If Seller is required to provide notice to Buyer pursuant to Paragraph 7 above, such notice must include Seller’s certification that it has conducted supply chain due diligence and an attestation that no form of Forced Labor is involved at any processing stage, directly or indirectly, i.e., in the mining, production or manufacture in whole or in part, of any goods sold to Buyer resulting from that relocation.
