Depending on the circumstances, remedies may include replacement; repair where appropriate; refund or credit; collection of affected goods; or other agreed corrective action. Remedies are subject to the contract and applicable law. The Supplier must not require unsafe or unlawful return transport of dangerous goods.

NRH Chemicals may review supplier performance based on product quality, delivery reliability, pricing accuracy, documentation, communication, complaint resolution, safety compliance, regulatory compliance and responsiveness. Performance concerns may be discussed with the Supplier.

NRH Chemicals may request reasonable information to verify compliance with applicable requirements. Any on-site audit or access to confidential supplier records requires an applicable contractual right or separate agreement and must be conducted in accordance with relevant legal and confidentiality obligations.
Either party may terminate this agreement by giving 30 days' written notice, unless otherwise agreed. Termination does not automatically cancel purchase orders already accepted.
Either party may terminate immediately by written notice where the other party commits a material breach that cannot be remedied, or where continued performance would be unlawful. For a remediable material breach, the affected party must ordinarily provide written notice and a reasonable opportunity to remedy the breach before terminating, unless immediate termination is permitted by law or another agreed provision. Accrued rights and obligations survive termination.
Where a dispute arises, the parties agree to make reasonable efforts to resolve it through good-faith discussions. The dispute should initially be referred to the relevant commercial contacts and, if unresolved, escalated to management. Either party may seek urgent legal relief where necessary. Nothing in this clause prevents a party from exercising rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.
Neither party excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful. Any additional liability caps, indemnities or exclusions must be expressly agreed in writing. This agreement does not create an automatic general limitation of liability for either party.
This agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. The parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and courts hearing appeals from those courts.
This document, its completed schedules and accepted purchase orders form the agreement between the parties for the matters they cover, subject to any separately executed agreement expressly given precedence. Amendments must be agreed in writing by authorised representatives of both parties. Neither party may unilaterally change an accepted purchase order.
Formal notices under this agreement must be sent to the nominated business contacts or other addresses subsequently confirmed in writing. A notice sent by email is treated as received when it reaches the recipient's designated email system, unless the sender receives an automated delivery failure notification, subject to applicable law.
