Customer’s ordering of Products or Services from Signify constitutes acceptance of these Terms, as such Terms may have been updated through the date of such order.

(b) Products and Services may include web or mobile applications that may be subject to additional terms (“Additional Use Terms”) or software that may be subject to additional (end-user) software license conditions (“EULAs”), both from either Signify or an affiliate, or third parties. Such EULAs or Additional Use Terms will be made available together with the web or mobile application or software, as applicable. Except where specified otherwise in a EULA or Additional Use Terms, such EULA or Additional Use Terms will form part of the Agreement. Software will not be sold to Customer, but licensed subject to the license terms in section 10 below.
(c) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and the terms of any Agreement or Offer the terms of such Agreement or Offer will prevail.  With respect to web or mobile applications or software, any Additional Use Terms or the terms of any applicable EULA will prevail over these Terms.

The terms "includes" or "including" will be construed without limitation to the generality of preceding words. 
(e) Any different or additional terms in any purchase order, blanket instructions, terms of purchase or other writing from Customer will be deemed a material alteration of these Terms and are expressly objected to and rejected and will be of no force or effect. Commencement of performance or shipment will not be construed as acceptance of any of Customer's terms or conditions. Course of performance or usage of trade will not be applied to modify these Terms.

(g) Offers by Signify are open for acceptance within the period stated in such Offer or, in the event that no period is stated, within thirty (30) days from the date of the Offer, provided that Signify may amend, withdraw or revoke any Offer at any time prior to the receipt by Signify of the acceptance of an Offer. No order submitted by Customer will be deemed final or accepted by Signify unless and until confirmed by Signify. 
(h) Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy of any order, including with respect to the specification, configuration or other requirements of Products and Services, and functionality, compatibility and interoperability with other products (not authorized by Signify), as well as fitness for particular use.

(j) Products will be supplied in accordance with the standard functionalities, styles and sizes as described in Signify’s catalogs or, for special or made-to-order Products, in accordance with Signify’s drawings and specifications sheets. In the event of a conflict between an order of Customer and a drawing or specification sheet from Signify approved by Customer, the latter will prevail.

(b) Customer shall note any damage to Products caused in transit, or shortages thereto, on transport documentation immediately upon receipt of Products, with due regard to applicable instructions by Signify or the carrier. All Products delivered under the Agreement will be deemed accepted by Customer as conforming to the Agreement, and Customer will have no right to revoke any acceptance, unless Customer provides Signify notice of a claimed nonconformity within seven (7) days of the date of delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any use of a Product by Customer or its customers after delivery will constitute acceptance of that Product by Customer. Signify shall at its option and within a reasonable time, correct nonconformities by either repair, make available parts, replace or deliver missing Products, or credit the Price paid by Customer for undelivered Products.
(c) Minor Nonconformities will not prevent or suspend acceptance by Customer of the Products, Services or both, and Signify shall correct these within a reasonable time. “Minor Nonconformities” are nonconformities or anomalies that do not hinder the overall operation and intended use of Products or Services in accordance with the specifications.

In the event of any unauthorized actions, Signify may suspend the Services until the equipment or software has been restored to its original compliant state and charge Customer on the basis of a Variation, and until confirmed any warranty obligations of Signify with respect to such Services will be null and void. Any changes to equipment or software owned by Signify (or its licensors) will be exclusively owned by Signify (or its licensors), even if such changes have been performed by or for Customer.

Unless otherwise agreed, all IPR in and to the Documentation is retained by Signify or a Signify nominee. Customer shall not use, publish, copy or disclose the Documentation except in accordance with these Terms.

This section applies where Signify (or its subcontractor) will perform construction, cabling or installation activities (“Installation” or “Install”) or other Services at a site owned or controlled by Customer.
(a) Customer is responsible for the timely completion of preparatory works and site preparations in conformity with requirements set by Signify.

Until legal title to Products has passed to Customer, Customer shall (i) not assimilate, transfer or pledge any of the Products, or grant any right or title in the Products to any third party, except in the normal course of business and against payment or subject to retention of title; and (ii) ensure that the Products remain identifiable as Products owned by Signify.

If a Force Majeure event occurs, Signify’s performance will be suspended for the period of such Force Majeure event. “Force Majeure” means any circumstances or occurrences beyond the reasonable control of Signify, whether or not foreseeable at the time of an Agreement, as a result of which Signify cannot reasonably perform or execute its obligations, including, without limitation, acts of God, natural catastrophes including earthquake, lightning, hurricane, typhoon, flooding or volcanic activities or extreme weather conditions, strikes, lock-outs, war, terrorism, political situation, civil unrest, riots, sabotage, vandalism, industry-wide shortages, breakdown of plant or machinery, fault or loss of electricity supply, cyber attacks and hacking or non-performance by suppliers of Signify or by other third parties on which Services rely (including connectivity and communication services). In the event that Force Majeure event extends (or is reasonably expected by Signify to extend) for a period of three (3) consecutive months, Signify will be entitled to cancel all or any part of an Agreement without any liability towards Customer.

(a) In most instances, Signify Products are sold subject to an applicable standard limited warranty either accompanying the product or as published on Signify’s website as the standard warranty applicable for a particular Product (the “Standard Product Warranty”). For any Product that is sold by Signify that is not subject to an applicable Standard Product Warranty, Signify warrants only that for one (1) year from delivery to Customer the Products will be free from Defects. For any Services that are performed by Signify, Signify warrants only that for thirty (30) days from the performance, the Service will be free from Defects (except in respect of Installation where this thirty (30) days’ warranty period will commence upon acceptance as set out in section 6(c). A "Defect" (or “Defective”) means, in relation to a Product, that a Product has any defect in material or workmanship which causes the Product to fail to operate in accordance with the specifications provided by Signify, with consideration given to the overall performance of the Product and, in relation to Services, means that the Service has not been performed in a competent, diligent manner.   
(b) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Signify does not provide any warranty for third party products, products not marked with the PHILIPS trademark or with trademarks owned by Signify, nor for third party software, applications or services, or customized Products.
(c) Customer acknowledges that EULAs or Additional Use Terms may limit the warranty period for software (including web or mobile applications). 
(d) In order to be entitled to make a valid claim under warranty, Customer shall promptly notify Signify of alleged Defective Products or Defective Services prior to expiration of the warranty period. In the event that Signify decides, in its sole discretion, that a claim under warranty is valid, Signify shall, within a reasonable time, at its own option, repair or offer replacement products for Defective Products, or remedy or supplement any Defective Services. If despite reasonable efforts of Signify, a Defective Product cannot be repaired, no replacement product can be supplied or Defective Services cannot be remedied or supplemented, Signify shall make an appropriate refund or credit of monies paid by Customer for those Defective Products or Defective Services. Repairs, replacements or remedies will not extend or renew the applicable warranty period. Customer shall obtain consent from Signify on the specifications of any tests it plans to conduct to determine whether a Defect exists. Replacement products supplied by Signify may have minor deviations in design and/or specifications which do not affect the functionality of replaced Product. In respect of any replaced or credited Products, Signify may, in its sole discretion, either claim the property of replaced or credited Products and require Customer to return these to Signify, or instruct Customer to destroy these at Customer’s costs. 
(e) Customer shall bear the costs of access for remedial warranty efforts by Signify, including removal and replacement of systems, structures or other parts of Customer’s facility, the de-installation of Defective Products, and the re-installation of replacement products. Customer shall not return Products to Signify without consent of Signify and unless in accordance with applicable Signify’ return policies. In the event that Signify decides that a claim under warranty is not valid, Customer will bear the costs incurred by Signify in handling and testing, and the transport of Products returned.
(f) Any indemnification and warranty obligations of Signify under an Agreement are conditional upon (i) proper storage, installation, use, operation, and maintenance of Products, all in accordance with user manuals, warranty policies and other instructions or terms communicated by Signify to Customer; (ii) Customer keeping accurate and complete records of operation and maintenance during the warranty period and providing Signify access to those records; and (iii) modification or repair of Products or Services only as authorized by Signify. Failure to meet these conditions renders the warranty null and void. Signify will not be responsible for normal wear and tear and environmental or stress testing. The warranty provided in this section 9 does not apply to damage or failure to perform arising as a result of any Force Majeure or from any abuse, misuse, abnormal use, improper power supply, powers surges or fluctuations, corrosive environments, neglect, exposure or any use or installation in violation of the instructions or restrictions prescribed by Signify or any applicable standard or code.
(g) Any indemnification and warranty obligation of Signify under an Agreement will not establish, by themselves, any liability to third parties or the public. Nothing in an Agreement will be construed to create any obligation, standard of care or liability to persons or third parties. 
(h) If a recall, retrofit, update, withdrawal or any other remedial action related to any Product is required, Customer shall fully cooperate and shall provide such assistance as Signify may require. Customer shall keep accurate books and records to assure traceability of the Products in the event of a Product recall or any other remedial actions.
