  1. ADDITIONAL SUPPLIER TERMS AND RESTRICTIONS

19.1 All Products and Deliverables delivered to Purchaser hereunder may have additional terms or restrictions on their use required by the Supplier of the Products. Purchaser is solely responsible for ensuring its adherence to any and all such restrictions and requirements. If any Supplier prohibits IM from selling specific Products or Deliverables to Purchaser, then IM reserves the right not to sell such Products or Deliverables to Purchaser.

It shall be Purchaser’s obligation to pass through these terms, where applicable, to its customer to ensure compliance with Supplier’s terms. In the event Purchaser fails to do so, Purchaser shall indemnify IM for any losses, damages, claims or liabilities that IM may incur as a result of Purchaser’s breach. For the avoidance of doubt, any term imposed on Purchaser by IM’s Suppliers may be set out online or communicated in writing by IM to Purchaser, or through IM’s Statement of Work or quotation and Purchaser shall be deemed to have unequivocally accepted the said terms by (i) Purchaser signing the terms and conditions; or (ii) Purchaser providing a purchase order to IM; or (iii) Purchaser or its customer’s acceptance of any Product or Service from IM or its Supplier; whichever occurs first.
