1.合同——本标准条款与条件，与我们提供的、和您订单或服务协议相关的其他补充条款一起，共同构成作为产品（包括零部件及其他商品）、软件许可和/或服务的买方（下称“买方”）与在报价单、订单、服务协议、发票或其他订单文件中确认的梅特勒托利多实体（下称“梅特勒托利多”）之间的合同。本合同中规定的权利与义务适用于买方在梅特勒托利多订单文件中采购的产品、软件许可以及服务。若买方订单包含须遵守最终用户协议的软件，则最终用户协议的条款也将适用且优先于本标准条款与条件。那些不同于本标准条款内容或对本标准条款做的变更，须经双方书面同意后方才适用。买方表单中包含的条款与条件，包括买方提交给梅特勒托利多现场服务代表的买方采购标准条款与条件以及单据，均不是本合同的一部分。买方对梅特勒托利多所交付产品、软件许可和（或）服务的接收，构成对本标准条款以及对在www.mt.com/legal上可获取的最终用户协议的无条件接受。
1. CONTRACT – These terms and conditions, together with any other supplemental written terms we give you pertaining to your order or service agreement, form a contract between you, the buyer of certain equipment (including parts and other merchandise), software license, and/or services (the "Buyer"), and us, the METTLER TOLEDO entity identified on the quote, order acknowledgement, service agreement, invoice, or other order document we give you ("MT"). The rights and obligations identified in this contract apply to Buyer's purchase of the equipment, software license, and services identified in the MT order documents. If Buyer's order includes software subject to an end user license agreement ("EULA"), the terms of the EULA also apply and have priority over these terms. Terms and conditions that are different or changed from these only apply if both parties agree to them in writing. Terms or conditions included on Buyer's forms, including Buyer's standard terms and conditions of purchase and documents presented to MT's field service representatives, are not part of this contract. Buyer's receipt of equipment, software license, and/or services establishes its unqualified acceptance of these terms and conditions and any applicable EULA available at www.mt.com/legal.
2.许可的授予——如果没有最终用户协议，梅特勒托利多授权买方仅基于内部使用的目的，享有非独占、不可转让、不得再授权地使用该软件产品的权利。买方不得对梅特勒托利多许可的软件产品进行逆向工程、解编或反向编译。
2. GRANT OF LICENSE – If there is no EULA, MT grants Buyer a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable right to use the software ordered for Buyer's internal purposes only. Buyer may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any software it licenses from MT.
3.报价、定价和产品信息——除非另有规定或梅特勒托利多在买方接受报价或要约前更早地撤销了该报价或要约，否则报价以及其他销售要约自发布之日起三十（30）个日历日后自动失效。定制产品或软件的报价和要约，或将依赖于诸如买方提供的信息或情况。如果影响报价或要约的信息或情况发生变更，梅特勒托利多有权调整相关报价或要约。价格列表并非产品销售的要约，梅特勒托利多有权予以单方面修改。除非对规格另有书面约定，否则梅特勒托利多有权单方面改变产品或软件的规格。除非在梅特勒托利多订单上另有规定，梅特勒托利多的价格不含税款、运输费、包装费、手续费、保险费、关税、检查费、许可费、安装费或其他费用或服务。梅特勒托利多可选择接受或拒绝任何订单；以下情形表明梅特勒托利多接受该订单：(a)对订单予以书面确认；或（b）执行订单。特定产品的特性描述，包括但不限于产品重量、尺寸、价值、投资收益率、负荷、公差或其他技术数据，并非对这些特性的保证，且仅作参考。买方不得在未经梅特勒托利多书面同意的情况下向任何第三方披露任何报价、价格、规格或产品信息。
3. QUOTATIONS, PUBLISHED PRICES, AND PRODUCT INFORMATION – Quotes and other offers of sale automatically expire 30 calendar days from the date issued unless otherwise stated, and unless MT withdraws the quote or offer earlier, which it may do any time prior to Buyer's acceptance of the quote or offer. Quotes and offers relating to custom equipment or software may rely on certain information and circumstances, including information Buyer provides. If information or circumstances on which a quote or offer relies change, MT may adjust its quote or offer. Published prices are not offers to sell and may be changed without notice. MT may change equipment or software specifications without notice unless it agreed to the specification(s) in writing. Prices do not include any taxes, shipping, packaging, handling, insurance, duties, inspection fees, permit fees, installation, or other costs or services unless otherwise specified in the MT order documents. MT may choose to accept or reject any order; MT will indicate order acceptance: (a) with a written order confirmation; or (b) by executing the order. Specific product characteristics, including but not limited to product weight, dimensions, value, return on investment, load, tolerance, and other technical data are not guarantees of those characteristics and are provided for information only. Buyer is not permitted to disclose any quotes, prices, specifications, or product information to any third party without MT's prior written consent.
4.税款——如果当地法律要求梅特勒托利多交纳任何税款，则此类税款的金额将被添加在买方的发票上并由买方支付，除非买方能向梅特勒托利多出具一份有效的免税证明。如果买方向梅特勒托利多提供的免税证明后被认定为无效，则前述未支付的税款将由买方承担。
4. TAXES – If local law requires MT to collect any tax from Buyer it will be added to Buyer's invoice and Buyer will be responsible to pay it, unless Buyer gives MT a valid tax exemption certificate. If an exemption certificate Buyer gives MT is later determined to be invalid, then Buyer will pay the previously unpaid tax.
5.支付条件——除非另有约定，支付条件为：本合同签订之日起十（10）日内预付不低于该合同金额的百分之三十（30%），买方在支付剩余货款后，梅特勒托利多将在合理期限内发货或提供服务。无论在任何情形下，剩余款项的支付不迟于梅特勒托利多通知买方发货之日起三十（30）日。
在合同产品需要由梅特勒托利多指导安装调试的情况下，如双方书面约定一定比例的合同金额支付以安装调试验收合格为条件，则非因梅特勒托利多原因，买方未能在梅特勒托利多交货之日起六十（60）日内安排安装调试并完成验收工作的，梅特勒托利多有权要求买方立即支付相应的货款且产品视为已验收通过。
如逾期未付的，每逾期一天，收取未付部分千分之五（（5‰））的逾期付款违约金，最高可达法律允许的最高合同金额比例。买方逾期付款超过三十（30）天的，梅特勒托利多有权解除本合同。如因买方原因买方不能按时支付货款，梅特勒托利多有权采取法律许可的任何补救措施，包括但不限于重新占有所售产品。如梅特勒托利多需采取有关措施来收回货款或重新占有所售产品，则买方同意赔偿梅特勒托利多为此而支付的律师费、诉讼费等相关费用。如梅特勒托利多基于买方的财务状况或其他情形认为按规定的条款和条件继续履行合同、进行生产和交运不再合适，则梅特勒托利多有权要求买方提前支付全额或部分货款或服务费。
5. TERMS OF PAYMENT – Unless otherwise agreed, prepayment of no less than 30% of the total contractual amount shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date of signing of this contract, and after Buyer pays the remaining payments, MT will deliver the goods or services in a reasonable period. Under any circumstances, the remaining payments must be paid no later than 30 days after MT notifies Buyer it is to deliver the goods.
If the products require MT's supervision of installation and commissioning, and both parties agree in writing that certain percentages of the contractual amount will be paid upon completion of the installation and commissioning and Buyer’s acceptance of the performance afterwards, and where Buyer fails to arrange the installation and commissioning and complete the test within sixty (60) days as of the date of delivery, then the related portion of the contractual amount shall become due immediately and any acceptance provisions are deemed accepted.
Amounts past due are subject to a default charge equal to the greater of 5‰ per day or the maximum contract rate permitted by law. If amounts are past due for more than 30 days, MT will have the right to terminate the contract. Upon default and placing Buyer’s account for collection or repossession of equipment, Buyer agrees to reimburse collection costs, legal fees, and court costs MT insures in connection therewith. If MT deems that by reason of the financial condition of Buyer or otherwise, the continuance, production or shipment on the terms specified is not justified, MT may require full or partial payment in advance.
6.运输费、手续费和交货——交货日期为大约日期且以及时收到与拟交付的产品相关的所有必要信息（包括但不限于技术信息、发货通知、法律法规要求的任何进出口授权书）为基础。梅特勒托利多将尽合理努力按相关订单所记载的交货和服务日期进行交货或提供服务，但如未果，梅特勒托利多亦无需为此承担责任。货物毁损、灭失的风险自货交承运人起即转移至买方。如因买方的原因导致交货迟延，梅特勒托利多将保管和处理相关所有物品，但货物毁损、灭失的风险由买方承担。梅特勒托利多将向买方就相关的保管费、保险费和手续费向买方开具发票。买方应在开票之日起的30日内向梅特勒托利多足额支付前述费用。梅特勒托利多有权分批交运货物。除非所有运输箱柜和包装材料留存以待梅特勒托利多查验，否则梅特勒托利多对可能存在的任何短缺或破损均不承担责任。
具体交货日期没有约定或约定不明确的，或约定由买方在合同签订之日后另行通知的，则买方最迟应在梅特勒托利多通知买方货已备妥之日起一个月内通知梅特勒托利多立即发货，否则梅特勒托利多有权要求买方承担梅特勒托利多的相关损失。无论在任何情形下，前述通知发货周期不得超过梅特勒托利多通知买方货已备妥之日起三个月，超过三个月的，梅特勒托利多有权决定（1）根据市场情形适当上调合同价格；（2）要求买方提前支付未到期货款；或（3）单方面解除部分或全部合同，并要求买方支付被取消订单合同金额30%作为违约金，若违约金不足以弥补梅特勒托利多损失的，买方应另行赔偿。
交货条件为“工厂交货”。
6. SHIPPING, HANDLING, AND DELIVERY – Delivery dates are approximate and are based on prompt receipt of all necessary information regarding the equipment to be delivered, including but not limited to any technical information, notice of delivery and any import/export authorizations required by law or regulation. MT will use reasonable efforts to meet the indicated delivery and service dates but will not be held responsible for its failure to do so. Risk of loss shall passes to Buyer upon delivery to a carrier. In the event of any delay in delivery caused by Buyer, MT will store and handle all items at Buyer's risk and will invoice Buyer for the unpaid portion of the contract price, plus applicable storage, insurance, and handling charges. The invoice will be payable in full within 30 days from the invoice date. MT has the right to make partial shipments and bill for those shipments. MT will not accept responsibility for any shortages or damages unless all shipping containers and packing materials are retained for inspection.
If the delivery date is not stipulated or not specified in the Contract, or theContract stipulates that the delivery date will be fixed upon Buyer's notice after the signing of the contract, Buyer shall then notify MT to deliver the goods immediately at latest within 30 days upon MT's notice of readiness for goods delivery, otherwise MT has the right to claim all damages resulting from Buyer's delay of notice. Under any circumstances, the aforementioned delivery period shall not exceed three months upon MT's notice of readiness for goods delivery, otherwise MT has the right to decide (1) to increase the price appropriately according to market situations; (2) to ask for early payment of undue payment(s); or (3) to unilaterally terminate the contract by part or in whole, in such case, MT will be entitled to 30% of the contract price of the cancelled order(s) as damages, if the liquidated damages are not adequate to compensate for MT's losses, the Buyer shall pay the rest.
Shipments are Ex Works.
7.退货——除非在质保期内提出有效索赔且产品或软件无法修复，否则，为买方特别设计、修改、定制或配置的产品或软件许可不得退货。买方不得退回已更改、损坏、使用或以前安装的产品。除非梅特勒托利多发货错误或买方提出有效的质保索赔，未使用的现成产品仅在买方取得梅特勒托利多批准、获得退货指令后方可退货。梅特勒托利多有权酌情选择向买方收取退货而产生的重新进货费。
7. RETURNS – Equipment, or licenses on software, that is engineered, modified, customized, or configured especially for Buyer cannot be returned unless there is a valid warranty claim and the equipment or software cannot be repaired. Buyer cannot return equipment that is altered, damaged, used, or previously installed. Unless MT makes a shipping error or Buyer makes a valid warranty claim, unused off the shelf equipment may be returned only if Buyer contacts MT for approval and return instructions prior to returning anything. At its discretion, MT may charge Buyer a restocking fee for any return.
8.撤销——经梅特勒托利多书面批准，买方可在产品或软件发货前，或服务合同开始前撤销其订单。如果买方将其资产转让给其债权人，或梅特勒托利多有理由认为买方不愿或不能履行合同时可撤销订单或要求提前付款。买方在本条所允许的情形外撤销其订单的，买方必须按照订单金额支付梅特勒托利多所有款项。买方无论何种原因撤销订单，应向梅特勒托利多支付在收到撤销通知前梅特勒托利多已产生的合理费用（包括工程费、梅特勒托利多向其供应商或分包商承诺的款项）以及梅特勒托利多通常能从类似业务获得的利润。撤销费最低为被撤销部分合同价款的百分之三十（30%）。
8. CANCELLATION – With MT's written approval, Buyer may cancel its order prior to the shipment of equipment or software, or prior to the beginning of a service contract. MT may cancel Buyer's order or require payment in advance if Buyer transfers assets for the benefit of its creditors, or if MT has reason to believe Buyer is unwilling or unable to perform its commitments. If Buyer cancels its order other than as permitted by this section, Buyer must pay MT all amounts due pursuant to the order. If Buyer's order is cancelled for any reason Buyer will pay MT for reasonable costs and expenses (including engineering expenses and all commitments to MT's suppliers and subcontractors) incurred prior to MT receiving notice of cancellation, plus MT's usual rate of profit for similar work. The minimum cancellation charge is 30% of the price.
9.变更——买方经梅特勒托利多书面同意可变更其订单。梅特勒托利多可因此变更价格及交货计划以适应买方的变更要求。如果梅特勒托利多根据买方原订单已开展工作或购买材料，即便后因买方对订单的变更使得这些工作或材料变得不必要，买方仍应为此付费。
9. CHANGES – Buyer may make changes to its order if MT consents in writing. To accommodate Buyer's request for changes MT may change pricing and delivery schedules. If MT performed work or purchased materials in anticipation of Buyer's order, and the change Buyer requests makes that work or materials unnecessary, Buyer is still responsible for paying for them.
10. 担保权益——买方同意梅特勒托利多享有买方所购买产品以及软件许可的价款担保权益：如买方不能足额及时向梅特勒托利多支付货款，梅特勒托利多可以用买方购买的产品或软件作为收回货款的担保，一旦买方不能在合理时间内清偿债务的，梅特勒托利多有权作为担保物权人以前述产品或软件的价值来实现自己的债权。买方应协助梅特勒托利多采取各种必要措施改善和保护梅特勒托利多的担保权益。如买方违约，梅特勒托利多有权行使法律上的任何权利和救济。
10. SECURITY INTEREST – Buyer grants MT a purchase money security interest in the equipment and software license it purchases, acknowledges the validity of this grant, and agrees not to challenge the legitimacy of this grant. Buyer will assist MT in taking all necessary actions to perfect and protect MT's security interest. MT is entitled to any of the rights and remedies provided by law or in equity only if Buyer defaults on its obligations to MT.
11. 质量保证—— 在梅特勒托利多未向买方就质量另行作出单独保证的情况下，梅特勒托利多对所提供的产品、软件和服务作且仅作下列保证。在法律允许的最大范围内，梅特勒托利多不作出任何其他明示或默示的保证（包括但不限于适销性或特定目的的适用性方面的保证）。非经梅特勒托利多的事先书面同意，本条所述保证不得转让给随后的产品买方或随后的软件被许可人。此外，如梅特勒托利多违反其在本合同项下之保证，下述规定将构成买方唯一的救济措施。
A.产品——梅特勒托利多保证在正常使用的情况下：(i)其产品不存在工艺缺陷和材料缺陷，质量保证期为自交货之日起十二（12）个月。如产品确实需要由梅特勒托利多指导安装调试且买卖双方在适用的合同中对此有明确的约定的，则质量保证期为自安装调试完成之日起十二（12）个月或自交货之日起十八（18）个月，以先到日期为准；以及（ii）零部件的质量保证期为交货之日起90天。
对于在本质量保证期内发现并报告的任何缺陷，梅特勒托利多有权选择以下任一救济措施：返还价款、更换产品、对产品缺陷进行补救或免费更换部件。上述措施所产生的费用由梅特勒托利多承担。在本质量保证期内，梅特勒托利多还将承担离最近梅特勒托利多服务代表或梅特勒托利多授权服务商80公里（50英里）以内因差旅而产生的费用。
B．软件——梅特勒托利多保证，如根据说明及系统要求正确安装，其所开发的软件能实质地实现软件文档描述的功能，或在缺乏软件文档的情况下另行书面约定的功能。梅特勒托利多不保证该软件不存在任何错误或买方能够不间断地操作该软件，即不保证第三方接口或系统连接到该软件将不会中断；梅特勒托利多也不保证该软件不存在任何薄弱之处以至可免受黑客入侵或病毒攻击。在梅特勒托利多未就软件质量保证期与买方另有书面沟通的情况下，软件的质量保证期与安装该软件的梅特勒托利多产品的质量保证期相同。任何其他软件或软件功能的质量保证期为交货之日起九十（90）天。为避免疑义，我们的质量保证期包括缺陷修复，但不包括任何新特性。除另有书面约定，梅特勒托利多为买方特别开发、修改或定制的软件将没有质量保证期。这些质量保证期同样适用于梅特勒托利多在未来可能会提供的任何新版软件和服务。
C. 服务——梅特勒托利多保证，其将秉持专业精神提供相关服务，其所提供的服务符合行业标准。如买方在相关服务履行完毕后的三十日（30）日内发现其有不符合规定之处且立即书面通知了梅特勒托利多，则梅特勒托利多有义务提供必要的服务、指导或咨询，以纠正该不合规定之处。
D. 一般规定——前述保证进一步适用下列一般规定：（i）耗材、配件、正常磨损、易损件、易坏品不适用前述质量保证的规定；（ii）如买方要求梅特勒托利多在非正常工作时间提供本节所述质量保证工作，则梅特勒托利多有权要求买方支付额外费用；（iii）如在梅特勒托利多产品和（或）软件之上发生下列情形则上述保证不再适用：意外事故、修改、错误使用、滥用，买方未能正确保管或按规定操作和（或）由非经梅特勒托利多授权的人员维护、安装或提供服务，将未经梅特勒托利多许可的产品添加或整合到梅特勒托利多产品、未经梅特勒托利多许可将梅特勒托利多产品整合到买方环境之中，使用买方/第三方提供的软件或界面以及其它梅特勒托利多不应为此负责的原因；（iv）梅特勒托利多不保证任何天平的校准，但梅特勒托利多保证在本质量保证期内所有由其制造的天平能够经适当调试满足梅特勒托利多产品说明书确定的规格，并在适当安装和使用的前提下实现特定型号天平的称重精度；（v）梅特勒托利多销售的、由其它制造商制造的产品，梅特勒托利多的质量保证仅限于原始制造商提供的质量保证的剩余期限；（vi）如产品经梅特勒托利多修理，则应认为该修理工作不会导致产品整体以及那些未经梅特勒托利多修理或更换的部件的质量保证期间的延长或产生新的质量保证期间。除非买方事先书面通知梅特勒托利多，且梅特勒托利多同意其保证期间仍然适用，否则产品一经转移至梅特勒托利多交货国家以外时，所有的质量保证期将无效。
E. 保证期间的缺陷纠正方法——为纠正缺陷，梅特勒托利多将尝试通过电话或电子方式诊断和解决缺陷。某些产品具有远程支持功能，买方可通过该功能直接向梅特勒托利多报告问题，梅特勒托利多可对所报告的问题进行远程确定、解决。如买方联系梅特勒托利多欲使之履行保证范围内的工作，则其须遵照梅特勒托利多规定的问题确定和解决程序。梅特勒托利多协助确定问题期间或问题确定后的任何时间，梅特勒托利多均可要求买方将问题部件或产品送回以便检测。如梅特勒托利多认为需进行现场工作，则其将派遣技术服务人员进行现场工作。对于本可远程解决的缺陷，如买方就该缺陷通知梅特勒托利多并要求其提供现场服务，或梅特勒托利多发现买方所报告的缺陷并不存在或梅特勒托利多无需为之负责，则梅特勒托利多有权要求买方为此支付相关的服务费、差旅费等费用。梅特勒托利多鼓励买方利用其所能获得的远程支持技术。未安装和使用可获得的用于直接问题报告、远程问题确定和解决的远程连接工具，可能会导致响应时间延长，需买方承当的费用也可能将随着增加。
11. WARRANTIES: ABSENT A SEPARATE WRITTEN WARRANTY MT ISSUES BUYER, MT EXPRESSLY WARRANTS ITS EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, AND SERVICES SOLELY AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, MT DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE). THESE WARRANTIES MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER OF EQUIPMENT OR A SUBSEQUENT LICENSEEE OF SOFTWARE ONLY WITH MT'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT. IN ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING CONSTITUTES BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR ANY BREACH BY MT OF THIS WARRANTY.
A. EQUIPMENT – MT warrants that under normal use: (i) its equipment, except for replacement parts, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 1 year from the date of delivery. For the products which require Company's supervision of their installation and commissioning, and provided that such supervision obligation of Company is stipulated in any of applicable contracts, the period of warranty shall be 12 month from the date of completion of the installation and commissioning, or 18 months from the date of the delivery, whichever occurs first; and (ii) replacement parts will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for 90 days from delivery. Should the defects described be found and reported during the term of the warranty, MT will, at its option, refund the purchase price, replace the equipment, or correct the defects by furnishing replacement parts and labor free of charge. Travel up to 80 kilometers (50 miles) from our nearest service representative or authorized service provider is free of charge for valid warranty claims.
B. SOFTWARE – If it is properly installed according to specifications and system requirements, MT warrants the software it develops will perform substantially the functions described in the software documentation it provides or, in the absence of any software documentation, as otherwise agreed in writing. MT does not warrant that the software is error-free, that Buyer will be able to operate the software without interruption, that third party interfaces or systems connected to the software will operate without interruption, or that the software will be free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack. Absent a separate warranty MT communicates to Buyer in writing, the warranty period for equipment operating software is the same as the warranty period for the equipment it's purchased with. The warranty period for any other software or software feature is 90 days from the date of delivery. For avoidance of doubt, our warranty includes bug fixing, but excludes any new features. Except as may be agreed otherwise in writing, MT provides no warranty for software specifically developed, amended, or customized for Buyer. These warranties also apply to any new releases and service MT may deliver in the future.
C. SERVICE – MT warrants that services will be performed in a workmanlike manner in conformity with standard industry practice. Should any nonconformity be detected within 30 days after the work is completed and Buyer gives MT prompt written notification, MT will supply the necessary service, direction, or consultation to correct the nonconformity.
D. GENERAL – The foregoing warranties are further subject to the following general conditions: (i) Consumables, accessories, normal wear and tear, wear parts, and perishables are expressly excluded. (ii) If Buyer requests warranty work during non-standard work times Buyer will be charged for premium time. (iii) These warranties do not apply where MT's equipment and/or software has been subjected to: accident, alteration, misuse, abuse, failure by Buyer to ensure proper storage, operation and/or maintenance, installation or servicing by personnel MT doesn't authorize, the addition or supply of equipment or software not approved for incorporation into MT equipment or software, environmental or operational conditions, or software or interfacing Buyer or a third party provide and any other causes MT is not responsible for. (iv) MT does not warrant the calibration of any equipment. MT does, however, warrant its equipment to be capable of being adjusted to meet MT's printed specifications, if any, for accuracy for the period of warranty above stated when properly installed and used. (v) Products of other manufacturers that MT sells are warranted by MT solely to the extent of any remaining warranty provided by the original manufacturer. (vi) If MT repairs equipment, such repair work will not extend existing nor generate new warranty coverage for the equipment as a whole or for those parts not repaired or replaced by MT. Unless Buyer gives MT written notice in advance, and MT agrees its warranty still applies, all warranties are void if product is moved outside the country MT delivered it to.
E. METHODS OF CORRECTION OF DEFECTS DURING WARRANTY – MT may attempt to diagnose and resolve defects over the telephone or electronically. Certain equipment contains remote support capabilities for direct problem reporting, remote problem determination, and resolution. When Buyer contacts MT for warranty work, Buyer must follow the problem determination, resolution, and procedure that MT specifies. MT may require return of the part or equipment to its depot for service or to assist in problem determination. If MT determines on-site work is required, a service technician will be scheduled. If Buyer gives MT notice of a defect and requests on-site work when the defect could have been remedied remotely, or if MT responds to Buyer's notice of defect and no defect is found for which MT is liable, MT is entitled to compensation for any work performed and costs it incurred as a result of Buyer's request. Failure to install and use available remote connectivity tools and equipment for direct problem reporting, remote problem determination, and resolution may result in increased response-time and additional costs to Buyer.
12.赔偿——如果伤害或损害符合以下条件，梅特勒托利多将支付买方直接因第三方人身伤害（包括死亡）或对第三方财产损害而产生的损失：（i）发生在梅特勒托利多服务工作过程中；（ii）发生于买方财产之上；以及（iii）完全因梅特勒托利多的过失行为或疏忽造成。梅特勒托利多支付的损失可能包括合理诉讼费用以及指控或诉讼的和解费用。梅特勒托利多赔偿买方损失的义务仅在买方应当合理预期损失且将该等损失及时书面通知了梅特勒托利多时产生。如果买方要求梅特勒托利多赔偿损失，则意味着买方授予梅特勒托利多就该指控进行抗辩、和解或达成妥协的独有且排他的权利；同时，当梅特勒托利多认为有必要时，买方应在所有指控的抗辩中配合梅特勒托利多。
12. INDEMNITY – MT will pay Buyer for Buyer's losses that arise directly from a third party's bodily injury (including death) or damage to a third party's property if the injury or damage: (i) occurred in the course of MT's work; (ii) occurred on Buyer's property; and (iii) was exclusively caused by MT's negligent act or omission. Losses MT pays for may include reasonable legal fees and settlements of claim or suit. MT's obligation to pay for Buyer's losses arise only if Buyer gives MT prompt written notice of the loss, based on when Buyer should have reasonably anticipated the loss. If Buyer asks MT to pay for its loss it gives MT the sole and exclusive right to manage the defense of any claim related to it, and MT is authorized to settle or compromise such claims at its sole and exclusive discretion; and Buyer must cooperate in the defense of all claims as MT deems necessary.
13. 专利侵权——梅特勒托利多保护买方不会因购买或使用本合同项下梅特勒托利多设计的产品、软件或部件而被第三方指控为专利侵权。梅特勒托利多负有该等义务的前提是：（a）买方受到第三方该类指控，买方立即书面通知了梅特勒托利多并就该指控向梅特勒托利多提供了相应授权、信息和为该类指控抗辩的必要协助；以及（b）所谓的侵权并非因买方特别要求的设计或特殊需求而导致，也不因买方或其他人应用或使用产品或软件而导致。梅特勒托利多享有就该指控进行抗辩、和解或达成妥协的独有且排他的权利。如法院或仲裁部门确认梅特勒托利多负有责任，同时买方未采取任何影响到梅特勒托利多应对此控诉或解决事端能力的行动，则梅特勒托利多将支付所有应对指控的费用，承担诉讼或仲裁所确认的责任。一旦从买方处收到针对产品、软件或部件的专利侵权指控，则梅特勒托利多有权自担费用作以下任何一种选择：i)替买方取得使用该产品、软件或部件的权利;ii)用不会构成专利侵权的产品、软件替代侵权产品、软件；iii)对侵权产品、软件或部件进行更改，使之不侵权；iv)收回侵权产品、软件或部件，退还货款、运输费及安装费。前述内容即为发生专利侵权时梅特勒托利多应对买方承担的全部责任。
13. PATENT INFRINGEMENT – MT will defend any suit brought against Buyer if it is based on a valid claim that equipment or software of MT's design that Buyer purchased under this contract, or any part thereof, constitutes an infringement of any applicable patent. MT's obligation arises only if: (a) Buyer promptly notifies MT of the claim, in writing, and gives MT the authority, information, and assistance necessary to defend the claim; and (b) the alleged infringement is not the result of a design or other special requirement specified by Buyer, or the result of the application or the use to which Buyer or others put the equipment or software. MT will pay all damages and costs finally awarded against Buyer only if MT has the exclusive right to defend, settle, or compromise the suit and Buyer takes no action that damages MT's ability to conduct an effective defense, settlement, or compromise. Upon receiving notice from Buyer of an allegation that equipment, software, or a part infringes any patent, MT may, at its expense and option, either: (i) obtain for Buyer the right to continue using such equipment, software, or part; (ii) replace the equipment, software, or part with non-infringing equipment, software, or part; (iii) modify the equipment, software, or part so that it becomes non infringing; or (iv) remove the equipment, software, or part and refund the purchase price and all related transportation and installation costs. This is MT's entire liability to Buyer for patent infringement.
14.规范性法律和标准——梅特勒托利多遵守相关法律的规定。梅特勒托利多应采取合理措施使其产品符合可能会对买方使用其产品产生影响的法规和标准。但梅特勒托利多认识到其提供的产品使用于众多受管制的领域，而相关标准和法规时常是彼此冲突的，因此梅特勒托利多不许诺或承诺其产品符合所有的法律、司法解释、行政法规、部门规章、地方法规、地方政府规章、条例、法令、通知或标准，除非它们系经买方和梅特勒托利多双方授权的代表以书面形式特别约定并达成了书面协议。买方根据所有相关的法律和法规，负责正确安装、操作和校准产品。
14. REGULATORY LAWS AND OR STANDARDS – MT behaves in accordance with relevant laws. MT also takes reasonable steps to keep its equipment compliant with standards and regulations that may apply to Buyer's use of MT's products. However, MT's equipment is utilized in many regulated applications and from time to time applicable standards and regulations are in conflict with each other. MT makes no promise or representation that its equipment will conform to any laws, regulations, codes, or standards, except as explicitly specified and agreed upon in writing by an authorized officer. Buyer is responsible for the correct installation, operation, and calibration of the equipment in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
15.产品手册——买方须按照 梅特勒托利多供货时一并提供的安装信息、产品和系统手册、操作和安全指南以及其它文件和规范进行操作。否则，梅特勒托利多有权不承担任何责任，包括质保责任。
15. PRODUCT MANUALS – It is essential for Buyer to follow the installation information, product and system manuals, operating and safety instructions, and other documentation and specifications MT provides with the equipment; MT disclaims any liability, including warranty liability, if Buyer does not.
16. 知识产权归属——除非梅特勒托利多明确地做出相反的书面同意，否则关于产品、软件和（或）服务所包含的任何专利、版权、商标、技术、设计、规格、以及其他知识产权的所有权均归属于梅特勒托利多。除了在适用的最终用户协议中另有规定，软件许可权系限于约定用途的一项非独占、不可转让、不得再授权的权利。
16. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY – Unless MT expressly agrees in a writing to the contrary, MT does not transfer to Buyer any right of ownership in any patents, copyrights, trademarks, technologies, designs, specifications, drawings, or other intellectual property relating to the equipment, software, and/or services. Except as otherwise provided in an applicable EULA, the software license rights granted are non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and limited to use for agreed purposes only.
17.赔偿免责声明——在任何情况下，梅特勒托利多都不会对买方或任何其他方的特殊的、继起性的、间接的、附属的损失以及惩罚性的赔偿承担责任。无论该种赔偿源于违约、保修、侵权（包括过失）、严格责任还是其它，也无论本合同是否已无法实现其根本目的。该种赔偿包括但不限于利润或收入损失，使用产品或配套产品及软件的损失，替换产品、软件或设施的成本，停机时间成本，建设成本增加，声誉损害，客户流失或买方客户或承包商就前述事项提出的指控。在确保梅特勒托利多的担保权益得到实现的情况下，买方方可将本合同项下出售的产品或许可的软件转让或租赁给第三方。
17. DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES–IN NO EVENT WILL MT BE LIABLE TO BUYER OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY TYPE OF SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF OR ARE A RESULT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CONTRACT WOULD FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Such damages include but are not limited to loss of profits or revenues, loss of use of the equipment or associated equipment and software, cost of substitute equipment or software, facilities, down time costs, increased construction costs, damage to reputation, loss of customers, or claims of Buyer's customers or contractors for such damages. Buyer may not transfer, assign, or lease the equipment or software sold or licensed under this contract to any third party without first securing from them the protection afforded to MT in this section.
18. 责任限制——对于因买方或第三方的行为或疏忽（无论是过失还是其他原因）引起的损失、索赔、费用、损害，梅特勒托利多均不负责任。在任何情形下，与梅特勒托利多根据本标准条款向买方销售的产品、许可的软件或提供服务相关的各种赔偿或损失，梅特勒托利多应承担的责任累计不超过引起索赔的产品/服务的合同金额。
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – MT is not liable for any loss, claim, expense, or damage caused by, contributed to, or arising out of the acts or omissions of Buyer or third parties, whether negligent or otherwise. In no event will MT's aggregate liability for any and all types of damages or losses related to this contract or the equipment, software, or services sold, licensed, or delivered pursuant hereto exceed the cost of the item giving rise to the claim, whether based in contract, warranty, indemnity, or tort (including negligence).
19. 对免费提供的信息或协助免责——除非有欺诈性虚假陈述，否则，梅特勒托利多非因本合同要求而向买方提供的任何信息、帮助或建议，并不应被理解为梅特勒托利多的义务，梅特勒托利多对此亦不承担任何责任。
19. NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR GRATUITOUS INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE – Except for fraudulent misrepresentations, MT is not responsible for any information, assistance, or advice given to Buyer if such information, assistance, or advice was not required by this contract.
20. 保险——经买方请求，梅特勒托利多可向买方提供包含标准责任范围、限制或附加限制的合理保险证明。买方同意对相关信息予以严格保密。梅特勒托利多无意使第三方直接从该保险中受益，亦无意使其获得与保险相关的额外权利，比如指定额外被保险人。
20. INSURANCE – Upon request, MT will provide reasonable evidence of insurance showing its standard coverage and limits or relevant sublimits. Buyer agrees to keep such information strictly confidential. MT does not provide third parties direct access to its insurance or give additional rights to its insurance, such as naming additional insured parties.
21. 不可抗力——除买方所应支付的货款，若本合同任一当事人因超出其能合理控制的原因而未履行或迟延履行合同义务的，则其在本合同项下应履行义务的时间做合理延长。火灾、洪水、地震、叛乱、爆炸、战争、暴乱、骚乱、恐怖活动、紧急事件、物料短缺、气候异常、法律变动等均属于前述所称的原因，但这些并未穷尽超出合同任意一方合理控制的全部原因。
21. FORCE MAJEURE – Except for payments owed by Buyer, the period for performance of this contract will be reasonably extended if a party defaults or is delayed in performing their obligations under this contract, for reasons beyond their reasonable control. Strikes, insurrection, acts of God, war, terrorist activities, emergencies, shortages or unavailability of materials, weather, change in law, and other similar causes are among the reasons, but are not the only reasons, that are beyond a party's reasonable control.
22.出口控制——买方承认并认可，梅特勒托利多的产品或软件可能包含受欧洲 、美国、产品交付地或使用地国家出口管制的技术或软件。如买方出口或再出口这些产品或软件，买方应独自负责遵守这些限制性规定。买方同意，如其自己及其员工、顾问、代理商或客户违反这些出口限制并因此给梅特勒托利多造成损害，则买方将向梅特勒托利多做出赔偿，使之免受损害。
22. EXPORT CONTROL - Buyer acknowledges that the equipment or software may include technologies and software that are subject to export control regulations in Europe, the United States of America, or other countries in which the equipment or software is delivered or used. Buyer is solely responsible for complying with these restrictions if it exports or re-exports the equipment or software. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold MT harmless from any violation of export restrictions by Buyer or Buyer's employees, consultants, agents, or customers cause.
23. 解释——即使本合同中的任何条款和条件相互抵触或根据相关法律被确定为无效，该合同条款和条件并不因此而无效，而应被解释为本合同不包含该条款和条件。该无效、不合法或不可执行的条款应被视为经自动修改后包含在本条款和条件之中，该修改应至少达到能使该条款有效、合法且可执行的程度。梅特勒托利多对任何与本条款或条件不符之处放弃追究或免予追究不构成对任何先前的或随后的不符之处放弃追究或免予追究。
23. INTERPRETATION – If any of these terms and conditions conflicts with or is invalid under applicable law, these terms and conditions will be read as if such term or provision was not included. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision will be deemed automatically modified and, as so modified, included in these terms and conditions. Such modifications will be made to the minimum extent necessary to make the provision valid, legal, and enforceable. MT's waiver or excuse of any noncompliance with these terms and conditions does not constitute a waiver or excuse of any prior or subsequent noncompliance.
24.法律适用和管辖地——合同当事人履行本合同及双方之间的法律关系应适用梅特勒托利多订单文件中确认的梅特勒托利多所在地法律。梅特勒托利多所在地法院拥有排他性管辖权。本合同明确排除《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》的适用。

If Buyer resells equipment to a third party, it will be considered the distributor of the equipment under applicable laws and must assume all obligations relating thereto, including but not limited to the following: (i) keep all documents and information necessary to retrace or recall equipment sold to third parties for a minimum of 10 years; (ii) immediately inform MT of any complaints or adverse incidents related to the equipment, and promptly comply with all directions MT gives regarding the investigation or handling of the matter; and (iii) comply with all applicable storage and transportation duties.
