RECITALS

WHEREAS, CUSTOMER wishes to have COMPANY, or COMPANY’s designee, manufacture, and package the Products (as defined below) using the formulas upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS COMPANY and CUSTOMER wish to enter into this Agreement to address the terms of their relationship and the manufacture and sale of the Products to CUSTOMER:

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions.

In this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

a. “Product” and “Products” mean the item or items ordered by CUSTOMER from COMPANY that are manufactured for CUSTOMER by COMPANY or COMPANY’S designee.

b. “Specifications” shall mean the specifications for the manufacture of the Product, including, but not limited to the specifications for raw materials, packaging materials, labeling, and formulations for the Products, all as modified from time to time by written agreement of the parties. The Specifications for each Product shall be mutually agreed to by the parties and are incorporated herein by this reference.

c. “Party” or “Parties”. COMPANY and CUSTOMER may each be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

2. Purchase and Sale of Products.

General. During the term of this Agreement, COMPANY shall be CUSTOMER’s supplier of the Products. COMPANY shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply such Products to CUSTOMER pursuant to orders that are expressly accepted by COMPANY, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. COMPANY may assign the products’ manufacturing to COMPANY’s Designees, which designees must adhere to quality standards no less stringent than those stated in this Agreement.

a. Ordering Product. This Agreement does not constitute a purchase order. CUSTOMER shall order Products by emailing the COMPANY from time to time and with the information provided by CUSTOMER in such an email, the COMPANY will generate a Purchase Order for approval. Once the Purchase Order is signed by CUSTOMER and sent back to COMPANY, a deposit invoice outlining the specific products ordered and the amount of deposit required for the order (“Deposit Invoice”) will be sent electronically. Each order of Product must be made in accordance with the minimum order quantities stated by the COMPANY.

b. Effectiveness of Purchase Orders. Subject to Section 2(a), upon payment by CUSTOMER of the 50% of the order total, as known as the Deposit, or if approved on a separate credit application, CUSTOMER shall be obligated to purchase the Products from the COMPANY specified in the Purchase Order(s) and COMPANY shall, except as stated otherwise, supply the Products to CUSTOMER in the quantities agreed to by the parties. Payment of a deposit shall be deemed as CUSTOMER’s final confirmation of the goods as specified in the Purchase Order. Consequently, COMPANY will not accept modifications to the Purchase Order subsequent to the deposit payment. In the event CUSTOMER deems modification is necessary, CUSTOMER shall promptly communicate this modification request to COMPANY. COMPANY retains sole discretion to permit or deny Purchase Order modifications. In the event of COMPANY approval for Purchase Order modification, a service fee not less than five hundred U.S. dollar ($500) shall be charged upon the customer to compensate for COMPANY 's time and labor expended in effecting the modification. This service fee is exclusively charged for order modification and shall not be applied to offset any of the original or modified order price. If COMPANY declines modification of the Purchase Order, the original Purchase Order shall remain in full force and effect. CUSTOMER is obligated to adhere to the terms and specifications outlined in the original Purchase Order.

c. If there are any deviations from the Specifications at the testing stage and CUSTOMER is notified and approves of said deviations explicitly or approves the order to go to manufacturing, the CUSTOMER is obligated to pay the remaining balance for the Products ordered; however, if the CUSTOMER is notified and then refuses to accept the deviations, the COMPANY shall be entitled to correct the deviations to satisfy the Specification, or cancel the order and refund to the CUSTOMER at the COMPANY’S own discretion.

3. Prices.

a. General. COMPANY requires a nonrefundable deposit of 50% of the order total to begin production on any order which there shall be no refund. When the ordered product is completed, COMPANY will notify CUSTOMER by sending a final invoice for the remaining 50% of the order, plus any additional charges accrued for artwork, labels, special packaging, freight and other services. Final payment is due upon completion of the Purchase Order, and receipt of the final invoice and must be received before product can be shipped or picked up unless specified credit terms were extended by COMPANY to CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER shall be liable for all charges associated with the order. The prices for each Product will be set forth in the estimate and purchase order(s), which do not include any cost for freight or labels. Any costs or charges for freight, labels, insurance or any applicable sales, use, transfer, excise, or other taxes, tariffs, or custom duties, shall be the responsibility of CUSTOMER.

b. Increases or Decreases in Materials, Other Costs and Changes to Specifications. Notwithstanding Section 3(a), if at any time COMPANY’s documented total cost of a Product, including without limitation the cost of raw materials, components, packaging, and manufacturing, increases by more than five percent (5%), COMPANY shall have the right, in COMPANY’s sole discretion, to (i) pass through the cost increase to CUSTOMER as a corresponding price increase reflected in the final invoice for the affected Purchase Order(s); (ii) cancel the affected Purchase Order(s), in which case CUSTOMER’s deposit shall be credited toward a future Purchase Order rather than refunded; or (iii) propose alternative materials, components, or specifications to mitigate the increase. CUSTOMER shall have no right to cancel any Purchase Order, terminate this Agreement, or claim a deposit refund as a result of any such cost increase. COMPANY may additionally adjust the price of any Product at any time as a result of changes to the Specifications requested by CUSTOMER or required as a result of any change in any state, federal, or local law, rule, order, or regulation. COMPANY will provide CUSTOMER with reasonable documentary evidence of such changes in costs upon request.

4. Quantities, Delivery and Shipping.

a. Shipping Costs and Terms. All Products shall be shipped FOB Largo, Florida. All Products will be suitably prepared, packed and stored for shipment in suitable containers in accordance with sound commercial practices and manufacturing and packing instructions to ensure that Products are delivered in an undamaged condition. Any damage to products while in the possession of the CUSTOMER or a third-party carrier is the sole responsibility of the CUSTOMER. Once shipped from the COMPANY’s facilities, the product is wholly owned by the CUSTOMER. The COMPANY is not responsible for shipping/import costs through international customs, or any additional paperwork required for acceptance into other countries. CUSTOMER has the option of electing to ensure the products while the products are in the possession of a third-party carrier, and the cost of such insurance will be borne by the CUSTOMER and such costs are in addition to the shipping costs. CUSTOMER shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in shipping the Products from the COMPANY to the CUSTOMER’s destination(s), even if the COMPANY helps coordinate the shipping. If the CUSTOMER requires COMPANY to ship Product(s), COMPANY will send a separate shipping invoice. Once all invoices are fully paid, the COMPANY will ship the Products.

b. Completion Dates. Any Product completion dates referenced by COMPANY to CUSTOMER are estimates only and are subject to change and are predicated on conditions existing at the time. In the event COMPANY knows of any events or conditions that will delay delivery of the Products to CUSTOMER, it will inform CUSTOMER immediately and will take additional measures to ensure delivery of the Products as soon as commercially possible. All orders are to be manufactured or supplied by SMP Nutra, 12333 Enterprise Blvd., Largo, Florida, 33773 and shipped in pallets to the warehouse of the CUSTOMER’s choice either using COMPANY’s preferred carrier and paying freight, or the CUSTOMER may schedule a pickup at the facility within 72 hours of product completion.

c. Quantities. CUSTOMER agrees that, so long as otherwise in compliance with the applicable Specifications, CUSTOMER shall accept delivery of Products that are within plus or minus ten percent (+/- 10%) of the final quantity specified in the Purchase Order. The CUSTOMER acknowledges that this fluctuation is in accordance with industry standard and the CUSTOMER is responsible for the cost associated with this fluctuation regardless of the size of the order or whether the order is for an initial run. CUSTOMER will be billed for the full number of finished units manufactured. COMPANY will keep four (4) of the units, as the COMPANY needs to keep retainer units for Quality Control as per FDA, CGMP Regulations.

d. Title and Risk of Loss. Title to and risk of loss of the Products shall pass to CUSTOMER upon COMPANY’s delivery thereof to any carrier(s) at the COMPANY Warehouse. Any damage to products while in the possession of the CUSTOMER or a third-party carrier is the sole responsibility of the CUSTOMER.

e. Inspection. Payment for any Product delivered hereunder will not constitute acceptance thereof. All Product is delivered subject to CUSTOMER’s inspection, testing, approval, and acceptance notwithstanding any prior inspection or testing by COMPANY. Except for the Custom Products subject to Section 7c., CUSTOMER may request a sample of the stock or custom product before shipment of the bulk order, and the shipment for the sample will be added to the final invoice. If the CUSTOMER requires more than one sample of a Custom Product, an additional cost will be added to the final invoice. CUSTOMER shall carefully inspect all Products promptly upon the receipt. Any claim for overage, shortage, or visibly damaged Products must be presented to the COMPANY, in writing, within ten (10) business days after Products are delivered to CUSTOMER. Any other claim for breach of warranty or other defect must be presented to the COMPANY in writing, within twenty (20) business days after receipt of the Products by CUSTOMER and outline the alleged defect in detail. Failure to make a claim within the above specified time periods shall constitute a waiver of any such claim and shall constitute acceptance of the Products. Claims must be accompanied by supporting documentary proof of the alleged shortage, overage, or defect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where CUSTOMER elects to leave completed Products in COMPANY’s warehouse rather than take immediate physical delivery, the inspection windows above are modified as follows. Within ten (10) business days after COMPANY’s written notice of Product completion, CUSTOMER shall, at CUSTOMER’s expense, ship not less than one (1) full case for each SKU included in the order to CUSTOMER (or CUSTOMER’s designated location) for inspection. Any claim for overage, shortage, visible damage, breach of warranty, or defect (whether patent or latent) with respect to Product stored at COMPANY’s facility must be presented to COMPANY in writing within ten (10) business days after CUSTOMER’s receipt of the inspection shipment, accompanied by supporting documentary proof. CUSTOMER’s failure to (a) ship inspection cases within the ten (10) business day window following the completion notice, or (b) present a claim within ten (10) business days of receipt of the inspection shipment, shall constitute a waiver of all claims for overage, shortage, damage, breach of warranty, or defect on the stored Product, and shall constitute acceptance of the Product in full.

f. Defective Products. CUSTOMER’s claim with respect to latent defects, which could not reasonably be discovered by CUSTOMER through testing at the time of Inspection, must be made in writing and received by COMPANY within ten (10) business days from the date of discovery. CUSTOMER must also provide COMPANY with a sample of any such defective Product. Once the COMPANY has evidence of the existence of such defect, the COMPANY shall, at COMPANY’s sole option, either replace the defective Product or refund CUSTOMER for the product’s cost. The foregoing remedy is CUSTOMER’s sole and exclusive remedy for defective Products and is subject in all respects to the limitations of liability set forth in Section 8. If COMPANY or CUSTOMER learns of any potential safety hazard or unsafe condition relating to any of the products covered by this Agreement, it will promptly advise the other party by the most expeditious means of communication.

g. Returns.

1. The CUSTOMER must contact the COMPANY and fill out the Returned Goods Authorization Form (hereinafter referred as the “RGA Form”) when CUSTOMER attempts to return defective products. Upon receipt of returned products at COMPANY, receiving personnel will check the products and match them with the information provided on the RGA Form. If the returned product information does not match the RGA Form or the returned product does not have an associated RGA Form which states correct and necessary information, CUSTOMER shall be charged two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) penalty fee per each unit for return, and then the COMPANY will determine appropriate steps for product receipt and handling.

2. Any items returned must be in the same condition in which CUSTOMER received them. Items must be unopened and sealed in the original condition.

3. The COMPANY does not accept product returns directly from consumers or third-party companies, and the COMPANY reserves the right to refuse any returns from them and the right to charge the associated CUSTOMER two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) penalty fee per each unit. The CUSTOMER will be notified of the return, and the products will be released back to the CUSTOMER or to be destroyed, at COMPANY’s own discretion.

4. The COMPANY does not accept merchandise for return unless items are defective, in which case the CUSTOMER shall contact its products supplier or vendor for return instructions.

h. COMPANY will promptly communicate all relevant facts to CUSTOMER and shall cooperatively undertake all appropriate corrective actions necessary to address the safety or quality concern. The parties shall cooperate in communicating with the public and with governmental agencies. Where possible, each party shall consult the other prior to making any statements to the public or to a governmental agency. However, in no event shall anything in this section preclude a party from taking such action as may be required under any applicable state or federal law or regulation. COMPANY warrants that the products shall be free from defects in workmanship and/or materials and shall conform in all material with respect to the products. CUSTOMER shall be responsible for administering consumer complaints or claims relating to the products safety and complications and COMPANY shall cooperate with CUSTOMER requirements. The CUSTOMER agrees to indemnify, defend and hold COMPANY harmless from and against any third-party claims, suits or demands caused by (a) CUSTOMER’s action or inaction after the products have been shipped by COMPANY and/or (b) a defect in the specifications or product literature.

5. Payment and Invoices.

a. Payment. All payments shall be made by check, credit card or wire transfer to the COMPANY’s designated bank account. CUSTOMER shall pay for Products with an initial nonrefundable deposit of 50% of the total Purchase Order (P.O.) price upon P.O. placement, with the remainder due upon completion of the order and receipt of final invoice. If any amount is not paid in full when due, the COMPANY may seek payment in full. CUSTOMER is responsible for any sales, use, VAT, GST, or other taxes or duties, however designated, except for taxes related to the COMPANY's net income. CUSTOMER shall be liable for all charges associated with the order. CUSTOMER covenants and agrees not to initiate, request, or authorize any chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute against any payment made to COMPANY by credit card, debit card, ACH, or other electronic payment method. CUSTOMER acknowledges that disputes regarding Products or invoices shall be resolved exclusively through the inspection, claims, defect, and notice provisions set forth in this Agreement. Any chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute initiated by CUSTOMER in violation of this covenant shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In the event of such a chargeback, payment reversal, or disputed payment by CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER shall be liable to COMPANY for: (i) the full amount that was charged back, reversed, or disputed; (ii) all credit card processing fees, bank fees, and similar third-party fees incurred by COMPANY in connection with the chargeback; (iii) liquidated damages in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the charged-back amount or five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), whichever is greater; and (iv) all COMPANY costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. CUSTOMER acknowledges that COMPANY’s actual damages arising from chargeback events are difficult to quantify and that the foregoing liquidated damages are a reasonable forecast of COMPANY’s anticipated actual damages, and not a penalty. COMPANY may, at its sole discretion, apply any deposit, payment, credit, or other amount held by COMPANY on CUSTOMER’s behalf against amounts owed under this provision.

b. All payments shall be applied to the oldest invoice first, and any remaining amounts will be applied to the next oldest open invoice.

c. Invoices. The COMPANY shall issue a final invoice to CUSTOMER for Products to be shipped (including any other amounts due to the COMPANY). The COMPANY shall also have the right to issue an invoice on the date the Products are ready for shipment, even if CUSTOMER fails to pick up or take delivery of the Products on such date.

d. Overdue Invoices. CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that all invoices that become past due shall be subject to the accrual of interest at the rate of 25% annually, which shall be calculated fifteen (15) days after payment for an invoice is due from CUSTOMER. (“Interest”). The Interest will continue to accumulate and be added to CUSTOMER’s monthly statement, until the amount owed, and all interest associated therewith, is paid in full to the COMPANY. Further, the COMPANY may suspend orders and deliveries under any order until all overdue amounts have been paid in full. If any amount is not paid in full and has passed the due for 30 calendar days, the COMPANY will send the CUSTOMER notice of the past-due amount. If invoice(s) remains past due for 90 calendar days or more, the CUSTOMER's action shall be deemed as a material breach, and COMPANY is entitled to keep deposit and other fees already paid by the CUSTOMER, and cancel the order(s) upon its own discretion, without any notification. Any completed but unshipped orders placed by CUSTOMER prior to the material breach shall be due and payable by CUSTOMER.

6. Intellectual Property.

All intellectual property rights, or rights that rank on a par with these, to the Products provided by COMPANY to CUSTOMER belong to COMPANY.

a. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the CUSTOMER provides its own unique formulation, or any other designs or materials created independently prior to, or otherwise than in connection with, the Agreement, the CUSTOMER retains the intellectual property rights in such CUSTOMER materials.

b. The COMPANY shall not use materials of any kind made available by CUSTOMER, including CUSTOMER Trademarks, for any purpose other than manufacturing the Products for supply to CUSTOMER, shall not make available any such materials to third parties and shall return them promptly to CUSTOMER on request. For the avoidance of doubt, COMPANY shall not produce or supply any Products bearing any CUSTOMER Trademarks for any other person whatsoever and shall not produce or supply to any person any products which infringe any CUSTOMER Trademarks or assist any other person to do so.

7. CUSTOMER’s Responsibility for Products.

Other than a breach by the COMPANY of its warranties in Section 8(a) and 8(b), CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that CUSTOMER is solely responsible for all aspects of the Products, including but not limited to, any label content, packaging materials, and all marketing and promotional claims made about the Products in any forum or media. Additionally, CUSTOMER is responsible to see that the Products, including, but not limited to, any Product label, formula, ingredient, component, raw materials, or marketing materials fully comply in every respect with all local, state and federal laws, statutes, rules, orders, and regulations applicable to the Products and their sale in those states, countries or other jurisdictions in which the CUSTOMER sells the Products.

a. Labels. If COMPANY is printing labels as part of the order, COMPANY will guarantee the label production will coincide with production of the product. The CUSTOMER should make sure they are introduced to a graphic designer so they can work with them hand in hand to make the desired label (s). The CUSTOMER and graphic designer will work with the compliance officer to get the label(s), print ready. The CUSTOMER should have an idea of what they want the label to look like and maybe an example or two.

b. If COMPANY is not printing labels as part of the order, then the order is to be paid in full when the production of the ordered product is complete. Such payment is not contingent upon label completion or application to the product.

c. CUSTOMERS supplying artwork for COMPANY to print labels or packaging must tender their ‘print ready’ artwork to COMPANY within two (2) weeks after their order is placed. Failing to provide “print ready” artwork within the two (2) week timeframe will result in the CUSTOMER’s order incurring additional fees for revisions. If CUSTOMER fails/doesn’t approve artwork to COMPANY for labels within eight (8) weeks from the date the order was placed, ordered products will be manufactured, packaged without labels, and CUSTOMER shall pay for the full price of ordered products and any other fees. CUSTOMERS supplying containers in the form of bags shall provide the bags withing the eight (8) week time frame. If CUSTOMER fails to provide bags, COMPANY will invoice CUSTOMER the remaining balance of the order, which shall be due (1) week from this invoice date. If CUSTOMER fails to pay the invoice, the prior payments made shall be nonrefundable. If CUSTOMER provides labels and any error occurs during the label application process, necessitating the replacement of the labels, CUSTOMER shall be liable for an additional charge of nine hundred seventy-five US dollars ($975.00) to cover the costs associated with the label replacement. This fee encompasses the time, setup, and labor expenses incurred in replacing the previous labels, and does not include charges for reprinting the labels or for the expenses associated with CUSTOMER's self-correction of label errors and subsequent resend of corrected labels.

d. A sales representative from the COMPANY will send the following for completion once the order is submitted and payment is confirmed: supplement fact panel, die line, and artwork guidelines. In addition, COMPANY can only print FDA compliant labels. CUSTOMERs supplying artwork will need a compliance officer. CUSTOMER will ensure they are in contact with the compliance officer and send the artwork to the compliance officer when ready. If any changes are to be made after the first submission, the CUSTOMER will ensure that it is done promptly and as accurately as possible to resubmit for approval from compliance. This may take up to three days. COMPANY will not be responsible for any delays resulting from the CUSTOMER’s failure to provide “print ready” artwork within the specified period. In these cases, a final invoice for artwork, special packaging, freight and other extras will be provided when the project is completed and ready to ship. The CUSTOMER is responsible for all copy, directions, warnings or any additional information appearing on the label. COMPANY is only responsible for providing the “Supplemental Facts” panel and label dimension lines.

e. Once labels are print ready, CUSTOMER shall submit the label through SMP’s customer portal or deliver the label to CUSTOMER’s designated SMP sales administrator or sales representative. CUSTOMER must submit the print-ready label as soon as it is ready for print. At the time of submission, CUSTOMER shall indicate the style of label requested (e.g., gloss, metallic, spot varnish).

f. CUSTOMER’s supplying pre-printed labels must deliver the pre-printed labels to COMPANY’s offices within eight weeks after placing an order. CUSTOMER will need to tell their print company to use Unwind Position Four (4) for labels to come on a core and wound up correctly for label application. If CUSTOMER fails to provide pre-printed labels within the eight-week time frame, ordered products will be manufactured, packaged, and invoiced without labels. In addition, if CUSTOMER does not provide enough pre-printed labels to complete the order, all units both labeled and unlabeled will be shipped and billed to the CUSTOMER and an additional charge will be added for re-labeling at the CUSTOMERs request. CUSTOMER shall be required to meet the invoice terms requiring full payment within five (5) business days of the invoice. CUSTOMERs requesting to have labels applied to the product after the final invoice is issued will be charged an additional $2.00/label processing fee to reschedule the products for labeling.

g. Raw Materials. COMPANY will accept raw materials supplied by CUSTOMER for the manufacture of CUSTOMER’s product with the understanding that COMPANY is relying completely on the Certificate of Analysis provided with the raw materials to determine the content of the raw materials. COMPANY shall not be required to conduct additional testing to verify the information stated on the Certificate of Analysis. Only at the written request of CUSTOMER, which must include CUSTOMER’s agreement to pay all costs associated with such testing and with an officer’s signature on a separate agreement, will COMPANY test raw materials supplied by the CUSTOMER. COMPANY shall not be responsible for inferior, contaminated, or adulterated raw material or mistakes on the Certificate of Analysis. All CUSTOMER Supplied Raw Materials are subject to a $175 testing fee to pass all cGMP and FDA Requirements. If testing of finished product reveals it does not meet specifications due to inferior raw materials supplied by the CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER will hold COMPANY harmless and assume all liability and costs associated with the manufacturing of the product. CUSTOMERs supplying raw materials shall supply enough material to manufacture the product allowing for the overage required in the manufacturing process. COMPANY shall not be responsible for shortages if the CUSTOMER does not supply enough raw materials to complete the project. CUSTOMER shall supply raw materials on time. If CUSTOMER fails to supply sufficient materials to COMPANY for production within the eight (8) week timeframe, COMPANY shall be entitled to retain the deposit and invoice CUSTOMER for the full price of the order(s).

h. Custom Product Research and Development. Formulas must be submitted for evaluation to the Research and Development team and COMPANY sales representative for pricing. Once approved, pricing will be delivered within 5-7 business days. The price will then be confirmed by the CUSTOMER. For customized products previously unmanufactured by COMPANY and necessitating greater scrutiny by the Research and Development team, the price of the sample will depend on whether the Purchase Order(s) make it into production. After receiving the deposit, which shall be 50% of the Purchase Order price, COMPANY will send CUSTOMER three (3) rounds of custom samples upon CUSTOMER’s request.

(i)If CUSTOMER decides to go through the current Purchase order(s) and the Purchase Order(s) can be successfully made into production, COMPANY will not charge any fees for these three (3) rounds. If after three (3) rounds of samples are rendered and additional samples are needed, it will be priced at five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each additional sample, and the fees shall be added to the final invoice.

(ii)If the product fails and does not make it to production, CUSTOMER shall pay for these three (3) rounds of custom samples at five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). If after these three (3) sets of samples are rendered and additional samples are needed, each additional round of sample will be priced at five hundred dollars ($500.00). For example, if CUSTOMER requests a total of five (5) rounds of samples, but the product does not make it into production, COMPANY will charge five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for the first three (3) rounds, and five hundred dollars ($500.00) plus five hundred dollars ($500.00) for the next two rounds. Therefore, for these five (5) rounds of samples, CUSTOMER will be invoiced a total of six thousand dollars ($6,000.00). After the sample fee is calculated according to the above calculation method, CUSTOMER shall be invoiced the shortfall if the deposit paid by the consumer is less than the sample fee. If the deposit paid by CUSTOMER is greater than the sample fee, COMPANY will refund the remaining deposit less the amount equivalent to the sample fee.

Approximately 15-20 business days after payment is received, the 1st set of samples will be shipped and each additional sample will take another approximately 15-20 business days.

i. Communications. The CUSTOMER has 90 calendar days to provide all requested information and respond to all inquiries made by the company for production purposes. If the CUSTOMER does not respond by the allotted 90 calendar days to all communication made by the company, it shall be deemed as material breach, and the COMPANY reserves the right to cancel the purchase order and retain the deposit and any payment the CUSTOMER provided.

j. Product Expirations.

A product’s expiration can only be properly determined by conducting a stability study. In the event the CUSTOMER does not provide the results of a stability study, the product will be issued a “Best By Date”. CUSTOMER requesting an expiration date be affixed to the product is certifying that the product and packaging ordered has been stability tested in accordance with industry standards prior to placing the order and that the product and packaging specifications provided by CUSTOMER are identical to the specification used for stability testing. COMPANY is not responsible for stability testing the product, unless COMPANY and CUSTOMER agree to the contrary in writing. If CUSTOMER’s packaging and/or product specifications have not been stability tested, or the specifications provided to COMPANY deviate from those used in the stability test, CUSTOMER agrees to hold COMPANY harmless and indemnify fully the COMPANY against any and all claims for damages or loss arising out of the product becoming unstable, unmarketable, less effective than claimed or intended, or otherwise deviating from the specifications, which occurred as a result of the products instability after manufacturing.

k. The COMPANY will guarantee up to one year of shelf life for ALL stock products ordered. If a longer shelf life is needed when ordering, the CUSTOMER must order a custom build to suit the needs of the shelf life it requires, and pay the fees occurred.

l. In respect to products for which a stability testing report has not been provided by CUSTOMER, COMPANY will, in accordance with manufacturing and industry standards, designate the time for labeling “Best By Date” on the product upon CUSTOMER’s written request. For products which a stability testing report has been provided by CUSTOMER, COMPANY will designate the time for labeling ' Best By Date' based on the report of the stability testing and CUSTOMER agrees to hold COMPANY harmless and indemnify fully the COMPANY against any and all claims for damages or loss arising out of the product if any issues arise from the stability testing report provided by CUSTOMER.

m. Storage and Disposal Fees. Storage Fees are not part of the Deposit Invoice or initial Final Invoice.

(i) Any complete Products stored in COMPANY’s warehouse will be billed at the standard rate of fifty US dollars ($50.00) per pallet per month. If these Products are held by COMPANY longer than sixty (60) calendar days without payment of final invoice or storage fees, the Products will be considered abandoned, the storage rate shall increase to a penalty rate of fifty US dollars ($50.00) per pallet per week effective from the date of abandonment, and the Products will become the property of COMPANY. The COMPANY has the right to sell goods that are not paid for after 60 days and CUSTOMER waives any and all claims it has or may have against COMPANY for selling the Product after it is abandoned. If COMPANY is unable to sell abandoned Product, CUSTOMER remains liable for paying all storage fees or disposal fees in the discretion of COMPANY. In addition, there will be a two hundred and fifty US dollars ($250.00) pallet disposal fee for any abandoned Product, Product the CUSTOMER requests to be disposed, or in the event the CUSTOMER goes out of business and requests SMP to dispose the Product. CUSTOMER agrees to all additional storage fees herein and accruing until disposal fees are paid by CUSTOMER. In the event that CUSTOMER has paid for Product but has not arranged to pick it up within six months, such Product shall also be considered abandoned.

(ii) In the event that any inventory deposited by CUSTOMER within the confines of COMPANY's warehousing facilities will be billed at the rate of fifty US dollars ($50.00) per pallet per month, including but not limited to, labels, raw materials, and package materials. If this inventory remains inactive for a period exceeding eighteen (18) months, COMPANY will notify CUSTOMER in writing and require CUSTOMER to retrieve this inactive inventory within thirty (30) calendar days at CUSTOMER’s own expense which is in addition to the storage fees aforementioned. If CUSTOMER does not arrange to pick it up within thirty (30) days or refuses to retrieve this inactive inventory within thirty (30) days, such inventory shall be considered abandoned, and COMPANY is entitled to destroy the inactive inventory, and CUSTOMER waives any and all claims it has or may have against COMPANY. Taking this action shall not affect COMPANY's right to charge CUSTOMER for storage fees incurred due to stored time.

n. Case Labels. For all Fulfilment type request, i.e., printing FBA/UPS/Custom labels and affixing said labels to individual cases, will be a service fee of $2.50 per case/label. This will also apply to Amazon freight requests to print and affix labels to individual cases and then affix a pallet label for Amazon shipping. On all completed orders, there will be a charge of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per unit on all requests to replace UPC barcodes on individual units as well as a twenty-five cents ($0.25) per unit fee to add or remove lid stickers.

Moreover, if the deficiency of the Product is found by CUSTOMER or the consumers of the CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER must notify immediately the appropriate Food and Drug Administration district office and initial a recall if the Food and Drug Administration decides the Product violates laws.

CUSTOMER agrees that its obligations to list COMPANY as an additional insured on the policies described above shall continue for a period of five (5) years after the date of termination of this Agreement. This obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12. Confidentiality.

a. General. During discussions with each other, COMPANY and CUSTOMER will be furnished or may otherwise come upon information that is proprietary to the other, including but not limited to vendor contacts, research, product-development plans, product processes, formulas or other non-public information. Due to each party’s inability to determine when the other’s information may be confidential, both parties covenant to treat as confidential all information which they share or which may otherwise be discovered during contacts with each other (“Confidential Information”). The parties now and forever covenant to keep confidential all exchanged information, and, without the other party’s prior written consent, they covenant not to disclose Confidential Information to any other person in any manner, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, unless required under a court order or by subpoena (in such event, the parties shall immediately notify the other in writing of such a requirement).

(i) solicit or otherwise encourage any officer, employee, agent or independent contractor of the other Party to terminate or alter its relationship with such Party, or engage or participate in any enterprise competitive with the other Party through misappropriation of the Confidential Information; or.

(ii) disturb or interfere with, in any way, the business relationships now existing or hereafter developed by the other Party with its customers, employees, consultants, contractors or business associates.

d. Exceptions. The obligations of each party under this clause shall not apply to any information which: (i) is public knowledge at the time of this Agreement or subsequently becomes public knowledge through no act or failure to act on the part of the recipient, its employees, its agents or its Affiliates; (ii) is known to the recipient at the time of disclosure or which is subsequently disclosed to the recipient by a third party who is not under an obligation to maintain the secrecy of the information; (iii) that can be shown by written documentation to have been developed by a party independently of and without reference to the Confidential Information; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by law.

e. Enforcement of Covenants. The parties acknowledge that in the event of a breach of the covenant of confidentiality, the non-breaching party would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be made whole by an award of monetary damages. Accordingly, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedy in law or equity, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and pre-judgment injunction, to be granted without bond and without proof of actual damages, to halt any improper disclosure of Confidential Information.

13. Term and Termination.

a. Term. This Agreement governs each Purchase Order accepted by COMPANY and shall continue in effect with respect to each such Purchase Order until all obligations thereunder have been fulfilled. CUSTOMER’s tender of payment (including a deposit) on any subsequent Purchase Order shall constitute CUSTOMER’s acceptance of the then-current version of this Agreement as published by COMPANY at the time of such tender, whether or not CUSTOMER has signed the then-current version. Either party may terminate this Agreement’s application to future Purchase Orders by written notice to the other party, provided that all obligations under previously accepted Purchase Orders, and all provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive (including without limitation Sections 5(d), 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13(d), 14, 17, and 22), shall survive such termination.

c. Termination for Cause. Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other: (i) if the other party has ceased its business activities or has otherwise begun winding up its business affairs; (ii) if bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or insolvency proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy or similar law or laws for the relief of debtors are instituted by or against the other party and are consented to or are not dismissed within sixty (60) days after institution; (iii) if a custodian, liquidator, receiver or trustee is appointed for the other party or the major part of its property and is not discharged within sixty (60) days after appointment; or (iv) if the other party becomes insolvent or bankrupt, is generally not paying its debts as they become due, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or makes any comparable arrangement with its creditors, (v) change in the product’s quality, any other products safety, or any Government investigations or recall of the products (vi) if the other party materially breach this Agreement.

d. Effect of Termination; Survival of Certain Provisions.

The termination of this Agreement shall not affect any of the provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to continue after termination. If the COMPANY terminates this agreement only because of the CUSTOMER's material breach, including without limitation that the CUSTOMER doesn’t reply to COMPANY’s reasonable request for 90 calendar days, the COMPANY can cancel the order and not refund the deposit and any payment the CUSTOMER provided.

If practicable, the affected party shall use reasonable efforts to eliminate the obstacle(s) preventing its performance. Upon cessation of any Force Majeure Event, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and each party shall resume its performance under the Agreement as soon as possible. If a Force Majeure Event asserted as a basis of CUSTOMER’s nonperformance continues to prevent performance for a period of 90 days, COMPANY may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to CUSTOMER before CUSTOMER resumes performance. CUSTOMER acknowledges that, in the event of a Force Majeure Event affecting COMPANY’s performance, CUSTOMER’s sole remedy shall be the suspension of COMPANY’s obligations during the pendency of the Force Majeure Event, and CUSTOMER shall have no right to terminate this Agreement, cancel any Purchase Order, recover any deposit or other payment, or claim damages of any kind (including consequential, indirect, or lost-profit damages) arising from the delay or nonperformance.

CUSTOMER shall inform COMPANY in writing no later than ten (10) business days prior to (or, if not commercially practicable, promptly after) any change in the control or ownership of all or a substantial part of CUSTOMER or its business.

18. Amendments and Waivers.

This Agreement may only be amended by a written instrument specifically referring to this Agreement and the term that is being amended, that is signed by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by or on behalf of the party waiving compliance.

No waiver by any party of any condition, or of any breach of any term contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of that or any other condition or breach.

19. Severability.

This Agreement shall be interpreted in all respects as if any invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted from this Agreement. All provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

COMPANY’s Affiliates are not parties to this Agreement, but such Affiliates are entitled to the protections and rights afforded to them as provided in this Agreement.

21. No Agency.

This Agreement does not in any way create the relationship of principal and agent or employer and employee between COMPANY and CUSTOMER.
