Remedies
Without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it under applicable law or otherwise, Seller may, at its option, defer shipment or deliveries hereunder, or under or pursuant to any other contract with Buyer, until all past-due accounts of Buyer to Seller have been satisfied in full. If Buyer fails to make payment when due and Seller determines its obligations hereunder to be insecure, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller, on demand, all Products furnished to Buyer hereunder for which payment in full has not been made, and if Buyer fails to return such Products, Seller may, to the extent permitted by law, with or without notice and with or without legal process, enter upon any premises where such Products may be located and take possession of the same. Seller may then sell such Products, with or without notice, at private or public sale at which Seller may purchase, and the proceeds of such sale, less expenses or retaking, repairing, holding and reselling, will be applied to the unpaid purchase price without release of any deficiency, which deficiency (if any) shall be promptly paid by Buyer. Any surplus above the unpaid balance shall however be remitted by Seller to Buyer.
Proprietary Right

Buyer agrees to familiarize itself (without reliance on Seller except as to the accuracy of special safety information actually furnished by Seller), with any hazard of such materials and their applications and the containers in which such materials are shipped. Buyer agrees to train its employees and its customers as to such hazards. Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless against any claims by Buyer or its employees or customers based on allegations relating to any such hazards except where such claims are based on failure to meet written specifications or the inaccuracy of specific safety information actually furnished by Seller.
Delay
Seller is not liable for loss, damage, detention or delay due to causes beyond its reasonable control, such as acts of God, acts of Buyer, acts of civil or military authority, fires, strikes, floods, epidemics, war, riot, delays in transportation, government restrictions or
embargoes, or difficulties in obtaining necessary labor, materials, manufacturing facilities or transportation due to such causes.
In the event of a delay in delivery in excess of ninety (90) consecutive days, Buyer has the right to terminate its order as to the undelivered portion thereof without penalty.
