Product Impoundment & Financial Responsibility
If "Infinite Electronics LLP" impounds suspect, fraudulent and/or counterfeit product, the following terms and conditions apply.
1. Fraudulent/counterfeit parts have no value. For example, any Limitation of Warranties provision contained in the Supplier’s Terms and Conditions will be declared null and void if it is later determined that fraudulent/counterfeit parts or suspect fraudulent/counterfeit parts were received by "Infinite Electronics LLP" from "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier". "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" and "Infinite Electronics LLP" hereby agree that fraudulent/counterfeit parts have no value and any contract documents establishing a transaction involving fraudulent/counterfeit parts shall be declared null and void.
2. "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" has the right to agree with or verify "Infinite Electronics LLP’s" findings. "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" and "Infinite Electronics LLP" hereby agree that if the OCM determines the suspect parts are authentic, then the decision is "final" and "Infinite Electronics LLP’s Supplier" and "Infinite Electronics LLP" hereby agree that if "Infinite Electronics LLP" or a testing laboratory chosen by "Infinite Electronics LLP" determines that the electronic parts supplied are suspect/fraudulent/counterfeit, then "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" has the right to: (1) Agree with "Infinite Electronics LLP’s" findings and the transaction will be voided; or (2) Verify "Infinite Electronics LLP’s" findings by contracting with a "Infinite Electronics LLP" approved and "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" recognized test laboratory (hereafter referred to as "Test Lab") for further verification.
3. "Infinite Electronics LLP’s" burden of proof.
- Since any dispute between "Infinite Electronics LLP" and "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" may be resolved in a civil proceeding whether in a court of law or in an arbitration, the appropriate burden of proof required for "Infinite Electronics LLP" to establish that the suspect parts are fraudulent/counterfeit shall be preponderance of the evidence, which means that "Infinite Electronics LLP" must establish that it is more likely than not that the suspect parts are fraudulent/counterfeit unless "Infinite Electronics LLP" is trying to establish fraud, which would then raise "Infinite Electronics LLP" burden of proof to a clear and convincing evidence standard. However, if for whatever reason, the issue of the authenticity of the suspect parts is raised during a criminal proceeding, then the burden of proof that the suspect parts are fraudulent/counterfeit shall be that the suspect parts are fraudulent/counterfeit beyond a reasonable doubt.

If arbitration is necessary or chosen as the preferred method by "Infinite Electronics LLP", "Infinite Electronics LLP" shall select the arbiter without consent/approval from "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" unless otherwise prohibited by the local laws and regulations of the home state/country/province of "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier’s" headquarters location
4. Product Confiscation/Destruction
If "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" accepts "Infinite Electronics LLP’s" findings and chooses to immediately void the transaction, the suspect electronic parts will not be returned to "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" unless and/or until an independent lab agreed to by both "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" and "Infinite Electronics LLP" determines that the electronic parts are not suspect fraudulent/counterfeit or fraudulent/counterfeit. Under these circumstances, "Infinite Electronics LLP" shall retain possession of the suspect electronic parts for a time period at least as long as the applicable statute of limitations under the appropriate Authority(ies) Having Jurisdiction following the date upon which "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" received notification from "Infinite Electronics LLP" that it was choosing to immediately void the transaction between them. Once this period has expired, then "Infinite Electronics LLP" shall have the absolute right to destroy the suspect electronic parts. If "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" exercises its right to have an independent lab determine whether the suspect electronic parts are fraudulent/counterfeit and the lab verifies the findings that the subject electronic parts are either suspect fraudulent/counterfeit or fraudulent/counterfeit, then "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" must issue an immediate refund of all monies paid by "Infinite Electronics LLP". If the suspect parts are determined to be suspect counterfeit, fraudulent or counterfeit by the independent test lab, then "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" of those parts shall be required to pay for all charges issued by the testing lab. If, however, the suspect parts are determined not to be suspect counterfeit, fraudulent or counterfeit then "Infinite Electronics LLP" shall be required to pay all of the charges issued by the testing lab. "Infinite Electronics LLP" and "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" agree that whether or not "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" refunds all monies paid by "Infinite Electronics LLP", "Infinite Electronics LLP" shall have the absolute right to reacquire possession of the subject electronic parts from the lab in order to prevent the subject electronic parts from being offered for sale through any channels of distribution.

"Infinite Electronics LLP" and "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" agree that "Infinite Electronics LLP" shall have the right to destroy the suspect electronic parts after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations under the appropriate Authority(ies) Having Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the above, if "Infinite Electronics LLP" and "Infinite Electronics LLP’s supplier" agree in writing that the parts can be immediately destroyed, the parts will be destroyed per their agreement so long as all civil or criminal actions, in which the suspect electronic parts are the subject of the action, have been completed.
