Common use of Type Approval Clause in Contracts

Type Approval. Prior to commencing commercial mass production of any WORLDSPACE Receivers, BPL will submit to WORLDSPACE for its inspection: (i) a prototype of each receiver that BPL proposes to manufacture, so that WORLDSPACE may confirm that such prototype receiver performs in accordance with the WORLDSPACE Format and the Technical Specifications; and (ii) the preliminary design specifications for such receivers, including all circuit diagrams, blueprints (or equivalents thereof), component specifications (if WORLDSPACE requests) and overall specifications of such prototype receiver. If such prototype receiver successfully passes WORLDSPACE’s test, it will be deemed a “WORLDSPACE Receiver” under this Agreement. After a receiver has been qualified as a WORLDSPACE Receiver, no changes may be made to the WORLDSPACE Receiver except for those which are cosmetic in nature or which do not materially affect the function or quality of the WORLDSPACE Receiver unless the receiver is resubmitted to WORLDSPACE for testing and WORLDSPACE confirms that this modified receiver continues to qualify as a WORLDSPACE Receiver. All testing will be performed at WORLDSPACE’s then current testing rates. As of the Effective Date, WORLDSPACE’s standard rates are as set forth in Appendix 9, but WORLDSPACE reserves the right to make reasonable changes to its rates with prior notification to BPL.
