If any amount is not paid in full when due, the COMPANY may seek payment in full of CUSTOMER for any components, raw materials, work in process or finished goods of the Products. Once CUSTOMER pays for such components, raw materials, work in process or finished goods of the Products, the COMPANY will ship same to CUSTOMER at CUSTOMER’s expense. CUSTOMER is responsible for any sales, use, VAT, GST, or other taxes or duties, however designated, except for taxes related to the COMPANY’s net income.

In the event CUSTOMER owes any money to the COMPANY for any reason and any such amount remains unpaid to the COMPANY more than 15 days after the due date stated by the COMPANY, CUSTOMER agrees to pay interest on any unpaid amount at a rate of or 25% per annual from the past due date until the amount owed, and all interest associated therewith, is paid in full to the COMPANY. It is provided further that the COMPANY may suspend orders and deliveries under any order until all overdue amounts have been paid in full. 

6. All intellectual property rights, or rights that rank on a par with these, to the Products provided by COMPANY to CUSTOMER belong to COMPANY. Any products formulated and developed fully by COMPANY belong to COMPANY.  

    a. Notwithstanding Clause 6, to the extent the CUSTOMER provides its own unique formulation, or any other designs or materials created independently prior to, or otherwise than in connection with, the Agreement, the CUSTOMER retains the intellectual property rights in such CUSTOMER materials; to the extent the COMPANY provides its own unique formulation for the CUSTOMER, or any other designs or materials created independently prior to, or otherwise in connection with, the Agreement, the COMPANY retains the intellectual property rights in such COMPANY materials. 
    b. The COMPANY shall not use materials of any kind made available by CUSTOMER, including CUSTOMER Trademarks, for any purpose other than manufacturing the Products for supply to CUSTOMER, shall not make available any such materials to third parties and shall return them promptly to CUSTOMER on request. For the avoidance of doubt, COMPANY shall not produce or supply any Products bearing any CUSTOMER Trademarks for any other person whatsoever and shall not produce or supply to any person any products which infringe any CUSTOMER Trademarks or assist any other person to do so. If COMPANY fully formulates and develops Product for CUSTOMER, COMPANY may create their own brand or other private label brands that may be similar to that of CUSTOMERs. 
    c. The COMPANY shall not, without CUSTOMER’s prior written approval, offer for sale, sell, or supply the Products bearing CUSTOMER Trademarks to third parties under any circumstances, including if the Products are surplus to CUSTOMER’s requirements, or if CUSTOMER has terminated the Agreement relating to these Products, unless otherwise stated in this agreement. 

7. CUSTOMER’s Responsibility for Products. Other than a breach by the COMPANY of its warranties in Section 8(a) and 8(b), CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that CUSTOMER is solely responsible for all aspects of the Products, including but not limited to, any label content, packaging materials, and all marketing and promotional claims made about the Products in any forum or media. Additionally, CUSTOMER is responsible to see that the Products, including, but not limited to, any Product label, formula, ingredient, component, raw materials, or marketing materials fully comply in every respect with all local, state and federal laws, statutes, rules, orders, and regulations applicable to the Products and their sale in those states, countries or other jurisdictions in which the CUSTOMER sells the Products. 

    a.  Labels. 

1. If COMPANY is printing labels as part of the order, COMPANY will guarantee the label production will coincide with production of the product. The CUSTOMER should make sure they are introduced to a graphic designer so they can work with them hand in hand to make the desired label (s). The CUSTOMER and graphic designer will work with the compliance officer to get the label(s), print ready. The CUSTOMER should have an idea of what they want the label to look like and maybe an example or two. 

If COMPANY is not printing labels as part of the order, then the order is to be paid in full when the production of the ordered product is complete. Such payment is not contingent upon label completion or application to the product. 

CUSTOMERS supplying artwork for COMPANY to print labels or packaging must tender their ‘print ready’ artwork, as an Adobe Illustrator file, to COMPANY within two weeks after their order is placed. Failing to provide “print ready” artwork within the two-week timeframe will result in the CUSTOMER’s order incurring additional fees for revisions. A representative from the COMPANY will send the following for completion once the order is submitted and payment is confirmed: supplement fact panel, die line, and artwork guidelines. In addition, COMPANY can only print FDA compliant labels.  CUSTOMER supplying artwork will need a compliance officer. CUSTOMER will ensure they are in contact with the compliance officer and send the artwork to the compliance officer when ready. If CUSTOMER does not have a compliance officer, we will take on this role and will bill CUSTOMER for additional COMPLIANCE work at the current hourly charge of our FDA/FTC Compliance Attorney. If any changes are to be made after the first submission, the CUSTOMER will ensure that it is done promptly and as accurate as possible to resubmit for approval from compliance. This may take up to five days. COMPANY will not be responsible for any delays resulting from the CUSTOMER’s failure to provide “print ready” artwork within the specified period. In these cases, a final invoice for artwork, special packaging, freight, and other extras will be provided when the project is completed and ready to ship. The CUSTOMER is responsible for all copy, directions, warnings, or any additional information appearing on the label. COMPANY is only responsible for providing the “Supplemental Facts” panel and label dimension lines.  

Once labels are print ready, CUSTOMER will contact compliance at ellieflores@allinnutritionals.com.   

CUSTOMERs supplying pre-printed labels must deliver the pre-printed labels to COMPANY’s offices, as Adobe Illustrator files, within three weeks after placing an order. CUSTOMER will need to tell their print company Labels should be wound on 3” cores with the core extending all the way to the edge of the roll. Any “label out” copy position is acceptable. The copy position for printed labels is number 3 (recommended) or 4. This determines which way the label dispenses off of the roll and also which direction we will put the bottle into the machine. Labels must be die-cut with approximately 1/8” gap. Narrow labels will work but the backing paper for them must be at least 1-1/2” inch width. If CUSTOMER fails to provide pre-printed labels within the four-week time frame, ordered products will be manufactured, packaged, and invoiced without labels. In addition, if CUSTOMER does not provide enough pre-printed labels to complete the order, all units both labeled and unlabeled will be shipped and billed to the CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER shall be required to meet the invoice terms requiring full payment within five (5) business days of the invoice.  

    b.  Raw Materials. COMPANY will not accept raw materials supplied by CUSTOMER for the manufacture of CUSTOMER’s product at any time.  

    c.  Custom Product Research and Development. 

1. Formulas must be submitted by CUTOMER, for evaluation, to the COMPANYs Research and Development team. CUSTOMER, if requested, may receive up to three (3) rounds of custom samples. Once the CUSTOMER approves the samples, a Custom Product Specification Sheet is drafted to be approved by the CUSTOMER. Once the specification sheet is approved and signed by the CUSTOMER, the full order is approved for Production by the CUSTOMER and the Products will be put into production. The master batch of production will take approximately 2-6 weeks, followed by 5-14 days to package, finish final testing, and ship. 

    d.  Communications. The CUSTOMER has 60 days to provide all requested information and respond to all inquiries made by the company for production purposes. If the CUSTOMER does not respond by the allotted 60 days to all communication made by the company, the company reserves the right to cancel the purchase order and retain the deposit provided. 

    e.  Product Expirations. 

1. A product’s expiration can only be properly determined by conducting a stability study. In the event the CUSTOMER does not provide the results of a stability study, the product will be issued a “manufactured on” date. CUSTOMERs requesting an expiration date be affixed to the product is certifying that the product and packaging ordered has been stability tested in accordance with industry standards prior to placing the order and that the product and packaging specifications provided by CUSTOMER are identical to the specification used for stability testing. COMPANY is not responsible for stability testing the product unless COMPANY and CUSTOMER agree to the contrary in writing.  If CUSTOMER’s packaging and/or product specifications have not been stability tested, or the specifications provided to COMPANY deviate from those used in the stability test,  CUSTOMER agrees to hold COMPANY harmless and indemnify fully the COMPANY against any and all claims for damages or loss arising out of the product becoming unstable, unmarketable, less effective than claimed or intended, or otherwise deviating from the specifications, which occurred as a result of the products instability after manufacturing. 

The COMPANY will guarantee up to one year of shelf life for ALL stock products ordered. If a longer shelf life is needed when ordering, the CUSTOMER must order a custom build to suit the needs of the shelf life it requires. 

    f. Storage and Disposal Fees. COMPANY will not charge CUSTOMER storage fees unless there is Inactive Inventory. Inactive inventory stored in COMPANY’s warehouse may be billed at the rate of $50.00 per pallet per week, unless otherwise agreed upon. Any materials held longer than 120 days without payment will be considered Inactive Inventory. Any materials held longer than 200 days will be considered Abandoned and will become the property of COMPANY. The COMPANY has the right to sell goods that are not paid for after 200 days and CUSTOMER waives any and all claims it has or may have against COMPANY for selling the product after it is abandoned. If COMPANY is unable to sell abandoned product, CUSTOMER becomes liable for paying all storage fees. In addition, there will be a $250 pallet disposal fee for any abandoned product or if the CUSTOMER goes out of business and requests COMPANY to dispose of the product. CUSTOMER agrees to all additional storage fees herein. If CUSTOMER abandons finished product at COMPANY’s warehouse for more than two hundred fifty (250) days, CUSTOMER, hereby, assigns all rights in and to the product’s formula, trademarks, trade dress, product labeling, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights (the “IPR”) to COMPANY, without restriction, worldwide. CUSTOMER further agrees to complete a trademark and copyright assignment with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and U.S. Copyright Office, as applicable, and shall not oppose or interfere with the use by COMPANY or its licensee or assignee of any of the above IPR. 

    g. Graphic Designs. We are proud to have the extension of ALL-IN NUTRITIONALS into all our CUSTOMER graphic design needs. We provide full-service designs and graphics for Labels according to our CUSTOMER’s needs. For all services provided by the ALL-IN NUTRITIONALS team, an invoice deposit of 50% must be paid before the project is initiated.  

    h. Returns. COMPANY reserves the right to refuse any returns from consumers and third-party companies, in the event that a product is returned to ALL-IN NUTRITIONALS from a consumer or a third party, the CUSTOMER will be notified of the return, as well as the if the product is to be released back to the CUSTOMER or to be destroyed.
