YEC agrees that it will not directly or indirectly solicit orders from or sell any Products to any person or entity outside of the [Market or] Territory, and YEC further agrees that it will not directly or indirectly solicit orders for or sell any Products in any situation where YEC reasonably should know that the Products will be resold or exported outside of the [Market or] Territory. YEC agrees to take all commercially reasonable actions to keep any purchaser of the Products from marketing, distributing or selling the Products in any market outside the Market or Territory.

 

d. Competing Products. YEC agrees that it and any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of YEC will not directly or indirectly market, develop, distribute or sell in the Market any Competing Products, as defined in the Definitions of this Agreement, without prior written consent of ARGO. ARGO acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall, in any way, restrict or prevent YEC and any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of YEC from developing designing, manufacturing, distributing, selling or otherwise any products, to the extent that it does not conflict with any other provisions In this clause. ARGO recognizes based on materials provided thereto by YEC, and YEC warrants, that at the time of the signing of this Agreement, YEC is not developing, manufacturing and selling, and it has not developed, manufactured or sold in the past, any product which constitutes a Competing Product as defined in this Agreement.

 

e. Independent Contractor. ARGO and YEC are each acting as an independent contractor in performing its obligations under this Agreement and neither party is the legal representative, agent, joint venturer, partner, or employee of the other for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party will have any right or authority to assume or create any obligation of any kind or to make any representation or warranty on behalf of the other party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other party in any respect.

 

f. Expenses and Costs. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party assumes full responsibility for its own costs and expenses incurred in carrying out its respective obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to all rent, salaries, commissions, advertising, demonstration, travel and accommodation expenses without the right to reimbursement for any portion thereof from the other party.

12. Intellectual Property. ARGO represents and warrants that it owns and retains title, ownership and all rights and interests,
  including but not limited to all intellectual property rights in or to the Products and product names, logos, marks and other materials that ARGO makes available to YEC under or related to this Agreement, except as expressly specified otherwise herein. ARGO also represents and warrants that ARGO has been and will be conducting, from time to time, searches of any and all third-party’s intellectual property rights relevant to the Products, product names, logos, marks and other materials of ARGO. YEC will cooperate with ARGO, at ARGO’s sole expense, to the extent YEC deemed necessary to protect and maintain ARGO’s intellectual property rights related to the Products, including rights to the ARGO Marks and the ARGO name in the Territory, and will assist, at YEC’s sole opinion and at ARGO’s sole expense, in the enforcement of or defense of such ARGO rights. During the Term, each party will promptly notify the other party of any copying or counterfeiting of the Products in the Territory or any infringement of ARGO’s intellectual property rights in or to the Products in the Territory, to the extent such party becomes aware thereof. ARGO will have the exclusive right, at its discretion, to commence and prosecute at its own expense a lawsuit or to take such other action against such copying, counterfeiting or any other infringement of ARGO’s intellectual property rights as will be deemed appropriate by ARGO. YEC will have no right from taking any actions against such copying, counterfeiting or infringement, unless ARGO decides not to take action within thirty (30) days from the discovery of such copying, counterfeiting or any other infringement. YEC agrees to cooperate fully with ARGO in any such action taken by ARGO against such parties. All expenses of such action and of such cooperation by YEC will be borne by ARGO, be reimbursed to YEC by ARGO in timely manner, and all damages that may be awarded or agreed upon in settlement of such action will accrue to ARGO. If ARGO or YEC receives a claim that use by YEC of the ARGO Marks or the ARGO name infringes or violates the trademark or other proprietary rights of such claimant, each party will promptly notify the other party, and YEC and ARGO agree to cooperate with each other, at ARGO’s sole expense, on actions to be taken with respect to such claims, including, modifying the ARGO Marks or cease selling or withdrawing or recalling the Products on which the ARGO Marks appears or ceasing to use the ARGO Marks or the ARGO name; provided that ARGO will have the exclusive right to make the final decision with regard to any actions to be taken with respect to such claims.

 

13. No Questionable Payments. YEC acknowledges that ARGO is subject to the United States’ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and may be subject to other applicable business integrity or anti-corruption laws. YEC acknowledges that, under the FCPA, it is unlawful for YEC, its employees and any other of YEC’s agents to, in connection with the business activity of ARGO or its subsidiaries, offer, pay or otherwise promise, directly or indirectly, any money, gift or anything of value to (1) any employee or officer of a government of a country (or any agency or enterprise owned or controlled by a country), (2) any official of a political party or a candidate for political office, and (3) any official or employee of a public international organization or any person acting or behalf of such entities. YEC agrees to refrain from making or causing any of the actions described in the foregoing sentence and further agrees to advise the ARGO in writing of any knowledge or suspicion of any such actions and the basis therefor. Any breach of the provisions of this section will entitle ARGO to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice to YEC.

1. Argo Medical Technologies Ltd (“Argo”) hereby warrants to the original purchaser of ReWalk (the “Customer” and the “Product”, respectively) that during the Warranty Period (as defined in Section 2 below), subject to normal wear and tear and the terms set forth herein, when used as intended and after training by Argo or authorized representative whereof, without unapproved modifications, following all Argo’s instructions and requirements and when fitted by or under the direct supervision of a certified/licensed practitioner who meets all Argo’s product-specific training requirements for the Product, the Product shall be free of defects in material or workmanship.

2. The “Warranty Period” as used herein (and except for the battery, as set forth in Section 7.1 below) shall mean the period commencing on the date of delivery of the Product to the Customer and terminating 24 (twenty four) months thereafter (the “Initial Period”); provided however that the Warranty Period shall promptly terminate if the Customer shall not have the Product sent to Argo’s local dealer (the “Dealer”), the details of which are indicated on the back of this page, for a free service check at 12 months from the date of purchase, or at any other time instructed by Argo. The Warranty Period may be extended for fee beyond the Initial Period for up to 5 years (i.e.: by additional three years or less). The Customer is encouraged to contact the Dealer and receive a quote for such extended period.

3. If Argo finds the Product to be defective as a sole result of defects in material or workmanship—then, during the Warranty Period, upon receipt of due notice from the Customer and subject to the Customer’s full performance of its obligations hereunder–Argo shall repair or replace the Product, or parts thereof, or refund part or all of the original purchase price thereof. The option to repair, replace or pay a refund shall be at Argo’s sole discretion.

4. For goods or essential components manufactured by a third party and supplied by Argo in connection with the Product (if any), Argo’s warranty is limited to the warranty provided by said third party.

5. The remedies hereby provided shall be the exclusive and sole remedies of the Customer.

6. This warranty shall only apply to the Customer and with regard to Product, and this warranty is not transferable without the prior written consent of Argo.

7.2 damages resulting from normal wear, damages caused, wholly or partially, due to abuse, operation beyond capacity, substitution of parts not approved by Argo, misuse, negligence, inadequate storage, installation, application and/or maintenance as recommended by Argo from time to time and/or unauthorized repairs or alterations of the Product and other reasons beyond Argos’s control;

7.3 damages caused by accident, natural disasters (such as fire, water damage, floods, lighting, etc.), force majeure, acts of war, sabotage or any unforeseen circumstances;

7.4 damages caused during shipment (responsibility for safe delivery should be assumed by the freight carrier at the time of shipment and claims for such damages must be filed with the freight carrier or insurer); or
