20. LABORATORY TESTING SERVICES: The following terms and conditions will apply to all orders for laboratory testing services:
(a) Project Scheduling Requirements. Services will be scheduled by West when West has received the following items from Buyer: (i) a written purchase order; (ii) all Buyer-supplied method(s); (iii) Material Safety Data Sheets and/or safe handling and disposal requirements for all materials to be tested, if available; (iv) approved and signed protocol(s) (where applicable), whether the protocol was developed by West or supplied by Buyer; (v) any Buyer-supplied standard operating procedures and (vi) sufficient sample product to complete the services and meet all retention requirements, allowing for possible repeat testing. If all samples cannot be run at one-time, multiple instrument set up and sample preparation charges will be applied. West reserves the right to amend the fees if any sample requires additional preparation or other unforeseen work.
(b) Sample Delivery. All shipping charges, brokerage fees and related expenses will be the responsibility of Buyer. Buyer will bear the risk of loss or damage to all samples until delivered to a West employee. West will notify Buyer if any samples are missing or appear damaged, contaminated or improperly preserved when delivered and Buyer will bear the risk of loss for that sample. West reserves the right to refuse acceptance or to rescind acceptance of any sample, which West believes is likely to pose an unreasonable risk in handling. Buyer represents and warrants that it will: (i) inform West of any known safety hazards associated with the test samples; (ii) assume full responsibility for taking all necessary health and safety precautions in delivering the materials to be tested; and (iii) any sample containing any hazardous substance to be delivered to West will be packaged, labeled, transported and delivered in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. All samples containing drug product must be accompanied by an MSDS. If an MSDS is not received by West with the shipment or within 24 hours of receipt, the shipment will be returned at Buyer’s expense.
(c) Sample Retention. After the services have been completed and a report has been delivered, samples can either be returned, destroyed or retained by West, depending on what instruction Buyer has provided to West; in the absence of any instructions, West shall follow its SOPs regrading samples. West may charge a fee for long-term storage of samples. At West’s sole discretion, and at Buyer’s sole expense, West may return to Buyer unused portions of samples found or suspected to be hazardous.
(d) Reports. After the services have been completed, West will provide Buyer with a factually correct analytical report in standard contract lab analytical test format for the samples as submitted. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, West will retain the report for five years. Any retention beyond this period may result in an additional storage charge. Use of West’s name in connection with any unauthorized use of West reports is prohibited and the publishing of West’s name without West’s prior written consent is prohibited.
(e) Operating Procedures; Certifications; Methods. West will perform all services in accordance with West’s Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”) and General Operating Procedures (“GOPs”). It is Buyer’s sole responsibility to confirm that West’s SOPs and GOPs meet Buyer’s needs prior to the commencement of the services by West. West encourages Buyer to review West’s SOPs and GOPs at West’s corporate headquarters to ensure that they will meet Buyer’s needs. Alternatively, if stated in the quotation and when provided to West in writing, West may perform the services in accordance with Buyer’s SOPs and GOPs. If applicable and when detailed in the quotation, the services may be conducted in accordance with CGMPs (Current Good Manufacturing Practices). If applicable, a Certification of Compliance to CGMPs may be provided for any regulatory agencies. A debarment statement may be provided if required for a submission to the United States Food and Drug Administration. West may use compendial methods or other methods when performing the services; however, Buyer must notify West in writing prior to the start of the services to specify which methods are to be used. Buyer supplied methods must be “transferred” via an interlaboratory qualification which includes a written protocol. This will provide for appropriate equipment use and analyst training to ensure reproducible results, particularly for methods which require specific instrumentation and technique.
(f) Out-of-Specification Results. Any Out-of-Specification (“OOS”) results will be handled as per West’s SOP unless otherwise directed by Buyer in writing. Once an OOS result is obtained (confirmed by preliminary investigations, eliminating the possibility of any assignable laboratory errors) an investigation will start and Buyer will be contacted promptly for their input regarding the investigation and the number of samples to be retested. If the Buyer does not want any further investigation and retesting, the investigation will be closed and the OOS results will be reported. Buyer will not be charged for this preliminary investigation. If Buyer wants further investigation and retesting of samples, West will complete the investigations and perform 3 retests at no cost, provided that the problem was found to be laboratory related although not assignable. If it is determined that West was not the cause of the error, Buyer will pay for all retesting at the quoted test rate. In addition, Buyer is also responsible for the cost of the investigation report at the quoted rate. Additional testing as directed by Buyer will be charged at the standard unit cost.
(g) Litigation. Buyer will pay all costs West incurs to comply with any subpoena or other official request for documents, for testimony in a court of law, or for any other purpose relating to services West performs for Buyer.
(h) Laboratory Visits. Buyer’s authorized representatives may visit those portions of West’s facilities used to perform the services, upon advanced notice and at reasonable times during West’s normal working hours.
(i) Subcontracting. West may subcontract any of the services under this Agreement with Buyer’s prior consent.
