Cirrus Logic, Inc. 販売契約条件
-
General. These terms of sale (the “Terms”) apply to the provision of Products (as defined below), including those provided free of charge, in addition to all quotations made by and purchase orders acknowledged in writing by Cirrus Logic, Inc. (“Cirrus Logic”) to the purchasing party (or party receiving free of charge Products, as the case may be) (“Buyer”) for goods (collectively “Products”) and are hereby incorporated by reference into such quotations and acknowledgements. Any purchase order submitted by Buyer in response to a quotation by Cirrus Logic shall be treated as an acceptance of the quotation and these Terms regardless of any preprinted terms in such purchase order. These Terms shall be deemed accepted on receipt of free of charge Products. If these Terms are included or referenced in a confirmation by Cirrus Logic to either a conditional acceptance by Buyer or a purchase order submitted to Cirrus Logic other than in response to a quotation, then these Terms constitute a counteroffer by Cirrus Logic, the acceptance of which is expressly limited to these Terms. All of these Terms supersede and replace all of the terms of Buyer’s purchase order (or similar order documentation), if any, and Buyer’s acceptance of or payment for Products constitutes Buyer’s acceptance of these Terms. These Terms shall apply whether or not they are attached to or enclosed with Products to be sold or otherwise provided hereunder. No order shall be finalized until Cirrus Logic has sent Buyer a confirmation of the order. The “Agreement” is comprised of (i) the quotation made by Cirrus Logic (if any), (ii) these Terms and (iii) any particular terms of Cirrus Logic’s confirmation, such as the particular delivery location, quantities, shipment sizes or delivery schedule.
-
Order Process. All orders for Products must meet the minimum order quantities (and multiples thereof), specified by Cirrus Logic from time to time. In the case of wafer purchases, the minimum order quantity shall be measured in ‘Units’ (or multiples thereof). A ‘Unit’ shall mean a good tested die. Cirrus Logic reserves the right to make changes at any time to the specification of the Products, provided such changes do not materially affect the installation, or performance thereof. Any such change shall not invalidate any order placed with Cirrus Logic prior to such change being implemented, or render Cirrus Logic liable to Buyer in any way whatsoever.
-
Payment. If Cirrus Logic has extended credit to Buyer, all invoices are due and payable 30 days from the invoice date. No discounts are authorized. Payment must be made in US dollars. Each delivery will be considered a separate and independent transaction for which payment will be due and payable. Cirrus Logic may transmit invoices by facsimile, email, or other electronic means. If Buyer fails to make any payment when due, Cirrus Logic may immediately suspend or cancel performance under any agreements in which Cirrus Logic has extended credit to Buyer. If, in the reasonable judgment of Cirrus Logic, the financial condition of Buyer at any time does not justify continuation of production or deliveries on credit, then Cirrus Logic may provide written notice to Buyer and require Buyer to provide adequate assurances that Cirrus Logic’s invoices will be paid in accordance with these Terms. Cirrus Logic may suspend any performance under the Agreement until such assurances are provided. Termination or suspension of performance under this Section shall not affect Cirrus Logic’s right to pursue any other available remedies.
-
Delivery. All delivery dates are estimates only, and deliveries may be made in installments. Cirrus Logic will be excused from performance and not be liable for delay in delivery or for non-delivery, in whole or in part, caused by the occurrence of any contingency beyond Cirrus Logic’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, fire or explosion; flood, storm, or other act of God; war (whether or not an actual declaration of war is made); epidemic; sabotage; insurrection, riot or other act of civil disobedience; act of public enemy; act of any government or any agency or subdivision; judicial action; labor dispute; accident; defaults of suppliers; failure or delay in transportation; shortage of labor, fuel, raw material, or machinery; or technical or yield failure where Cirrus Logic has exercised ordinary care to prevent the failure. If any contingency occurs, Cirrus Logic may, at its sole discretion, allocate available quantities of Products among all of its affected customers.
-
Shipment.
- All deliveries are FCA at the point of shipment specified by Cirrus Logic (INCOTERMS® 2020). Delivery occurs upon making the Products available to the carrier at the shipping point. Title and risk of loss also pass to Buyer at the time the Products are made available to the carrier at the shipping point. The carrier will be deemed to be acting as Buyer’s agent and all claims for damage to, or loss of, Products must be filed by Buyer with the carrier.
- Buyer shall designate a carrier of Buyer’s choice in writing prior to the shipment date. Buyer shall be responsible for all freight charges, import duties, taxes and any other expenses incurred or licenses or clearances required at port of origin, port of entry, and destination.
-
Delayed Shipments. Cirrus Logic’s unit prices for the Products are based on an assumption that no significant increase in its costs will occur between the date of the quotation and the shipment date. With respect to any Products that are not scheduled to be delivered within 90 days of the date of Cirrus Logic’s quotation of the unit prices for these Products, Cirrus Logic shall have the right and option to renegotiate the unit prices for those Products. If Cirrus Logic elects to renegotiate those unit prices, it will so notify Buyer in writing. If Buyer and Cirrus Logic cannot agree upon a suitable increase in the unit price of any such Product within 30 days following the notice, then Cirrus Logic may delete the affected Products from the Agreement, and thereafter neither party will have any further obligation with regard to the purchase, sale, or delivery of those Products.
-
Shortages and Return. Buyer must report any shortages in shipment to Cirrus Logic in writing within 30 days after receipt. In addition, Buyer must report any discrepancy between a particular shipment of Products and its packing list, in terms of quantity or part number, within 30 days after receipt. If Buyer fails to notify Cirrus Logic in writing of any such shortage or discrepancy within this 30-day period, the shipment will be conclusively deemed to have been correct, and thereafter Buyer shall have no right to make any claims for shortage or correction. If a return should be necessary, Buyer will comply with the then-current Cirrus Logic RMA Return Procedures, which will be furnished to Buyer by Cirrus Logic upon Buyer’s request. All Products must be untouched (and in the case of wafers must not have been processed including without limitation back-grinding, sawing and/or singulation) and in original packaging. If any Products are returned damaged or in incorrect packaging Cirrus Logic reserves the right to reject the return or charge Buyer for costs and/or losses arising from damaged and/or incorrectly packaged Products.
-
Specifications. With the exception of Products designed for and sold exclusively to a specific customer (“Custom Product”), Cirrus Logic may unilaterally modify the specifications of Products and substitute units manufactured to such modified specifications, provided that the modification does not materially affect the form, fit, and function of the Product. Cirrus Logic will use commercially reasonable efforts and discretion to notify Buyer, as appropriate, of any such modifications.
-
Limited Warranty.
-
Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9 and 11 and 14, Cirrus Logic warrants that the Products will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service, be free of all liens and encumbrances, and will conform to Cirrus Logic’s final published specifications for the Product. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY MADE BY CIRRUS LOGIC AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. CIRRUS LOGIC HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED, STATUTORY, OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FURTHER, CIRRUS LOGIC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO: (A) SAMPLES OR MODELS;(B) PRODUCTS PROVIDED WITH A “PRELIMINARY” OR “ADVANCED” DATASHEET; (C) ANY PRODUCT THAT WAS DAMAGED, ALTERED OR MODIFIED BY ANY PARTY OTHER THAN CIRRUS LOGIC; (D) ANY END-USE APPLICATION OR SYSTEM LEVEL DESIGN INCORPORATING THE PRODUCT; (E) ANY INCOMPATIBILITY OR INTERACTION WITH OTHER COMPONENTS USED BY BUYER (OR ITS CUSTOMER); OR (F) ANY PRODUCT USED IN A MANNER NOT AUTHORIZED UNDER SECTION 14.
-
Cirrus Logic’s obligations under the limited warranty set forth in Section 9(a), and Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any breach of such warranty, are limited to, at Cirrus Logic’s sole option, the replacement or repair of the Product, or the return of the amount paid by Buyer for any Product not meeting such limited warranty, but only if such Product (i) is returned to Cirrus Logic within one year after the date of shipment (in accordance with Section 9(e) below), and (ii) is, after examination by Cirrus Logic, determined to be defective in material and/or workmanship under normal use and service. The repair or replacement of any Product will not extend the original one year warranty period for that Product, but the warranty for any repaired or replacement Product will continue for the remaining portion of the original one year warranty period. IN NO EVENT WILL CIRRUS LOGIC BE LIABLE FOR THE COST OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS.
-
Notwithstanding the limited warranty set forth in Section 9(a) above, Buyer agrees that Products that are not finished and/or not fully encapsulated, including but not limited to engineering samples, development products, Prototype Units, and non-production products, are sold “AS IS” and “WHERE IS” without warranty of any kind. For purposes of this Section, “Prototype Units” mean preliminary, unqualified engineering samples, products that are in development, and samples of production products. Products issued as samples may not be used in products for retail sale or distribution.
-
The foregoing limited warranty extends to Buyer only and may be invoked only by Buyer on behalf of itself or its customers. Cirrus Logic will not accept returns of Product or warranty claims from Buyer’s customers.
-
If Buyer believes that any Products may be defective in material and workmanship under normal use and service or fail to conform to Cirrus Logic’s approved specifications, Buyer must, within 30 days of learning of such problem (but no later than one year after shipment), give written notice to Cirrus Logic with a detailed description of the problem. Buyer will comply with the then-current Cirrus Logic RMA Return Procedures, which will be furnished to Buyer by Cirrus Logic upon Buyer’s request.
-
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9, CIRRUS LOGIC SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT AND ITS PERFORMANCE. CIRRUS LOGIC NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, PERFORMANCE, OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT.
-
-
Intellectual Property Indemnification.
- Cirrus Logic shall defend any proceeding brought against Buyer if and to the extent that the proceeding is based on a claim that any Products supplied by Cirrus Logic to Buyer directly infringe any duly issued, valid and enforceable United States, European Union country, United Kingdom, or Japan patent, copyright, mask work right, or trademark, and Cirrus Logic shall pay all damages and costs finally awarded in the proceeding against Buyer in respect of such direct infringement, provided that Cirrus Logic is promptly informed and furnished a copy of each communication, notice, or other action relating to the alleged infringement and is given authority, information, and assistance necessary to defend or settle the proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cirrus Logic shall not be obligated to defend claims, or be liable for costs and damages (i) with respect to Products whose datasheets indicate indemnification is not provided or (ii) if the infringement arises out of compliance with Buyer’s (or its customer’s) specifications, or from a combination with, an addition to, or a modification of the Products after delivery by Cirrus Logic, or from use of the Products, or any part thereof, in the practice of a process. Subject to Section 10(b) below, Cirrus Logic’s obligations under this Section 10(a) shall not apply to any infringement occurring after Buyer has received notice of such proceeding or other communication alleging the infringement unless Cirrus Logic has given written permission for the continuation of acts alleged to constitute infringement. In no event will Cirrus Logic’s total liability to Buyer under this Section exceed the aggregate sum paid to Cirrus Logic by Buyer for Products that were alleged to infringe and were purchased under the Agreement. In no event will Cirrus Logic’s obligations under this Section extend to any defense, damages, or costs associated with allegations, or a finding, of willful infringement based on Buyer’s actions or those of a third party.
- If the Products supplied by Cirrus Logic to Buyer are held to infringe any United States, European Union country, United Kingdom, or Japan patent, copyright, mask work right, or trademark, and Buyer is enjoined from using the Products, or if Cirrus Logic discontinues shipment pursuant to Section 10(c) below, Cirrus Logic will use commercially reasonable efforts, at its option and at its expense, to: (i) procure for Buyer the right to use the Products free of any liability for such infringement, or (ii) replace the Products with a non-infringing substitute otherwise complying substantially with all requirements of the Agreement, or (iii) refund the purchase price of the infringing Products.
- If the infringement is alleged prior to completion of delivery of Products under the Agreement, Cirrus Logic may decline to make further shipments without breach of the Agreement.
- Buyer will hold Cirrus Logic harmless from, and defend Cirrus Logic against, any cost, expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), damage, or liability arising from Cirrus Logic’s compliance with Buyer’s (or its customer’s) design or specification, including, without limitation, third-party claims for intellectual property infringement. The foregoing indemnification specifically covers and includes any claims based on, arising from, or alleging the sole or concurrent negligence of Cirrus Logic or its affiliates, employees, agents, or representatives.
- THE FOREGOING SUBPARAGRAPHS 10(a) THROUGH 10(d) STATE THE ENTIRE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF CIRRUS LOGIC TO BUYER FOR INFRINGEMENT OF ANY AND ALL PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, OR MASK WORK RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES; ARE STATED IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT; AND WILL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR PATENT, MASK WORK, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, TRADE SECRET, OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OF ANY KIND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
-
Disclaimer. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 above, Cirrus Logic disclaims and makes no warranty, express, statutory or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability/satisfactory quality, freedom from patent infringement, and fitness for particular purpose, with regard to any Product or component of any Product that is not actually manufactured by Cirrus Logic. These other products or components of products may be warranted by the original manufacturer of these products. For further information regarding the possible warranty of these products, contact Cirrus Logic.
-
Cancellation and Rescheduling.
- Buyer may cancel an order for Products with 90 days written notice prior to Cirrus Logic’s original scheduled shipment date of those Products. Cirrus Logic reserves the right to invoice Buyer for all costs associated with any order cancellation, including the costs of any Products substantially completed at the time of cancellation.
- Buyer may, on written notice to Cirrus Logic at least 90 days prior to Cirrus Logic’s original scheduled ship date of Products, delay a scheduled delivery for up to 90 days following the original scheduled shipment date. Buyer may exercise this right to delay delivery of Products only once under the Agreement.
-
Breach.
- If Buyer is in breach of its obligations under the Agreement (other than those under Section 23(d)) and fails to cure the breach within 30 days following notice by Cirrus Logic, Cirrus Logic may, at its option, suspend further performance by it, terminate the order as to any undelivered portion, or continue to perform. In each case, however, Buyer will remain liable for all unpaid charges and sums due to Cirrus Logic and will reimburse Cirrus Logic for all damages suffered or incurred by Cirrus Logic as a result of Buyer’s breach. The remedies provided herein will be in addition to all other legal rights and remedies available to Cirrus Logic.
- Cirrus Logic shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and any order with immediate effect by written notice to that effect to Buyer if (a) Buyer breaches Section 23(d), or (b) continued performance of any obligation or exercise of any right under this Agreement by Cirrus Logic would result in a violation of Trade Laws (as that term is defined in Section 23), or would require authorization, permit, license or other form of permission from any government authority to ensure compliance with Trade Laws.
-
Buyer’s Use or Application of Products and Software
- Buyer (or Buyer’s customer) is solely responsible for the end use of the Products (and/or Software) and for the design, validation and testing of applications or systems in which the Products (and/or Software) are incorporated or used. Prior to manufacturing, using, distributing, importing or selling any products, applications or systems including Products (and/or Software), Buyer (or Buyer’s customer) is solely responsible for (i) ensuring the safety and security of such products, applications or systems, and effecting and implementing safeguards to minimize inherent or operational hazards (ii) effecting any necessary third-party intellectual property licenses and (iii) ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and safety requirements or standards. Features and operations of Products and/or Software that may be described in Cirrus Logic product documentation or correspondence are for illustrative purposes only and do not (1) constitute a suggestion or instruction to adopt a particular product design or a particular mode of operation for Products or Software or (2) override Buyer’s responsibilities as set out above.
- Products and Software are not designed, tested, or intended for the following uses, and such uses are at Buyer’s (or Buyer’s customer’s) own risk:
- with or in implantable products or FDA/MHRA Class III medical devices (or medical devices with similar or equivalent classifications in a foreign jurisdiction); or
- in any products, applications or systems, including without limitation life-critical medical equipment or safety or security equipment, where malfunction of the Products and/or Software could cause personal injury, death, severe property damage, or severe environmental harm.
- If Buyer (or Buyer’s customer) uses or permits the use of Products (and/or Software) in a manner set out in Section 14(b), Buyer shall fully indemnify Cirrus Logic, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, distributors, and other agents from any and all liability, including attorneys’ fees and costs, that may result from or arise in connection with such use. The foregoing indemnification specifically covers and includes any claims based on, arising from, or alleging the sole or concurrent negligence of Cirrus Logic or its affiliates, employees, agents or representatives.
- The exclusions from, and limitations upon, Cirrus Logic’s liability and warranties specified at Section 14 (a) and (b), and the indemnification provision at Section 14 (c), are applicable even if Cirrus Logic was aware, or ought reasonably to have been aware, of Buyer’s (and/or Buyer’s customer’s) proposed use(s) for the Products and/or any Software.
-
WAIVER OF DAMAGES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CIRRUS LOGIC BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, WHETHER CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHERWISE.

The Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States of America, without giving effect to its provisions regarding conflicts of laws. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded in its entirety. Cirrus Logic and Buyer will attempt to settle all claims (other than claims relating to intellectual property issues) through negotiation or non-binding mediation prior to commencement of court proceedings. Any dispute that cannot be resolved within 30 days of initial demand may then be submitted (exclusively) to a state or federal court located in Travis County, Texas. Each of the parties hereby submits itself to the jurisdiction and venue of these courts for the purposes of any such action.
