Cimarron, at its sole option, has the right to inspect all or a sample of the Deliverables, and has the right to reject all or any portion of the Deliverables if it determines that the Deliverables are nonconforming or defective. Cimarron’s failure to inspect shall not constitute a waiver of any of Cimarron’s rights or remedies or relieve Supplier of any of its obligations under this Order.

If Cimarron rejects any portion of the Deliverables, Cimarron has the right to (a) cancel or rescind this Order in its entirety, (b) accept the Deliverables at a mutually agreed price, or (c) reject the Deliverables and require replacement of the rejected Deliverables.

Invoices must delineate the type of tax being charged and if the tax is one that is legally the liability of Supplier but is being passed through to Cimarron, the invoice must denote that such tax is being passed through.

Unless otherwise set forth in this Order, (a) Supplier shall issue a complete and correct invoice within sixty (60) days following delivery / completion of the Deliverables; and (b) Cimarron shall pay all property invoiced amounts due to Supplier within sixty (60) days after Cimarron’s receipt of such invoice, except for any amounts disputed by Cimarron in good faith. After sixty (60) days from Cimarron’s receipt of invoice, Supplier may not revise or amend an invoice or otherwise assert an invoice is inaccurate with the result of increasing in the amount due by Cimarron. Time calculation shall begin on the date a correct invoice in full compliance with the invoicing requirements herein is received by Cimarron, and any resulting due date falling on a weekend or holiday shall move to next business day. Supplier shall continue performing its obligations under this Order notwithstanding any payment dispute. Unless otherwise set forth in this Order, Cimarron is not required to pay any invoice prior to Deliverables being delivered or completed and accepted. Supplier waives its right to payment for any amounts not invoiced within sixty (60) days following final delivery/completion of Deliverables.

All of Supplier’s invoices must be: (a) directed to the address specified on this Order; (b) reference this Order’s number; and, (c) accompanied by documentation supporting all amounts invoiced. Payment is not final acceptance of Deliverables nor is it a waiver by Cimarron of any of its rights or remedies under this Order or any applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, should Supplier submit an invoice containing line-item pricing less than the Price, the pricing for this Order is amended without the requirement of a formal amendment with signatures by both parties to the lowest price.
