies will issue a quotation to Customer setting out the price for the custom Products and other relevant details, if applicable, regarding their manufacture and supply hereunder (“Quotation”). Molecular Assemblies has no obligation to issue Quotations and each Quotation shall only be valid for the time period stated therein (or if not so stated, for a period of thirty (30) days) after which such Quotation shall expire. Customer may accept the Quotation by issuing a purchase order to Molecular Assemblies for Products accepting all of the terms of the Quotation (and no additional or different terms) prior to its expiration (“Order”), which will be confirmed by Molecular Assemblies in writing and, unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, Customer may not cancel such Order. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement or the applicable Quotation and any Order, Sequence Submission, invoice, or other ordering document or correspondence, this Agreement or the Quotation shall control and take precedence. In case of conflict between this Agreement and any Quotation, this Agreement shall control, except to the extent that such Quotation expressly and specifically states an intent to supersede this Agreement on a specific matter. No additional terms contained in any Order, Sequence Submission, invoice, or other ordering document or correspondence shall bind either Party or be construed to modify or amend the terms of this Agreement or Quotation unless expressly stated to supersede this Agreement and mutually agreed to in writing by Molecular Assemblies and Customer.

1.2 Product Supply. Upon Molecular Assemblies’ confirmation of an Order in accordance with this Agreement, Molecular Assemblies will use commercially reasonable efforts to synthesize and supply the Products designated in the Order (based on the corresponding Sequence Submission, if applicable) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Molecular Assemblies may cancel any Order if Molecular Assemblies determines (in its reasonable discretion) a need to do so for biosecurity, biosafety, patent infringement, export restrictions and/or feasibility reasons. Any cancellation of an Order as described above shall be without penalty or liability to Molecular Assemblies (provided that any prepaid amounts for such Products shall be promptly refunded to Customer by Molecular Assemblies, or if Customer so requests, credited toward future purchases under this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in the Agreement shall limit or restrict Molecular Assemblies’ right and ability at all times to provide products and services to third parties which are similar or identical to the Products or services made, provided or supplied under this Agreement, as long as Molecular Assemblies does not breach its confidentiality or non-use obligations under this Agreement.

1.3 Shipment and Delivery Terms. Molecular Assemblies will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship Products by the target delivery date specified in the Order. All Products will be shipped Ex Works (Incoterms 2020) Molecular Assemblies’ facility to the delivery address specified in the Order. Except as otherwise stated in the Order, Molecular Assemblies may ship all Products using the means and carrier of its choice, but at the Customer’s sole expense. Molecular Assemblies reserves the right to deliver Orders in installments, where applicable, in which case Molecular Assemblies will send a separate invoice for each delivery pursuant to Section 3. Molecular Assemblies does not clear Products for import into the country specified in the delivery address, if outside the U.S., which is Customer’s sole responsibility.

Products are deemed shipped and delivered to Customer when tendered to the applicable commercial carrier at Molecular Assemblies’ facility. At this point, title to the Products passes to Customer (subject to Customer’s payment in full of all Fees therefor) and Customer becomes responsible for risk of loss and damage.

Returns. Any returns of Product shall be subject to Molecular Assemblies’ published Return Policy available at https://molecularassemblies.com/return-policy/ (the “Return Policy”).

1. CUSTOMER SEQUENCES, MATERIALS, RESTRICTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1.4 Customer Sequence Information. To the extent required under an Order, Customer will provide to Molecular Assemblies certain genetic sequences and related information (“Sequence Information”) in its Sequence Submission and/or related documents and correspondence. Customer shall ensure that the Sequence Information is accurate and complete with respect to each Product in the corresponding Order and conforms to the applicable requirements set forth in the Agreement.

1.5 Customer Materials. To the extent required under an Order, Customer shall provide (or have provided) to Molecular Assemblies the Sequence Submission, Sequence Information and sufficient amounts of materials and information, in each case, in accordance with applicable law, to be used by Molecular Assemblies to perform under this Agreement (collectively, “Customer Materials”) at its sole expense in a prompt and timely manner. Customer represents and warrants that: (i) Customer has all rights, licenses, registrations, consents and permissions required to provide the Customer Materials to Molecular Assemblies and for Molecular Assemblies to use such Customer Materials to make and supply the Products and otherwise perform under this Agreement and the applicable Order; (ii) all Customer Materials will be de-identified and otherwise stripped of any identifiers of or information that can be used to identify any individual, including but not limited to any “Protected Health Information” as defined in 45 C.F.R. section 164. 103, “Personal Data” as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, or other information the disclosure of which is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; and (iii) Molecular Assemblies’ possession and use of the Customer Materials and any Product that Customer orders under and in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Order shall not violate any applicable laws or other agreements to which Customer is a party, nor require registration or other action under United States Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) regulations, the United States Export Administration Regulations (EAR) or other biosecurity requirements (collectively, “Biosecurity Requirements”), or infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any third party. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer represents and warrants that no Customer Materials provided, and no Products ordered, are or contain (x) the full protein coding sequence coding for functional forms of a toxin covered by FSAP or any sequence unique to a FSAP-controlled organism capable of transferring pathogenicity, (y) radioactive isotopes, or (z) hazardous materials. Customer further represents and warrants that it has provided Molecular Assemblies with all material information regarding any toxic substances or material hazards associated with the handling, transport, disposal, or other usage of the Customer Materials or Products based on the Customer Materials. Molecular Assemblies reserves the right (but has no obligation) to screen all Orders and associated Customer Materials to ensure compliance with Biosecurity Requirements (and if applicable, reject any Orders or cancel any Orders as appropriate). Customer shall cooperate with Molecular Assemblies in connection with such screening.

1.6 Molecular Assemblies Use of Customer Materials. To the extent Customer Materials are provided pursuant to a given Order and notwithstanding Section 5, Customer hereby grants Molecular Assemblies, its affiliates and third party service providers a nonexclusive license to use and develop the Customer Materials solely to make and supply the Products under an Order, for Molecular Assemblies’ internal synthesis, validation, process improvement and quality control activities, and to otherwise perform under this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, Molecular Assemblies shall be responsible for its affiliates’ and service providers’ use of the Materials. Molecular Assemblies shall have no obligation to return any unused Customer Materials nor shall Molecular Assemblies have any liability for any damage to or destruction of any Customer Materials. Customer has read and hereby acknowledges Molecular Assemblies’ published Privacy Policy available at https://molecularassemblies.com/privacy-policy/. 

1.7 Limitations and Restrictions on Use of Products. The Products are intended for internal use only and Customer shall not sell, resell, transfer or distribute the Products to any third party other than service providers acting on behalf of Customer (and not for the purpose of benchmarking Molecular Assemblies’ Products against products supplied by such service provider or another vendor) or bona fide collaborators for the commercialization of Customer products (such service providers and collaborators collectively, “Permitted Transferees”). Customer shall be solely responsible and liable for any use of the Products Customer and/or its Permitted Transferees shall not use any Product in humans to treat or diagnose any condition nor for any other diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, for investigational use in foods, drugs, devices or cosmetics of any kind, or for consumption by or use in connection with or administration or application to humans or animals unless Customer and/or its Permitted Transferees first obtain all necessary and/or appropriate approvals, clearances, authorizations and/or licenses from the FDA or other applicable governmental agency within or outside the United States. In any event, Customer shall use all Products in accordance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and governmental policies and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer also agrees not to (and not to authorize or permit others to) reverse engineer, deconstruct or disassemble any Products (except to the extent such Products comprise the nucleotide sequence set forth in the Customer Materials) or Molecular Assemblies-supplied vectors; provided that, for Products comprising an antibody library, this restriction does not limit Customer’s ability to screen such antibody library, isolate individual antibodies from such library, and reverse engineer, deconstruct or disassemble such antibodies.

2. PURCHASE PRICE; FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

Customer shall pay Molecular Assemblies the purchase price, fees and other payments (if any) specified in each Order (collectively, “Fees”) for Molecular Assemblies’ production and supply of Products and other performance under this Agreement in accordance with Molecular Assemblies’ instructions. Pricing does not include shipping, handling, freight, insurance, taxes and customs, which Customer is responsible for paying and which, as applicable, Molecular Assemblies may add to Customer’s invoice. Only the pricing in the Quotation for a given Sequence Submission is valid and Molecular Assemblies shall not be bound or subject to any other pricing, regardless of where stated or published. Customer shall pay the Fees to Molecular Assemblies within thirty (30) days of Molecular Assemblies’ invoice date for such Fees. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all Fees are non-cancelable, non-creditable and non-refundable. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Molecular Assemblies, failure of Customer to pay any Fees when due shall entitle Molecular Assemblies to suspend completion or shipment of any pending Orders unless and until such Fees are paid. Molecular Assemblies’ Fees do not include applicable taxes. Customer will be responsible for the payment of, and shall pay all, taxes and duties imposed with respect to the Products supplied (and any other performance by Molecular Assemblies) under this Agreement and Molecular Assemblies may add such taxes to Customer’s invoice which Customer shall be obligated to pay as part of the Fees.

3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

3.1 Retention of Rights. Customer shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Customer Materials (subject to the rights and licenses expressly provided for in this Agreement). Molecular Assemblies shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to Molecular Assemblies’ intellectual property used or practiced in connection with product, gene or DNA synthesis, assembly, and manufacturing, including, without limitation, any suggestions, improvements or modifications to each of the foregoing (collectively, “Molecular Assemblies Manufacturing Technology”), whether or not developed, created or improved by either Party (alone or jointly with others), and Customer agrees to assign and hereby assigns all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Molecular Assemblies Manufacturing Technology to Molecular Assemblies. No rights or licenses in, to or under either Party’s intellectual property are granted or provided hereunder, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement. In the event Molecular Assemblies incorporates any Molecular Assemblies Manufacturing Technology into any Products shipped to Customer and duly paid for by Customer, Molecular Assemblies will grant and does hereby grant to Customer a perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid-up worldwide license to use such Molecular Assemblies Manufacturing Technology incorporated into such Products solely as incorporated into and solely as necessary to use such Products, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer is solely responsible for determining if there are any restrictions on use of Products resulting from any third-party patents or other proprietary rights.

3.2 Third Party Resources. Documentation (including manuals and protocols) provided by Molecular Assemblies with the Products may contain references to other third-party resources such as sources of information, hardware or software, products, or services and/or web sites owned or licensed by third parties (“Third Party Resources”). The inclusion of such resources in any documentation does not imply endorsement by Molecular Assemblies of any such third-party resources. Molecular Assemblies will not be responsible or liable for any losses, costs, expenses, or any other forms of liability arising out of Customer’s use of such Third Party Resources.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY

“Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by or on behalf of either Party or its representatives (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) pursuant to these Terms that is (a) marked “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or (b) that should otherwise reasonably be expected to be treated in a confidential manner under the circumstances of disclosure or by the nature of the information itself. Confidential Information does not include any information that is: (i) publicly available or becomes publicly available through no action or inaction of the receiving Party; (ii) in the rightful possession of the receiving Party without confidentiality obligations at the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party to the receiving Party as shown by the receiving Party’s then contemporaneous written files and records kept in the ordinary course of business; or (iii) obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without an accompanying duty of confidentiality and without a breach of such third party’s obligations of confidentiality. The receiving Party shall (x) use the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party solely to exercise its rights and fulfill its obligations under these Terms, (y) shall not disclose disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third parties other than its own employees or agents on a need to know basis who are subject to written obligations of confidentiality and non- use that are at least as protective of disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as these Terms, except with the disclosing Party’s express written consent, and (z) take the precautions the Receiving Party employs with respect to protecting its own confidential information of a similar nature to protect the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. All Customer Materials shall be Confidential Information of Customer. Molecular Assemblies Manufacturing Technology shall be the Confidential Information of Molecular Assemblies. This Agreement and any other aspects of an Order shall be the Confidential Information of both Parties. If the receiving Party becomes legally required to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party will disclose only that portion that is legally required to be disclosed and such disclosed information shall maintain its confidentiality protection for all other purposes. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, or upon written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall promptly return or destroy all documents, notes and other tangible materials representing the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and all copies thereof (excluding any Confidential Information that is subject to a surviving license granted to the Receiving Party hereunder); provided, however, that the Receiving Party may retain a copy of such Confidential Information under conditions of confidentiality solely for legal archival purposes and for compliance with the surviving provisions of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5 by the Receiving Party may cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party that may not be adequately compensated by damages. Each Party therefore agrees that in the event of such breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party, and in addition to any remedies available at law, the Disclosing Party shall have the right to seek equitable and injunctive relief, without bond, in connection with such a breach or threatened breach.

5. LIMITATION AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE RETURN POLICY, THE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND AND MOLECULAR ASSEMBLIES MAKES NO, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS OR ANY OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AS WELL AS WARRANTIES REGARDING SECURITY, RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF ANY PRODUCT AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM A STATUTE OR OTHERWISE IN LAW OR FROM A COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. No description, statement or other content of any Molecular Assemblies website or marketing or communications materials will be binding on Molecular Assemblies.
