Common use of Return Procedures Clause in Contracts

Return Procedures. If Customer believes a Product does not comply with the warranty set forth in Section 5.1 above, Customer should notify its customer service representative to initiate a Return Materials Authorization (“RMA”). As part of the RMA process, Customer shall notify GLOBALFOUNDRIES in writing of the quantity and type of Product it would like to return and the reason and underlying data that supports the return. At GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ request Customer will return the Products (or a sample amount as requested by GLOBALFOUNDRIES) freight prepaid to a location designated by GLOBALFOUNDRIES. GLOBALFOUNDRIES will assess the returned Products to verify warranty coverage. If GLOBALFOUNDRIES verifies that such Products contain defects which are not due to any event caused by Customer or any third party not authorized by GLOBALFOUNDRIES, including but not limited to accident, misuse, neglect, improper installation, handling or packing, repair or alteration, or by improper testing or usage contrary to any reasonable instructions provided by GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Customer prior to receipt of shipment, GLOBALFOUNDRIES will notify Customer that it authorizes such return and, at GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ election, will replace the returned Products as soon as reasonably practicable, freight prepaid by GLOBALFOUNDRIES, or issue Customer one or more credit note(s) for an amount or amounts representing the purchase price of the returned Products. All Products validated for return by GLOBALFOUNDRIES shall be returned to GLOBALFOUNDRIES by Customer (to the extent not already done so) or destroyed (as evidenced by a scrap certificate to be provided by Customer) as directed by GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
