Standard Terms and Conditions

LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (“Supplier”) agrees to sell products to “Customer” according to these Standard Terms and Conditions and an applicable product commitment (collectively, the “Terms”).

1. Shipping and Returns. Unless otherwise agreed, Products will be shipped FOB Supplier’s shipping point. Products may be returned subject to Supplier’s Return Policy, https://www.lemaitre.com/return-policy-us-customers.
2. Limited Warranty. Supplier warrants that reasonable care has been used in the manufacture of the Products. Except as explicitly provided herein, SUPPLIER AND ITS EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, AND AGENTS MAKE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) AND HEREBY DISCLAIM THE SAME. SUPPLIER FURTHER DISCLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS, INCLUDING DEATH, RESULTING FROM THE USE OR IMPLANTATION OF THE PRODUCTS. Supplier makes no representation regarding the suitability of a Product for any particular treatment. This determination is the sole responsibility of Customer. Supplier does not warrant that the Products will be error free or that the body will not react adversely to the Products. Customer is responsible for reviewing all applicable inserts, labels, instructions for use and other information made available by Supplier for the Products. Product in-servicing, if any, is provided only as a courtesy, and Supplier assumes no responsibility or liability for the content of the instruction. This limited warranty does not apply to the extent of any Acts of God, abuse or misuse of any Product, modification to any Product, use of any Product not in accordance with its instructions for use, or failure to properly store any Product by Customer or any third party. The only remedy for a breach of this limited warranty shall be replacement of, or refund of the purchase price for, the applicable Product (at Supplier’s sole option) following Customer’s return of the Product to Supplier. This limited warranty, with respect to any Product, shall terminate on the expiration date of such Product, unless an earlier date is specified in a Product’s instructions for use or manual, in which case it will terminate on such earlier date. 
3. Tissues. To the extent that any Products are derived from human tissue, any references to tissues or tissue services do not refer to the purchase and sale of human tissue, but instead refer to the payment of recovery and processing fees for the tissue by Customer to Supplier and the distribution of tissue from Supplier to Customer. 
4. Adverse Experiences and Recalls. If recall or modification of any Products sold to Customer is required by the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or voluntarily recommended or required by Supplier, Customer agrees to cooperate with and assist Supplier in locating, retrieving, returning such Products. Supplier will pay for the shipment of such Products to Supplier’s facility. Supplier shall notify Customer in writing of such recall or modification promptly, but in no event later than such time as required by the FDA. Customer shall promptly report to Supplier any complaints or other information regarding the Products of which it becomes aware that could reasonably be expected to be a reportable event by calling 800.628.9470 or emailing CSUS@lemaitre.com.

6. Indemnification. Each Party will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other Party, its officers, directors, employees, and managers, against third party claims, actions or causes of actions, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of the indemnifying Party or its employees, agents, or independent contractors in the performance or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms. A Party shall not be entitled to invoke the foregoing rights of indemnification to the extent that the claim, damage, liability, injury, expense or loss arises as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of that Party. Additionally, in the case of Customer, Customer shall not be entitled to invoke the foregoing rights of indemnification to the extent that the claim, damage, liability, injury, expense or loss arises as a result of (i) its use of any Product in a manner other than as set forth in such Product’s instructions for use, (ii) its, or any third parties’ failure to properly store such Product, or (iii) its abuse or misuse or modification to any Product. The provisions of this section will survive expiration or termination of these Terms. In the event an indemnifiable claim is asserted or lawsuit filed, the indemnified party shall provide the indemnifying party with (i) prompt notice of any indemnifiable loss or claim, (ii) the option to assume the defense of any indemnified claim, and (iii) the right to approve or reject the settlement of any indemnified claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for attorneys’ fees thereafter incurred by the indemnified party. No Party hereto shall settle any claim or action on behalf of another Party hereto without the other Party’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
